CELEBRITY - a philosophical analysis

Описание: Oh my goodness. Thank you for your patience as I weathered my Saturn return. It was rough!
Hopefully I will be able to make videos a little more regularly than once every two years.
If you have any concepts you would like me to cover let me know in the comments.

I included some less favoured, sometimes denounced thinkers in here so that I was offering something new and introducing people to ideas they maybe hadn’t previously considered. That doesn’t mean that I subscribe wholeheartedly to the thinking of anyone mentioned in this video! It is simply food for thought. I’ll try to do a stream to discuss the ideas more thoroughly.
