Examined Life

We watched this after recording one night; it was really good. Cornel West's segment was the most fun, but all of the segements were interesting. It's always exciting for me to see philosophical questions overlaid on everyday life, and the movie did a good job of that.

I wish there'd been a segment of someone talking about whether a person has a duty to cultivate his or her natural talents, and how far it's right to take that pursuit.

It was inspiring to watch, though, and for me a good reminder of the fundamental reasons I'm in a band in the first place.
