  1. Close for me as well. I love how Lex really pushed back on him at various times. Jordan speaks with so much passion that he can easily be misunderstood.

  2. 1:49:50 It's not focus, Lex. Focus is a matter of the will. What JBP is describing as that "dead quiet" is *attention*. Simone Weil (and Iris Murdoch) spoke of attention as the "just and loving gaze". It's akin to admiration and respect and is involuntary. It's deeper than the mere intellect and the will. It's a space--related to hospitality. 1:50:54 Yep. Jordan just called it attention. I'm not sure if he's explicitly familiar with "the just and loving gaze", but he intuits it for sure. And he adds "worship" and "communion" right after...yes.
