Episode 157 ... The Creation of Meaning - Beauvoir

You are very articulate and deliver these ideas in a very understandable and beautiful way. You don’t impose any extra meaning, which I find is very hard and valuable when sharing these ideas with other people. You are making a change somewhere in the world, through us, people listening any valuing the work you have been putting a very serious effort into. Kudos and appreciate all you do.

"nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me. Any way the wind blows..."

Thank you so much for all that you do. I love your podcasts!!!!!!!!

Love when you drop some Beauvoir content.

Listening to this podcast has been one of my preferred ways to learn English and new vocabulary. Thank you for the excellent work you make. Greetings from Colombia.

Beauvoir had interesting thoughts on meaning, creativity, and the ethics of ambiguity.

Thank for everything stephen!

Petting my dog now. Her smooth fur has meaning.

So... re-listening the lecture, I have had this wonder, which you highlight... none of us can avoid the question of meaning, and morality, and Truth... we simply cannot function with out some framework, some conclusion, and I've found that odd: a mind in a sea of mindlessness... driven by inherent necessity, to "make sense" of that sea. Almost like it was on purpose... the universe is the canvas upon which we paint our self-portrait. And I have to wonder where this portrait will be hung and who will value it, for I do believe it surely will be valued.

Thank you for making these

The unknowing leads to mysticism.

Loved this one

Interesting and simple way of relating to philosophy.wonderful work.do keep it up.

such a wonderful philosophy! listening to this helped clear my world view a bit.

I really appreciate your work! What seems to be the unstated predicate of these philosophers you've illuminated is the existence, in reality, of Preference; good, better, bad, preferred, disliked, uncomfortable, etc. and its oddity in this Universe. All of the questions about and proposed solutions to our state devolve to our Preferential management of Preference; denial, acceptance, discipline, freedom... But the elephant in the room, imo, is its existence at all, in a universe of mindless mechanics. I would argue that this single element demands a transcendent solution, some spiritual reality, and if it doesn't exist, neither does an "I", and I absolutely exist.

love your podcasts .
