Fire sucks. Fuck fire
Never liked fire
My wife left me for fire đ„
đđđđ gotta put out those fires
@@AstraVex one night I caught my wife in bed with fire. Then the fire spread. There were no survivors. Fire fucked my wife, killed my family, and destroyed my house. Ever since then I've devoted my live to getting revenge on fire
"If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it, what are its pronouns?"
Tim/Ber
This is so good
I canât tell if I just laughed or barked
Holy crap this is amazing
I'm gonna steal this
This is one of the best things I've heard all day
tbh as soon as you said "keep your eyes on the couch" i immediately started looking for a man in a gorilla suit. i've been fooled too many times before
I love that everyone gets this reference
I was focused on the purple water bottle because I was certain it was going to change color

I have to wonder whether the person passing by in the background was intentional or not.
SAME!
"Basically ideologies are like assholes. Everyone's got one. We use it everyday, but you're very rarely look at your own, unless somethings gone wrong.." I lol so hard at this
That is DEF written by Zizek lmfao..đđ
I look at my ass hole regularly. How else will I know when to shave/bleach it?
notable exceptions may include: being a primary health physician, GAY, having certain sexual desires, chronic medical condition/medication side effects, hauntings of a previous âsomethingâs gone wrongâ, frequent taco bell visits, &/or being autistic with a special interest related to (specific?) human anatomy.
i just read it back imagining these traits all in one person & the inner turmoil that comes with being destined to forever being known as *the anal lord.* the one thatâs taunted by every excuse under the sun to make it shine just a little much more than the average person
"I refuse to be correct, the goal is to be wrong in interesting ways" oh I love this line, no one has ever said something like that near me. This channel is so refreshing. I just joined.. will be binging all videos in the next long weekend I get.
That's almost a citation from one of my favorite shows ("Bloch", it was a German TV show from 90s/00s, not unlike "House MD" but with a psychologist / therapist called Dr. Bloch instead of a medical doctor)
In one episode Bloch is asked: "you think you're always right, don't you?"
and he responds: "No. But I'm wrong in more interesting ways than others."
đ
That quote deserves to be immortalized and taught equally alongside all of the "great thinkers" presented on this channel.
While getting my philosophy degree, I would often describe philosophy as "not answering the question, but understanding the question".
"i will not be doing low hanging fruit jokes about lobsters"
"now lets take a look at the crispy outer shell"
yep đ
Peterson's lobstersona is a precious and smol bean and must be protected.
Ok, can somebody explain this to me? I don't really keep up with Peterson
Wait, lobsters donât have bones. Do lobsters have bones?
@@piedpiper1185 short form: Peterson famously claimed that wearing red lipstick is always, always a sign of sexual desire and effectively sexual harrassment against men, because "look at biology" and his example was lobsters being red. What he missed, because he's not a biologist, is that a lobster turns red when it has been boiled and is in fact very dead. It was a shining example of someone speaking with expertise in a field they do not have and saying something goofy and embarrassing, and thus became quoteable.
â5 people and a homeless man.â
As an American I can confirm that this is how politicians talk about homeless people.
There's a bill in Texas that will ban homeless people from camping in public places and will fine them $500 for doing so. So yeah. Homeless people are often not looked at as people.
@@jazzb3371
homeless people are treated as if they are homed people who are just being "degenerates". as if camping under a bridge is a choice they make and not something that have to do for survival, not that politicians or the police care about their survival..
@An On Through the wonderful math of ratio calculation can you show that there are more non-homeless people you better not to want to hang out with.
Of course, you have deep insights into the structure of that particular group, but you do just that what is said above. You judge them disconnected from all other people and only inside of their group. Is this valid? All the problems and illnesses you mentioned are not specific to this group of people.
But the accumulation of "bad behavior" or the drugs?. For example, what do you expect if you open a sales booth with dandruff shampoo. And for blonde people only for one dollar. Which people do you expect to gather there?
I do not want to belittle your experience or your report. But you cannot speak for everyone. That would also be problematic as homeless people rarely travel the world and collect statistics.
I think "homeless" is once again such a laziness term, since everything else is inadmissible and should be viewed as individual fates. The solution also needs more than generalizations. Namely money, money, money and social(workers).
Besides, definition is one of those things. For example, my country simply defined the gypsies as homeless. And since these were also viewed as worthless, they were simply killed.
That was the Nazis' solution. That can happen very quickly. In 10 years. There are quite some people these days who think that way. And which group is now defined as worthless? Blonde with dandruff?
Sorry for bringing up that shit from 80 years ago.
Stay healthy, warm and fit:)
I just came here to say this too. I đ when she said it.
when she said this i wanted to cackle but also sob
The Hermes/Mercury symbol in this beautiful makeup is one of my favorite. In botanical shorthand, it can be used to indicate a flower with both male and female parts, a condition in plants we call "perfect."
Astounding video, I'm a new fan.
Thanks for that insight! I was wondering what that means, but had no idea how to look it up.
â@drewsireI think what JP does is use symbolism as an infallible argument for/against something. This here ist just an easter egg.
â@drewsire who called anybody a nazi?
drewsireno, you said "you guys" which implies me or pot. anyone else in this thread.
I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking.
The real meaning behind it seems to be "you're not listening to me", with a spin put on to make it sound like not being listened to is some kind of an injustice being done to him, rather than a choice anyone else in the world has the agency and ability to make.
It's manipulative sort of language because the intended effect of all that is to make it seem like making the choice to ignore what this person has to say would put you morally in the wrong. And I wonder if, for some people, that effect would make a person saying phrases like "I'm being silenced" instead of "some people don't want to listen to me" more likely to seem like they're *right* regardless of what they're actually saying.
"I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking." -- No, but they may have the power to stop people hearing what Peterson has to say. For example, protesters at his talks. Peterson himself has been pretty effective at being heard, but there are plenty of people like him who have been silenced effectively because of their views.
@@jrd33 And what views are those?
@@LeBonkJordan I don't know, because they have been silenced. Typically, I am talking about people who are silenced because protestors think that what they are going to say will be racist/sexist/hateful to gays or trans people.
"Five people and a homeless man" was SUCH a concise way to show the way that people talk about poverty!
It was IMMACULATE.
Holy shit I didn't catch it, in my mother tongue that would've been immediately a standout, but in english just didn't
omg yes
My wife was sitting behind me while I was watching this and she immediately heard that and was trying to figure out what the heck I was watching like âdoes this person not think a homeless man is a person?â
I found out then that trying to describe PhilosophyTube is harder than youâd think.
I did a double-take on that one. Brilliantly insidious little detail.
âThat terrible fire took the lives of five people... and a homeless man.â
Itâs such an expected part of our culture, I didnât even get the joke on the first pass.
We should just exterminate all the homeless... Homeless problem solved đ€
@@MW-sv1dp Cut them in half, maybe?
@@50mt sure lol
I've heard everything from five people and two children... five people and a woman....but ya know objective truth and all...
@@50mt no, if you cut them in half, then there's going to be twice as many of them.
One day a friend of mine asked my mom (who is a psychologyst) what kind of psychologyst she was and she answered social, but she added something she had never told me before and made so much sense, she said something along the lines of "the point in social psychology is to understand that an advise isn't gonna work for everyone, the person who is depressed because they can't find a job to support their family isn't going to get better by breathing and cleaning their room, there's other kinds of implications" and I think thaat moment made so much sense on why I was raised in a way sociology was this interesting to me.
As a sociology major, amen!
What should that person do? Is organizing smaller parts of your life conflicting with improving your overall situation?
â @@alexanderstark5233 but the causes of their mental health problemas arenât having an unclean room, the causes are external from the individualâs responsability. In fact, having an unclean room is a consequence of those external problems, just a symptom. So, isnât depression and its symptoms just a natural response to a bigger problem thatâs intrinsic to the system?
@@alexanderstark5233its a skin deep solution for a deep-rooted issue. Depression doesn't go away through temporary bouts of productivity
â@@alexanderstark5233 The issue is, when an unclean room isn't the cause of the depression, it won't make you feel better. If you lack the energy to do it, telling someone that he has to only piles up more reasons for them to feel like a failure.
The mental health crisis is caused by our economic model. Peterson tries to pin it on individual failure and minorities getting rights, so nobody will critize the true cause.
As a cis male (and a former follower of the "manosphere") from a comparatively conservative country, your explanation of phenomenology and its application to the trans experience was amazing. All my life I have been looking for an explanation, or rather, a clarification to the experience of people I love and want to love truly without the bigotry that was ingrained in me. Your explanation was simple yet beautifully human. Thank you for that.
Are you talking about having biases against LGTBQ community?

"We civilised the Irish"
Thanks Abigail, had to explain this to my Irish mother walking past the door at that exact moment.
i'm so sorry
(in my best Maggie-as-the-Dowager voice) And yet the Irish rebels are so well born. Why are the Irish rebels so well born?
I am not Irish, and that moment made me want to shout "Tiocfaidh ĂĄr lĂĄ" in reponse.
To be clear, because I'm struggling with my history here, this is in relation to the IRA and The Troubles right?
IMAGINE THAT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I live
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, what are its pronouns?"
"Five people and a homeless man."
"Textual tension."
"We're totally not racist."
God. There's so many good lines.
Don't forget "did that. Turns out I'm a woman. 10/10" đđ
And "Ideologies are like assholes, eveybody's got one, you use it every day, but nobody really looks at it unless something's gone wrong."
Also "Let's look at Jordan Peterson's asshole"
My favourite was "Women have been having babies since Victorian times."
"We civilized the Irish"
I'm always SO impressed by this channel. I start watching every video with a deep fear that in the middle of the video you would somehow lose objectivity or fall into a bias, yet by the end of every video on this channel you waltz perfectly by every pitfall and stick the landing as a curious observer. Seriously a gem of a channel. No doubt.
It's the joy of honest reflective philosophy, while rare, it's... honest and reflective and you feel at the end of it that it was honest and reflective and omg we need so much more of this in our lives, in the world. A world that's more honest with itself about what's happening and how we can and should change it, and more reflective of its mistakes and faults without shutting down and acting like a sook who refuses to acknowledge things could be wrong and if you challenge that acts like a victim while supporting systemic behaviour that harms others and legitimately makes them victims
I dunno, I'm running long. This channel is amazing and I love your comment
â@@GraeHallmmmmm
Not only is this a visually spectacular feast, it is also wonderfully restrained in how it deals with the phenomenon of Jordan Peterson without compromising its critical stance. Thank you for this, Abigail!
this video is so visually pleasing that it's a mix of aesthetic and intimidating
aesthetic and intimidating... like you ;)
Two people who are both visually perfect
Abigail looks absolutely stunning in this video âš

Omg guys D'Angelo Wallace watched a video at the same time I watched it đđ
The arsonist took the lives of "five people and one homeless man". That hit me in the feels.
I didn't notice it until now..... Oh. So many tones that are not played...
The notes played, and how they are played can also be important. :)
Yea, that casual dismissal of an unsheltered person as non human. Oof. I wonder how many folks watching this are unhoused? I bet more than 1 or 2.
i choked
@@d.w.stratton4078 : I grew up in Oakland California where while there was some homelessness 15 years ago when I moved away (skyrocketing housing costs made it so $50,000 per year didn't cut it) it was extremely rare that anyone with even a part time job was homeless. Now there are literally thousands of homeless who have full time jobs.

"...of 5 people and a homeless man"
That was extremely funny, god damn.
Edit: The whole sketch was brilliant! Kudos
I just recently discovered this channel and just wanted to leave a comment that I love your delivery and rhetorical style. It's very captivating and informative. I haven't studied philosophy since college and even then I wasn't a great student of it. So this is a refreshing change of pace.
maybe one day iâll be smart enough to realize something before abigail says âand if youâre very cleverâ
Thats what I strive for
same ajshajha
She reminds me of every teacher I've ever wanted to impress. I feel you.
Every time she has said that, I have paused the video and thought: "Am I?"
I did it once but immediately forgot the content afterward
Somehow the fact that the Arsonist and his sister have the hots for each other makes so much sense it hurts
Did you read the captions about them during the credits? They're basically the creator's annotations about them and ohhhh my goooooosh
Also, I'm wondering about Adelaide's hyphenated surname. Presumably, she and Ivan grew up with the same surname, though I suppose it's possible they didn't, which would wreck my other theories.
My other theories: she's married but she's cheating on her spouse with Ivan, or she's divorced or widowed and kept her married surname.
That kind of went over my head, could you explain that?
"the hots" ...c what u did thar
@@fairycat23 Thanks for pointing this out to me. I liked the nod to Nakobov who I believe she covered in an earlier video, I never would've caught that on my own.
@@drewcifer69 I thought Game of thrones incest within the Targaryan line, and extreme eugenetics.
I love your subtitles, actually intentionally written and amusing in an unsuspecting way. Also this is a solid channel, congrats.
I just rediscovered this channel and remember why I loved it so much during lockdowns. It reminds me of one of my favorite reads; If Minds Had Toes. Ya take these complex ideas born of philosophical schools/ideologies and present them in a way that is highly digestible to even the layman. Ya help take away the barrier to understanding that usually exists in academic circles due to the nature of jargon and intellectualism.
The arsonist and the arsonist's sister, both characters who have been portayed by abigail in a relationship somehow being Incest AND selfcest is hilarious.
I was... intrigued by this sudden hard left turn. Abigail deadass said "NO, THERE MUST BE INCEST BETWEEN THEM!!" AND FULL ON WENT WITH IT!!!
Haha yeah, I had flashbacks to the video âBeauty in ugly timesâ the whole while.
Abigail is now, uh... the new Onceler...? oh god
isn't all selfcest technically incest?
@@actualalpaca18 itâs like how every square is a rectangle but not every rectangle is selfcest
abigail really saved up all those years of looks and delivered them in 35 minutes
She has many many more, she knew how to look good even when pretending to be a man... I'm not jealous!
My dear friend fell down an unfortunate rabbit hole of Peterson's videos and now repeats whatever he says. Conversing with her has become tough lately, because anything he says she takes at face value. This video has given me great points that I will mention in our next conversation to help her dismantle the idea of him as this all-knowing savior. Thank you đ
Did it work?
Yep I found myself doing that about Huberman and now I have my doubts. I had booked and paid to listen to him (Huberman)tomorrow and now I am willing to dump the money and not go.
Some people do not think and just soak in everything they hear from other... Peterson speak in way that sound like he know everything and is never wrong so lot of people just latch on to everything he say whiteout using their brain at all. It is no Petersons fault, it is the people that do not think independently.... I disagree with 70% of what Peterson say, he is right but also sometimes wrong and some people is unable to see that.
â@@a64738 Peterson is the final boss of dudes using big words to sound smart.
Interesting. Itâs usually men
Hey! Iâm a blind guy, I found your first video on Laws and have been really enjoying this channel. The philosophy of experience is interesting because, well,
My experience changes almost daily as my vision slips further towards full blindness. Things disappear. Things appear. For brief moments I see things I have never seen before. And will never see again. Itâs. Interesting. I am also studying law. My approach to law specifically has been really rewarding as I get a lot of compliments on my ability to approach the same

Many sides. The couch example is interesting. Had you not said âcouchâ and merely shown the sides I wonder how many people may have thought love seat or chair before landing on couch. Our experiences are so varied as humans. Alas. You are the first philosopher I have ever followed. So I will continue to learn. Thanks for doing these videos!
Are you familiar with Daredevil?
I wouldâve laughed out loud at the âlives of five people and a homeless manâ joke if it also wasnât so sad and true at the same time
Grenfell casts a long shadow.
And that pregnancy has been a womans role since the victorian times.
That one stuck in my head as well for the same sad reason.

"Five people, and a homeless man" made my brain wince.
Yes, not just my brain!
I'm so messed up i didn't notice it until i read your comment.
i think it's the best comedy line in the video
And when she went "civilised the Irish"... chills! but not of the good kind!!
8:34
You truly had me when you said, "I refuse to be correct, the goal is to be wrong in interesting ways" absolutely brilliant
first video of yours I've seen, instantly addicted. This was a fun way to present some really dense material. Cheeky not scared to go at the truth, not picking a fight that wasn't there, aiming at the point the whole time with a lot of good information. Iyou're
"savagely took the lives of five people and a homeless man" i had to pause the video that gave me fucking *chills*
I simply read over it... And now it's astounding me. And, to be honest, it feels a little horrifying
Reading your comments I remembered a fire on a SĂŁo Paulo downtown building occupied by homeless people that "suddenly" cached fire not long ago. Many newspapers blamed the inhabitants for the fire, but even if they were accidentally responsible, the rich are even more responsible for in their greed creating the homelessness and abandoned buildings in the first place.
Oh. I just realized it. It really is about the notes you don't play.
Yeah when she said that I was like âwe do be treating the homeless as outcasts and subhumanâ. I keep pushing for our local authorities to make more homeless resources but they donât respond and it just rubs it in your face more. They. Donât. Care. :(
Same, paused and looked for a comment like this. Honestly I think it's a bit too far down, that line was brilliant and terrifying.
"I did that ages ago, turns out I'm a woman, 10/10".
This is the best line/delivery on the internet.

This is the first video of yours that I watched after your channel being endlessly recommended to me! Imagine my delight when the video opened with a concise and engaging explanation of phenomenology! I'm impressed with how well researched and thought out your analysis of Peterson's work is, while making me giggle for the entirety of the video. I especially liked the way you presented the bits about Husserl -- Finally someone who understands the phenomenology of reading his work, birdsong and all đ. This video was an absolute treat! Can't wait to watch more
Your joy when you said, "I refuse to be correct!" Reminded me of why I love philosophy. Thank you for your wonderful videos

Shes dying guys, is that funny haha
I don't know if this is good or bad. I have only been watching your videos for 6 months maybe. I have never watched your videos in order so until I saw the other Peterson video I had no idea that you were trans. I just thought that this channel had two hosts. A man and a woman. It never crossed my mind to think differently.
Lol it never crossed my mind that he was speaking "objective truth". He'll always be a misogynistic blowhard to me.

The first time I watched this video, many concepts were new. Now that I have done a lot of reading myself, I still find this video perfect in every way. True, I cannot learn from it anymore, but it is entertaining, visually pleasing, and didactically a masterpiece. Although I love all the videos on this channel, this - by far - is my favorite.
"If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it, what are its pronouns?" I died I fully died. Outstanding.

Oh, you, you, you wonderful person. I do think we r missing the trees from the forrest. Talking to some of my alternative lifestyle friends they love when u call them lady (4 men 2 woman) or bloke (4 woman to men). They have told me that it's not a fetish it's a feeling of being born into the wrong body. Now if u have to deal with that? I can call you whatever u want to be called. Simple as that. The 'right' are muddying the water intentionally. It's a tactic they are using at the moment. It diversionary to the real narrative. That being,"Don't be a prick (or cunt if u prefer) & Golden Rule (funny because most of them proclaim and profess 'I love Jesus')". Well how about following what he actually preached my right wing 'friend'? Hmmm?
I don't like Dark Souls. There, I said it. I'm sick of being judged for thinking that the series is a boring, masochistic exercise in what boils down to tedious homework. I never had the time nor inclination to git gud, but I hope everyone else enjoys their circlejerk

Yo, your content is really nice. Thanks for those videos on Peterson. I do appreciate his speeches on the importance of truth and responsibility. Still, the more he tries to have the correct opinion on all the topics, the harder he becomes to listen to. Appreciate your work, your calm approach to different ideas, and care about esthetics. Cheers

it's that little 5% effort where she (or maybe one of her editors if she has, idk how production works) creates a caption for every musical interlude or uses unspoken parentheticals to make the script as saucy as the speech that just elevates the entire work, it's incredible
@@sugarqbs She does the Captions herself, I remember hearing her say that in the post mortem livestream of her last vid
thanks for the advice comrade
i'm here just for the audio mostly but i do appreciate the visual presentation too, an awful lot of effort goes in to each of these video's, i especially appreciate the research done, it actually prompts me to look things up and investigate
I rewatch for the captions :DDD
I don't watch the first time with captions because I like the visual experience better without them ^^
We all know Abi was flexing that set when we were seeing the different sides of the couch
she's flexing her hair style too! look at how beautiful it looks in the back
And the back of that outfit.

I just found your channel and you are fantastic! Too many lines to quote, too many giggles to log. It feels like I opened a window in a hot room and the first cool breeze came through. Looking forward to more.
How on earth I missed this channel for so long. They ideas are delivered in such visually pleasing way in small chucks so that a noob like me can relate and understand.
not me audibly gasping upon seeing that thumbnail?!!! how stunning can a person get exactly
Ikr im so stunnted by her beauty
Same! She looks amazing
I can't really describe the noise I made lol
I literally have to rewatch her videos because I keep getting distracted by her beauty.
iâm not even attracted to women and i gasped like
Me, a critical phenomenologist psychologist finishing her work at 4am:
Ah yes, I will watch the new PhilosophyTube video to get my mind off of work.
Abby, almost immediately:
"Phenomenology is, famously, very simple."
Hope your work turned out well! Good luck! đ
Yeah, I can relate, I cracked at "Phenomenology is, famously, very simple." the moment it was said, like, what's next, Lacan is easy to understand?
It's mostly that scene in Dark Star (1974), right
Same - *remembers the "fun" but nightmarish phenomenological readings.
@@joaovictorhasse1630 Awh, thank you! I appreciate the support, I need all the help I can get for this "simple" approach, haha!
I usually put ur vids in the background while doing something else but thank god today I watched it as well because the final visuals of this one are great
Never thought I would enjoy philosophy on CZcams. Very good stuff!
the arsonist family is getting bigger and I love that it's both lore and actually a methaphor
AND an Ada by Nabokov reference, Iâm willing to bet !
@@Fool_of_a_Toque Ada and Van, Adelaide and Ivan? She mentions it in the credits but it's definitely there.
Is this the first time weâve learned the arsonistâs name?
I have to say, itâll be a little disappointing if this video is representative of how the arsonist is gonna be depicted in the future. Abigail always played him so well, itâll be a shame if heâs always offscreen from now on.

Your work is very good! I've watched a number of videos on your channel now, and I just wanted to reach out and tell you I appreciate this content (and others like it)
Thank you for the excellent content!
Cheers!
I made it through a lot of this with a straight face, trying to keep up with the deadpan delivery on those sideways potshots, but at "Now let's look at Jordan Peterson's asshole" and that pause, I absolutely died. Your timing and delivery on the script is impeccable. lol. Just found your channel, and I'm loving it
"No smoking allowed in the theater"
Oh, I know where this is going.
I'm new to this channel.
What does this "No smoking allowed in the theater"mean?
Is it a metaphor?
I have no clue what this means but I am looking forward to finding out.
@@6feetunderpants Abigail (Philosophy Tube) for a few years now has used fire as a metaphor for fascism in her videos. Smoking, in turn, represents the spread of fascism and fascistic ideas. And so when she says "No smoking in the theater - In case of a fire, the exit is to the far left", she is really saying "In case of fascism, become a leftist."
No lobster jokes but we did get the Fire warnings. It is an acceptable trade.
@@6feetunderpants there was basically a recurring character, the arsonist. It's based on the play the Arsonists and represent the insidious parts of fascist ideology infiltrating conservative moderate positions and setting them up to be burnt down (note, he never has matches so every time he burns down something is because the moderate conservative gave him the ability to do so).
I thought we wouldn't see him anymore but when I saw Abby in the white tailleur I almost lost it. Even before she spoke I knew who the character was, the acting and foreshadowing where perfect.
If you want to check the arsonist saga look at the videos on Steve Bannon and Ben Shapiro.
No matter how many times I re-watch this video, the line "savagely took the lives of 5 people, and a homeless man." always makes me burst out laughing

"if you don't do the thinking, somebody else will do it for you" - You bloody nailed it gal!
This woman is brilliant, how did I took so long to find this channel? Perfect â€
Every time you said "let's read a passage..." it so perfectly showed the state of my brain reading any philosophical text. As a philosophy student, I thank you for your amazing content.
Not going to lie, the first two times I was left quite disapponted but the chickens on the moon cracked me up.
You failed to see the low blows came super early in an attempt to demonize. Low IQ this one eh?
That's what happens in my brain when I try to read Capital.
The first time I was like "how the hell is that famously simple?" as I read some Husserl as well. The second time was like "how the hell everything here is famously simple?". The third time I just cracked. But yeah, it's good to hear philosophy student is struggling as well because I thought I was just utterly stupid (which is possible).
This is the first video for me, so I'm not used to this. But my brain immediately went "Please shut up, I can't hear what she's saying!" ^^
the bits with the philosophy quotes and the chickens really evoked the feeling of trying to read a dense text as someone with adhd
Just wanted to add that I am a phil undergrad with full on ADHD. It is hard, and many times disheartening, but you realize that reading philosophy texts is hard work for everyone, indifferently of their intelligence, they are made to be studied not simply read, and the thrill of discovering new concepts with which to see the world in new ways motivates some of us enough to surpass other people who might be left too disheartened because for the first time they have to deal with something which requires a lot of effort.
@@OntologicalCatastrophe ok
@@OntologicalCatastrophe why cant they just say stuff normal though
@@OntologicalCatastrophe I found that if you part up the dense walls of texts philosophy often comes in (much like a complicated math problem), they become far easier to follow and understand.
@@OntologicalCatastrophe I, as a dyslexic, found that if I engaged with the text as if I am debating against it I could retain more and have a better understanding. To truly be able to understand a position you have to be able to tear it into little pieces. The funny part is that you eventually realize that every position has its weaknesses and everyone is wrong in some way even the nihilists. That is when you realize the best course of action is to pick and choose what you think is the best and produces the best results and move forward from there.
I hold very libertarian views because I want people to be able to do their own thing the way they want to do it and I want to be able to my thing the way I want to do it. I like talking about solutions I think are better but recognize in terms of philosophy, ethics, and politics there are very rarely any right answers. I disagree with this channel on pretty much every ethical and philosophical ground yet her view points are valid and her lifestyle choices are her choices. I think they are wrong but I can not demonstrate that they are wrong. So the best way forward in my opinion is we talk, try to understand each other perspectives learn from each other what we can learn and let each other live our lives the way we want. This is why, here in America, I dislike both political parties, they are both trying to control how we live our lives. The Right is filled with people trying to legislate religion to the nation, and the Left is filled with people that demand their way of life be accepted as objectively good, healthy, moral, and right. Makes me want to say things that will get the message flagged.
TLDR: Debate against everything to gain a deeper understanding of it. Live and let live. The Right and The Left are both messed up morality enforcing tyrants.
Wow great production! New subscriber, going to gobble up all your videos!
the first video iâve watched on this channel, but by god, iâm in love
Too many things: the feather turtleneck dress, tree pronouns, arsonist incest, the they live sunglasses
God I love this channel
When she started talking about the royal family my mind immediately went to âwell that didnât age wellâ
Or did it age perfectly ?
The video was released same day (or, I found out this morning, anyway)
Oh I don't know; I rather appreciated it, today.
One of her tweets implies that an earlier draft referred to a royal dying instead of the "Nation Celebrates Royal Baby," which would have been even worse.
@@timothymclean a lot of nations can celebrate a royal dying
i enjoyed watching this video, it's a piece of art of the sorts i like and it pushes you to reflect on and get comfortable with these ideas and definitions. thank you for uploading this
this is the smartest CZcams channel I've found in years. thank you for your grace!
"If a tree falls in a forest and nobody's around to hear it, what are its pronouns?" made me cackle, brilliant!
I'm not ashamed to say I'm more afraid of the Arsonist than I've ever been of a fictional character. I get literal chills when he's on screen
He's... subtler than Hannibal Lecter. He is, if you will, Lecterer.
He's not as Lecter as Dr. Ford, though. Doctor Ford's the Lecterest. You hear his theme, you quake. It means your world, your assumptions, the notes you didn't play, it's all going to crash around you.

As a jazz student, the 'meaning is like jazz' bit absolutely killed me. Loved this video
I've watched this video many times and absolutely love it. I also learnt a lot from it. But I think this time around, something stuck out to me which I will type (I just want it for my reference) - I don't think the desire for objective truth comes from the desire to be right alone. Yes, "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right" is ONE reason... but also, it comes from the fundamental human urge to avoid chaos. The line of reasoning goes "If there's no objective truth, there is no metric to measure anything" [what things person wants to measure says a lot about their value systems]. For me, it is then "how do I even know where I am when there is no frame of reference? I guess it could be framed as the search for a "correct" frame of reference, but ultimately, wonky ruler better than no ruler - i just need a metric. I need things to mean something. There has to be an objective truth.
I guess my main critique of the statement "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right", is that it reads as "these people are afraid to be wrong - very egotistical of them" - and I think it is more desperate than that. I actually appreciate that the self-help section comes next, because that is a lot of the reason why people like Jordan Peterson. I personally don't - but i get the appeal. Not having an objective reality causes me great anxiety.
I think there's also an element of feeling your identity threatened. Our ideologies are often very tied up in our identities, especially when it comes to ideology rooted in religion, ethnicity, nationality, etc. Unless it is approached delicately in a safe setting, it's easy for someone who is already stressed and tired to get angry about what they perceive as a questioning of their core values and identity. Most people already struggle to live up to their own ideals of morality and success, so hearing someone questioning the objectivity of those ideals can be very emotionally difficult.
That's no excuse for being cruel or engaging in bigotry, of course. And questioning can be incorporated into an ideology-- iirc Judaism has a particularly beautiful tradition of challenging its own beliefs. But I think it's worth understanding why people have these reactions on a human level.

@@authorbhattacharjee4957 I'm not sure there was a particular instance Abi had in mind there, but the point is that this makes it sound like the homeless man isn't a person.
Apparently there was a particular example that was quite literally exactly that in some newspaper that went like "Two people and a Bolivian died" but I don't think that's what Abi had in mind
@@authorbhattacharjee4957

Just discovered this channel! Awesome stuff, plz keep doing this!
10:49 This whole section was absolutely brilliantly written and acted! The rest of the video so far too, but this particular section stood out as _particularly_ poignant. Amazing work!
"If you don't do the thinking, someone else will do the thinking for you." Beautifully put.
It's a hit
hard to find the origins of that quote. works both ways so yes its an interesting one
There are definitely days when I feel like finding someone to do the thinking for me. Maybe I'll put an ad on Craig's List. Or Etsy.
Define thinking.
Yep, it really sums up this video. Especially the part with overlapping texts and voices, with a message: don't even try to think, I have already done that for you.
The arsonist's sister being called 'Adelaide' and the arsonist 'Ivan' is a reference to Ada, which Abby talked about in Beauty in Ugly Times. I haven't read much of it yet, so not sure what it means beyond just incest, but just throwing it out there.
i didn't catch that one, thanks
Yea Van and Ada
Thanks !
Nice catch!
I wouldn't have caught this if I hadn't randomly rewatched that one a few days ago
I'm so happy to have been recommended this channel. So interesting,so insightful. Thanks Abigail.
This is the first Philosophy Tube video I've ever watched. Until now I had never discovered a philosophy blog, CZcams channel or podcast that could catch and hold my attention. I would get lost in the volume of new, strange-to-me vocabulary, and then I'd miss a couple of salient points while worrying about the vocabulary, then I'd get bored because I felt lost overall. So I'm really happy I found this channel, thanks to another one of your subscribers toddy1609.
Oh and your outfit is amazing
Yeah, thats how they indoctrinate you , make it digestible so everyone can wathc it , and now its your first real experience with philosophy and they can say whatever they want and youll believe them because you can't yet think critically on a level to detect small fallacies (wich this video and channel is full of , trust me) , please for your sake try to stick with books at the beggining , even if its boring to look up every word , it gets better trust me , if you continue to watch these easily digestible videos you wont develop philosophically and youll just become brainwashed by whatever propaganda the person making the video is trying to sell you
I just said "Holy Shit" in a room full of people just by looking at that thumbnail. You look absolutely ethereal
"a room full of people" ah, I wish I could say that in my country.
"If you dont do the thinking, someone else will do the thinking for you"
Fucking brilliant, excruciatingly true.
I've heard it abused before to force ideology
LOVE the "They Love" visual bit. So much layered meaning. Exceptional.
Eyyy, I brought the themes of Phenomenology and Structuralism as a way of knowing what we are teaching in our classes in my college class for a presentation I had. Went 10/10 and I couldn't have done it if you haven't put this video up.
Thanks for being such an amazing educational channel!
why do I feel like the moment I sit on that couch Abby is going to offer me a cup of poisoned tea as part of a plot to inherit my duchy
And why would I still sit?
@@vainpiers I'd imagine the second you realise it's poisoned you'll either leap up and call for your bodyguard Hector, or stay seated and engage in witty banter to avoid drinking it whilst also trying to prevent her from knowing about your suspicions long enough to either turn the tables or to find a socially acceptable excuse to leave.
Of course, you both know that she knows you know, but protocol demands that you both maintain the fiction regardless. Murder is simply the way of such matters, but impoliteness is an unforgivable crime.
she's gotta get that crown back somehow
"Tell Boris, I want him to know it was me." - Abby, the Bastard Princess of TERF Island.
@@ulture please write a screenplay
No line has made me laugh harder than Abby saying, âPhenomenology is, famously, very simpleâ
I didn't get it tbh. Personally I think it is. And I don't know why she couldn't explain it simply.
I just had flashbacks to my litterary theory class when she said that. I never thought it was that traumatizing hahah
Because a twitter meme she did
To me it sounds like Phenomenology is basically the things computer vision cannot do (yet).
The algorithm can tell you that you are indeed looking at one side of an object but it has no clue what that object actually is, what it means, what it can be used for and so on.
@@ciarantaaffe5259 That's because, I assume, you understand the concept of phenomenology and now automatically bring up the core concepts associated with it that you may have studied to understand it in your mind's eye.
But to someone who is unfamiliar or ignorant "It is the philosophy of what is experienced rather than what the world is objectively made of" doesn't say much especially from a phenomenological perspective.
It is, ironically, a scientific kind of definition of phenomenology.
So in the end, she did explain it simply in my view. She just gave a few examples coupled with some humor. As any good educator would do (or at least should do).
She presented a phenomenological experience of the definition of phenomenology ;).
"The science of phenomena as distinct from that of the nature of being.
âą an approach that concentrates on the study of consciousness and the objects of direct experience."
This is the Google definition of phenomenology. While it's just as true as her didactic explanations it only makes sense to someone who already knows what it means. Honestly, for someone that has never read any phenomenological philosophy that definition leaves you as bereft of a solid understanding after reading it as you were before. You have nothing to associate it with that could begin to break down an understanding in your brain. No experience.
But if an enthusiastic educator gives you clear, cut, simple, common everyday examples it creates meaningful associations that help form a solid, core concept understanding in your mind (she also threw in a brief but pretty sweet explanation of the meaning of identity in there).
This was simply a beautiful demonstration of a teacher that would make even the non-philosophically oriented like philosophy.
A lot of teachers do not know how to do what she just did in 10 minutes in a whole year of curriculum studies.
It was ever one of my biggest disappointments/outrages with the education system.
Just discovered this channel. Love the subtle âThey Liveâ reference. You have well earned a sub đ
