STOIC POETRY | THE GOOD LIFE | A Human Operating System | 05-23-20

Updated: Sep 4, 2021



On a windy, blustery day alone in the East Mojave Desert I stood and walked and talked and remembered and recounted and critiqued again the objectives and principles upon which my simple life are founded. Handling each idea one after another, holding and considering and admiring and attempting to take apart and perhaps discard. What a very worthwhile use of time it is to challenge the bedrock upon which my life does stand. And what better purpose of living than to reject these feign structures where I find them should they prove unsound or unjust or untrue in any way. Perhaps one day I will be honest enough to leave them all at the doorstep of my safe and sane living and perspective, in order to go alone then into the deeper places where reflection and doubt and love and every effort of life return just one true answer - The Great Indifference.

 

My name is Kurt Bell.

Be safe... But not too safe.

The start of this video has a beautiful shot you had my attention. I just got your other book a few days ago from amazon (freeway bible study) i now own all of your books. Just wondering is there a reason for the 480p videos i would say at least 720p for web based videos. Although i can understand wanting to work in lowest quality possible saves upload time. From my understanding back in the day youtube used to lower the quality of audio under 720p. I think it's 128kbps AAC for 480p and 192kbps AAC for 720p above so under 720p you lose both image and audio quality.
