You make the best philosophy videos! During my college years, I was captivated by the elegance of Sartre's prose, or at least the translated copies I studied. I read everything he wrote. Although his novels were beautifully written, I plodded through Being and Nothingness, his utterly boring philosophy treatise. It was only after perusing Eastern literature a decade later that it gradually dawned on me that life was not a hopeless misadventure. Realizing that it was more of a mystery than a foregone conclusion empowered me to shake off a deeply ingrained sense of futility and depression. Do you have any videos of Albert Camus? He was another of my favorite writers.
