And so as soon as I started being a successful student and I bring home a report card, instead of saying, well, good on you, little guy, he'd say, who do you think you are?

You know, and it would hit me partly philosophically, like, well, that's a good question.

But I thought you would have something to say about it, Dad.

But no, it was really his envy.

And later on, he would say to me, I had this dream and I've never lived the dream.

And I've seen that with, I saw that in teachers.

And so the trick is to stay in touch with the dream of one's life.

And in my case, I didn't know it, but the dream has to do with dreams.

It has to do with mythos.

So, you know, like the ancient Greeks would always have things in pairs.

And one of the essential pairs was logos, which is logic, reasoning.

And it's equal opposite mythos, which is... Is it Viktor Frankl?

Yes.

Yes.

And you get logic from that and reasoning.

And we live in a world where people pretend it's reasonable.

It has not.

It gets less and less reasonable every day.

Things don't make sense anymore.

When things don't make sense, the most sense is in mythological sense.
