Maybe you can make an episode with your wife, talking about a book review or sharing the story of how you met.
Ha - Thanks for the suggestion but she prefers being behind the camera.
Dude, thank you for taking time with my q. Apologies for the misread that gave you some extra work! But yeah, I find it to be profoundly liberating work for sure. So much of the reading experience with Bataille is about trialing sensitivities; reaching that point where you're no longer appalled by it all - where, in place of it, you feel awe - is deeply valuable for the soul.
For sure and No worries at all man, it was a pleasure to re-read the section. Thanks for the reminder that I gotta re-read that entire book. Absolutely agree with you, and glad you're enjoying it. Both Bataille and Surya left a lasting impact on me.
A lovely AMA! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks very much Stephen!
Thanks for the recommendations and asking my questions Clif. I loved your thoughts on politics too. Nice to know someone appreciates nuance!
My pleasure, thanks very much Brandon.
