The Writer's Mind with Tyler Mowery
США
Добавлен 21 янв 2021
The Writer's Mind Podcast is about thinking, philosophy, writing, and storytelling all within the context of being an intelligent, thinking person who is constantly forming their own opinions and points of view.
The Goal of the Podcast is to give writers a deeper look at writing. Writing is not about 3 Act Structure and 12-point script plots like you learn about in film school. Writing is about thinking. It is about building your point of view. It is about expressing your view of the world to others. And it is ultimately about how life should be lived.

In my experience, astrology reflects the balance between internal and external conflicts: sidereal astrology highlights internal struggles, while tropical astrology focuses on external ones.
<3 I did some research on astrology too, but I still think it should not be taken too seriously. Astrology is Art. The circle of creativity: Art / Design / Engineering / Science. <3 I've got ♂ in ♏ and you might have ♂ in ♍. 8-) <3

Wonder why he has never written anything of substance himself and is just blabbing.
I like these new vids Tyler's been doing. Find myself connecting w/ them more & more recently.
Great podcast. Thank you!
A friend in NYC made my astrology chart in the 1970s. I framed it for the apartment but it seems to have been lost. If I can find it somewhere, I'll post it on my own YT Community page. I am Cancer (born July 10) and the friend said I had "Venus in Virgo".
Such an interesting and fun conversation to have! I never really believed in astrology until you gave me this detailed explanation. So articulated and engaging. Keep up Tyler 🫡
Here’s an explanation from Minute Physics that explains why you don’t see the eclipse every new moon. It’s a good question but the short answer is that the moon’s orbit is tilted. ruclips.net/video/vIZyuXl-91U/видео.htmlsi=3lDymEWeTK_QPWml
this still doesn't answer the question. Just because the moon's orbit is tilted doesn't mean it would totally disappear every single month rather than blocking the sun's light if it's moving in front of the sun
What you’re describing is Astro-Theology. If you haven’t already… look up Santos Bonacci
That’s such an amazing explanation, sir. So many religious people for some reason think it’s evil to look at astrology but then of course they’re gonna say the sun and moon have an influence over us so this is a good way to approach it. Just found your channel and subbed keep up the good work! Also, thank you so much for explaining what Raju means I had no idea. This is absolutely stellar Work. Please give us more, lol. I wish the video would’ve been longer.
glad that the podcast is returning for a second season!

Those are really maxims, not rules. There's a lot of confusion arising from people bringing different understandings of "rule" into the discussion, and then talking across one another. For my part, though, I found many of the discussions of these maxims of storytelling to be problematic precisely because they are couched in terms that flatly ignore the philosophical content of the story, like it doesn't matter what you have to say; only how much money you'll make. 🤮 In reality, some maxims of storytelling will fit in well with the philosophical theme of your story, while others won't. The ones that do should be followed. The ones that don't can be safely ignored. Don't change your message just to tick another box on the storytelling maxims checklist.
Bruh.. mind blown open. Thank you.
God bless you
I’ve just stumbled upon your podcast and this episode quenched a longing within. A yearning for the sacredness of thoughts I wholly own. Individual thought takes effort and time, as you have expressed. Sometimes I find myself overly swayed by my peers, then I have to “reset” my mind to return to myself. I find it helps to have a varied social group, diverse sources of information, and plenty of time truly alone- away from phones and computers. Much love to my dear journals. I couldn’t survive without them. Well done on the podcast. May we all strive to hone our individual strengths and thoughts.
You are wise beyond your years. Great.
Really inspiring! So seldom spoken of in other writing pods. This is to the core.
5:45 Yeah this is what films are very good at
I could not agree with you more, Tyler. Growing up watching the Andy Griffith show, with Ron Howard as Opie ,is a great example of this. A master class in critical thinking and how to live life in a positive way. Always a moral example, I think I learned more about how to live a responsible life by watching that. Between that and the Addams family, I think I got out very well rounded education! Yes, stories have always been around and passed down, mainly because the storytellers wanted us to learn some thing and if we can do it in a fun way, well that makes the lesson easier. Thank you so much for your insights. You are so smart for your age. :)
❤❤❤❤ Wonderful Work Sir
This is a live coach of writing :)

I'm Sooo Struggling Grrr.
Super interesting, thanks
So it sounds like, in the video, you’re using “reason” and “meaning” interchangeably? It could very well be my misunderstanding of the material, but I thought we MADE meaning (think his stance on art, love, hobbies…) in a world that lacked reason? So it’s not that life has no meaning, it’s that the universe has no reason, therefore we must stop seeking the reason and making our own meaning, but to also be wary of “suicide”
Why havent you posted in so long ?
In my opinion, I believe that entertainment for entertainment sake is all well and good, but those are not things that will be picked up again and again, if there is no “depth” to a piece of entertainment, then it was fun while it lasted, but there’s no reason to review it, (unless it has become a subject of Mere-exposure effect), but something with depth and analysis of a question, is something that when viewed time and time again gets you to think about the subject in different ways depending on where you’re headspace is. Now building these questions into a story is best done by being subtext, not by preaching.most don’t likes to be preached to most don’t look to entertainment to be lectured, even on subjects you agree with. I believe a genre that does this well is science fiction, because it uses the crazy out of this world situations to pose a question or hold a mirror to a part of human existence and place in the world without being like “hey look at this, and you should think this way” (but much like any type of entertainment this has to be done correctly)
Great video, but I disagree on a couple of points. I don't think stories should be "beneficial", in the way that they "have a message", as this can trap the writer to conventional morality and ruin a good story. For example, you have the classic the scenario of the violent and vengeful hero attempting to kill his enemy, and yet the vast majority of these stories end with "To be better than you, I won't kill you", or "the best revenge is a good life"... any nonsense that will allow the writer to avoid actually having their hero become a murderer because they the writer believe murder is wrong, while the character themselves would've probably just killed him. Forcing your own morality inside an entirely different context, with a vastly different world and a character with vastly different lived experienced from you, creates a stilted, fake, and wholly unsatisfying conclusion. This has happened before in history, where the meta shifted so that all stories had to have "good, Christian, and moral message", and anything less was worthless garbage. As such, stories become obliged to have a message, where it becomes very unnatural to have one. You yourself mention how authors can become stuck in certain conflicts. That is a symptom of presupposing that *constructing* a philosophical conflict is necessary at all. I am not arguing that philosophical conflict is not necessary, nor that it is not beneficial to the story, but rather the *mindset* of having to figure out a "philosophical conflict" manufactures poor philosophical conflict. In fact, I would argue that all story naturally contains such conflict, and the task of the writer is to become aware of it, and let the different ideologies at play naturally rise from subtext to text during the second arc.
Hello my friend, I learn a lot from you and I want to suggest that you read the stories found in the Qur’an because it contains the most powerful way of telling a story, and we believe in it as Muslims that it is from God, and whether you believe in something or not, but you should read the story of Joseph from the Qur’an and you will be inspired by the way it is told. The story of the Prophet Joseph

Thank you for this Tyler.
Bro, you need to work on your reading comprehension. This is one example "consumerism you have an idea of what that means"...re-read and re-read what an anti concept is "rationally unusable" no one has an idea of what it means, it's an anti-concept it's worse than means nothing it's an attack on "ideas as such". Read understanding objectivism. And Rand isn't 'prominent person in objectivism' she is the creator of it. You need to understand this before you make a podcast on it, or interview those that can speak with actual knowledge cus you've not a clue what you are saying.
