Another thought-provoking lecture about a subject I haven’t really found that interesting in contexts other than yours. You make me want to read Nietzsche! I also enjoy the inclusion of your own writings and look forward to another book after Motes and Beams. I was just listening to Joseph Campbell’s Power of Myth, and was struck by the synchronicity of his discussion of agrarian societies developing a sacrificed and resurrected deity out of their observation of crops being cut down and regrowing. He never mentions Dionysus in this section, but it fits perfectly with your lecture. Thank you and keep up the good work!

How old are you Michael? I feel like I can't tell if you're in your 20s or 30s (or 40s???)

Pretty sure he's between 30 and 32 right now. I remember at one point learning that he was a few years younger than me, and I just turned 34.

Moreover, the "integration of Evil" only distinguishes itself from Evil by being even more Evil (just as, for example, truth only distinguishes itself from lies by being the ultimate lie). I'm sure your own mention of digestion in this sense makes the nature of the "great work" obvious.
