Welcome back to the beginning. We're back here with Alfred North Whitehead we are in what we're doing, what we're doing is we are looking at the future through the eyes of a philosopher in the past. Yeah. And it is so intriguing and beautiful and amazing journey all through the eyes of the past. </p><p>I got to tell you, this is really something to reading these older books that are not fiction and they're not science fiction. And there are really not literature. They are the dialogs, the paper's the written correspondences of, of people in the past. There is something so visceral about it. And I hope all of you, we're getting a chance to get out of this. What I get out of it, let's dive right back in here and you can actually, hopefully you can get a sense of what I have been getting a sense of. </p><p>And again, these are just the dialogues of Alfred North Whitehead and they were taken or written down over the course of about 20 years or 30 years. So let's, let's jump right back into it here. Again, I'm going to just kind of go through some excerpts that I've highlighted, stopping every now and then to give you a sense of what I think about it. And hopefully allowing you a few moments to do a little mental exercise with me and see what you think about it. </p><p>So that being said, I just jumped right back in here from the book. I raised the question why the creation of an artwork exhausts the experience for his creator, but is infinitely potent have repeated stimulations in the enjoyer. Perhaps you said it is because of all human effort is directed towards the achievement of an end, whether it is satisfied or not. </p><p>And the artists in, although never quite the result he hoped for is largely attained. And therefor finished for him to a point in which he ends is where the enjoyer begins. That's an interesting way to look at it. Wha
