3 rebellious creators tell us the meaning of life | Dispatches from The Well Ep.6

[@The-Well]

💡Of the three guests in this episode, whose perspective resonated with you the most? 💡

[@solhm7845]

None, in the show, there are 3 white men from the country that creates the largest ecological and economical devastation in the world. Yes, their stories are great, I’ll try to remember to be born into wealth next time. Bullshit! Another show about privileged people “leading”.

[@emotionsin5d]

Yours 🤩🤩🤩

[@aaronjennings8385]

They all have relevance.

Godfrey Reggio's

Reggio

[@shiraz.janjua]

I appreciate how Kmele takes seriously every person he interviews. He meets them where they are, and is completely fascinated by them on their terms. That's a lovely quality for an interviewer and creator to have. And as someone who is near (slightly older) to Kmele's age: Kmele, it doesn't sound like you're having a mid-life crisis, though that's the kind of thing we feel we're expected to say, because in our society it's considered quaint to be so earnest. But it's not quaint to me. You're just living and trying to be thoughtful. I love where Godfrey Reggio lands on this: it's what you do that matters. And you're doing this, and this is spectacular.

[@BethBarany]

yes! “begin and the work will show you how!”

[@pearlhartney9]

Godfrey Reggio such a wise man. I love that he said you just have to start doing it and the meaning will find you. I really enjoyed this! Have never seen your channel before but so glad I came accross it. It's a mid-life evaluation not crises! You are leaving your youth behind and facing into older years and it's normal to re-evaluate! And all you can do is accept it.

[@The-Well]

Welcome to The Well! We’re so glad you found us!

[@MicahScottPnD]

To have seen _any_ of these people in an episode would have been amazing to me. All three of them in one episode? Baffling!! I'm beside myself, wwoww.

[@petersenjessem]

This felt like a much needed bedtime story, but for the 42 year-old version of my child self. Thank you ❤

[@The-Well]

This is such a touching comment, wow. Thank you for spending time with us.

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

"when people start to worry what their audience will like it weakens their own project"....god knows there's a lot of clickbait copycat youtubers that need to hear that one. All three are fantastic interviews well worth the time.

[@mysbhyv1707]

Like an exquisite cup of coffee, I downloaded the video so I can savor each word, each thought slowly with a pause before playing it again and learning something new. Thank You❣

[@The-Well]

Wow! Thank you! Please accept this award for having the most poetic comment on this KZbin video 🏆

[@JoeHertler]

My dude here is asking great questions. Fantastic interviewer. Thoughtful, respectful, and challenging.

[@BethBarany]

Kmele! You’re awesome. Thanks for sharing your heart. ❤

[@jmparries]

This is a precious piece of recording. Thank you!

[@The-Well]

Thanks for watching!

[@kmmk292929]

Great guest choices, I love Steve Albini and his impact on music, and a big fan of Shellac and Big Black, so was very excited to hear from him. I loved what he said about how music is best when it's authentic, and there's nothing getting in the way or inhibiting from what they have to do to express themselves. It's so true, I could care less if the artist is super perfect sounding, perfect pitch, perfect timing, etc. I care more about their personality being manifested through sound. I had never heard of that director Godfrey before, but loved his input as well about how "what you do in life, is who you are" type of stuff. He resonated with me the most as an artist and creative, and Fred Armisen is so creative and such an interesting guy, loved what he said about not caring so much about the why in life and instead just focus on living. That's a nice peaceful route to go in life.

[@BunnyDarko]

Godfrey Reggio is a national treasure 💌

[@The-Well]

We absolutely agree!

[@markloessi5799]

Stunning work! Thank you The Well, Kmele and team.

[@The-Well]

Many thanks, Mark!

[@wunderluke6759]

this might be the most important video i've ever seen. thank you for your work and pulling all of this out of the abyss

[@rubberbiscuit99]

Being true to yourself and not telling people what they want to hear can get you in big trouble in many circles, but as it turns out, I do not want to be in those circles.

[@matmosmac]

I actually have to pause the video to make sure I can absorb and appreciate some of the things said here. Just fantastic. Thank you. 🙏 PS: I'm not talking about "... within the doors of the doorknob..." 🤣

[@PneumaticTube]

What a trio of creators to talk to. Well done, Kmele. Nicely shot and edited, also.

[@georgespiese7388]

Being able to create a personal environment is so important for the different. Sheeshh!

[@ClintTzu]

“A coffee-shaped coffin”. That’s all we all need to get through life

[@Lovereignsupreme]

Thank you for the insight and inspiration. Awesome choice of people.

[@The-Well]

Love the phrase “humanity affirming.” Thanks for spending time with us!

[@thephilgud]

Wow, one of the best things I've seen in a while. Thanks !!!

[@The-Well]

That’s such a huge compliment! Thanks for spending time with us!

[@thephilgud]

It brought tears to my eyes. It is rare to find such fine mix of science, art and 'spirituality'. Now savouring the episodes I have missed so far. Thanks again @@The-Well

[@soulsonic]

THANK YOU! A refreshing drink well needed.

thank you for making this video

[@electric7309]

The meaning of life comes from the freedom from conditioning and old memory

[@JesseDanielSmith]

Can you elaborate?

[@electric7309]

@@JesseDanielSmith To be free from traumas, memories, as they effect you today and dictate your thoughts and feelings and therefore your actions. And to be free from reward and punishment, to not be rewarded when you're praised nor feeling punished.

[@electric7309]

And to be free you must be attentive to what's playing in you, from that attention comes understanding, from that understanding, from that understanding and insight the memories and traumas of the past start to desolve. And from freedom, love and intelligence emerges naturally and then there's a different quality to daily life

[@sunlovinsnowflake]

@@electric7309Yes. 🙏🏼✨🌊🌈🌌

[@metaphoria3]

Great interview/ interviewer riparadise dear Steve Albini

[@christophejohnson2169]

Life changing points of view. Inspiring my inner creative to begin self fulfillment. Forgive me for my lack of classical knowledge but, what piece was he playing by Stravinsky as he enters the office? I fell in love with it.

[@jasonbecker4974]

This is beautiful. Thank you.

[@The-Well]

Thank you too!

[@jedics1]

Koyaanisqatsi could not be in starker contrast to the movies of today, no dialogue filled with meaning as apposed to constant dialogue devoid of meaning....Where guns and exposions are the ultimate climax and conclusion to 95% of stories on screen. Instead of progress all I see is a regression in the liberation of the human spirit....

[@AR-mu4zq]

Yes it's real battle for our souls.

[@AshramLadnek]

incredible show!

[@The-Well]

We appreciate you! Thanks for watching!

[@Hastingsnow]

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for watching!

[@merciart3090]

Not chaos--- complexity...great quote--- def suits the creative, artist

[@CoolStoryStudio]

Incredible episode.

[@judithanderson748]

I would call the stage "individuation" more than a "midlife crisis". It's a good thing 😂

[@dunsbroccoli2588]

Reggio is probably the closest thing to Merlin on earth.

[@BethBarany]

yes “we’re all just goofing around!”

[@preeti00001]

Which Stravinsky track was reggio listening to ? Help me out here people

[@xtins]

I did not learn anything, any pothead have deeper conversations than this… shee it

[@Jake_Hanrahan]

This is cool

[@carolspencer6915]

Super beautiful. 💜

[@The-Well]

We're so glad you think so 💜 Thanks for watching!

[@jedics1]

In utero wasn't a favourite album of mine but wholy hell it was powerful, milk it really gets in.....

[@pyb.5672]

Kmele, I suggest you look up the philosophy of the pragmatist Frank Ramsey.

[@Chris-el4hd]

The lack of ability is also a superpower imho

[@kipwonder2233]

Thank you algorithm🙏

[@The-Well]

Welcome! We're glad it brought you to us!

I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WAS ABOUT "REBELLIOUS" PEOPLE...THEN, I SEE A GUY COMES IN WEARING A MASK...THE MASK...

That’s not David letterman?

[@binghamguevara6814]

5:06. Look at Godfrey's body movements here. Is he well? Does he have parkinson's?

[@SolveMathematics-L]

I think, you focus too much at the people you are interviewing and that, to my observations, makes them to withhold some details.

[@helple55]

jeez letterman really let himself go

[@donkeywhistler]

david letterman looks terrible

[@Gringohuevon]

Could you stop interviewing rich Americans and perhaps interview someone in Gaza?

[@SonofRicky]

3 rich americans...well done

[@johnjenkins5854]

Letterman directs?
