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, :) Enjoy!

This came out today. The Meaning of Life in 60 seconds. How much is true? Up to you, :) Hope it gives pause for thought.

History of Ideas- Religion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge071m9bGeY

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...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZporFnmDS8I

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...

Care to understand Wabi-sabi? I think it's good stuff for learning how to see from another point of view, :)

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!

some people say "addiction"
i always thought of it as "dedication"


EDIT: that was a joke:
and totjo does not in any way endorse addiction, or dedication, to pornography
People are complicated.

I thought this was rather well done, :)
How do you forgive someone else?

Edit* And why did I ask only that one question when I could add- how do we forgive ourselves?

In precisely the same way, Josh ... Listen to it again -- don't you hear the "how to" part ? ;)

This is cool. Being friends means opening up and being vulnerable. And then I guess it's for the other person to use empathy (rather than sympathy; see Brene Brown) and the two connect.

Also- what was pretty funny; look at what's recommended for me by the school of life, :) ( Warning- dark humour, :D )
