You ask: do your listeners like when you get into the philosophy of life, war and politics? I say yes! I absolutely love it! Who needs to sit in a class and listen to a lecture when I can listen to you.?Theres is a lot to learn here. Thank you
Your 💯spot on regarding those who boast of dominating strength & aspire to power. Disregarding the fact that true strength doesn’t need to bost. True strength comprises compassion & awareness that all life is interconnected. and strength is dependent on shifting the ego to a lesser importance.
Those who love Reality take responsibility because it is a necessary virtue to maintain It. Our completely irresponsible republican administration & congress is the bizzaro version of what it should be. Maybe when the pendulum swings back towards virtue & reality we will get some relief, some respite from the onslaught of arrested development and narcissism that plagues our society.
" If we can’t talk honestly about responsibility, about virtue, about what strong leadership actually looks like—and about the deeper sources of human meaning—then we can’t understand the political moment we’re living through, let alone navigate it. My hope is that this conversation helps ground you the way it grounded me."
Mike, either I live a fully delusional existence or millions of Americans that still have not seen the "elephant in the room" are. When I am ignorant, fuck up, spout bullshit, I am OK with that being called out by others. I regard myself, immodestly, as a very good observer of human behavior.
▶︎ I have only seen irresponsibility on the part of Trump, his Administration and the Republican Congress (Trump et al.).
▶︎ I have seen nothing of Trump et al.'s actions that speak of virtue, other than MTG resigning and speaking out against Trump. What the GOP Congress has done since July is the opposite of virtue. What the US government is doing with Ukraine is sacrificing the country and its people to please Putin and therefore Trump. I maintain that Trump is a functional Russian operative.
▶︎ I see nothing of leadership per Trump et al. What I see is gross corruption, blatant fascism, and the typical moves of a malignant narcissist. I terribly regret not having finished a book back in 2015 on Trump's psychopathy. He continues to show signs of worsening.
Again, immodestly, I see and have seen what is blatantly evil in both Trump, his Cabinet and many of the GOP Congress.

I love it when you do the 'philosophy thing'. Please keep it up. I am anxious to hear your piece on Nietzsche.
