Next up; (Patreon)

Next up is going to be an interesting project. I'm going to revisit the concepts of sacred spaces and fantasies of ultimate purpose in the context of one of the most popular video games of all time: Skyrim. Now, this is not so much going to be an in-depth and specific game review, rather it will be an exploration of nostalgia, the comfort of escapism, and our longing for a meaningful universe. In that sense, the core of the essay will be applicable to other popular games, films and stories, but I want to use Skyrim as a sort of case study because I think it best exemplifies these deeper human desires.

I also have a special announcement, because in April I'll be uploading an additional 8(!) videos to the channel. I've been experimenting with YouTube shorts, the <1 minute videos in vertical format, which has resulted in a limited series of 8 somewhat serialized videos on stoic philosophy. Stoicism already tends to be presented in shorter reflections, so I figured the newly added YouTube shorts would be an interesting format to give you something to think about in smaller doses 2 times a week. I will not post those videos here, so you won't be charged or spammed to death, but you'll see them appear on the channel soon enough :)
