Great Books #13: Gay Talese's Sparks of Light

Dear viewers: I return on June 15th with a two-week seminar on Dante. See everyone then!

“Enjoy the rest of your lives” Prof. Jiang

incredible how 80% of the audience didn't get that he isn't preaching this, he's only reading the goddamn book. the nature of the universe is sexual in the form that TWO UNITE TO CREATE A THIRD. not that "sex is the answer". he said that the two first solutions are wrong. the first dissociates you from reality, the second deepens your sadness. the third is to connect to other people and find the intersections between yours and theirs divine sparks. using your ideas and theirs, you can create a third. by being free of fear and ego, you facilitate the process of finding the sparks. sometimes I think that you guys watch the classes with the monitor unplugged and no audio.

Prof we love you. Thanks for your being ❤

? I thought after final examination, we will have a break. Wow, thanks for another lecture.

thank you Prof Jiang. You are a Spark of Light !

Great one to end on! Thank you Prof. J and best of luck to ALL of the Students...in class and in the World! Stay FREE Humans!

I've seen Mr. Talese in a documentary about his book The Voyeur's Motel! I got mad respect for him immediately. It's amazing that he was Prof Jiang's mentor!!

Prof Jiang is almost single handedly responsible for teaching me how the world really works and now is diving head first into the why through literature. What more can anyone really ask for? Thanks Professor!!

I dreamed I left a comment saying ' O Captain my Captain !' , as Professor Jiang embodies a version of the kind , empowering teacher depicted in 'Dead Poets Society ', but then I realised its a bit mad but oh well' O Captain my Captain !'
