Philosophy for today

I’ve only read one title by Alain de Botton but his philosophy has already made a major impact on my approach to life. I look forward to reading more of his works in the very near future.

I recently found a great video and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about what’s making us all tick these days.

Bill Hicks – another dead hero

I knew nothing of Bill Hicks until I saw his photo on a Tool album cover with the words Bill Hicks – another dead hero beneath it. Being a massive Tool fan, I began investigating this Hicks fella. Lo and behold! I discovered one of the greatest comedians and humanists of our time (all time?). Bill Hicks had a knack of telling it like it was/is. He never pulled his punches. His act was funny, brutally honest, truthful and sincere. Hicks was one of those guys that thought for himself and came to some astonishing conclusions. If I could wrap up his ideals simply I would say he was extolling love over hate, the truth of one consciousness and how we could easily become a better society if we only just thought about it.

Here is a great clip of Bill in his element on stage…
