in dutch we have a word “niksen” it means “doing nothing” but it has not negative connotation and i think that beautiful

I always imagine that this is what is meant by the expression "enjoy the little things". Instead of striving for ever more STUFF, more decadent displays of wealth or status, you can usually find true happiness in the small things that may not be productive, or measurably valuable, but nevertheless provided a level of happiness and comfort. Looking back at some of the most enjoyable things I've done, many of them were just hanging out with friends or family, just talking or playing a board game, and we didn't have smartphones back then so nobody was tempted to record it and gain social capital online.

It's absolutely true that intrinsic activity is valuable and important. I'm not sure that the downgrade of internal quality of life can be all attributed to a loss in leisure. Surely having more leisure would be beneficial, but as someone who enjoys marginally more leisure than your average American, I would say that the problem is a loss of community. I know that this is a personal struggle of mine, but I believe the data shows we are more lonely now than ever, and we have definitely lost the "third" place

Totally agree. Not much money to be made in a beautifully stable and harmonious society thay doesn’t need or consume much, doesn’t fight many wars, if any, etc

I work 3 days a week, and other 4 days I enjoy my hobbies. Amazing how much more motivation I have when I'm able to choose how I spend my time more freely

(Excerpt from the monologue spoken by the Centaur at the beginning of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s “Medea”)
“Maybe you think that besides
being a liar, l'm also too poetic.
But for ancient man, myths and rituals
are concrete experiences,
which are even included in his daily existence.
For him, reality is a totally perfect unit,
and the emotion he feels at the sight of a summer sky, for example,
equals the more internal, personal
experiences of modern man.”

"You don't question the meaning of life when leisure is the heart of life rather than work." 🎯
Questioning the meaning of life is a symptom of a life not fully lived.

The realest compliment I can give is you are one of the only channels I pause and rewatch sections of to fully comprehend what you’re saying. You do great work, keep it up!

Thank you very much for this video! It fascinates me how people dreamed of progress as a way to be wealthy and healthy enough so they can enjoy life by spending time with loved ones and having the means to fulfill their inner call. Nowadays, we work all day long without even questioning what we aim to achieve. Our civilization couldn't escape meaning crisis as long as it doesn't provide people a way out of this situation in which work and success seem to be the ultimate value of life

Leisure is necessary for allowing the mind to wander. But this wandering can take us to new heights or dangerous lows. There’s a reason we say that idle hands are the devils workshop

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A welcomed and enriching breath-of-fresh-air of a video. Thank you!

Watched the whole video, thank you for your transparency
Very, very interesting to hear your observations regarding Brand. I have been a subscriber of his for a number of years now and recently have started to seriously question his direction. Would be *incredibly* interested to watch a video on him from your perspective.
In regards to your content - I agree with your reflection. I'll give you a window into my life if it is of any help to you. My very life is very tiring and I'll often click on videos such as yours to listen to as a backdrop. I find your voice very calming and easy to listen to. Unfortunately I don't have the time to read books on philosophy, but I do very much enjoy the ideas and conversations that people have about it. So for me, a lot of the names you will bring up in your videos don't really mean much to me, but I will watch anyway to take some kind of lesson or idea away to help make sense of the world a little more, or to learn something new about myself. I do agree with your assessment that your more recent videos have been a little on the heavy side. So I think you are on the right path with this channel update. But please make of my feedback as you wish.
Very excited to see what your new content will look like. Thank you again for all that you do 🙏

Thanks man. Very well-done 👏 - And although it may be tough facing of reality of our times, it’s also paradoxically inspiring to hear the comparison made and to have some clarified insight as to the cost of the pursuit of the promises of the modern path so well-trodden. 🙏

AMAZING!!! Thank you
|
Wow, this video is eye opening. Really some food for thought.
|
Beautifully done James. The struggle is real, finding the strength to move in that directions, leaving what we were told and learnt that was important as a foundation of our society, behind, swimming against the tide to live an inner life of happiness and contentment.

Standing ovation 👏🏼

Excellent. Thanks

i blacked out for the rest of the video after hearing pessants working 100 something days a year. I remember hearing somewhere that hunter gatherers also just "worked" about 3 days a week.
