Just talking about my favorite point in Batialle's book and how it's influenced my own thinking. I forgot to mention the second book I was going to talk about, which was The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell who was a largely influential mythologist. I'll bring up that book in another video.
Blessed be.

@posthumanoid Thanks! And sadly no, I haven't read nearly as much of Bataille's work as I'd like. I read the Accursed Share Vol 1 and Blue of Noon. I will definatly check out Antonin Artaud.

I really like your summary of Bataille's ideas. Bataille was an amazing and influential thinker. Have you read many other works by him? I also recommend checking out Antonin Artaud as a highly spiritual philosopher of sorts.
