1
Well, good afternoon.
2
It is a, another cold day here in the great state of Michigan.
3
I'm not sure why people say that.
4
I'm not sure if one state is any better than the other.
5
Michigan just seems to be colder than most.
6
one thing for sure it is very difficult to clench a pipe that is a church warden in your teeth
7
it almost pulls your teeth out I am smoking my estate church warden there's no name on this I bought this pipe
8
probably 12 to 15 years ago.
9
Maybe a little bit longer than that.
10
No, it would be longer.
11
I had this back in 2004.
12
So this is almost 20 years old.
13
And it was old then.
14
It's been a great smoker.
15
I love church warden pipes.
16
mainly because they remind me of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
17
It's much smaller than my other one that I had picked up.
18
This one was from a guy in Romania and you can kind of see the size difference here.
19
This definitely is much more of one of those long Hobbit pipes.
20
I mean you can't hardly get the whole thing in the frame.
21
This is very cool smoking.
22
As the smoke comes up it's very cool.
23
But this one itself is cool.
Nhưng bản thân cái này thì rất ngầu.
24
I am smoking some
Tôi đang hút thuốc đây.
25
One Kool -Aid in it, trying to aromatize my books.
Có một gói Kool-Aid trong đó, tôi đang thử dùng nó để tạo mùi thơm cho những cuốn sách của mình.
26
Years ago when I was in college, I had a guy that lit me some books.
Nhiều năm trước, khi tôi còn đi học đại học, có một người đàn ông đã đốt một số cuốn sách của tôi.
27
and when I picked the books up you could smell the vanilla pipe tobacco in them
và khi tôi nhấc những cuốn sách lên, bạn có thể ngửi thấy mùi thuốc lào ống vanila trong đó.
28
and I thought I want to have a library someday that where all the books smell like vanilla or cherry pipe tobacco.
và tôi từng nghĩ rằng một ngày nào đó tôi sẽ có một thư viện nơi tất cả những cuốn sách đều có mùi vani hoặc mùi thuốc lào ống anh đào.
29
I think most of mine is more vanilla and I have a couple aromatics that are cherry flavor.
Tôi nghĩ hầu hết những loại của tôi đều là hương vani, và tôi có một vài loại có hương thơm vị anh đào.
30
I don't get around to smoking them as much, but yeah, I'm drinking out of my Orvis cup,
Tôi không có nhiều thời gian để hút chúng thường xuyên nữa, nhưng vâng, tôi đang uống nước từ chiếc cốc Orvis của mình.
31
some hot cider, kind of relaxing downstairs.
một ít rượu táo nóng, khá là thư giãn ở tầng dưới.
32
As I said, it's a very cold day here this weekend.
Như tôi đã nói, cuối tuần này ở đây trời rất lạnh.
33
I think it's been cold all over the United States.
Tôi nghĩ là thời tiết đã lạnh trên khắp nước Mỹ.
34
This weekend, we had one of of those
Cuối tuần này, chúng tôi đã có một trong những khoảnh khắc như thế.
35
Arctic blasts that came down.
Những đợt không khí lạnh từ Bắc Cực tràn xuống.
36
So we didn't get as much snow, maybe six inches, which is not too bad for us.
Vì vậy chúng tôi không có nhiều tuyết lắm, có lẽ chỉ khoảng sáu inch, một con số không quá lớn đối với chúng tôi.
37
But we did get the cold.
Nhưng chúng tôi đã bị cảm lạnh rồi.
38
It was on Saturday when I got up.
Tôi thức dậy vào thứ Bảy.
39
It was minus 23, minus 8 on Sunday.
Nhiệt độ là âm 23 độ, còn vào Chủ Nhật thì âm 8 độ.
40
And I think today is Monday.
Và tôi nghĩ hôm nay là thứ Hai.
41
Yes, today is Monday.
Vâng, hôm nay là thứ Hai.
42
It was 7 when I got up.
Tôi thức dậy lúc 7 giờ.
43
So we're moving in the right direction.
Vậy là chúng ta đang đi đúng hướng.
44
Highs today are, I think, around 20.
45
Maybe it's more in the teens.
46
It got up to about 20 this weekend.
47
But I think by the end of the week, we're supposed to maybe get back in the mid -30s.
48
I'll be glad whenever winter is over.
49
The sad thing about it is that even though it's the 26th of January,
50
we're only 22 weeks away from fall.
51
Just a depressing thought if you think about it.
52
You're just 22 weeks.
53
That's all it is.
54
22 weekends and we will be in September.
55
Winter will be over.
56
Spring will be gone and summer will be over.
57
It's just amazing how fast time flies.
58
I've always liked the same years, months, and weeks are long, but years are quick.
59
And that is so true.
60
Last year, in August, I think I mentioned I went down for my 40th high school reunion.
61
And you think about it, it's like an entire life has gone by.
62
I've raised two kids.
63
I've had two grandkids in that particular period of time.
64
I mean, a lot has transpired.
65
But in reality, that was only the celebration of 40 Christmases, 40 Thanksgivings.
66
And 40 of something doesn't really seem like that much
67
but it's just it's odd how time how we experience time
68
you look back it seems quick you look forward it seems like it'll never end
69
or never arrive and as a kid you wait for Christmas
70
or wait for a birthday
71
or for summer for school to be out in summer to be here
72
and it seemed like it just it never was there
73
but then when you're enjoying yourself it seems as though it goes by in an instant so it it's all about perspective.
74
You just kind of chug through day by day and then you look back and you think, man, where did 40 years go?
75
So it's interesting things to think about.
76
I have since it's winter, it's always a good time to put my pipe back up here.
77
It's always a good time to stay inside and read.
78
Summer, I seem to have a lot of things outside to go, to do, to go and do.
79
But I'm, as I mentioned last time, I set my reading schedule.
80
And that reading schedule this year is going to include a particular study.
81
I am reading, rereading Mere Christianity.
82
This is by C .S.
83
Lewis.
84
And Lewis died mid -20th century.
85
He, I think it was right before I was born, he passed away.
86
It is a seminal work.
87
People quote it.
88
It really is a study on the moral law, the whole concept of morality.
89
Where do we get the basis for saying that something is right and wrong?
90
How can we even determine right from wrong?
91
And he uses that as an argument.
92
I've listened to the book a few times on audio.
93
I've read it a couple times and I remember reading it whenever I was about 19.
94
I first started college.
95
I was at Northeast State.
96
It's a junior college at the time
97
and one of the professors that I was friends with gave it to him and said, read this book.
98
So I did, but I've read it since then, and I'm rereading it as the beginning of reading a lot of Lewis's books again.
99
Some I haven't read, Abolition of Man.
100
I've owned it, but I've never actually read it.
101
It is one of his more dense books.
102
People describe it as being much more philosophical than mere Christianity.
103
Mere Christianity was a series of lectures that he gave, and it's very relatable, very easy to read.
104
He kind of, as one person said, brings the cookies off the shelf, makes it very easy for people to understand.
105
Abolition of Man is a little bit more difficult, but if you get through it, if you understand the concept of it,
106
which really he's in, Abolition of Man, it's kind of really in the idea of do do things have value?
107
Is value something that is intrinsic?
108
It is something that is that is real?
109
Or is it something that we merely ascribe?
110
If I look at a sunset and I say that's a beautiful sunset, can I say that it actually is a beautiful sunset?
111
Or is it just my opinion that makes it a beautiful sunset?
112
The sunset that itself is neither good nor bad.
113
It's just a reality.
114
What is value comes from, whether it's beautiful or not beautiful, is myself.
115
And Lewis would say that there is inherent value in things himself.
116
There is, I think we could translate that into absolute truth.
117
In philosophy, they would describe that as the difference between foundationalism and non -foundationalism.
118
And this relates to the study of knowledge or epistemology.
119
Non -foundationalism says there really is no absolute truth.
120
Foundationalism says there are absolute truths.
121
I wish I had a bigger bowl.
122
My hands were cold.
123
But it's nice holding the warm bowl there.
124
But in foundation, they would say, yes, there are absolutes.
125
And it doesn't matter who you are, when you live.
126
There are always absolute truths.
127
One example of foundationalism, I think, would be in mathematics.
128
While it may be, I would say, in some ways fashionable or correct.
129
And it's not, I don't think, very widespread for people to say, well, well, 2 plus 2 does not always equal 4.
130
1 plus 1 does not always equal 2.
131
Well, I think it always does.
132
It is a universal truth that if you have one apple, you add another apple to it, you've got two apples.
133
It's common sense.
134
When I was in school, I took a class on advanced mathematics, and we actually spent a whole day,
135
one period, one class time, just proving that.
136
And in fact, you can prove it.
137
It takes like a whole page to prove one plus one does equal two.
138
It's just a logical truth.
139
Now, where things get kind of dicey in people saying we believe in non -foundational truth, that there really is no truth,
140
usually comes in more in the area of ethics.
141
Well, that relates to kind of what, you know, if you have foundational truth, there really is absolute truth.
142
you can build upon it as I think
143
Lewis does in Mere Christianity where he's going to be talking about the law of morality or the moral law.
144
How do we know what is right and what is wrong?
145
So there is a moral law that all people possess and we can agree on that for the most part.
146
There may be some some differences.
147
There may be individuals that are outliers.
148
There may be some cultures, very very few cultures, that are outliers.
149
But you can't take the outlier, the extreme case and say that proves the norm.
150
So it's interesting looking at those two books, how Lewis is kind of building a foundation in a sense in the abolition of man,
151
and then he's going up to the idea of the moral law, which he uses all throughout mere Christianity.
152
So those are at least two books I'm reading.
153
I'm also going to read a couple more of his, but But I have another one that I'm starting to read,
154
and this one is called Beyond the Wager.
155
Not a long read.
156
It's maybe almost 200 pages, I think, or maybe 150.
157
What is this?
158
It's actually 200 pages exactly.
159
Beyond the Wager, and this is kind of the life of Blaise Pascal.
160
Now, Pascal was a scientist, but he was also a Christian,
161
and he made the wager of, well, you can live as though Christianity is not true,
162
but is it worth the wager?
163
You're wagering eternal life with whether you actually know for sure that God does not exist.
164
Now, Doug Routice is the one who wrote this book, and he says sometimes we have misunderstood what this wager actually is.
165
Is that what Blaise Pascal is saying?
166
Is he just simply saying it's better to live your life with Christian ideals and be wrong in the end,
167
rather than not do it, and be right in the end, or rather than not do it and be wrong in the end.
168
So he goes a little bit more in detail.
169
I've read through about a third of it so far.
170
And the beginning part, he just kind of gives a history of who Pascal was, his early life, his thought.
171
Sickly man.
172
He was a person who struggled with his health.
173
but a very interesting thinker scientifically even philosophically and theologically so this is one I would definitely recommend late
174
Beyond the Wager by Douglas Gruthyce he's written a lot of other books he wrote a huge book
175
that is actually right here on my shelf that's about 1600 pages, more of a defense of Christianity.
176
So looking at issues such as kind of what C .S.
177
Lewis, we're basing a lot of this on C .S.
178
Lewis, related to argument for the moral law,
179
historicity of the resurrection, just some of the philosophical foundations of Christianity.
180
So it's a very, very thinking book.
181
One of the things I like about the church world is I can actually just point to it right there.
182
So it's nice to have that pointer.
183
yeah, I'm looking forward to getting through some of these books.
184
One, again, Abolition Man for the first time.
185
He does have another
186
The Weight of Glory and Screwtape Letters.
187
Those are not ones I'm going to read at this particular point,
188
but I do want to go back and read what I hear people call the Narniad, which is the Chronicles Narnia.
189
Lewis wrote that.
190
It was written as a children's book, but it actually has an underlying theme within that, a spiritual theme.
191
And then there's a medieval theme that goes beyond that.
192
Dr. Michael Ward, who is over at Oxford University,
193
he wrote a book in 2008 that was called Planet Narnia.
194
And he said if you look at the underlying, underlying organization of those seven books that make up the Chronicles of Narnia,
195
they relate to the seven planets.
196
Well, not all planets.
197
One is the sun.
198
But it relates to the cosmology of the medieval period, medieval philosophy.
199
And it makes sense because Lewis, as well as Tolkien, who wrote
200
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, they were both medievalist.
201
Modern movement had already been coming along back in the 1670s,
202
even 1800s with the whole modernism and the Enlightenment.
203
But they both claim we still think kind of as medievalist.
204
And that's a different perspective, even though they taught at Oxford and Cambridge.
205
They both appreciated the literature of the medieval period.
206
And they use it kind of pulling that forward.
207
I think Lewis probably more than Tolkien.
208
Tolkien's was an amazing story.
209
I do like
210
The Lord of the Rings.
211
If you've seen the movies, you know a little bit about it.
212
But if you've read the books, you'll know that the books have a much different take on the actual story.
213
And it makes sense to me.
214
I mean, you are making a book you can't go through everything in a movie.
215
I mean, you're making a movie, so you can't do everything in the book, in the movie, or it could be a 30 -hour movie.
216
Although I would not be against that.
217
I have been shocked.
218
We were at the 25th anniversary release of the Lord of the Rings movies.
219
And I think within the first five years, they came out, 10 years, they came out with the extended versions.
220
I really thought for the 20th anniversary, they would have come out with the extended, extended versions.
221
You know, extended versions, I mean, they're already three to three and a half hours long. But I could watch
222
The Lord of the Rings for four to five hours.
223
So if they had extra stuff, I would love to do that.
224
It'd be great if he could have put in the Tom Bombadil stuff.
225
That would be, I would love that.
226
But I have heard that there was talk, and this just maybe talk
227
that for the 30th anniversary he is going to release a extended extended version now i don't know how much
228
that will be or even if that's true we'll we'll see
229
when that comes out but um i'm i am reading uh i'm going to be reading the chronicles nardia again
230
and i love the way tolkien uses words i mean even though it's a children's story um
231
I don't know of an adult who couldn't get something out of it.
232
It's just, it's fun reading.
233
It's not like reading children's literature today.
234
Some children's literature you pick up, and it's like, this sounds like it was written for an eight -year -old.
235
Whereas for Tolkien, he kind of spans the ages.
236
When my kids were growing up, there was a cartoon series called the Animaniacs.
237
I don't know if you remember that.
238
The Animaniacs, there was a, it's about four cartoon, three or four cartoon characters, and there was another, seemed like it was associated with it.
239
I think it was part of it, and it had Pinky and the Brain, or Inky and the Brain.
240
And my kids would watch Animaniacs, and even Pinky and the Brain, I think it was.
241
I would watch it with them, because I didn't have anything else to do.
242
but I noticed that the humor was actually geared toward adults.
243
Not in a bad way, but it just had subtle hints there that it would keep your attention.
244
It was like, my goodness, what he just said completely went over my kid's head.
245
But that hit me.
246
And you could tell the people that wrote it were pretty good at their job.
247
But the Chronicles of Narnia read very much like that.
248
I think adult could enjoy them. And I'm also reading
249
The Lord of the Rings again.
250
trying to look at the what is called literary apologetics
251
and a lot of people take George MacDonald who was kind of the an influencer in Lewis
252
and in Tolkien or on Lewis and talking
253
but they will look at Lewis's fiction such as his the trilogy the Ransom trilogy and and Carol Landria,
254
I believe it is called, and the Lord of the Rings.
255
And they'll say these are literary.
256
It's apologetics in a literary format.
257
So looking forward to going back to them.
258
I'm through the first book.
259
So I'm about at the Two Towers.
260
And completing that one, I'm hoping, by the end of February.
261
At least I hope so, because I have other readings that I'm going to need to be starting.
262
I have some Augustine.
263
I want to read some of his stuff.
264
Trying to put in a yearly reading schedule here.
265
But yeah, if you've ever read C .S.
266
Lewis, Mere Christianity, or Abolition of Man, or you know much about Pascal or Beyond the Wager,
267
Love to hear your comments on those particular books.
268
But we can share some stuff as I jump into, especially the abolition of man.
269
I like the way he starts out by kind of critiquing a school book at his time,
270
the Green School Book, and where they take two individuals where they actually look at a, say here's two opinions on something.
271
They say it doesn't really matter what their opinions are on the beauty of something it's just all subjective and then
272
Lewis kind of takes that apart.
273
I know that can be a pretty divisive thing.
274
Now, people in art, if you're an art critic you would say that yes there are absolutes,
275
but if you're another person you say well I can go to a museum
276
and I like certain things and I don't like certain things.
277
I believe what
278
Lewis would be referring to are things that we could all agree on.
279
Of course, then again some may find that to be problematic.
280
Do we all agree on on the beauty of a sunset, the beauty of a sunrise,
281
a mountainscape, or a weather kind of landscape that you you can see.
282
So it's always interesting discussion and if you can read those kind of things you can smoke a pipe,
283
you can drink some coffee, some Irish cream liqueur, hard cider,
284
or hot apple cider, or maybe even some whiskey, which is great to dialogue and to interact with some of these people.
285
Of course, I love dialoguing with actual people.
286
That's kind of fun, too.
287
It's rare today that we can do that.
288
I know I've mentioned that a couple times.
289
It just seems as though we have lost the ability to have a conversation with each other.
290
I've had conversations with people who are staunch atheists, people who are in a variety of other religious movements.
291
And I love hearing what they have to say.
292
I love dialoguing with people and just saying,
293
hey, let's you know we always agree to disagree um on some of these philosophical issues but um
294
i think it's always good to push our own beliefs um
295
because when you dialogue with someone who disagrees with you
296
if you can do that in a way where there is dialogue
297
and it's not someone just shouting at you don't get that i don't like people just shouting at me and
298
it seems a lot of people today shout and it's almost as though if I if I say it loud enough
299
I can speak truth I think what people are doing
300
I think a lot of people have the emotional level of a 12 year old and they shout
301
their thoughts at other people and it may be more that they're trying to convince themselves that at the right,
302
but it usually is done in such a such a disrespectful and almost nonsensical way.
303
I don't see really what you're going to gain out of this.
304
I don't see how you're going to learn or even communicate by the way that you're conducting yourself.
305
But that's an entirely different subject as to where we are in the 21st century
306
and how people act in the 21st century.
307
A lot of this is just the culture in
308
which we live in and the culture that has kind of evolved over the last 20 or 30 years.
309
I don't find a lot of reason in some of the things that people say.
310
I believe it, and you can ask, why do you believe it?
311
I just believe it because I believe it.
312
And I thought, well, that's a circular argument.
313
If I say I believe certain things about my worldview, I should be able to back those things up.
314
And I'm teaching a course right now on world religions.
315
I know there's a big disagreement whether you smoke the dawdle or not, but I'm going to.
316
just a little bit more.
317
I'm teaching a class on world religions, and it's been interesting and challenging the people in the class because we kind of present,
318
here's what this particular religious ideology proposes.
319
And when we're done, I would say, okay, show me if I am going to hold this position where I'm wrong.
320
And I kind of play the devil's advocate, and I will play an advocate for that particular position.
321
And it's fun, the dialogue that we have.
322
But I found in society that you can ask people, can you argue the position that you're against?
323
So if you believe in abortion, can you argue against abortion?
324
If you believe in pro -life, can you argue the other side?
325
Most people cannot do that.
326
They cannot take themselves objectively outside of their position and say,
327
let me put myself in the other person's position and be able to argue against that.
328
And I think we need to do that.
329
Because if I cannot take the opposite of what I believe and argue against my position, I don't really know if my position is correct then.
330
Can it stand up to scrutiny?
331
and I need to be able to reason through that.
332
One, not only does that allow me to reinforce what I believe and say, okay, I know why I believe what I believe,
333
but it helps you not look like a fool when you get out and someone asks you a question and it's like, I don't know.
334
I think we need to have at least some understanding of why we believe what we believe.
335
So anyways, this video has gone on way too long.
336
We're at almost 30 minutes here.
337
So you have a blessed day.
338
I hope that you're staying warm.
339
I know this cold front has gone all the way down to Texas, and there's a lot of people that are hurting.
340
I just heard that in Nashville this weekend, they were without power.
341
And I have a lot of people I know that are just below that in North Alabama.
342
They didn't get that much.
343
It didn't seem like it disrupted things but you know quarter inch of ice
344
that means power's out that that can hurt people i don't i don't want
345
that to happen um minus 23 was bad enough here
346
but um at least we continue to have power

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Câu điều kiện if + mệnh đề, will/would + động từ — điều kiện và kết quả | if you've read the books, you'll know · if they had extra stuff, I would love · if that's true we'll we |

| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | was born · is called · was written |

Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 92 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, don't, I've. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “th”: mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, ethics /ˈɛθ.ɪks/, atheist /ˈeɪ.θi.ɪst/, thinker /ˈθɪŋ.kɚ/
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: abolition /ˌæb.əˈlɪʃ.ən/, shout /ʃaʊt/, abortion /əˈbɔɹ.ʃn̩/, shelf /ʃɛlf/, shock /ʃɔk/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: abolition /ˌæb.əˈlɪʃ.ən/, literary /ˈlɪt.(ə.)ɹə.ɹi/, philosophical /ˌfɪl.əˈsɑ.fɪ.kl̩/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, morality /məˈɹælɪti/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: extend /ɛkˈstɛnd/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, shelf /ʃɛlf/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/, instant /ˈɪnstənt/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: wage /weɪd͡ʒ/, cherry /ˈt͡ʃɛɹi/, trilogy /ˈtɹɪləd͡ʒi/, spiritual /ˈspɪɹɪt͡ʃuəl/, lecture /ˈlɛk.t͡ʃə/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: abolition /ˌæb.əˈlɪʃ.ən/, advocate /ˈæd.və.kət/, tobacco /təˈbækoʊ/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, morality /məˈɹælɪti/
Cách luyện với video này

- Nói đuổi từng câu ở tốc độ bình thường, lặp lại mỗi câu đến khi nhịp của bạn khớp với người nói.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như pipe, wage, abolition.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
