Orlando, where you can almost always find a footing.
The ideas about art – the notions I have come to refer to as benedy and maledy – were spawned on that trip. Uncle Willie went to Las Vegas in July and lost his gamble, then to Orlando in August, where he shed himself of satire. I got my favorite guitar – Cherry Bomb – then, too. I had it shipped Amazon Prime to my hotel, so I first saw the third of my three princesses in Orlando.
“Hello, World! I’m your wild girl!Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb!”
The interview was shot at Socrates’ house, which he himself designed, built and decorated. The space is breathtaking, but you see too little of it, alas. Even so, it was the prefect setting for this discussion.
Socrates himself, in the space he designed as his own private perfection. The photo is from a small get-together in his home, and I got to meet his wonderful wife-to-be, Mary-Frances, that night.
We cover a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff: The ideas discussed in Man Alive, where those stand in relation to other doctrines, my intellectual influences, etc. Many of the ideas I’ve been working on for the past two years are explored in their infancy, as well: DISC, love and marriage, etc. If you want to see the best of my ideas in video, with persistent nudging to keep me from spinning off on tangents, this is worth your time.
Except… It will be a lot of time. The video is 2.5 hours long. It may suit you to take it down in smaller bites.
But: Do give it a look. This is a fun and funny way to take in a lot of my thought in a beautiful setting.
