Comments by "iggle" (@iggle6448) on "Former Cage Fighter on Western Art & Culture - how it can empower & bring meaning into modern life" video.
For me, hearing all those names and references and concepts was an unalloyed joy. It all directly connects John to me and many others of us who deeply lament the devastation that wokeism is wreaking. When John was born I was just beginning to read philosophy and art history at Uni. We live in an increasingly philistine world where people are encouraged to be frightened of the old masters and mistresses, and utterly irrationally angry at them. It's delightful and so reassuring to hear a younger person's knowledge and passion about the sine qua non of our Western past. Huge credit also to John's mum for her highly intelligent parenting and her loving support; she opened all these doors for him and kept them open. As a lone parent, this will not have been without sacrifices.
