    This is top tier analysis. You’ve been on top form these last several vids. The structure you built to riff on madness and transition from Foucault to McCarthy is so clean. Got to rewatch them all and dive deep soon

    I always thought it was possible that Judge Holden’s bald head was a reference to Foucoult’s look

    ...."when meaning and virtue start to disappear in art, what that does is create internal reflection." I'm keeping that quote, thank you!

    11:50 - 12:05 All of this reminds me of Patchface from Game of Thrones.

    Very cool, i will now give Foucault a try. Love your dives, Ian. Always bring up rich treasures to meditate on.

      For sure check him out. He is great! He has some wacky ideas but is one of the more readable and actionable post-modernists.

      Thanks! Feel like this is one of my better on Cormac. However, there are. better ones earlier in the channel about random books/authors no one cares about lol

    Seems like you were on hiatus for a while. Glad you're making videos again.

      Dropping daily for the foreseeable future! I also have a crazy plan to post 20 times a day, but we will see if that works out lmao. Gotta put out more volume if I want to create a literature revolution.

    What is the name or that sweet, sweet painting. Many of the things you said are above my head, but I’m interested, and it’s time to do research. Thanks, I really appreciated it though.

    Top. Your videos feel like a whetstone to one's wit

    @11:00 don't confuse neurological damages with mysticism, they're not the same. Madness has many forms and causes, not all are terrific and insightful, some we should work hard at remedying my dude (I've got one of them - thankfully not the Anton Chigurh kind, almost the opposite). Some that are pathological can be remedied with a bit of community and kindness too, probably don't need a lot of the medications (bit of a scam industry sometimes).

      Yeah the problem is it’s all incredibly complicated

      Good point! Someone with a severe disorder most of the time doesn't have an avenue to transmute that disorder into personal development lol.

    Excellent video, you found a new subscriber here. After reading blood Meridian a few months back I've been going through the McCarthy catalog, so I'll look forward to seeing some of your other videos as I do.
    Jordan Petersons lumping together post modernism with "neo Marxism", let alone his ascribing post modernism with some sort of cohesive values system is infuriating beyond belief. You're absolutely right that he is tainting the term. Although I doubt it matters much. Only shallow thinkers would latch onto such a shallow celebrity. So fuck em', I guess. I doubt they were going to read anything more than "12 rules" anyway.
