  • its weird because Im a 16 year old kid and find this guy and his lifestyle very interesting.

  • Ralph waldo Emerson, the tard who lied and said that Heroes are not popular. Such a bunch of bullshit .All heroes there ever have been ARE popular.

  • All my life, I've felt that there is something beyond materialism and dogma. YET at the same time, there is something beautiful and completely priceless about the *things* material objects and religion signify.

    I felt completely alone until I discovered the writings of transcendentalists, who put my deepest experiences and dreams of humanity into poetry.

  • Emerson was a brilliant man, we shouldn´t spend our lives trying to do what others expect of us. Just as if we need others to accept our right to exist.

  • i love this man..., God Bless him, this man believed in humanity, and inherited wisdom og those who came before him

  • Does anyone know the name of the poem in Into The Wild, that goes like 'men, do not think I hate thee, I simply love nature more'?

  • Transcendentalism

  • reminds me of FALUN GONG.

  • The spiritual philosophy of Transcendentalism is the closest thing America has to a unique, original religion, and it HAS had an influence. Yet, too many people overlook its wisdom.

  • Hello All, I am currently conducting Academic Research into the highbrow and lowbrow of Online community groups- In one word, if you like (eg Highbrow or Lowbrow) how would you rank yourselves as users of this site? Are you discerning over the content and communities you take part in and consume online? Has this video above got higher cultural value than any other?

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    (I love Emerson personally)

  • Concord is a wonderful place to visit because of the concentrated historical energy of the Transcendentalists.

  • I agree, this is a great video because it's so different from all the other ridiculous videos.

  • great !

  • God bless the one who uploaded this video

  • Trust thy self. Very true.

  • @DAAaudiA3 not really....and what happens if "thyself" is wrong???

  • @ninjamonkeys21 The problem is, the alternative to trusting ourselves and our experience is trusting other people and THEIR experience, and other people are just as capable of being wrong as we are. First-hand always trumps second-hand, in my book. The Buddha said, "Believe nothing, no matter who said it or where you read it, unless it agrees with your own experience and common sense." Emerson was basically saying the same thing.

  • Great Information
