Nice to see philosophy taught to younger students. Bringing in the Awakening series would lead some to John's channel and further explorations. Opponent processing as a course sounds awesome - give them the tools - with the leap of faith past the triggering event, allowing the leap of reason from the two (at least) brilliant offers of knowing (the vulnerability and the response) and the love opened up in that leap, of understanding as relatio religio (I think). Thanks.
A great conversation. I was similarly inspired by the Awakening from the Meaning Crisis lectures and for two years now have been running an elective Intro to Philosophy course for my high school students. I was a bit nervous at first, unsure if it was feasible and how the students would respond, but my experience was similar to Patrick's; the students have taken to it with great enthusiasm. Thanks for everything you put out John.
John, glad you are interviewing this youngster who is properly naive about what is coming down the pike for him, hope he prospers. If you haven't yet had the opportunity, I suggest you investigate Tom Campbell and his take on consciousness. To physicists, his focus on the subjective is spending time in kookyland but what do materialists actually know about the topic? I'd say, diddle. Even Hoffman is wary ... somewhat surprising because I think Campbell complements Hoffman.
If the speaker had a PhD in Philosophy, he would have been depressed long ago, forget about contributing to society! Glad to see someone doing this out of a mere interest in knowledge and seeking wisdom
I wonder if that young man would understand that my point in 'Cosmic discourse' story on Wattpad which is spiritual perception has, is and will continue to be a moving target.
Other than Nishitani (who was fantastic btw, thank you), what other work do you recommend that helps to make sense of differences between Eastern and Western thought?
For your reading of Dante: "a youth of seventeen who is in love is better fitted to comprehend the Divine Comedy than a scholar who has spent a lifetime on it but who has never shared the experience on which it is based." - Harold Goddard
The young man's description of early (before Roman adoption) Christianity overlooks the divergent church versions of gospel in first and second centuries. There was no universal church philosophy until much later.
This episode certainly bore witness to my biases on organized religion. Had to stop watching about halfway through. Religious ideology has too much human baggage so I guess I prefer the Dao, which cannot be named.

Great discussion! As s homeschooling mom I was very much inspired by this interview. I am grateful to you both!

I find it interesting that Chesterton is the model yet there is no mention of C S Lewis.
