Professor Jiang, I want to tell you that since I discovered your channel two months ago, my life changed completely. I was depressed, but thanks to your classes, I've been able to see the world and life from a different perspective. Thank you so much for that Professor. I love you very much!! And also let me tell you that I've never had any heroes, I've never been a fan of anyone, but now you are my first hero, thank you very much Superman Jiang and greetings from Argentina!❤

First to say Jiang we appreciate you. We are grateful to be in the presence of a thought leader who pursues truth and intellect over self or anything else. It is a great honor and privilege to bear witness to it. Not to feed you hubris or anything. It is simply such a tumultuous time amidst all the AI slop, fake news, propaganda etc. it’s important that we be reminded the power of a question, regardless of whether or not what you’re arguing is true or false. We are mighty beings and even stronger minds. Every video is a reminder to Don’t let them take that from us

Basically conquering is a waste of energy on earth. I rather stick with learn, love, create and get closer to the Monad. Thank you professor for your teachings ❤ Greetings from the north of Spain (a Mexican American).

Crazy I learned more about this period from this class than I did in college and reading books

I wouldn't mind at all watch one lecture per day (as it is the case today) . Each day that there is no new episode, I watch an oldder lecture once more. On weekends I have a marathon of the lectures of the week, plus my favorite ones (Dante, Homer, the Bible).
