A review of A Guide for the Perplexed - by E.F. Schumacher Part 2

Thank you for support! Puppy joins me at the end of this video!

Schumacher describes four fields of knowledge:
1 - What do I feel like?
2 - What do you feel like?
3 - What do I like like?
4 - What do you look like?

"Without self-awareness, i.e. without a consciousness that is conscious of itself, man merely imagines that he is in control of himself, that he has free will and is able to carry out his intentions. In fact, as Ouspensky would put it, he has no more freedom to form intentions and act in accordance with them than has a machine. Only in occassional moments of self-awareness has he such freedom, and his most important task is by one means or another to make self-awareness continuous and controllable."
