Dec 5, 2011 - A deep person should feel moderate empathy, a shallow person would only focus on the bravado because their short shortsightedness can't comprehend the message being said. We are just two people with ideas, not constrained to morality without explanation. The body is a prison, but the mind is free.

Tolstoievsky Says:

Dec 5, 2011 - because logic and reason are based on really strict frameworks that have been ingrained upon you from conception, now i'm not saying they are bad, it's just not what freedom means

Dec 6, 2011 - This would have been a more effective and significant without the stupid theatrics.

Dec 7, 2011 - Tony should be talking in front of these people, not Horowitz.

jollyZOLLIE Says:

Dec 8, 2011 - It was like this guy wanted to be an actor and some how wound up as a prison philosophy teacher. It'd be a cool twist if he actually was Tony.

SchleyFam1 Says:

Dec 9, 2011 - it wasnt that good. i want to know more about tony and his life in prison. is he learning to make better decisions? is he a better person? i hope hes doing good things. because it'd be tragic to hear hes in the hole for killing someone. than all the philosophy in the world from him was bs. tell us more!

Dec 13, 2011 - freedom has different meanings to different people. if u don't have "really strict frameworks" in music theory then music will be chaotic & very painful to listen to, its been done. the same goes with society - strict frameworks are what allow freedom to thrive in the 1st place. rules & regulations can bring "musical harmony", opportunities that otherwise wouldn't have surfaced etc. the more "free" freedom, isn't freedom at all because discomfort&pain are core to it.

Dec 16, 2011 - You can rob a bank, only with a bank you can rob people and the world.Watsup scumba9, you not know that the biggest problem causers and abusers are the degenerates who masquerade as righteous when in fact they are the most criminal. They benefit the most from a crony system of corrupt legal order they support, brainwashing the masses to scare them into believing in false doctrine of bullshit knowledge that gets them doing the dirty work like total dumb fuck drones.

mindnumber9 Says:

Dec 16, 2011 - what makes you think it's okay to mouth off at me? seriously.

Tolstoievsky Says:

Dec 17, 2011 - and that is precisely why true freedom can never come from within a society. regulations and harmony are extremely desirable for any group of people, but freedom? in this context it is merely just a buzzword

floppycooldog Says:

Teamo86 Says:

Jan 10, 2012 - I love this. When people to asked me what philosophy is, I used to respond somethink like "well it's the love of wisdom" or "we do philosophy when we examine a matter from the ground up to have complete understanding of it". Now I can just tell them to watch this vid

Teamo86 Says:
