Practicality, honesty, and patience
About this film
This is another talk on philosophy. I recorded it while hiking. The main points are: A consideration of the practical aspects of my philosophy, such as the unity between mind and body (talking and breathing, walking, etc.). Honesty and introspection are the basics of philosophy. We start doing philosophy when we develop an awareness of what we do (mindfulness). A case study on dating. Being honest about our humanity helps us avoid the trap of being disappointed the whole time. How honesty helps us overcome our ego and be more considerate, empathetic persons. I understand why one is sceptical about the practicality of philosophy because (1) it is broad in scope and (2) there is a communication problem, including the pretentiousness of certain intellectuals.
