You're such a Chad for doing this

[dylanleisler]

Got recommended this book a few days ago, but I'm narcoleptic, so reading is pretty difficult these days. Thanks for the upload.

I see a lot of parallels between what he talks about and the situation with artificial intelligence, especially the singularity. An ominous warning. Lewis was truly ahead of his time.

Thanks, this is excellent content. CS Lewis should be mandatory for all school age kids.

Wow!!!....he was predicting what us human would become.

Have you got “The Gospel in brief” by Tolstoy?
I feel like, after reading your channels description, it would make a good addition to your selection of videos.

[RallyTheTally]

Wouldn't it be cool if we teached this in school.

Fascinating first page! Aldous Huxley (Who wrote Doors of Perception) proposed handing out halucinagens in church services so that the people who couldn't Feel the glory, sublimity, the awe and love, inherant in the service, Would experience the divine! We are meant to be brought to heaven in the Mass, and he thought our senses could be stimulated, our minds, kindled, -to do so! (But of course that would only confirm to the text-book writer that there is no sublime, only men with feelings.)

Actually natural law is like the mandate of heaven!
