Hey @barge 😎

Exquisite job on your description of the confusion programs!

I'm about halfway through watching/listening to the series for the second time now, so I think it's safe to say this really greased intellectual gears. I think he has another series as well on his channel that I've yet to delve into.

One can look at a tree and break the perception of it down into components..

Perfect analogy. I really loved how you described the correlation between perception of the big picture (as illusion) when magnifying the intricacies down to the singular components.

With brave, even ruthless logic, Markus shares the output of what he has discovered as an 'ordinary' person whose questioning led to an overthrowing of 'Reality'.

Yes! Markus was rather brave and confident in his delivery, and at times, perhaps even a bit biased and opinionated, but given what he experienced with "licensing" (yet another interesting concept in the series) and losing his birds, I don't blame him a single bit. He speaks in terms of the birds being "property", but I sensed it was to maintain context, that he may have had an actual connection with the birds, and this is likely what sparked the deep questions of what he felt to be extreme violation of his (personal?) intrinsic human rights.

I really can't think of a better reference to the Goethe quotation either, it fits perfectly within the context.

Thank you for the shout out/acknowledgment, as well as the epic write up, and easy access categorization of the series. I'm sure Markus would be happy to know he's made an impact in the lives of other's.

Much love brother! 😊✌️
