John Vervaeke | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

[@lipto722]

I simultaneously appreciate Theo's knack for keeping his same language and comedic demeanor while scaling up in complexity of discussion, along with Vervaeke's ability to do the same in the opposite direction. Two distant Universes come into contact, entangle, and harmonize into dialogos.

[@collinbarnard207]

That’s a real succinct way of putting it. Well said.

[@katdog9786]

Nailed it lipto. Is it wrong that I wanna make out with you??

[@crakhaed]

Hell yeah dude

[@Verifiedsinger]

Perfectly said!

[@dustinlovell7710]

There's no knack so much as he's just genuinely curious. It's refreshing but he's no God, merely being who God perhaps called him to be (honest).

[@HimmyNeutr0n1]

I love how professors talk when they love what they do. Had the privilege of having a few professors like this throughout college. Always an awesome class

[@blue10880]

[@Droo75]

Theo’s best episode in my opinion. This is the height of his journey and self realisation. He already had these theories aligned in that old grey hitter through experience. This episode validated my journey too. Tough times, but new found hope and muscle. I’m nobody without my family and a deeper meaning. Still grasping at the deeper meaning, but feel there is something tangible to grab. Chin up all. Bare your loved ones burden and find your feet are light.

[@AlbertoBalsalme]

Beautifully said, friend. That last sentence is really powerful, is it a quote of yours?

[@AmmoGus1]

​@@AlbertoBalsalmepretty it's not his quote lol its just something he said

[@Droo75]

@@AlbertoBalsalme this episode inspired those words. I am low and have found healing in fractured relationships as they support me. I now know the way out is through lifting others too. My best friends father passed a day after this episode. I have been hiding my troubles from him and now is not the time either. I said that last line to him and it helped a lot. I would suggest that is now MY quote and is a worthy one. As for the commenter below, they project their own hurt and seem to have missed the point in the whole discussion. I really appreciate your words and time. Gang Gang!

[@Droo75]

@@AmmoGus1 pretty sure Socrates quotes were just stuff he said too. When does an utterance become a quote? When it is validated by others. So yeah, thanks, it is now my quote bucko.

This is for the people dealing in mental health issues, drug addiction, recovery, students, etc. This is for the people who are open to this, like me. I enjoy Theo going into mindful subjects that help articulate thoughts and concepts people don’t typically explore while going through life. Philosophy and Psychology are awesome and Theo is a comedian but he has depth and intelligence. Hes just flexing his ability to be open minded and fluent in engaging with these concepts because hes dealt with a lot in his own life.

He talks a lot, but doesn’t say much.

[@ThePathOfEudaimonia]

​@@TheDanificationYou hear a lot, but you don't listen much.

[@Chibotgaming]

Hey Theo hope this gets to ur eyes one day. Mr. Vervaeke asked you "if one thing could exist without you, what would it be? And are you working to have an impact on that thing?" You said "happy families, happy children" and you said you dont think you are making an impact. You really are brother i wanted you to know you really are making a difference. My son was born very premature and has developed autism and other challenges. I do my best to make him happy, its my top priority in life. You really remind me of my best friend i grew up with that OD'd and it really wrecked my life. When i hear u and ur stories it brings him back to memory and encourages me to be positive. Its hard being the breadwinner and supporting a family and trying to make sure everyone is happy, but you make it easier brother. Keep on keeping on, gang gang always

[@haleyrenae8404]

I absolutely agree. I found Theo early on in my recovery from addiction & have SO MANY friends who also listen to him. He may not see it, but the hope/knowledge I gain from these videos gives me more strength to be a good human to my family that I wasn't in my past. Idk if that makes sense but that was my immediate thought when he said that!

[@pictzone]

does it offend you when Theo makes jokes of people that have a little of the "-tism"? 😂😂

[@Abcg59]

Theo is like a trip sitter for society.

[@Chibotgaming]

@@pictzone not at all. I'm a true believer of there is a time and place for *almost everything. Finding comedians offensive just doesn't make sense to me. Like even if they are over the top shock comedians im like Oh OK thats their style, not for me but i dont hate them or try to censor them. I actually wrestled with my emotions on this a lot bc i've always joked about it before my sons birth, but I wasn't a paid comedian, i was an immature child in a toxic family. Long story short when my bestfreind since pre-k OD'd i turned my life around. Now I can still joke about anything, but I'm much more aware about it and would only tolerate lighthearted joking (nothing demeaning, aggressive, hateful etc) and i think Theo nails that with his humor, and on topic Shane Gillis too

[@clarisab6621]

Thank you for sharing this. This is beautiful. Be kind to yourself because what you’re doing isn’t easy but it’s worth it.

[@EricYoungArt]

I'm so happy John Vervaeke is getting more attention, his ideas are so interesting and refreshing. Awakening from the Meaning Crisis is a fantastic series, I highly recommend it.

[@Tormentality]

I'm watching this cause I can't get through John's series. Honest question, as someone who's gone through all John's content, in much MUCH greater depth than here, why are you still interested in this interview?

[@EricYoungArt]

@@Tormentality unique individuals have unique conversations when they come together. They elevated each other and pull things out from one another that isn't normally accessible when they're alone. This is the essence of the practice of Dialogos that John is a huge proponent of. Listening to this process unfold amongst interesting individuals is very beneficial on multiple levels. Even if you know those individuals very well.

[@peten5426]

@@EricYoungArt Agreed with this. Went through the whole series as it came out in 2019. Last night was actually just thinking to myself how I've slowed down on watching JV because its all become well worn out territory. But couldn't click fast enough when I saw this today as seeing how Theo bounced off JV's ideas was too much to pass up.

[@Tormentality]

@@EricYoungArt I know them well, watch half the podcast, never heard anything new or novel. I dunno wtf you or most of the comments are talking about. If someone likes John, watch his series. If it's too boring or wordy or time consuming, watch this dumbed down interview and you have the coles notes. No big deal.

[@jacob97507]

[@austinc9474]

In the world we live in today, the meaning of life is a topic that should be discussed more often. Too many political discussions and not enough human discussions. Keep doing the Lords work Theo! We appreciate you brother.

[@Diomedes99]

It should be taught in schools. For some reason gender identity is more important than finding meaning and exploring ourselves through philosophy.

[@stepheninderlied5091]

That's because the political has become the sacred for most people.
