Happy Thanksgiving !! What am I thankful for ? Dr. Sadler. To loosely paraphrase and adapt Goethe : "One must be a double-barreled genius. A genius in your given field, and a genius at communicating with the world." I assert that Dr. Sadler is a triple barreled genius. He is all of the above and knows things other philosopher teachers cannot. And what is that ? He knows, first hand, how these ideas are received by the general non-tuition paying public in the world today. Dr. Sadler frequently leads public high-quality talks he arranges... and for whom ? For any random combination of people who show up and at no cost. I believe these interactions hone, tone and guide Dr. Sadler's future videos and make them *even better* than they were before. Comments from these audiences are sometimes insightful, and often cuckoo, but Dr. Sadler in his jovial manner, always listens, expands upon what was said and guides the conversation to the next point. It is this non-ivory tower approach to bringing philosophy to the masses that for me, helps make philosophy matter to people's lives in ways that it simply could not any other way. He plunges just as fearlessly into dense texts as he does into unfiltered groups of folks but does both to share, chuckle about , elucidate and just plain teach philosophy. He is an asset to society directly. And a shining example of taking something as subtle philosophy and not only finding a way to build a life around it, but a life that matters. (quadrupled barreled genius ? ) Whew. Ok. I'm done. As you were.
I was wondering why none of my friends organically invited me to their parties, did a little anonymous instagram comment thingy, turns out im annoying, clingy, dont respect boundries(among 70 other comments). It explains why I havent had a gf for more than two months and most exciting part of most friendship is the first couple of weeks. hope Aristotle can help me be a less of a turdembodiment.

That's very high praise. Not sure it's deserved, but it's appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to think out and write it!

I think it would be more what you actually decide to do with the Aristotle that would make a difference
Great short video! I think this concept will be a hit! Thanks :-)
Yes, I've done about 280 of them so far
