I left a comment on this one, and it was erased . Thank you, Professor Wes Cecil. I listened to the new one today, Dec. 27th, 2023. Happy New Year 2024 to all who listen with an open mind with attention and awareness, with intelligence and integrity.

No media for a week felt very relaxing for me. I hadn’t realized how I felt a pressure to keep up with content as soon as it was released. I still cheated a bit and got books from the library & listened to music near the end of the week. I’m gonna try sticking with a ban on watching videos or movies. I didn’t realize how much time that took up & how little I enjoyed it.

My favorite newly discovered YTer

Thank you Wes! 😊 It's always a pleasure to listen to your material.

My favorite lecturer!

Great conclusion to an interesting lecture series, much to think about. Thank you!

Similar to the conclusion, Roger Mellott said - We should recognise our values and support them behaviourally. . . . . . .

I have a great understanding for dropping The Brothers Karamazov when so much of interesting insights are available through the internet today (and my life is so short).

Isn't amazing to think of all the millions of books or youtube videos or movies or music... here we are giving Wes Cecil our attention! Thank you Wes! I have subscribed to Amazon Music and have access to a lot of titles. I have been amazed that Amazon curates these incredible playlists that I have been so pleased with. I am not sure how their algorithms really get my music likes. It is much better than radio stations or even me trying to find the music, at getting my particular musical tastes.

wow. just, wow.

Great series of lessions!

Thomas, funny, appealingly dark, tellingly succinct. Oliver Stone said, "We live in a Disney world." I think Mike Moore's docs, with his ironic humor, is one of the few who gets us beyond this, recommend his tongue in cheek Where To Invade Next? Note my comment above.

I can't imagine that I am the first to point out that you are the most vibrant when you are in front of an audience, directly. Can that not be be done?

CHAMP!

I'm listening to this because my phone is pushing information to me, (got a notification). 😅

12:20 I've heard this many times from The Wise but have seen no studies that aren't based on anecdote. Every time the claim is made, there is always someone (with echoes from the chorus) who voices the opinion that they thoroughly enjoyed the isolation brought about by the pandemic. I am in that category. For introverts, social interaction is exhausting. For autistic people, the information events (cues, signals, coercions) received via a phone are by far easier to cope with than those received (facial expressions, body language, verbal, pheromonal) from our fellow bipedal ecosystems.
