 Good day mate, how's it going? So we're gonna go on a walk about here So I was just reading a biography of John Locke We didn't publish anything until his 50s Published his best important works in the 60s, but they all built upon thoughts that he developed in his younger days Anyway, John Locke started out as quite the track. So we think of John Locke today as the godfather of Classical liberalism, but back in the day he was quite the track and Then you have an encounter with the Chancellor of the Exchequer So what Ashley Cooper? Okay, I hope I don't run into any snakes here See quite a few lizards, but Thank God no snakes. Well look at this So the Chancellor of the Exchequer had to live a problem And so he thought he could get some relief By going to the waters of Eastrop and so when he goes to the waters He goes to Oxford to partake of this magical well of Eastrop and Person who brings him 12 flasks of these magical waters turns out not to be the physician He was expecting that John Locke so John Locke studied medicine at Oxford Science or economics studied medicine John Locke he operated and he cut out an abscess and Then he provided a drainage tool so that there would not be a new abscess and A drainage tool that went out Lord Ashley Cooper's stomach. And so John Locke basically saved the life of Lord Ashley Cooper and Ashley Cooper became his patron and Anyway, John Locke would not have become John Locke without Ashley Cooper so Ashley Cooper introduced him to ways of religious tolerance and classical liberalism And it was through the interchange John Locke's mind with Ashley Cooper's mind that John Locke became John Locke and wrote his two treatises on government and His other famous works on religious toleration, etc. They probably would never have happened Without Ashley Cooper So it just makes me think how collaborative intellectual activity is We produce In relationship to other people And It was having this patron Lord Ashley Cooper John Locke the classical liberal fame There will be no today And it makes me think of the importance of co-hosts So in a sense the streams that I did with Casey, okay, who's now Godward podcast and Aside from that he doesn't really care about my streams But the shows that I did with Casey those wants to listen those he wanted to listen to listen to all of them but Just the stuff I produced on my own Just doesn't hold his attention and so similarly other people they enjoyed the shows I did say with Kevin Michael Grace, but on my own they could not give us toss Well, they might like the shows I did with Dennis Dale, but on my own All right, they're not interested. They might be a fan of the shows I did the Vivian They don't care so Most of us need co-hosts, right? We need people who bring out the best in us. We're in a la-dala mate Beautiful outlock there about three hours South of Sydney Let's see where this path leads needs to know good Just like really hard to produce a compelling show Without a good co-host It's Often really hard to develop Coherent thoughts without a good co-host Okay, a little bit dicey here. It's gonna Very gingerly make my way Think about all those people who fall into their deaths while live-streaming. I think I want to be one of them So I saw a list to call the other day. It was Like 77 great movies that we don't want to watch again All right, so why would you not want to watch a great movie because it's just so exhausting All right So can you think of like great movies that you acknowledge are great? But you just don't want to look at them again because they're so exhausting and It reminds me of a friend who said that he didn't like to watch Emotionally intense TV or Movies because it's just too tiring So does he have too much empathy or do people who don't find Emotionally intense movies tiring today lack empathy It reminds me of an article I was reading in Time magazine about how much of our lack of energy comes from Disappeating our energy Like we and we can dissipate it with Like really emotionally intense movies and TV shows So Yeah, that makes sense. It's like it's very easy to think I'm gonna watch a movie in TV show and it's gonna be a nice distraction But distraction is not recuperation We think we're resting by watching TV or watching a movie but The distraction is not rest. It's not recuperation and we're losing our energy. It was just tripping from us Stem the leaks in our energy We want to accomplish great things we have to stop Stop Disappeating and so I think that goes for people too, right? People who are just absolutely exhausting to be around So emotional vampires, I think this one one name for them. We have to watch out for the emotional vampires you have to watch out for Say a messy desk Not having our stuff organized not having our life organized can be a tremendous dissipation of energy and You have to you have to watch out perhaps even for entertainment Which we think oh, this is entertaining. This is going to renew my spirit but The emotionally intense entertainment may end up draining you There may be distractions not Rest and recuperation What do you think what does it mean someone can't watch emotionally intense movies of TV shows without getting drained They overly empathic Certainly too much empathy like too much of any quality could be a major problem
