really do remind a lot of us of the late Michael Sugrue 🥺- Thank You for your contributions to reigniting the minds & souls of modern Humanity.

quite the compliment. I loved his lectures and actively studied his style for my own. I loved how conversational he makes it sound (much more so than I) ... my only issue with it is it's often not that rigorous and systematic (on this front I recommend prof. Charles Matthews who did an excellent series on City of God). I'm trying to combine the two styles with respective tradeoffs of course.

A beautiful beautiful beautiful conversation. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I got hooked quickly at the Intro when the Professor said at 0:35 - "I had the experience of meeting someone whom I felt this is not fungible, this is absolute... I happen to be married to that person." He studied the greatest writer/writings on love and also experienced it. Professor Greenblatt is a lucky man.

Really excited and waiting for an analysis on Dantes Divine Comedy, I think its a work that needs a profound exploration, loved the videos on Rosseau, Nietzche and Girard tho.

People today understand little of love really is. Perhaps the depths of a true love can only be fully realized within marriage.

The algorithm knows that my mental health improves and I watch less KZbin after I watch a Bi video so it tries to hide them. You would think if I search Jonathan Bi his most recent video would be a relevant result, no?

Romances could last forever. Since these are selfish, all of ypur energy goes to keep it, so ypu can actually be in a romance forever. But is always selfish and limited. LImited to one person, or to one family or to a profession ( musician, writer), so you will never have the energy to love.

Love has a wrong definiton. Love is never about YOUR partner, or YOUR child, or YOUR family or YOUR country. If it is about YOU, it is selfishness. Love is about acceptance of the others, about seeing that everybody is right, taht everyybody is perfect, that everybody is beautiful,. What your have with your country, your child or your boyfriend/girlfriend is just romance, never love. Irinef you think you have to protect yOUR family, YPUR country ainst others, is not love. If ypu clean YoUR house, and put rubbish, or chlorine out so that will affect OTHERS but YPURS, ypur acts are not loving, are selfish. Love is about thinking about everybody's wellbeing, not only YOUR family/country/children/, etc., again that is selfish. Love is the opposite of sefishness.

the only reason a man stays with his woman for a long time is because the women is the mother of his children... its not love....
