Synopsis of Goethe's Faust is incorrectly stated. Faust bargained his soul for knowledge, NOT bodily pleasures.

I believe this is incorrect presumption to say -“only humans are telling stories”. Elephants are grieving/morning dead family member’s bones scattered, even after years go by . Chimpanzees teach each other how to crack nuts with rocks or sticks. Chimpanzees also behave expressing symbolic thinking by building altars with rocks, by putting rocks into hollows of the trees. There might be more examples of animals referring to other space and time. Other space, and time, such as #past or #future. In general, in my opinion, animals don’t tell stories because animals exist perpetually in now moment. Humans are addicted to Not being in Now moment and constantly mind traveling, revising past and fantasizing about future. By doing so causing mental disorders to themselves #Bogoslowsky .🦁🤴

There is something wonderufully poetic, even magical, about the fact that the oldest recorded story of man is in fact a story about immortality.

The sheer materials that needed to be gathered and the editing, the script and so many other things that were at play, man you deserve our dearest respect and love. Great Job ❤❤❤

This is one of the greatest channels I’ve come across on KZread… comprehensive, well researched, digestible, and comedic! A true masterclass of a video 👏🏾

MAN! I don't know how to express my feelings about this job that you have done! Thank you so so much for this journey. I took so many notes, books, and pieces of art from your MASTERPIECE! Please don't stop making it, and if it is in your part of interest please consider one video for Paintings! LOVE, PIECE, and RESPECT!

Your channel is important; It’s necessary. Thank you for dissecting literature with such quality and care; It is my love language and you speak it better than most.

"Literature" is such a rich and fascinating subject! It encompasses everything from classic novels and poetry to modern plays and short stories. Studying literature can open up a world of imagination and insight, offering a deeper understanding of different cultures, history, and human emotions. It's truly wonderful to see comprehensive courses that explore the full depth and breadth of literature, allowing learners to embark on an incredible journey through the written word. Enjoy exploring this vast and beautiful realm! 📚✨

I think the future of storytelling is for each and every one to become her/his own hero. To realise the importance of every action/inaction the choose to bring to reality. To become aware that their life is a story and they are the author . To care about themselves and others as parts of the same team: the humans.

The work you do will bring literature back to the mainstream. I wish you get a Guggenheim fellowship or a tenured professorship so that you can educate people with your superior than moribund academic insights

Like always, you never manage to dissapoint but always impress. Needed this video, will listen to it like a podcast. Perhaps it's selfish of me but I think video's like this one and the philosophy one are super insightful, such condensed knowledge, it would be cool if you could do one on psychology. Perhaps?

I was needing something like this.

Epic video, sir.

To thank you for the huge effort and very beautiful insight provided should exist a different level of appreciation,beyond excellent! To answer to where literature or the story is heading,we need to understand trough billions of future minds,first they will need to deal with the adversities of today life and the new ones ,or the ones that will be created ,challenges will never end for us and them. We started to understand bit’s and pieces of brain,reality,space,micro cosmology ,the improvement of our species or decline could give some idea’s on that answer…

This is a great idea for a podcast.
