Ken you're doing a beautiful job engaging with David's work and with him as a person. Love the content. It's a great privilege to be able to follow along with these conversations - thanks!
Absolutely wonderful Ken & David! Ken once again we are all going to benefit from your tremendous instinct of a great idea. Can’t wait for the rest of the series. Bravo and thank you both 🙏
Thank you Ken for the work you are doing bringing these conversations to us. I hope to be able to speak to you someday soon around revivifying the western traditions and evolving an ecology of practices that include a reframing of the neoplatonic view of the body and nature. I am grateful for your contributions to our community and dialogue
David's book has been on my reading list for a while. Thanks for doing this series! Point of reflection: When I realized the difference between freedom *from* and freedom *to*, I giggled a bit because the title of the book is a serious philosophical jab, that's pretty deeply polemical actually. "Freedom from" is driven by anxiety and despair, and ultimately disorienting. It's like a Mephistophelian deal gone sour and ironic at the end. Whereas "freedom to" is removing obstacles for love.
Section on the human will is so helpful. I hate that I can’t hold onto this stuff for very long afterward seems like. Wish it would become intuitive in me.
What a special series to tune into. It was a dance too for the audience. But done well as though the trust to follow the person leading made an inexperienced dance partner find a confidence to just give it go. Not like a leap of faith or blind faith. Like a remembering of something personal, maybe. I will only disagree with a slip of words near the end bit. Evil is never placed on the horizon. But it could be concentrated on the deep swell of an ocean's wave. The good is a point you place on the horizon as a direction to head toward in rough or dark waters.
Unless I missed it, Locke’s notion of “mixing one’s labor with the land” & ownership, wasn’t explicitly mentioned. I’m curious if his concept of freedom clarifies common misunderstandings of ownership, commonwealth, abundance & human empowerment.
The opinion of Ellen Davis of Duke, in interpreting the Bible, and our relationship to the earth (God's gift), is that essentially any private ownership of land is immoral. I can see society in another 1,000 years implementing such ideas when we regain our grasp of community, commonality, and who we all are ... meaning humans. Peace & TY

Precisely! And while David is quick to save the person, he is very thorough in his critique and its scope
As DBH likes to say “I have 52 different brands of to choose from, therefore I’m ‘free’.”

Resonating with a ton of this. Thanks, gentlemen.

Thank you so much for joining! What a wonderful perspective on Dialogue!

Yes! We will be getting to that as David explores the angle at length
Definitely added FFR to my list after that
