Deep thoughts. We're not going to go that deep usually in five-minute fatherhood guys.

0:02.9

But today I just thought, let's do it because I've been pondering that one for a bit.

0:10.8

What's up, guys? Welcome to Five-Minute of Fatherhood. So, Jeff, I want to have a five-minute

0:15.3

philosophical conversation with you. Go really deep in five minutes. I just have noticed something and I've read something

0:23.5

and I'm really kind of teasing it out. I'm just going to get a reaction to this. So,

0:27.4

so mythologically, archetypally, philosophically, there is something about big scale systems

0:36.1

that represent kind of almost a archetypal father. So like this could be

government. And this is not a critique, by the way.

1:46.0

This is an observation that there's something that inside the heart of a daughter

1:51.0

that really wants to serve a father and that what, where does a woman go who's experiencing

2:00.0

their daughterhood at a deep level, but they can't engage their father?

2:05.3

And so I've just seen this, I've noticed it over and over and over again, and I've noticed a lot recently, and it keeps coming up, and I just keep having this thought.
