These are books about the internet, anxiety, and work that have had a significant impact on me. They shifted my perspective or gave me a new way of thinking about the world (or at least an important topic).

I have been using Amazon's Kindle for years; I love reading books on mine. But as I've been thinking about ownership, digital content, and the power that Amazon has, I've decided to stop buying (or licensing) Kindle books. I talk about some of the problems Kindle has – the ability to revoke content, edit books after you buy them, and revise their terms of service – and then talk about some concrete steps I'm taking next.

I've tried quite a few note-taking methods for books and articles, but this is the method that continues to work for me. It involves three simple (but sometimes arduous) steps: annotating while you read, exporting to notecards and sorting those cards, and doing some kind of active reflection via writing.

Today we're talking about logical fallacies. These are common patterns of reasoning cause us to make mistakes in how we argue or think about the world. Examples include: ad hominem, appeal to ignorance, and the gambler's fallacy.

Stoicism is an ancient school of philosophy which originated in Greece and flourished in the Roman Empire. Its effects are still felt to this day through its influences on early Christianity, the rise of the Modern Stoics who preach Stoicism as a kind of fix for modern life's ills, and on YouTube.
But what is Stoicism? What is its history? What do we leave out when we talk about it nowadays? That's what I wanted to figure out in this video.

Sometimes people ask me about why I got a PhD in philosophy — and, more often, why I left academia and ended up as a YouTuber. I thought I'd tell you that story. A few things we cover: my start as a philosophy student, my decision to transfer PhD programs, leaving academia, whether or not I regret my PhD, and how I'd advise future students of philosophy based on my experiences.

Today I want to talk about journaling for self-improvement. I approach it from a philosophical point of view, too, thinking about the ancient concept of making sense of one's life as a whole, the narrative view of the self, and the cardinal virtues emphasized by ancient philosophers like Aristotle and Marcus Aurelius.

I've been asked several times to make a top 10 list of philosophy books. It is hard to do that. But I've tried. These are, I think, the 10 best works of philosophy that I've ever read.

Typically, a video about philosophical novels would discuss Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, or maybe Rand. But I wanted to look at some other novels — still deep, interesting, and philosophical, but not the books you find on every list like this.

This is a brief introduction to philosophy, designed to be beginner-friendly. I talk about logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. There are many details I was unable to discuss, but this video should help a beginner get their bearings as they explore philosophy.
Philosophers discussed include: Plato, Aristotle, Frege, Anscombe, Nietzsche, MacIntyre, Rawls, Nozick, Descartes, Hume, Confucius.
Thanks to Jimmy Nutts for comments on the script.

Philosophy, science fiction, and fantasy — three of my favorite things. In this video, I give some recommendations for philosophical science fiction and fantasy. Recommendations include space opera, wizard schools, epic fantasy spanning thousands of years, and time-traveling romances.

This is a guide to reading and understanding your books. Most of what I say is based on Mortimer Adler's book 'How to Read a Book', which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to get serious about reading. Aside from the four levels of reading, Adler's book goes over the differences between reading fiction, different types of non-fiction (history, philosophy, etc.), and practical books.

The best place to start with Le Guin is either The Dispossessed (my favorite) or The Left Hand of Darkness. Library of America has a two volume set of all of Le Guin’s Hainish Cycle, and that includes both books: amzn.to/46JIbuM
There is a fresh documentary about Le Guin. I consulted it heavily for this video. It can be rented or purchased from Amazon: amzn.to/3LVlyvE
To understand Le Guin thought process, the collection ‘The Language of the Night’ is indispensable. It is out of print and expensive, sadly. You may be able to find a PDF somewhere: isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?151671
Even if you don’t love fantasy, Earthsea is essential: amzn.to/46H2XLB
For a sample of Le Guin’s later writing, I recommend the Library of America’s edition of Always Coming Home: amzn.to/3Q9PvKW
For the philosophical background to engage with Le Guin, check out the following books.

If you want to take great book notes and remember what you read, then I recommend trying out this method. This method centers around creating outlines as if you were going to teach the material to a beginner. I used this when I was teaching undergraduates, but it also works well when I'm taking book notes for my own use.
While filming, I was told that this was very similar to the Feynman method. Here's a video that explains that method: youtube.com/watch?v=_f-qkGJBPts (There are a lot of similarities.)

Apps mentioned were Roam Research (roamresearch.com) and Obisidian (https://obsidian.md/). I use Roam because I have time left on my subscription, but Obsidian is just as good (if not better) and is free.
