      You and me both. I love to hear his speak of his ideas and love to read and hear him read his poetry and books. He is such a great treasure. A MIND, A PERSON ONLY GOD COULD CREATE.

    Every word measured, crafted, respected, loved. A delight to listen, certainly to read it too. But in his case, voice, accent, tone adds such a fresh and light experience.

      @Renato Every word is spoken with a lot of awareness and once spoken he gives the right amount of time for the spoken words to sink into his awareness. It's a divine quality to be able to speak like that. He's able to tap into into peace which is the natural nature of every being.
      Practicing Silence/Meditation is one way of improving the levels of your consciousness.

    There is something about a soft-spoken person that makes me relax yet sharpens my focus on what’s being said. I love listening to him.

      @@armchaircouch just read that. Looks like some egotistical oneupmanship. He might be that intelligent, but what good does being a dick about it do? I can tell that this Daniel dude has a heart of gold. I know who I'd rather talk to IRL. 🤣 The other guy just sounds like a nitpicking internet troll.

  • @AndrewFerrer3d
    @AndrewFerrer3d 4 года назад +2

    I know this man has a super brain that can do ashtonishing things. But learning a language to conversational in a week is something I think you can do if you set your mind to it and have the interest. I remember when I first started to learn Chinese. I would remember every word and its meaning after just having it introduced to me once, because I was so absoltuely eagerly interested in the language that I just could not forget what I was learning.

  • @davidcopperfield-notthemag397
    @davidcopperfield-notthemag397 6 лет назад +7

    The Bible says that creation 'speaks' about and teaches about God so much so that this fact is 'inexcusable'. I agree that plants, mountains, oceans, artwork, etc. speak to us. I have a love of words, especially adjectives. I find words like miracles, capable of great endless things. The writer is exerting power through the words but even after death or when the writer is unknown, WORDS stand alone and go on exerting power. Great example of this is the Bible which continues to exert powerful influence over people's lives. We are better off and more whole when we 'communicate' connect with creation and inanimate things. It makes us healthier, happier, more balanced and stronger.

    Fascinating to hear him speak. Great to hear his perspective and take on things. I am a little disappointed that a person this smart, while willing to contemplate other universes and other types of time, is not willing to entertain the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence. Indeed there is no direct mathematical proof of alien intelligence, or even life outside of our solar system, but look at the numbers. The sheer staggering amount of stars in our universe makes the *lack* of alien life unlikely. We are making strides in our ability to detect planets, but we are still in the early stages. Despite this, 'lo and behold, we have already discovered several earth-like candidates. It would be really interesting to hear more of his reasoning behind this. Anyone know of any videos?

    • @thomasraywood679
      @thomasraywood679 4 года назад

      Yup, it's the sheer size of the numbers you're overlooking. Regarding time itself, what such vast numbers support is that intelligent life "out there" would have come into existence long before we did, and therefore long ago would have evolved past where we are now... in which case they too would have been looking for intelligent life "out here," and would have found us. Since there no clear (clean) indication this has happened, and since it's so difficult to imagine someone would "know about us yet choose to not make us aware of it," yes, the proper deductive conclusion is that it's not likely any such life is out there. The large numbers make that conclusion a more likely one, not a less likely one.

    11:01 What an utterly profound and interesting thought. I asked for words to come in and help me to write a short story about an object in my room. I started seeing images of perhaps the interesting "life" or function of the object forming. This is quite profound.
    Do you need a thinker to have a thought or is the thought waiting for the thinker?
    Were and are great scientists and thinkers of our time known and unknown tapping into this immense universal phenomena?
