I just found your channel. I really enjoy the kind of content you provide and I was trying to find a channel that wasn’t all AI. I looked through your video list and found this one and subscribed right away! I’m excited to start watching your work!

I just found this video after watching several of your other videos and reading your books. It is very meaningful to "meet" you personally via this video. Your writing and thinking is enriching and inspiring for this 70 year old philosopher.

Your channel was fine with the anonymity… I hadn’t given it much thought WHO the voice was I just noticed it would lull me into an alpha wave or near sleep state then jar me awake with profundity… maybe I did think one time you sounded like a lonesome guy in Brooklyn who was contemplating winter from a window and therefore these thoughts arrived

I love this channel. I've been in a complicated living situation for months, leading to unhealthy levels of stress that have lead into cognitive and emotional decline. For years, this has been such a Mesmerizing and therapeutic outlet for me to better understand my mind, and it was also what peaked my interest in philosophy. I'm seeing this video today, while being at the crossroads of a "Life reset" if you will. It is symbolic, really – I haven't been seeing a way forward lately, mainly due to my own fears and experiences with perception, and people pleasing, but then.. I just focused on this entire video. It's almost like a wake up call, a reminder that my life is my own, that I matter, and that there IS a way forward.
We all struggle with mental health. Don't let anyone brush you off as "Crazy," always put your trust in your desired self/lifepath first. Most times, the people who dismiss you as "Crazy" just don't understand mental health. There is always a way forward. There will always be another pursuit, so long as you protect yourself inside the storm.
Thank you for making this channel.

3:26 Who was the voice in the first videos? It wasn’t yours and maybe it was a TTS or voice changer

Added one of your videos from 2 months ago in my watch later playlist. Today I saw it again and since I usually watch only few channels I trusted and followed I looked up your channel to see if the videos are just slop being read out loud. Thank you for explanation, subscribed.

I was subbed to you long ago but unsubbed because I wasn't sure what was or wasn't AI. So I unsubbed just in case. I'm back now.
Sometimes YouTube usernames like yours are very common amongst AI channels.

Great stuff brother! You inspired a song I wrote called of course "in pursuit of wonder" on my YouTube channel…. there is both an original version (guitar/voice) or an a.i. cover. Thanks again

Oh man, I cannot tell you how much you've influenced my thought process, beliefs and rational as a current 21 year old. I started watching your videos freshman year of high school and your videos have been a breath of fresh air!
