Illuminating the Splendor of exuberant indomitability from the inside out.

I’m in love with the ideas of exuberance and indomitability. In the videos I have made in the three years since Man Alive was published, I’ve made a stout effort to illuminate what it’s like to live my life from the inside out. I am in an empathy of opposites with everyone else, and I want to show you what I think by showing you how I think, but I also want to show you what it feels like to think my way.

I wrote the book Nine empathies on Saturday, August 30th, last year. A serious book of philosophy, completely revolutionizing the idea of empathy, written in a single day? I don’t think the way everyone else does, and, accordingly, I don’t work their way, either.

Even more fun for me, on the next day, Sunday, August 31st, I made a Church of Splendor homily elaborating on the book. I was beyond exhausted by then, and I was both elated and addle-pated, and, hence, the video was a choice exposition of my exuberant indomitability.

I thought I had lost access to that video, but I was able to recover it yesterday, to my immense delight. It’s embedded below. If you watch it, you’ll learn more about empathy than anyone on earth knew last year on August 29th. But even better, you’ll learn all about what exuberant indomitability feels like from the inside out.

I owe my brother men nothing, and I detest the idea of indiscriminate charity, but the gift each one of us confers upon all the others, as an unsought consequence of being alive, is the gift of his example – one may hope a good example. This video is me setting a good example, showing you why my way of thinking is better for you in every thriving cell of your body:
