Video

Best viedeo on this topic I've seen. You clarified so many things I was struggling with while reading the original text. It would be cool if you made a video explaining the main concepts from this video using modern examples. Thanks!

The video editing 🤌🤌

I had that feeling once, twenty-five years ago. Hasn’t stopped.

A profound issue about this constructivist claim is knowability is by language. Obviously I know these conversants by this video. So isn’t the video more real than the words? So language ‘constructs’ us which is nebulous, meaning the physics of the claim is ‘unknowable’. But back to the video because the video is a single pathway, the video doesn’t reflect the nouns and verbs of the language. But we really know the verbs. I’d apply these obvious comments to Butler’s claims.

David's finger nails... Is he alright?

Thanks, Ms . Anderson... ALLOT!

...is she going fully red?! does it match transcendentally?

Social constructivism seems to me to emerge from a neoliberal milieu. One way to think about a linguistic ‘turn’ is to ask how real are words? So when we construct AI text is the wording real? People have skills about talking to each other to get the ‘true’ or real meaning versus fantasy or psychosis. So a language in a linguistic analysis has a ‘real’ component but has many issues of not just unreal, but ‘antireal’ usage meaning to me we are aware realism doesn’t achieve some real goals and we need to acknowledge such unreality as well using language with other people socially well done.

Alain Badiou, fed up with his compatriots’ obsession with bodies and language (il n’ y a que des corps et des langages) states with aplomb: il y a aussi la verité (there is also truth) in his “Logiques des Mondes ». And he sets out to investigate truth in four worlds: the world of politics, science, art and love. The moment of truth it seems is to be found in revolution, scientific discovery, masterpiece and the erotic encounter. In each one of those he even specifies the affect: enthusiasm, joy, delight and happiness!

Regarding the role of language in knowing the external, objecive world, It can be argued that the linguistic and conceptual practices of 17th century mechanics may have played a constituting role in the formation of the concept of inertia. But, it does not follow from this that they constituted inertia itself. Inertia existed before its conceptualization and before the development of language by human beings and even before the appearance of human beings on earth. Such everyday practices as discovering one has made a mistake, learning how to read or to listen to music (recognizing that ‘noise’ as ‘a quartet by Bartok’), changing one’s mind, persuading and being persuaded, rely on the possibility of learning to apply new descriptions to things and processes previously described in different ways. But this presupposes relevant identities of external references.

I want to read the article now. Please correct me if I got the wrong Idea from the video. I know Descartes is known for the subject-object separation to produce knowledge through reason, and from what I'm getting from the video is that he can't fully separate himself from the act of imagination. I feel that there is recursive dialect happening between reason and imagination in his Meditation essay, that he can't fully grasp or acknowledge. Maybe reason and imagination are not a dichotomy. Also, I really like the idea that the material and linguistic or symbolic have a recursive relation, it's constructivist approach that is not essentialist, in the way that essentializes language as the only way to view the world and the body. This talk about post-structuralism in relation on how discourse shapes the world is really interesting. I really like Arturo Escobar's take on how the creation of the concept of development help shape a whole area of political economy in relation of how countries set their goals on what they want to achieve. His book "Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World" is really fascinating, because even though Butler is talking about the embodiment in an intra-interpersonal sense (that impacts the institutional and systemic); Escobar is taking the idea of discourse and it's impact to the institutional and the systemic aspect and how that shapes the personal (intrapersonal and interpersonal, in a community and local sense).

समझ नहीं आया पर सुनकर अच्छा लगा

Guys, you need the microphone in front of your faces!!

the whole thing about "memory being transfered into paper" made me think of how we store memory digitally now, in chatrooms or in services by youtube hosting videos, etc. it's strange to think that this is both a separation and an extension of our bodies; i'd feel like i lost a limb if the concrete memories of friends or artwork put on the internet was lost.

Fascinating discussion! Have got hold of a copy of the book to read the essay myself.

Feeling infinitely stupid after listening to the discussion.

Hi all, Descartes has always seemed to me to be both a scientist and a philosopher since he sought out to test his ideas about a phenomenon which others too could test. I love Butler's inclusion of the body as a sort of triumphant victor over (or with) language because it sticks around to behold it as a teamplayer. As to a scientific way of understanding that, I would think that it would interest linguists to test this, and to go even beyond that, for a future show, I would love to hear about where philosophical and scientific discoveries meet and work as a team. May I suggest a combination of physics/linguistics and philosophy as an interdisciplinary topic for a future show? Thanks a bunch!

The sound is awful

Anxiety or anguish?

Ellie is quite ignorant to claim race is not passed down by blood.

You make an interesting reference to flirtation, disapproved by Kierkegaard. Is this disapproval due to the fact that flirting exploits the ambiguity of promises - the difference between someone being promising and someone making a promise? In that case, flirtation is the saboteur of the cherished commitment. In so far as we value reliability and relative predictability, it is inevitable that flirtation - the consciously or unconsciously production of uncertainty - will be experienced at best as superficial and at worst as cruel! Noted Adam Philips.

What is the citation for this passage? I’m curious to read the surrounding context

I still find it difficult to take moral queues from a teacher who repeatedly had sexual affairs with her underage students. It's downright hilarious she's popular among the same people who will dismiss other ideas for coming from a perceived problematic source. Apparently being a white man is worse than being a predator on too young girls through a skewed power dynamic.

You have a very important and great channel here.... Friendly greetings....

Materialist modern world's people think that science can explain everything... However, this is very wrong because science is just knowledge of materials... Not knowledge of material's nature...(ding an sich)... Philosophy can explain material's nature.. And art is knowledge of ideas... For this reason, art and philosophy are more important than science... Greetings and best regards....

Very important video, thank you.. People must realize again importance of art and philosophy..... Greetings....

👁️🙌✨👏🏽👏🏼

Let it be!

Does the collective paranoia (referenced early in the conversation with Dr. McAfee) necessarily manifest due to a latent collective trauma, or is it possible that the paranoia is created by a structural lack within the symbolic order? Tend to see the latter as a more accurate point of constructive political activity within social desire, though recognize the former as an effect of the latter through history.

What is the book about Hawaii prof. Anderson was referring to? Would love to know!

I suspect this video is generated by AI

got my gf to start listening to overthink :)

Awesome video! Super helpful!

Thank you! I just discovered your podcast and it's amazing! What about Deleuze's idea that philosophy is the creation of concepts?

Kant was the worst thinker.

jesus christ that richard gere story HAHAHAHA

This is a channel with around 130K subscribers, which usually gets 2-3% of views. Only a few like this one get a "100%". No idea about the reasons (Merleau-Ponty can't be "CZcamsable" than the others), only some intuitions.

He thought that the best thing is to deny the will. There is no good in all of the strivings of the human will. We are living in a nightmare spectacular.

Gosh, I must be related to this guy😊 Very good breakdown, of the deep and somewhat dark material for us brain-dead, but eager to learn folk👍

I agree with the comments below, but wanted to join in; absolutely amazing and astonishing how well you explain these complex concepts! Thank you!

Philosophy just makes life more unsettling and no direction to follow.

Guy Debord - Social Media

Also you can't just jump into the raw text with Derrkda. I would spend a few weeks just watching lectures online of real college courses on philosophy explaining it to you first. Derrida is not a DIY thpe of thinker to grasp.

They say its the best, oh yeah that guy, I bet you he is the Best.

Interesting video! A question though: how do men have the larger selection of partners? If men want to date women who are younger and less socio-economically successful than they are, and women want to date men who are older and more socio-economically successful, don’t both genders have have equal amounts of selection, the difference being that men start with fewer options than women when young but that flips with increasing age? This analysis only applies to higher class people. There ofc men will have more selection bc they don’t mind dating “down” but women would (more so than men). Wouldn’t the solution be here to encourage women to be open to dating down? And men to dating up?

Fatphohia seems connected with Nietzsche's insight that after the death of God, health has taken on a divine status. We live in a bizarre world where health is deified and morally subscribed to in such a way that the good life has been replaced with the sheer duration of life. Being fat implies an immoral position towards health and a damnable personal failure in our bootstrapped world.

If someone who had a bachelors degree in philosophy were independently wealthy and had an excellent worth ethic, would they be better off spending the next 5-8 years independently studying philosophy from academic journals or texts (or whatever happens to align with their field of interest) or going to grad school? Grad school gives guidance but it also gives a lot of extra coursework and teaching duties.

Shame that actual human biology and actual sex differences do not seem to bother post-materialist Butler. The inability to accept that both biology and culture (i.e. objective reality, the psychological impacts of that reality and the cultural interpretation of that reality) lead to the meaning in society of man and woman is the fundamental flaw of gender studies as it remains within the post-materialist space. It would benefit so much with actually engaging with historical materialism as much of what passes for critical theory would.

Thanks for the absolutely insightful video! As a mathematician i actually realise that the tips for reading philosophy in the video actually share quite many similarities with reading maths.

You nailed it
