    A Deep Dive into: Fear [pt.13] – Why be afraid of saying hey to an unknown human? (The Philosophy of: The School of Life)

    October 31, 2018 - By Dave

    Since it’s halloween, this is another of a Deep Dive into the emotion that dictates most, if not all, our decisions –fear. What do you have to lose by saying hi to someone you find interesting? What possible destruction to our life that could be done to us just by opening our mouths and forcing words out them in order…

  • Deep Dives - On the Absurdity of... - Why you listen to it

    A Deep Dive into: The (beautifully tragic) absurdity of love songs – A love song isn’t a true love song if it doesn’t contain sadness and longing – The Philosophy of: Nick Cave (& why he thinks Kylie’s Better the Devil You Know is a devastatingly remarkable love song.)

    October 22, 2018 - By Dave

    …The love song is never truly happy. It must first embrace the potential for pain. Those songs that speak of love without having within their lines an ache or a sigh are not love songs at all but rather Hate songs disguised as love songs, and are not to be trusted… The love song must resonate with the susurration of…

    I hope today goes absolutely wretchedly for you. – A Deep Dive into: The wonderous beauty of Pessimism & The philosophy of: Alain De Botton (on Pessimism)

    October 13, 2018 - By Dave

    Any shitty thing that happens in our lives happens not because it is indeed a shitty thing, it only is shitty because of our predetermined lofty expectations of how we hoped it would turn out. The fact that we expected it to be the opposite of shitty, or at least less shitty in the first place is what’s to blame for our ultimate disappointment and…

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.13]: Why playing it cool with someone you think is special is not cool at all.

    October 12, 2018 - By Dave

    If you truly think someone is wonderful, that they are a special human person, or that the things they do, how they comport themselves and the euphoric way they make you feel is unlike anyone else, it’s only fair that they know. But if you tell them, won’t you seem too keen and risk them going off you? If you…

  • Deep Dives - On Freedom

    A Deep Dive into: Freedom – In your entire life, up to this point, when did you feel the most free? + The Philosophy of: Oasis’ Whatever (and the moment when I was)

    August 16, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into something we want in our personal lives, our relationships (or at least for the other person to understand when we want it), our work lives and why we make money, and just in general. Freedom. And ironically, the less you ‘have’, the less responsibilities and obligations, possessions and commitments, the more freedom you have. —— If…

    A Deep Dive into: The absurdity of knowing (& understanding) other people [pt.2] – How is it possible to know why people do what they do? (& The philosophy of: Charlie Fineman from Reign Over Me)

    August 2, 2018 - By Dave

    If someone’s decisions seems odd or completely understandable to you, they’re probably a no-brainer to them. And even if you think you do understand the motivations and reasons for their decisions or what they do, you probably only know a part of the picture.  Natasha in Tolstoy’s War and Peace is misunderstood, though she had every right, in her mind (the mind…

    A Deep Dive into: The absurdity of knowing (& understanding) other people [pt.1] – How is it possible to know what it’s like to be someone, if you can never ever actually ‘be’ them?

    August 1, 2018 - By Dave

    Do other people sometimes act weird according to you? And other times is it quite expected? The only thing unites (or divides) you and those people may be the what they do, but it may perhaps in no way at all be the why. Think about your entire life up until this point… Think about every single thing that’s happened, and…

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.7] – The Philosophy of: Being in a relationship

    June 7, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. So what does it really mean? —– Every relationship (and friendship) must end. Which is why is it absurd that we must go into every relationship hoping it will last forever. But this is…

    June 6, 2018 - By Dave

    ‘It was better to burn than to disappear.’ – Meursault (from Camus’ The Outsider)  Think back to before you were born… What do you remember? What was important to you?.. Probably not much right? Well, it’s likely that that’s what you’ll think and how you’ll feel about every single thing after you die too. Though you could look back in history…

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.5] – The Philosophy of: being single (and what the Tao Te Ching’s got to do with it)

    June 5, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. So what does it really mean? —— ‘Take it that you are not going anywhere but here, and that there never was, is, or will be any other time than now.’ – From Tao: The…
