I would just say, put down the pipe and cut the music. He don't need it.

I was in the room when he spoke this remarkable discovery, for 9000 people to spend a day together celebrating their relationships, gives me my life today

So happy to hear his voice again -- working for him personally in late 70's was the best work experience ever and I was passionate and ALIVE !

@CloudshadowMan1 No, its not. :-)

@EWLGtoday ...because you have re-defined "Nothing" as "going in without preconceptions". But you still need to know or have a usable understanding about bricks, mortar, wood bars, how to handle the crane etc. You also need intention/possibility etc.

Defining yourself as "Nothing" like that opens the door for whatever intention someone else wants to use you for... For example, to bring in more people into Landmark and go into the same state of "Nothing"?

@billyjo1881 well said.

@tomorrowstruth actually WE can build a house from nothing. YOU just cannot do that.

I concur with claudelebe155. Perhaps bring the speaker out a bit more. I watched it a couple of times and you just might to try one day when it's invented and available a 'mood music skin' to track the variations of the speaker. Thanks for sharing.

[claudelebel55]

beautifully done, I would just up the balance in favor of the voice a little.

@billyjo1881 ...or to be less abstract: According to both Wittgenstein and Kant, words not attached to physical/tangible objects in the real, shared world are inherently "slippery": have the tendency to become meaningless, without us even realizing it. e.g. W. says language is a game. We use language to describe our experience, but source and target domain of language is shared physical reality, not the slippery ice of self-contained thinking.
