Pierre is a great teacher, and a very interesting group as well. Thanks for the upload, these videos are such a treasure.

That lady is a trooper, she's always debating the won't ideas

Pierre, your wisdom is so advance for this world of ignorance. Once people are able to understand what you teach there will be no suffering.

Great video, very well explained it is clear and shown on the spot, beautiful. But that woman seems hopeless she just can't talk about herself doesn't she? Coming up with examples and hearsay not to face how rude and out of the point she is, trying to discredit what's explained as a way to not look at her own pathologos. Narcissist is hers and they are a hard nut to crack even more so, by themselves. Pierre is doing great towards her though it maybe the best way to deal with them. For I've tried to confront the type leading them to shut down and there was no pay off for anybody.

Glad to see someone else picked up on her, she made it nearly unlistenable for me even with skipping her inane “questions” (excuses to go on about her own thoughts and feels)

@@erikamiller1462 Haha well thankfully it's the only video where she's reacting this way as far as I remember. But I am still divided about Pierre's way, he's too soft in my opinion considering how those antique greeks were knowned to be as intellectual as physical (practicing wrestling for all of them) I doubt they would have let their lessons be taken over like this, a midwife has to be stern sometimes, what do you think?

Pathologos is a term coined by Pierre. Socrates as midwife is found in Thaetetus.
