Finally! First video out for ages due to all the dumb distractions I've had out here!

I want to do readings from a range of philosophical authors including the likes of Nietzsche, Feyerabend, and more lately Schopenhauer (whom I am currently discovering). The supposedly 'paranormal' stuff that I am also doing falls within the scientific-philosophical domain.

This reading is from the Macmillan translation of 1904. I decided to split it into ten parts of ten maxims, ofwhich this is obviously the first. There were problems getting it finished and I think I will have to re-record it further down the line, but I have to find and keep a certain momentum, and this style allows me to produce new output more rapidly.

I should finish by saying that in sourcing illustrations and other materials for my media, I am trying my best to avoid treading on other people's copyright. Most of the illustrations are generated online using publicly available AIs, and these are then upscaled, also using a publicly available AI. It's great to be able to use free OSes, free AIs and free productivity software to do all of this.

The next video in this series will (of course) Maxims 11-20. Enjoy!
