Why some countries are poor and others rich.

Are we not lucky to be where we are? It sucks a little less thinking about your country when one knows that there's someone else in a much more corrupt country that suffers more than you...

This is pretty harrowing to me somehow- but the reminder is useful. (I wonder what people here 'remind' themselves of...)

Be Kind.

These School of Life lessons are pretty good introductions, I use them in several of my undergraduate classes.

I wish they would made some more.

(By the way, Heidegger's philosophy of art is my dissertation topic.)

I don't mean to put up a certain number of these videos (say... a hundred?) but as far as I'm aware- no one's complaining about it so I'll keep putting up the occasional one which might be of interest or a reminder to something one already 'knows'.

A very interesting explanation for BAD TASTE.

We sometimes talk about mediation. While there is a risk and even danger in complicating (or ruining) matters by offering various different systems of 'meditation' here is a different system that I'm not sure I would even call meditation by the School of Life. It might however be useful to those more interested in hearing their own thoughts and perhaps to some extent accepting them...

I hadn't heard of this philosopher before but it's excellent.

I really quite like it,

History of Ideas- Religion.

This might be interesting for some who see Jediism as a religion and are asked the question- what does it serve? What do all religions serve? Enjoy.

Astrophysics and Religion- perhaps as almost a follow up to the previous post...

It can be nice to have that sense of awe but sometimes it seems like the numbers are so big and the possibilities are so small that I tell myself i can't imagine. Perhaps the awe comes from that imagination I and perhaps we sometimes don't care for...

Worried about having a porn addiction? You're not alone! I like their reasoning- it's not against pornography but rather looking at why we look at pornography. I guess one question that seems pretty important to me is- "When is it enough?" and only each person can answer that themselves... Enjoy!
