I've remastered the audio and video material. The original audio has been compressed/re-EQ'd for maximum fidelity. Additionally I've applied HDR tools to the video, too. This is mirrored & shared strictly in the interest of public discussion, education, open debate and engaged conversation.

I humbly/happily propose a toast to 'all the clowns on all of the stages of the world'.

Either/Or: A Fragment of Life was published by Søren Kierkegaard in 1843, making it his first major work. It was written under the pseudonym Victor Eremita “Victorious Hermit”.

The book expresses the viewpoints of two distinct figures with radically different beliefs – the unknown aesthetic young man of Part One, called simply “A”, and the ethical judge of Part II, which he calls “B”.

The first part "Diapsalmata" contains some of Kierkegaard's most popular lines, such as the "unmovable chess piece", "the tragic clown", and "do it or don't do it, you'll regret it".

Kierkegaard was far more interested in making us think than in giving us answers. We are thus encouraged to decide for ourselves the merits of the various viewpoints presented.
