Give the authors their props

I enjoy hearing the depth of thought that you put into book reviews. Thank you for your work.

I prefer more practically oriented philosophies when considering issues of ethics (I usually consult Buddhist philosophers). However, I think Ethics of Ambiguity by Simone de Beauvoir was a really good meditation on ethics as a lived choice (in a way that all paths of life have ethical valuations, such that no way of life could really be completely morally correct, and every path has some amount of ambiguity, given that one person's freedom often requires another's subversion [which is probably a nod to Hegel, by whom she was heavily influenced]).

Thanks

What is your opinion on the book?

Perfect!!! 💯💯💯 I was on the lookout for something on the Middle East. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Jordan Peterson? in 2024? C'mon man...

Hey IdeasInHat! Have you read any David Foster Wallace in the past? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this work, specifically his essays and short stories

Lots of books with this title or subtitle. Livy is the author of this one. See also Mary Beard, SPQR.

Big history; Maps Of Time, David Christian, 2004.

Hi Bro If you looking for a dense book to purchase, I will recommend "The Enlightenment - The Pursuit Of Happiness" by Ritchie Robertson

Thanks!

Do you have any book suggestions about negotiations

Thank you

Hi, can you do a video on moral philosophy books?

You have much to learn in investing. You far overestimate your abilities at investing; just stick to the Vanguard S&P. Most funds don’t beat the market in the long run after fees and the ones that do are just lucky. The fact that you even try to justify this act of gambling by using warren buffet is ridiculous. Warren buffet even said that 90% of his inheritance to his wife will be put in the S&P.

Would be amazing if you started doing more full length videos on the topics you read about. Also fyi, im still blaming you for my ever growing list of books to buy lol.

AI can't hold together plot points correctly, so there's that. This is NOT a move forward. Why anything after 2023 is no longer readable in my opinion. I'm now reading periods before that point but very careful of anything after. Disgusting what AI has done to writing. Also, you say it's intelligent. No, it's just plagiarizing things carefully and rewriting it. It's like the dumb kid in school that copies the smart kid that actually wrote it but doesn't really know anything. It always chooses the most common denominator answer...that means NOT thinking outside the box. Let me tell you, the books that really inspire are something different. They rehash the same concepts and AI is not capable of originality because of the basis it was built on (Plagiarism). AI cannot do anything original because all it does is copies things. As a writer, I've cried many times since this technology came out. How does that sound to you like there's no longer anything special about any single writer. Everything is now robotically the same because we've allowed it. Dostoevsky, special for his psychological writing, is no longer any different from Haruki Murakami, special for his dreamy scenes...everything is the same now. I hate it with the same passion that the KKK holds for...

Btw, Chopin in the background is beautiful. My favourite Nocturno.

20 minutes long ad in Chinese?? Seriously??

After a long period of not reading much of anything, I read W. Somerset Maugham’s ‘Of Human Bondage’ in three days. What an incredibly powerful experience.

Brother, what do you think about the future of the Middle East? (especially israel - palestine and partly iran) outspokenly

Por favor pon una lista de los libros

Great video! You’ve touched upon many points mentally and emotionally as we all try to move forward in life. Last 4 years has been so damaging! You’re right..reading is life enhancing. Saves many from the toxic fake social media that’s in our face daily. Cup of coffee.. good book and sunny window! Life changing😀

whatever u do dont play that hack gameknown as chesss.

I consider myself a Reader, that is what I am/I also love to write/personal diary and online diaries. I love words. I love reading words. I read mainly non-fiction, but also read novels etc. . . I think I got into reading when I was young as a way to escape the world around me. I suppose I am a Dreamer. I like escaping into books-all kinds of books. I am interested in many things so I read all kinds of books. I spend hours each day reading since I am now 71 years old. But I have always been a reader since my teen-age years. I have spent countless hours in public libraries-used books stores-used books sales-reading about books online etc. . . I like your UA-cam channel because you mention/talk/show books that I might find interesting (I noticed in this video the book 'The German Genius' by Peter Watson which I am currently reading). I am a book lover! I enjoyed this video-books are wonderful! my online diary crookedfingers.livejournal.com/profile/

I couldn't agree more

Those who cannot read cannot learn.

As someone who is disabled, unable to work or go out much, reading and gaming keep me occupied and in way, sane. You mentioning people essentially being at a 'factory setting' i can relate to so much. People who talk about things, and state things they have dont actually know ANYTHING of what their talking about, often time simply believing what ever the tv or someone close to them told them. Try to politely and tactifully better inform them, and they tend to get mad, refuse to believe you ect... while refusing to acknowledge any proof you try to give them, even when its proof THEY asked for. It's frustrating and tiring dealing with people.

I just love your content.♥

Just subscribed!!!

Great timing of this video! I'm a student in uni and during the summer break I finally have free time and one thing I always wanted to do was to just read more. So at the beginning of the summer I started reading every single day, even finished 2 books in one day, which was very surprising to me. But a week ago I just stopped and I couldn't really even figure out why I was pushing myself to read this much. But now that I think about it: for me it comes down to the way I decide to spend my time. Im free to do whatever I want throughout my day and its just a better use of my time to read a book instead of scroll on instagram or watch youtube - I might not remember either in a year, but as that quote goes 'I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.' Also great point on not all books being good, I found that out just recently (I have read around 90 books total). I usually look at the ratings on goodreads, but sometimes when you start it just doesnt click at all. These days I try to avoid a bad book by reading a free sample from kindle if available (Id also be interested how you decide whether a book is worth your time). Anyways, fantastic video!!! Subscribed and maybe in the future make a bit more of a positive "should you read?", this one mainly focued on why you maybe shouldnt, Id be very interested to hear you opinion on that.

Do u want to have children?

Your comment about reading leading to uncertainty reminded me of my favorite Socrates quote; “all I really know is the extent of my ignorance”.

I subscribed. Keep sharing your thoughts, they are interesting.

It’s better than television but exercise is better

I think the beauty of reading is that it makes you realize that you can never know everything. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be if I knew everything there is to know, because why bother living on, if there is nothing to discover? Having said that, I also think that life is only worth living when you're striving for the truth, one should decide to desillusion oneself and become painfully aware of ons weaknesses. If the preassumption, that truth is meaningfull, is correct or one decides to observe it as correct, than that would be the real reason why you should take the time and effort to read and also to take sacrifices for it. What are your opinions on that? I'm curious.

As a reader, this is a very interesting video. I've been an avid reader since around 2010 (the year I graduated from undergrad). Yet, within all of my reading for almost 15 years, I sometimes wish I was still ignorant about some of the things I've learned about life and the world as a result of reading. I feel like once you see it, you can't unsee it. While I am grateful that I am more aware of some things about life and the world, sometimes I wish I did not know about those realities.

Brilliant analysis. I was also pondering about the quote below a lot. What do you think Einstein wants to say here? Quote - "Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. Quote - " Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

I really enjoy time on my own reading however as you said it can make you socially inept. As you grow older that social aspect becomes more important for your mental Health so now I am trying to balance things out. A few years I used to read 50 to 70 books , now I only spend 20 min max doing and I am trying interact with people ( kind of hard but worth trying).

I truly appreciate the depth of knowledge and level of consideration you gave to this subject. Not many people will look up the reference material provided in citations. It demonstrates curiosity. As for the quality of books one chooses, quite often i buy online and pay attention to the reviews and watch any interviews given by the authors. My main struggles with reading are the commitment of time and the ability to recall the information. The benefit from reading, for me, is the education or general knowledge it provides. It benefits attention span, sequential thought, and problem-solving. I tend to read nonfiction books with psychological themes. Thank you for this thought provoking video. Yours is one of my favorite channels.

I sometimes don't read so that I can get more out of life and get some perspective. Philosophy applied recursively to philosophy becomes kind of unfulfilling after a while, and I find myself even more motivated to read if I go out into the world and try to find evidence for philosophical theories in my surroundings. ... I also sometimes need to take up athletic hobbies to make myself feel alive and live less in my head. Dancing has been a great way for me to expand my consciousness down an alternate route of existing. ... likewise, simply going out and talking to people has shown me how little I need to know to get by, thus taking some pressure off of finishing the books I've bought. ... there's also the occasional anime show or video game that can give my life a different perspective that I wouldn't get by reading. ... and yet, I usually end up returning to reading anyway. I sometimes should be less wary of taking time away from the books, because I usually come back anyway.

Why do you read or not read?

Don’t play chess bruh you’re too good for chess. Chess is a game that sucks up too much time and effort to be good at and by that point you’re not good at anything else. Much love from wakanda 😊

like your videos. just for the hell of it, here are 3 books I've read in the past year that I think you might find interesting: - The Logic of Sense -- Gilles Deleuze (this one is going to sound insane if you just look it up on wikipedia or whatever, but trust me when I say it's one of the most novel and fascinating philosophy books I've ever read) - What Darwin Got Wrong -- Jerry Fodor - Mind & World -- John McDowell might have to get pdf/epub or kindle versions, but well worth it imo

Thank you for these videos. Please, keep them coming.

Any books recommendations about *sociolinguistics* ?
