This guy is very trippy, period. It's endless how many of his lectures are available at Youtube. His schtick basically nails the meaning of life. I was struggling to keep awake. I am not a big fan of waking up early. When I sleep, it goes very deep. I wonder why we're not able to remember dreams. It would take a major effort.

There are t.v. shows done when he was younger, more serious and professional. I like his later years.
Feeding the blog continues for now.
