  • Great video, thank you for making and posting it!

    Are you going to do another "talking head" video anytime soon? I loved your rants about postmodernism.

    Unfortunately, months ago my computer stopped letting me import videos from my camera. I have no idea what happened. Luckily, I can still make text videos.

  • Thanks. I'm doing some independant research into Montaigne and this has really helped!

  • I am about to read the final essay of Montaigne's. It took me several months to work my way through the entire book- I've been busy.

    I think this is my new favorite text ever written.

    I have over 8 pages of quotations collected.

    Sheer genius!

  • "I despise the pleasure of pleasing people whom I despise."

    "The most profound joy has more of gravity than gaiety in it."

    ^These two quotes, timeless..

    Great video :D

  • I don't know if I agree with all of the quotes, but I certainly enjoyed this video. The music felt purposely and it matched the content of the quotes well.
