1
Greetings, everyone.
2
I hope you're all doing well.
3
For those of us who love literature and great art
4
and following our intellectual curiosity and aim to live a more cultured and more intellectually fulfilling life,
5
it can be easy to feel as though the world today has lost its sense of magic.
6
The world today is disenchanted, as the great Malcolm Guy has said.
7
And we can easily think that the world that the great thinkers of the past, the world of the great literary figures of the past
8
and the great artists of the past lived in was a lot deeper, a lot more magical and a lot more conducive to produce better work
9
and a lot more conducive to be more culturally fulfilled.
10
But I actually don't think that's the case.
11
I think the issue with our contemporary age is not the world itself.
12
It's the approach we take to it.
13
It's not the world that needs to be re -enchanted.
14
It's us that needs to be re -enchanted, to quote Malcolm Gite once again.
15
And I think a nice story
16
which sums up just how differently we approach intellectual ideas
17
and approach our intellectual curiosity today compared to the great figures of the past is the one about Machiavelli
18
and how he would approach the art of reading.
19
Machiavelli once wrote that while he was in exile from Florence, he would return home from his daily work outside in the fields,
20
take off his dirty work clothes, and put on his noble court dress.
21
And in that noble court dress, he would begin to read the great works of literature
22
and enter into the courts and enter into a dialogue with the great minds of history.
23
Now think about that approach.
24
He didn't just come home and open up a book and read it as though it's just empty content,
25
as though it's just something to consume and something to find enjoyable.
26
He took a symbolic approach to it.
27
He put emphasis on this idea that he was about to read a deep idea.
28
And he found that to be so important.
29
He revered that so much that he had to go through a symbolic process before entering into that action.
30
He had to approach it with a sense of humility,
31
a sense of dignity in order to enhance that action and gain all that he could from it.
32
And that is so different to the way that many of us engage in intellectual ideas today.
33
For many of us, we will just be on social media scrolling Instagram
34
and see quotes on there from a great book and that's that.
35
But a quote distilled from a great book that we randomly scroll by, God forbid, while we're on the toilet,
36
doesn't enchant us in the same way as reading a book in noble court dress
37
and coming across a deep idea and highlighting it and then contemplating on that idea for a little while.
38
And I'm not saying that we all need to dress up in our best clothes to read.
39
You can all see that I do do that myself.
40
But that's my own symbolic approach to life.
41
That's how I get ready to enter into the courts of these great men and enchant the world around me.
42
And I'm not saying we all need to do the same thing, but I am saying we all must have symbols.
43
There needs to be a symbolic approach.
44
We live in a cynical age today which would deem any sort of symbolic approach to reading, any sort of heightened,
45
enchanted idea of reading these great works of literature as just pseudo -intellectualism or shallow or just merely aesthetic and superficially based.
46
But the reality is it's only superficial if you get dressed in those clothes and then don't read the book.
47
It's only superficial if you're getting dressed in a manner to try
48
and appear to be more intellectually intelligent and then not have any ideas behind it.
49
But if you get dressed in clothes or you use a specific pen
50
or a specific lamp or a specific candle to slow down the world around you, enchant the world around you,
51
and symbolically approach great works of literature and symbolically approach this idea of reading, that enhances the experience.
52
That is anything but shallow.
53
That is as deep as you can possibly go.
54
And I think when we look at the world today
55
and we see how great works of literature can just be rendered merely content, we devalue these works.
56
And so it's more important than ever before to find a way to enhance these works, to add value to these works,
57
and to remind us that they are important.
58
And that we won't feel culturally fulfilled,
59
we won't feel like we're living an intellectually curious life unless we find a way to attach some reverence to this process,
60
unless we remind ourselves just how important reading and literature and art and poetry truly is.
61
There needs to be more dignity brought back into the process of reading, and I might sound extremely shallow here.
62
I might sound like somebody who's advocating for some sort of superficial approach to learning
63
and cares more about the aesthetic than the actual learning process, and that is anything but.
64
I am advocating for an aesthetic, symbolic approach because it enhances your ability to learn.
65
It really does.
66
And even if you think it's some kind of pseudo trick, even if you think it's a placebo, it makes all the difference.
67
It enchants the world around you.
68
It reminds you that the world is in some sense more deep and magical than your own rational,
69
intellectual, reasonable mind can reason.
70
You know, the world today is shrunk down into mere practicality.
71
Everything is an ROI.
72
Everything has to make rational sense.
73
It's not rational to get dressed into your noble court robes before reading a book
74
when you're going to read the same words anyway if you're in your pyjamas or a t -shirt and shorts.
75
That's not rational.
76
But the idea here is that rationality will reduce and suck out all of the beauty and meaning of the world.
77
When you play the world out in just a purely rational way, you don't need beauty.
78
What's the rational ROI of beauty?
79
It might just be a waste of time.
80
When you look at a movie like
81
Dead Poets Society, the parents are annoyed
82
that their kids are caring more about artistry and beauty and culture because they deem it useless.
83
But they don't realize that beauty enchants the world and adds meaning and depth to the world.
84
And I don't think it's an accident
85
that we live in a world today where more and more people are dying deaths of despair.
86
More and more people are feeling like the world is less magical
87
when we're heading into the festive season now
88
and people talk about it's very common to talk about
89
that Christmas no longer feels like Christmas you know it felt better
90
when we were children Christmas used to be better Christmas used to have more enchantment
91
but it's not Christmas that has lost its meaning it's not Christmas time
92
that has lost its enchantment it's our approach to it
93
if you read great works of Christmas literature like A Christmas Carol If you watch the great Christmas movies,
94
you look at the great visual arts and paintings around Christmastime, that's going to re -enchant the experience and you're going to feel better for it.
95
If you spend more time slowing down and adding some symbolic processes to it, you're going to enchant the experience.
96
Aesthetic isn't useless.
97
Aesthetic is crucial when it's coupled with intellectual depth and rigor.
98
And so all in all, I just wanted to express this idea here in just a quick spitfire stream of consciousness conversation with you guys,
99
because I think it's just so important.
100
And it's my entire approach to life.
101
It's why I structure my days the way I do, why I dress the way I do,
102
and why I try and give these works the importance they deserve.
103
And it just makes me feel so much more fulfilled.
104
It just makes me feel so much more happy.
105
And this world today that is actively running from any sort of symbolic process, is actively running from anything that is beautiful,
106
is actively running from anything that might seem dramatic
107
or over the top or quote -unquote useless because we value rationality to such a heightened extent, it's stripping away the magic of our world.
108
It's stripping away the meaning of our life.
109
It's stripping away the depths of anybody who's aiming to live a cultured life.
110
Symbolism is so important.
111
You shouldn't only care about the symbolism, but you should figure out specific symbols and tools and structures
112
and ceremonial processes in your own life to approach a cultural education.
113
And it will enhance your world completely a hundred times over.
114
I think a quick example I just want to share with you guys is this pen.
115
I think, you know, it could be easy to think that you're going to write the same notes.
116
You're going to take the same notes.
117
You're going to write the same words with any pen.
118
What's the point of getting a pen that's potentially more expensive?
119
And I was gifted this.
120
It was my dream pen to have.
121
And I was gifted it a few years ago by my girlfriend and she got my name engraved on it.
122
And all of that is quote -unquote useless when you can write with a 50 -cent pen.
123
You don't need an expensive pen where you have to replace the ink almost every month.
124
But there's a symbolic nature to it.
125
And I'm not arguing for consumerism, the opposite.
126
I hope to keep this pen for the rest of my life if I can.
127
I'm arguing for a sense of symbolism to enchant the world around you, to ground you, to slow you down,
128
and to approach work with a sense of reverence.
129
I think work is just seen as just content and something to do.
130
Reading is seen as just something to consume.
131
We don't put as much of a magical focus on it when in reality, philosophy, art, literature has helped birth nations,
132
has helped destroy nations, has caused wars, has caused big movements, the rise of despots, kings, presidents, whatever.
133
It is so important.
134
It is so much more than content.
135
The world is so much deeper when you can find symbolic processes.
136
And something like this pen allows me to feel when I am writing that I'm writing better work.
137
That may be a pseudo -intellectual trick.
138
It may be some kind of placebo.
139
But I don't think so.
140
Because when I go to write with this pen, it's a reminder to take it serious this pen cost a bit of money
141
there's a process in this pen
142
I have to drive into the city to replace the ink at a specific store and
143
when I go to write with it it reminds me don't waste
144
this ink ink is important ink can shape the world ink can shape the way
145
you think ink will shape these videos that I put out
146
which hopefully people find value in and people find depth
147
and meaning in
148
and helps them in some way this pen I like to think is a challenge to me
149
and a reminder of responsibility to take work seriously, to take ideas seriously because ideas have consequences.
150
Take my cultural education seriously because it enhances the life around you.
151
This pen reminds me of that.
152
So I don't think it's a placebo trick.
153
I think there's a importance in symbolism.
154
There's a reverence you must take to your life, to your work to enchant the world around you and remind yourself
155
that we live in just as deep a world as the great minds of history before did.
156
And when we think of the world today, we have access to the world's greatest library ever built with the internet.
157
We can access any great work of literature ever, all the great philosophers, all the great artists, all the great ideas.
158
We have access to these ideas more than all the great minds in history did.
159
The world itself is ripe for us to live a more culturally fulfilling life than we ever have before
160
it is ready for that but it's our approach that ruins
161
that it's our approach which strips that away and
162
so i hope you guys found some value in this spiel stream of consciousness conversation
163
i wanted to have with you i sometimes get nervous
164
when i speak just like this without really writing too many notes
165
that it won't be as coherent
166
or there won't be as much value to take from it and that I'll play it back in the edit and think,
167
oh my goodness, I'm not really saying anything deep at all.
168
But in the moment, it feels like I am saying something.
169
I really enjoy this idea of approaching life with a sense of reverence.
170
And in everything I do, I try to take it seriously because it deserves that.
171
But I think importantly, just on a final note, it's also about taking it seriously so that it's fun.
172
When I put on this suit, it's not a chore for me.
173
It's this excitement of, oh my goodness, I'm going to enter into this work that I love so much.
174
I'm so blessed to get to sit here and talk about these ideas
175
and read books and talk about books and talk about philosophy
176
That's such a blessing that
177
when I put on this suit in this symbolic process I find a sense of duty and meaning in that
178
And if that's not for you, putting on a suit, it's something else
179
It's a candle, it's a lamp, it's a specific seat, it's a specific desk, it's a specific time of day
180
Whatever it is, you need to find some kind of symbolic approach
181
So that being said, symbolism will make it more serious while also making it more exciting and more fun.
182
It should always be fun.
183
It shouldn't just be doom and gloom.
184
It shouldn't just be hyper seriousness.
185
While I'm not a fan of the quote, it's not that deep.
186
I am a fan of the quote that whatever you're doing, have fun while doing it because this is fun.
187
Follow your pursuits, follow your passions, follow your hobbies, and let's re -enchant the world.
188
Let's re -enchant our own world.
189
Of course, we can't do it for all of society, but we can make small choices in our life to re -enchant our own life.
190
That being said, hope you guys enjoyed this video.
191
As always, I'm wishing you all the best, and until next time, take care.
