  • Helpful and Intriguing

    Andrew does a great job of taking abstract philosophical concepts like beauty (I.e., aesthetics) and making them into something we can more easily grasp and ponder.

This was a helpful distinction for me, and it opened up a whole new category in my thinking of what makes something truly beautiful. Thank you and keep up the great work... more

Obviously no one can change their speech easily, but I find myself wanting to listen on .75 time. Cheer... more
