Recently became a Patreon and I think this is a great idea. Good first one, and I’m curious to see what will come next!!

Can and can’t wait for the VisionPro 8K AI version of this video

What a smart guy but god I can’t stand these pessimistic ass postmodernists. Grow up and go join a union Derrida

Really excellent video. Never read any Sartre but now I feel like I could pretentiously mention him in a conversation. Concise and accessible love it!

So long story short communism sucks

But didn’t Lenin and the bolsheviks also murder innocents? Just because they disagreed with them? That doesn’t seem like I’d follow something so evil and hypocritical

Does anyone know the name of the song in the last five minutes of the video?

Is this an re-upload? In all seriousness this feels almost a decade out of date.

Thank you for this video. This was a very interesting take and really well done.

all left-wing politics are predicated on the basis of a slave morality.

I suppose this makes sense if you ignore all the terrorist acts committed by Antifa and BLM over the past 10 years. Also BLM and Antifa attacked, and murdered, their fellow citizens. While Jan. 6th protestors targeted the capital (the seat of the corrupt government). You praise anti-government coalitions of the 70s, but somehow think the Jan. 6th protests were "right wing extremists attacking vulnerable groups."

You're imagining this what the fuck are you talking about?

ok but which barbie are you?

This whole period completely legitimizes the Marxist Leninist conceptions of how the student movement, adventurist terrorism, and the Social Revolutionary idea of "heroes vs the crowd", all have serious limitations without organized and Principled Communist leadership which can help to lead spontaneous and student movements into broadening these struggles and gaining mass support needed to carry out actual revolution

9:46 "The correlate of a future that will not arrive is a past that won't disappear." Real shit.

Short form videos are nice!

When the personality disordered find an excuse to commit violence & pretend heroism at the same time

social construction is a fake , nothing , lies from woke agenda....

Left cannot be tyrants, left cannot be bad. Right?right? Right??

But do you have Simpsons video essay?

But who would win in a fight, Sartre or Heidegger?

Video discussing deep philosophical ideas. "I will now refer you to Sonic Adventure 2"

That’s cause only white surpremist get charged.

you dont never miss

I think that for a society not to be hypocritical, it has to do one of two things. Either, embrase Christian/humanist ethics and guarantee everyone the inherent right to a decent dignified existence. The other is to abandon Christianity all together for a form of capitalist paganism, which means the abandonment of the mere concept of fraternal societal bonds, of social responsibility and the mass building suicide boofs like in futurama (by the free market, of course).

You're point about profitability isn't quite on the nose from what I can tell, although its important and feels right at times. "Companies know that their product will be bought .... even if they suck" This is short sighted thinking. That's not to say it doesn't happen, cause holy shit it does, but in the long term, this is sometimes (often?) not what builds profit or wealth. These products and firms loose money, relative to what they could have made from a quality product. IDK if I can put links in CZcams comments these days? but there are companies that show this over the long term. This isn't to defend the efficient market hypothesis - the above lesson might repeat over and over again, and human psychology may or may not figure it out. But it cannot be argued that a low quality product always or even often generates greater profits in the long term, so it stands on shaky ground to say that markets in and of themselves will cause this inexorably.

i wonder how many people that hate being seen feel that way because they are trans and closeted

When Dark Knight came out I was living in Chicago and everyone I knew related to Joker

I do think the pessimistic view is a bit onesided, that contact with other people doesn't just constrain but also enable us, even enable us to understand ourselves better. But what you call the "Marxist" view is I think even less complete, with the revolution taking on an almost religious role of total salvation which resolves all contradictions. I'm a socialist, but even under socialism, people would not just magically all think as one mind. We aren't trying to build a cult here, folks.

wow seeing young lithuanians who dont swallow the chode of western-imposed propaganda is a rare sight. I personally had middle school classmates who were die hard forest brothers worshiping patriots, that tucked in their tails once they grew up and got f***ed by this government's policies in this sh**hole of a country. And then you have fresh batch of high schoolers every year parroting the same thing my classmates did, thus the cycle never ends

was in tears by the end. truly despite it all, there will be a way forward.

I wonder if the hit video game dishonored was intentionally referencing this key hole subject thing

"Hell is other people."

Well, to paraphrase the great Oscar Wilde: "There is only one thing worse than being objectified... and that's being totally fucking ignored by everyone."

I'm genuinely confused by the push back on Sam insistence that well-being is the inherent aim of morality. You mentioned Kant and his appeal to the "moral law" but what value does any of that have if it doesn't eventually lead to well-being? What else could we be talking about? A point harris makes and that I think many academic philosophers seem to avoid taking seriously is that from the vantage point of non-philosophers, the field has largely lost the plot. Philosophers love to dunk on Harris but don't acknowledge that they're doing so because he's so popular....and he's so popular because they are terrible at making moral philosophy accessible.

An excellent snapshot of Sartre, and a topic that happened to be particularly relevant to me today. Great work! I definitely appreciate shorter videos, full encouragement from me to continue making them.

Why are you a man who claims to be a marxist using Nietzschian elitism to justify your bad takes on trans pepole??

I agree with the other comments saying it's not wholly one thing or the other - yes we do lose some freedom when others are looking at us and we (have to?) care about what they think of us, yes this is can be made worse when we feel alienated from each other in the ways capitalism affects our lives. But we will never be free of this dread of what other people think unless people get cool with a lot of stuff. Ask anyone of any marginalized identity. Ask a Black man how he feels about racism causing people to perceive him as frightening and threatening. Ask a woman how she feels about our patriarchal culture expecting her to be quiet and submissive and ignorant, and the retaliation she encounters when she's not. Ask a disabled person who resists using a cane or other mobility device in our ableist culture, for fear of being perceived as "broken" or "inferior". Ask an autistic person who is VIVIDLY familiar with "shit other people are watching, try to behave like an allistic person" and still fails and is ostracized for being indescribably "weird". Ask all the left-handed people throughout Western history being punished for not being right-handed, having to pretend to be right-handed, or else they'd be accused of being evil. Bigotries like these were here before capitalism got here, and they won't go away if capitalism goes away. People who are scared will always look for a concrete thing to be scared of. People who crave power always need a scapegoat.

Once while I was in college, my studio professor grilled us with the question "Does a margarita taste better next to a live palm tree? Does a margarita taste better next to a fake palm tree, too? Or does the cheap imitation of the palm tree annoy you?" Another class was probably trying to teach us Deleuze and dozens of other philosophers at this time, but I was perpetually frustrated with that class. So I wish I could have understood the precedent behind my impulse to vigorously argue in favor of the "fake" palm tree as much as the "real" one. The fake one can light up! Be different colors! If you're enjoying it, then hell yeah a margarita can seem to taste better next to a manmade palm tree. The palm tree was my drum machine, and I didn't even realize it at the time. College is truly wasted on sleep-deprived stressed-out teenagers and twentysomethings.

No one understands post modernism. It’s purposefully nonsense. Clearly YOU are a total idiot. . .step by step.

You saved me today

Sarte the P3d0 philosopher.

Neuromania is dumb It leads to peopole saying dumb things like gender being a biological and neurological phenomena instead of the observed Neolithic social construct It is, and I agree that Sam Harris does not understand philosophy or the is ought gap but please stop trying to make the idea of qualia reasonable none the less its not a real think marry the color theorist knows everything about Red in the proposition stop being so post modern you ignore critical thinking ❤❤❤❤And also why the Kant simping?! The fucker was a mad virgin who wanted death for all gays and unlawfully born children, he thought prisoners should be killed, his idealism and his unfalsifiable propositions about the phenomenal noumenal are very dumb and platonist bullshit...

i guess only ugly people think about this stuff

why did it take me 25 years on this earth to realize this though? was I just so self absorbed? now i cringe knowing this and can barely function

I feel happy. Metaphorically speaking there are two boxes in life a happiness box and a sadness box. Why choose the sadness box if you can choose the happiness box?

This is just the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Nails Baudrillard, drops the second r in Sartre.

I form opinons about you.

wooow. I have not yet understand about the Medusa.Great!
