I actually got in a lot of trouble for saying this is at work in a meeting.

And i heard the phrase "Good is the enemy of great" one too many times. I'm glad I no longer work there

Bro, I stumbled on your channel in the most random way, and i'm not gonna lie, I didn't know what to think at first. Why would I ever watch a youtube channel on philosophy and documenting things that I find in my day today life? Thats not me...or at least it wasn't to this point. Not only have you given me perspective into the benefits of this practice, but you've also made it so non-threatening and very "common man". Thank you for putting together a channel that is not pretentious or full of ego. I truly feel like you are just trying to share ways to make people better. I can't stop watching now. God bless.

As for me, every time I encounter the justification of evil in the world (including my own by myself), I remember the phrase by Russian playwright Evgeny Schwartz, *_'We all studied at the school of evil, but who forced you to be the first student?'._* This phrase means that we are all to some extent familiar with the concept of evil and its manifestations, but nobody forced us to be the first students in this 'school of evil.' It serves as a reminder that each individual has the autonomy to determine how they will utilize their knowledge and experience. Ultimately, it is only the individual who bears the personal responsibility for their choices. By the way, you are an incredibly inspiring individual, Parker. You have ignited in me the idea of creating commonplace books for each branch of knowledge (formal, natural, social sciences, and philosophy). May I inquire about your note-taking process? Do your notes possess their own independent ontological essence and are stored separately, or are they merely temporary drafts awaiting their turn to be included in the commonplace book?

Its meaning is that if a person has made a promise to someone, he should keep it, and if a person knows that he cannot fulfill the promise, it is better not to make it.

I hope you as a philosopher will take this criticism in a light spirit: a lot of the time when we quote things, especially out of context, what we are really doing is trying to prove by reference to authority our own beliefs and to make them seem nobler and truer without really testing them. Sometimes in actual contradiction with the authority we quote. When I was a kid I used to keep a txt file of all the funny things I'd heard, just as a pick me up. I liked Monty Python and Douglas Adams so they showed up a lot there. As an adult I have found I do not like transcribing things at all, but I will still write about something interesting I learned earlier in the day mostly as a means of improving my memory of that thing by free recall and transformation. I could and usually do just do that in my mind, but I will sometimes falsely fall for this trap of hoarding references I inevitably don't ever refer to. For me I think keeping a book of my own poetry is more enjoyable, because that I do find myself coming back to and being surprised at the memories it conjures. Somehow for me that doesn't quite feel like transcribing or hoarding, because it takes quite a bit of mental effort and time to compose, so it's worth recording even if it's just for me.

👍🏽🇬🇧 September 2023 Loving this sir! It's actually this very subject that brought your channel to my attention. I'm really glad to see that you're deep-diving into this area. I love the thought that to keep a commonplace book is to partake in something that belongs in entirely ancient epochs.

“Individually, we are but one drop. Together, we are an ocean” - Ryunosuke Satoro I wish the world would come to adapt to this wonderful quote. I believe this comment section is currently practicing this ideology. I hope you all find enlightenment in whatever it is you’re pursuing.

Great video! Thanks for creating it! Maybe in the future you can show us how you physically store all your books and how you store all your commonplace books (a personal library tour)

So I guess i stumbled into this my self. I have a book full of quotes. I call it my “Quote Journal”. I put all my favorite quotes and sayings in it. From movies to books. I my self am full of quotes (helps my express ideas) so my journal is full of them. It is in a bigger moleskin which now seeing this I wish I started it off smaller. But I keep it still. Need to put more quotes in it.

@@ParkerNotes I also put people I knows saying it. My favorite is from a very close friend “Everything happens for a reason” -Ally. But it’s really funny. Jsut watching having a moment of “oh shit. I do that.” Absolutely love the content. Starting my own philosophy journey and your videos have been a huge help.

Could you tell about your note-taking systeme, sir, is it intergrated with commonplace books you have?
@ParkerNotes11 ай бұрын
I usually start with marginal notes in books or articles. I also take notes from lectures. I use the marginal notes as flags to come back later and add passages, notes, and thoughts to my commonplace books

I’m basically an atheist, but I genuinely think that Jesus was one of the greatest philosophers. I grew up in a religious/spiritual family and everything I remember or still hear about is very wise and quite useful in day to day life. I’d love to see that video as well

Why are certain quotations in your gold commonplace book x-ed out? Are they sayings you no longer consider wise? (I don’t ask that facetiously!)
