    Yes! Kierkegaard is one of my fav philosophers!

    No wonder Kierkegaard wrote so much about anxiety
  • @user-nq9gz4xf7f
    No wonder kierkegaard died young, a pyramid of sugar dissolved by poured coffee and entered in his stomach already rich with sherry
  • @javierramos3538
    40 to 50 cups! Absolutely crazy. Definitely interested in more Kierkegaard content. Really enjoying this channel!

    Dont know if thats unusual, but i take a big mug, put one coffee spoon of instant coffee and one spoon sugar and pour just 1cm of hot water into it, stear it and fill up the rest of the mug with cold milk.. 😅
