monmontalk : critical thinking & reasoned ideas - Invidious

monmontalk : critical thinking & reasoned ideas

Inspired by the Japanese "mon-mon": the restless, questioning, yearning spirit that refuses to accept easy answers.

📌 This channel follows critical thinking and philosophical ideas beyond the modern age—asking not just how to live today, but how humanity has endured—and might endure tomorrow. Think not just in moments, but in centuries.

✨ What you’ll find here:
・ Wide-angle journeys into history, culture, and philosophy
・ Meditations on freedom, futility, beauty, and the bittersweetness of being
・ From teen’s first questions to the timeless dilemmas of existence

✨ A river runs through it—the flowing river never stops, and yet the water is never the same water as before. No one ever steps in the same river twice—for it is not the same river, and they are not the same souls.
