@walterkirn If courage comes from the ‘cor’ or the heart, and intelligence is to read between- ‘inter-legere’, the relationship is revealed to be intrinsic, literally ‘the heart of the matter’!

Thesis on the decline of art:
authors, musicians and filmmakers are, like us, always on their phones, and thus no longer forced to creatively contend with the silence and boredom that used to be an inescapable reality of everyday life

Iain McGilchrist from, 'The Matter with Things':

'Nowadays our unthinking reaction is to reject any belief or experience whose origins are not known to us: unless we are fully conscious of everything about it and have it under control, it is treated as suspect'.

The most elaborate fantasy of all is the fantasy that allows you to presume that you don’t live in a fantasy.

Thanks for explaining that for us! Ironically media condescension has fed the kind of distrust Rogan is highlighting.

As any good comic knows the absurdity of the truth is one of the only things that make it bearable! One such truth the last 5 years have demonstrated: the line between celebrating the absurdity and drowning in it, is better drawn by comics, than it is by journalists.

Perhaps when it comes to explaining jokes you should ‘leave it to the experts’!

“The way through the world is more difficult to find than the way beyond it”- Wallace Stevens

Oft quoted by James Hillman who wrote:

“To interpret the world’s things as if they were our dreams deprives the world of its dream, its complaint. Although this move may have been a step toward recognizing the interiority of things, it finally fails because of the identification of interiority with only human subjective experience”- The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World

A calling may be postponed, avoided, intermittently missed. It may also possess you completely. Whatever; eventually it will out. It makes its claim. The daimon does not go away.

When Jung once said that “a neurosis is an offended god,” he meant, metaphorically, that the neglect of a deep, instinctual energy ultimately revenges itself in our somatic discords, compulsions, addictions, or projections onto others.~James Hollis, What Matters Most
