He has the deadpan shtick down for sure from a comedy perspective.

I just watched this.

@Wilhelm44 I think Jim is saying there both is and is not a self.

Actually I think he is saying there both is and is not time.

Jim seems to be similar to Eckhardt Tolle. He's emphasizing the now. But he is doing it in a much more philosophically rigorous way. The now is important for artistry because all art is created in the now.

But he has a wicked laugh though, he's social. He makes it fun, even though he is attacking everything anyone says lol.

The video is hilarious. It shows a lot about men and women can differ.

I would feel frustrated pushing back on everyone all the time like he needs to correct everyone.

For real?

So you don't feel awakening is possible or legitimate? What is awakening to you?

What I mean to say, probably clearer, is that most people don't trust their own artistry.

It is generally taboo to state that you or I have awoken, so many people try to not do this. To do this putting yourself out there for real takes a lot of courage, let's not deny this.

Guitar is the common one. How long before I get good at playing guitar? This is amazing here in terms of fast development, I don't know if it is folklore or not, but it is commonly said: "Charlie Parker practiced between 11 and 15 hours a day for a period of three to four years to master the saxophone."

This is similar to the question how long does it take to get really good at playing a musical instrument. For me the first few years were the best, and then the last 6 or 7 years has been a slow integration.

Is the inverse of cold approach where you don't even try and people approach you for conversation?

Artistry is fundamentally misunderstood IMO.

I like the attention to detail in the texture.

Lol. I love it!

This looks delicious, I'm going to attempt to make this.

Is cold approach like cold calling in sales basically?

Some people do have this tendency, they are very particular in wanting things to be a certain way.

I think you made a great one liner here!
