Extremely thought provoking. Just an example of some of his thoughts. Very Zen.

Threads for time for last two videos.

Read the first one and I interpreted it as him optimistically saying this "nothing" feeling is the plateau of your depression and how any future "negative" events will be incomparable and be like dreams.

Although, I was never philosophical and this interpretation seems too simple so don't think too much of it.

Alan Watts for the win. I am a big fan! I listen to him when I can't sleep at night.

If you want to listen to people with similar and differing ideas check out Neil Kramer and Terence Mckenna. Both of them also have some interesting ideas

I feel speaker in a similar nature to this are best when parred with great music. Which in it's own way provokes thoughts and emotions the speaker, alone cannot.

Dude like totally whoa. Pseudo-scientific philosophy should not be paid attention to. Notice how nothing e bases his topics of conversation on can be considered "quantifiable" by any means standardized. He could (and so could you) claim anything he wanted on the subject seemingly remotely "intellectual" and sound intelligent or seem plausible. Please don't listen to these guys.
