Where There Was No Path - King Arthur and the Western Way
One of the founding myths of western civilization is that of the Arthurian Romances. In this video I discuss what makes these myths so unique and why they are so important. If you are interested in learning more about myths you might want to consider reading Joseph Campbell’s The Hero With A Thousand Faces. The link for his book, as well as others that Campbell wrote about mythology, is below:

I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold and I'm a fan of individualism over collectivism and was born in 1985 in Oregon and was a freelance English Teacher for 5 years in Vietnam where they are as you said in this video as part of an organ which is good to an extent for collaboration, teamwork, survival when times are tough, economically, financially, geographically.
But individualism is a key factor in capitalism and seems to motivate and work better, so far, than socialism, communism. One must take a unique path, to learn to ask questions and to figure out how to make choices individually because why not and because it is better that way for a lot of reasons. I like King Arthur.... and the Jedi or very smart people sure can give us advice, proverbs, wisdom, as in a path, a guide, but it is better if we still do our best to apply it to our lives perhaps.... but we shouldn't really do things out of fear or peer pressure as they may do in the East. That is what @stefan.molyneux talks about. I like your username, @angrybeaver. Yeah, beavers are funny but smart and wise in how they build their dams, their water homes. I'm Oatmeal because I eat oatmeal.
