Greg - Thanks for doing these. I hope that someday there will be a way to get them as transcripts. I absorb information much better and more quickly by reading than by listening and watching. I understand that your time probably has at least as many claims on it as mine does, but I think that we're coming into an age where AI can do very respectible transcripts at very low cost.

Best wishes and good luck in carrying on your work.

P.S. If you want to do more on Stoicism, there's a fine book by Ward Farnsworth called The Practicing Stoic that's worth taking a look at.

I hope that you know you can easily get transcripts of YouTube videos. You scroll down in the video description to where it says Show Transcript.

I wouldn't trust an AI not to make silly mistakes with transcribing anything philosophy-related.

Farnsworth sent me his book years ago. It's not bad. Not great, but not bad

Thanks for the response. I’m not that much of a YouTube guru and am grateful for the tip. Best wishes and thanks for your work.
