Great lecture. Many things clicked
Thank you Mr. Medeiros ❤ This means the world to me ❤️
OMG—Pessoa! One of my favorite writers (along with his heteronyms)! If you have the chance, you must visit the Pessoa museum in Lisbon. It’s fantastic, so well done. In the Room of Disquiet there is a large table of cards set up with excerpts from The Book of Disquiet that visitors can read and mix and match. So glad that you went into his work with this video. Thank you!
I just read a book to add to the pile, namely Invitation to a Beheading by Nabokov. This suites well the minds that are more inclined to stories, the more lighthearted maybe, as there is some humor in there too.
Title grabber let get it

Good breakdown
Sebastian, King of Portugal
A madman, yes, because I wanted greatness
Such as fortune never grants.
My certainty couldn’t fit in me,
And so what I left on those foreign sands
Is the me that I was, not am.
Let others take up my madness
And all that went with it.
Without madness what is man
But a healthy beast,
A postponed corpse that breeds?
20 February 1933

…found this relevant, thanks for looping in Pessoa🙏
As my danish friend said Kierkegaard is pronounced Kirk eh go(h)
Just saying 🎉
I wouldn't say "embrace" this despair, I would say be completely aware with this despair, know it, and by completely studying it and being it, you also paradoxically free yourself from it

There lies a problem within equating the concept of the genius with the process of truth. For within the idea of genius lies the idea of power, of 'Zwang'; genius can force the world into shape. It can set the new norm, which you, earlier in the lecture, differentiated from truth. Schopenhauer, I think, describes that process of forcing the world into shape. He might have thought that was something sublimely truthful, but I think you started out with a very different notion of truth.
Love all your lectures, btw. They are a blessing!
Woher kannst du so gut Deutsch sprechen Julian?
The Book Of Disquiet is my favourite thing outside Cioran. I love it.
Pessoa my beloved. No one understands me more than he does.
As Bob Dylan says:
What's good is bad, what's bad is good
You'll find out when you reach the top
You're on the bottom
Nietzsche scholar and Pessoa fan here. Glad your video came into my feed today! Appreciate your erudite POV on these philosophical and sociological topics.
(P. S., I've been in the midst of reading the Book of Disquiet for a couple of years now, which I find very… Disquieting 🙂
