  1. Thank you. I appreciate your channel. These short pieces sometimes come into my YouTube feed juxtaposed in enlightening ways. This dovetails nicely with your discussion on Jung that you end with "a thousand zeros do not add up to one." Nice work.

  2. I take it that what you have done here is cast out a wide net of people you can feel superior to after some ambiguous virtue-signalling and a mixed passive-aggressive message that seems to say "You are an idiot, have a good day," R-Type.

  3. I can't help but wonder if your "Have a good day..." is a passive-aggressive jab of some kind. R-Type. I don't think you want us to have a good day and feel superior in the moment for it?

  4. That doesn't sound boring, Michael Blair.

  7.  james c  I wonder how the world would have been different if we had read some different books? Even our cultural revelations were standard.

  8.  james c  It does sound like things have gotten worse. I wasn't being critical of those particular books. It was more than those were the exact set of books I read in high school too.

  11.  Strelok  Perhaps I am retired after a thirty-year career (which, sadly contained years where I did nothing but work) and looking after my dying mother, who has dementia. A lot of the second is in being around. Sometimes I have used weed as an escape. I could and would easily quit if I had compelling work again. I am retired from urban planning and have not figured out the next thing I will do. I study a lot, as that is my nature. As a self-help worker, you may want to be more reflective on where your victim is in life. I feel lucky to have what I need and don't think that I deserve something different from what I have. I was never very greedy, and I indeed think of people with superficial, materialistic values as unimportant.

  12. ​ Strelok  Perhaps their unhappiness and insecurity will propel them to a more meaningful life, or perhaps they will have the lives they deserve. I think of it as poetic justice. Rather than wanting to help them, I am amused by their unhappiness. Thank you for the suggestion. It will be something to do with writing.

  13. If we don't have social engineering, we have random social engineering, teddy toto. It may be less sinister than you think. If we can recreate social health, why would we not?
