Naturally, the best at the end. The disconnection and dissasociation we're culturally experiencing as loneliness is due to the lack of knowing another.

Weather conversations keep us small-minded - fearful of treading on another's subjective belief system and unable to explore the 'who' who asks, or the 'who' who is asked.

A masterful presentation Jonny Thomson, thank you for your depth and insight.

Fantastic! I notice you don’t bring strong culture into the happiness pillars yet this seems very important for many people

Arguably, Eichmann was putting on an act as a simple bureaucrat to obtain mercy from the court.

Arendt's philosopher friend Martin Heidegger could not make that excuse.

Sadly, no mention of Phillippa Foot, one of the founders of modern virtue ethics.

My philosophy professor used to say, ‘There is no Auger’ in the most condescending, faux mysterious tone. Just that.
