At a debate held at Lafayette college where JDB---(the big guy) was invited to discuss Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West.

Yeah, I really like discussions that are dense with interesting information and mythology, history, culture, and civilization are some of my favorite topics.

Haha, I just want to overcome the past and to overcome it you have to deal with it and best it. You won't beat Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one basketball if you can't at least play as well as him, so I have to first become like the past to become more than it; there are no shortcuts or royal roads to intellectual and creative mastery, so a lot of reading and long-winded lectures take up my time when I'm not working on my personal projects and teaching.

Lol I am not surprised you knew the answer, thanks!

Indeed. Most things of value are obtained in quiet darkness.
I prefer to clumsily stumble my way to greatness moderate achievements though, for better or worse.

Lol, you're welcome.

Absolutely, oh I stumble and am clumsy at times; I just work until I'm not anymore which is why mastery is such a long process. I respect that and like your disposition. On a relatable level, my insistence on pursuing greatness is born out of an existential desire for purpose and need to preoccupy my overactive mind and imagination. Like ENTPs I hate boredom.

I feel you on that. It's great that you are channeling things in a positive useful direction!

Thanks, this comes from Nietzsche and Carl Jung's influence on my thinking and my pragmatic bent as a personality. What are things you like to do?

Le mort and le petit mort being the first two among them.

Impressively insightful and accurate, balanced engagement in terms of energy, and under seven minutes.

As such, recommended. Thanks for sharing. Especially as I was burned out on type videos some time ago.

One cannot dismiss in good faith those things which reveal their quality by simply being that which they are, no?

Best,
Ian
