OK, I've listened through the 1 hour mark on the video that was also at sott.net. It is June the 16th day of the 23rd year per present day calendar sensibilities. I don't know if I will watch the rest of the video, but I'm gonna pick out 3 of the 4 numbers typed above and read from that page from the "Forest Passage" book. Why not - this has some uncertainty to it. Now the book is not that long, I don't think it even has more than 200 pages, so the page number I choose to maximize my chance of actually reading something from a page in the book is: ???

"Here is another objection to consider: Should we count on catastrophe? Should we - if only intellectually - seek out the most distant waters, the cataracts, the maelstroms, the great abysses?"

Well - sorry if this question has already been discussed, but I can answer it: Yes and no. It just depends on context of the situation. So that answer could logically be considered a "qualitative yes", but there are some abysses, most don't emerge from....so - there is that to consider.
