Man I don’t know anything about you or your faith, but at 4:08 I literally thought “that’s basically what Ecclesiastes 3 says” and then immediately you went into Ecclesiastes. I’ve been thinking a lot about that chapter recently and this video really ministered to me, which might not have been your original intent. Thank you, sir.

Yo I appreciate it :) Ecclesiastes is amazing. someday soon I’ll probably approach faith topics on the channel…big topic to handle & I want to make sure I do it well. glad to have you around!

Absolutely love and appreciate this reflection. The “rough start” to their friendship, the playing of the two notes, and the passage from Ecclesiastes were each a moment I needed to pause and absorb. You don’t get that much from KZitem so thank you as always.

I actually really like how you ended yhe vid without anything conclusive. Feels nice to have people just state ideas they find interesting without imperatively stating some big life lesson or something.

I’m trying to learn that sometimes I can just observe & save a conclusion for later. ultimately conclusions are really important - but they come at the conclusion, the end. in the meantime I have loads of thinking to do :) thanks for the encouragement!

hey Tim, I really appreciate these little videos you give us on books you've read. my lit professor always told me to start my essays with an example before zooming out to a larger literary analysis, as going the other way leads to generalizations and an inflated scope. The way you approach such grand philosophical questions based on tiny observations perfectly encapsulates that and reminds us that reading is something organic, that it doesn't have to be a super intellectual and formal process. I'm looking forward to seeing you and your channel grow!

I'm from central europe and don't own a thermostate but I still do the feet thing... And about the contrast itself: I personally think that happiness can be achieved through thankfulness and without sadness. Even a simple life with a 9-5 job can be good. Even being thankful for the one hour of watching tv a week or for one bite of tasty food helps with happiness.

Not to be “that guy”, but Ishmael meets Queequeg in New Bedford on mainland Massachusetts. And then the two of them travel to Nantucket on a day ferry to ship out to whale. I did not perceive this change of scenery until my second read though. Good last name btw

oh wow thanks for pointing it out! I just assumed it was Nantucket. thank you! yeah I haven’t read through the full thing more than once - I’m sure there’s loads of other things like that I didn’t notice :)

My first read was just an absolute slug and only understood about 50% of it. Second read I was listening to Harold Bloom lectures on KZitem, watched the 1956 film adaptation and it made the experience more enriching. Cheers mate

thank you! I record audio first, then do doodles on paper in pen. I use Photoshop to get the text isolated and then Premiere to edit it all together. But any editing software would work perfectly fine for what I’m doing here I think
