I believe writing is important. Putting pen to paper and setting your thoughts in order not only helps you the writer, but it might help an unexpected reader some time in the future.
Be brave. Write in your books.

As I read through her books, I always smile when I see a thought she had scribbled down. It's a way of staying connected and close to her even though she isn't her. It's a dialogue with the past and I appreciate every scribble and highlighted sentence that I read.

A little over a year ago, my fiancée, Mohabat, passed away. She had an extensive book collection and I was able to rescue most of the books that she cherished. Mohabat did not have the same opinion on writing in books that I had. Her books contain lots of notes and thoughts that she had as she read.

I won't link any of the channels here as I don't want to increase their view count, but I will post some screenshots of the type of content they make.

Is this simply the new way to try and make money on YouTube? To try and farm an income off of people seeking to improve themselves? I worry that this is the perfect target audience if you are looking to manipulate and change people's views on the world...

Watching an AI generated video on topics that you don't understand, without even realising that they are AI... it doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

I am not strictly against the idea of using AI to understand the works of philosophers and psychologists, but at least if you are the one using the AI, you should be aware that the content will have mistakes.

Of course, it's highly possible that this isn't specific to Jung and that I am just not aware of the videos that I am not aware of...

Anyway, why Jung? And why now? And why do they all have such a similar voice?

To their credit, the tone of the voice sounds too perfect for this style of content, which was the first AI red flag for me.

I know that this kind of content should be expected in the current time that we all live, but it seems odd to me just how similar in style and content they are.
