Overcoming Camera Shyness and Sharing Philosophical Insights

In this candid video, I share my struggles with speaking on camera, explaining why I prefer writing to express my thoughts clearly. Despite teaching students daily, I get nervous and tongue-tied in front of a camera, which I’m working to overcome. I also discuss my upcoming articles, inspired by my students’ ideas and grounded in Spinoza’s ethics and Martin Butler’s negative philosophy. The articles cover topics like the brain’s categorization processes, coping with job loss, and resisting others’ projections to define your own life’s purpose. Join me as I navigate these challenges and share insights from psychology and philosophy. This is a public episode.
