Book 3 of the Republic: "Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one, and those commoner natures who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled to stand aside, cities will never have rest from their evils - no, nor the human race, as I believe - and then only will this our State have a possibility of life and behold the light of day."

Everyone is unique and everyone is also the same. What is unique must be cherished, what is the same must also be cherished. We are but one drop in a vast ocean of humanity, and if we stay separate from each other, we will dry up and be gone. Our planet is unique and yet it is one of many and we are a part of it as it is a part of us.
Love and peace my dear friend. A kook is just someone different, but in the end, he's still a part of us all. ;)

hey eli. cool questions. like you i do have a belief in god(s). unlike you i'd say mine does fit into the description you've made of religion. but ur right religion should not be pushed. neither should god(s) for that matter.
"Where are the philosophers?" i like to think of myself as a student of philosophy. since there are no channels for it i think most place the individual vids in the category they feel it best fits. and the channel wherever. peace. :)

oh how wonderful a world it would be if people were more in to enjoying this life, and examining our thoughts. comedians are philosophers in my opinion. Look forward to your work, Z ~ and thanks for the vid response.
the spirituality we all can have is certainly something inexplicable and very much related to Love and whatever is good in this world. no need to be a zealot, or fanatic... life is simple and complex at the same time. LIVE! and LET LIVE!

i also like the comedian - philosopher juxtaposition. the AI piece i'm working on is defined as "stand up comedian and a zen thinker", among other things.
Good vid eli!

I'm a beliver, don't consider myself religious but I love life and I love the essence that gives us life :D

you're right, eli. Richard Dawkins is a militant zealot, not a thinker. it seems like some people cannot distinguish between organized, institutionalized religion, and native spirituality. strange, isn't it...

we've learned by now that life can be strange, or miraculous, basically based on where we focus our mind. I was intrigued by the God Delusion, but that didn't last long. I think we all need better answers than we have so far seen on this planet... though there are many examples of hitting the nail directly on the head. Let's just focus on those as often as possible!
Love you man! cheers. have a nice weekend.
