Hey guys, what do you think about a remake of the old Intro to Philosophy series as graphical fun videos, i.e. hand drawn or rendered that can be voiced over in any language? Do you know any artists who can help with drawing? We can start with one to get some feedback. Thanks!

Hey guys, one more freedom lover from the southern tax farm of Brazil/São Paulo here. I figured from the meetup groups (or lack thereof) that there aren't many philosophers who share the green and yellow pride to be born inside these meltingly hot imaginary lines of nice asses and great food... I have been listening to FDR for about 8 months. The first time i've ever listened to Stefan was in November of 2013 from then on i have just fallen in love with philosophy and the pursuit of virtue in my own life instead of talking about the fed on dinners with people who abused me as a child. It was incredible to realise the numbness to my own experience of verbal and phisical abuse that was branded on my soul and the how it has affected me both psychologically and medically (I was diagnosed with ADHD, Social Fobia and became obese due to trying to leave my reality through food) even before and right after i was born, since my father smoked like a chimney around me and my pregnant mother (probable reason for my ADHD) and my mom refusing to breastfeed me after 4 months of age because, in her own words, "i had other things to do" even though she was a "stay at home Stalin" as i like to describe. And with FDR i could break free emotionally of the vampire gang i once called "family" and definately will break the cicle of violence on regards to my future companion and children for that i am immensely thankful for Stefan, the FDR crew and everyone who made FDR possible. Even though i cannot contribute in a financial way due to me being a student and to the fact that the total sum of the BR currency is worth about 10g of used toilet paper, i try to bring as many people as possible to the show on the internet as a hole. I am also interested in Veganism, Computer Science, Software development and entrepreneurship. I believe that's it for my introduction to this great community, i believe it's going to be an awesome experience to be a part of this incredible conversation.

My name is Dax. Not really but If my real name is important I can bring that to bare at a later time. I am interested in a wide variety of topics and have recently been swamped with time to research whatever I would like, and after a few 15 minute sessions over at khanacademy and listening to several videos and reading a couple of books. I am at least here. What happens next is anyone's guess. I am very new to some of the material but some of the premises behind the arguments are very well done, and I hope to contribute and learn.

I got here via youtube:-, the story of our enslavement

Hello, I can't imagine too many people read these, but hi! I am new! Though I don't have big opinions or interests in philosophy or politics, psychology and self-knowledge have been areas of my interest for awhile. I'm hoping through the forums I can share and engage on ideas and experiences, as I'm not getting a ton of options for that in my physical life. Thanks!
