Dear Jeyamohan,
I have noticed that your recent lectures tend to be quite lengthy, taking us much deeper than your shorter ones. In the shorter lectures, you typically present a single idea before moving on, while in the longer lectures, you clearly construct your arguments in several stages to establish a specific point. Personally, I prefer this format.
I listen to your lectures primarily to gain insight into your thought process. Although I regularly read your articles, the logical flow from one idea to the next in these lectures is particularly valuable to me. I’ve noticed that since I started listening to them, this methodical approach has organically integrated itself into my own thought process.
Recently, I listened to the lecture titled “How to Think,” and I found that these videos serve as excellent exercises in thinking. That lecture was also quite long and was structured in three stages: obstacles to thinking, social methods of thinking, and logical methods of thinking. I was particularly intrigued by the two methods you discussed, ontological and epistemological, as they were concepts I had not encountered before, yet they made perfect sense.
