Beautiful conversation. Feel a bit like a voyuer…an asexual voyeur These conversations Julie sparks, there is nothing else like them. The only thing close is radical Non-duality. Both offer no prescription, no hope, negating self-existence, yet tge Nothingness represented resonates strangely.

53:14 love Andrew us of Marx for spirituality. we're i see marx as a prophet for our time

Great interview, I've learned so much from The Vanishing Mediator's Lacan Seminars series and especially enjoyed their interviews with Isabel Milar and Leon Brenner, and this interview I've learned so much more. I Look forward to catching up on this G-d series of videos, great work Javier!

I made another comment on an old video..I dont know how I missed this but this is now in my queue 😊

Javier this video was great and it has informed me well on Buber. I am curious are you aware of Chris Satoor's project? He talks a lot about Schelling's Thatness (Dasheit) with Rahul Sam, Matt Segall and Hermitix..and I think there are some interesting conversations to be had connecting this Buber discourse further with Schelling's ideas?

Lovely conversation! Tons of good moments! . . .

This was an excellent discussion. Thank you both for making it possible.

This was a very engaging discussion that I highly enjoyed. Really great to see Flores here, and I liked that point that we don't need to ask God for anything, but to realize God is all we need. That was great, as was the entire discussion.

Great collaboration, thanks for the talk Javier. Javier and Andrew, have ether of you heard of James Finley. he does some great in-depth studies of the mystics. podcast turning to the mystics. study under Thomas Merton and left the Monastery and became a psychotherapist. thought you might like his work.

52:30 Zizek joke about Christianity is brilliant A man prays and says I wanted to be one with you And I feel forsaken I feel alone I feel full of doubt and hopelessness the response says, oh my son you're one with me we try to overcome the lack but find out the lack is redoubled in the absolute is the emancipation

50:53 here we go, interlocutoring at its finest 👌

thanks mate

Excellent discussion, and I agree on the emphasis on the constant "releasing" of our concepts, notably the concept of "God." A releasement of a releasement of a releasement...this perpetual work, that needs to lead to self-forgetfulness. I also liked the idea of the mystic "going" through it, while philosophers "think through it," hence perhaps why some of the best philosophers also seem to have a mystical dimension to them. Truly outstanding, all around.

Excellent Javier, and I think the focus on cultivating Attention and self-forgetfulness is the right way to go. I think also what you said on silence and pain were spot on. Lastly, Keating is wonderful.

Loved this conversation!! I have been so interested in Heidegger for the past year, and recently I have been re-visiting God after my first 18 years being quite decidedly atheistic. I was curious as to how Heidegger's enigmatic remarks concerning God and Being could hang together ("God does not debase himself by being the object of demonstrations"; "Faith does not need the thought of being", etc), so I will be watching all your videos featuring that Heideggerian you mentioned in passing here!!!!!

❤

Love you too Jockin

This was excellent gentlemen and focused on some of the main issues quickly and clearly. Well done!

stummling, no clarity

I am noticing a lot of "gaslighting" recently, but not so much from a psychological perspective. I have people who owe me money. They don't contact me; I have to contact them. I have a book coming out, and the head of marketing at the publisher is ignoring my e-mails. To me it's like there is a breakdown in communication, or even the willingness to communicate. This is upsetting when you feel you have a legitimate reason for there to be communication. In other words, to me, the problem is being ignored by people who have no good excuse for ignoring you. It isn't so much that they are trying to feed you b.s., outside of whatever excuse they come up with for ignoring you. To me it has more to do with a breakdown of a sense of what is morally right in one's relations with others, especially as regards communication. Like the people who owe me money may not even consider stiffing me. They may be bureaucrats in a company, where it isn't even their money. But they don't feel any duty to have an honest, straightforward relationship with other people. The problem is people are getting used to treating others like shit. Actually lying, or misrepresenting a situation is a further level of shittiness, but I think this is coming out of a lack of respect for others, and also a lack of respect for themselves. And there just seems to be a lot of that around nowadays.

Thank you for this video response!

Avoid "inspired." Only the naive beginner wait to be inspired. The long time artist is working all the time with antennae up for a new challenge in an effort to continue growing as an artist and to produce works into late style. (Think "loyaty of habit" until Wile E Coyote chases the Road Runner off the cliff.)

What's the difference between ligotti's illusory self system compared to buddhist no self?

Great video man.. ligotti is my favorite author by far.. best gem since poe and Lovecraft, i love his fiction even more

Get well soon

Well done gentlemen, I thought this was an excellent discussion, and the science questions makes me think of economics and sociology a lot. I do think it all comes down to an Absolute Choice...which isn't terrifying, no...

Michelangelo… not a scientist😂

I love these Nietzsche readings. This is inspiring me to stream a reading and commentary on The Gay Science.

Nicely done Javier, and I think the topic of self-deception is incredibly fascinating and might have something to do with creating historic 'space' for ourselves so that we can engage and handle self-teaching. I think about that a lot, and history as a whole might engage in a similar activity.

Eid Mubarak Javier😊.

I was wondering what video of yours you talked about the subject of analyzing moments if any

Also what does the recent people that you've interviewed in the negative pragmatism series think of the topic?

hey im new to philophy and i was wondering if you thought all lives were more suffering than pleasure?

I thought this was a particularly wonderful discussion with Julie Reshe and enjoyed it. The notion of "giving up hope" and "giving up ideas of what to do" to keep a focus on the relation was really great. Nicely done to you both!

Truly outstanding Gentlemen, I found this incredibly productive, and always appreciate the kind words. I've been thinking all morning about this discussion, and if you're available I'd love to talk about it this afternoon. "The Science of Beauty" is indeed central.

Great convo (besides me saying “like” so much)! Per usual really got me thinking about my own thinking. Much appreciated! Thanks Javier for having me!

Outstanding to you both, and the discussion covered a lot that I really enjoyed. I loved Ebert's point that we never rebel against our own unity, meaning there is a "ditch on both sides of the road': we can over-emphasize being, as we can over-emphasize becoming. We have to stay ever-dynamic, but how do we do that? I consider that question as one getting at Negative Pragmaticism, and look forward to listening to Winn next! Well done again!

Amazing discussion!!!

If you wish to understand Badiou's statement, "Mathematics is Ontology", I highly recommend reading Badiou's book: 'Theoretical Writings'. In the 'Theoretical Writings' Badiou distinguishes between the "little style" and the "grand style of mathematics" which is at the root of the philosophy that leads to the statement: "mathematics is ontology"--chapters 4 and 5 are highly recommended. Also, great channel, I hope to hear more of your thinking and analysis-cheers!

Such an honour to be included in this overview of your thinking on negative pragmatism to date - thanks, Javi. The idea is really taking shape (or lacking shape, perhaps, ha!). Looking forward to continued exploration 🎉

Great conversation guys. I’m brimming with responses! Can’t wait to talk with you in a few days, Javier 🎉

Another way to think of it perhaps: lack as the gap between the ideal relationship (which cannot be achieved) and the true nature of relationship. This divide is also what allows for the creative.

Huge interview Javier. Greg is the OG of philosophy podcasting and Hero to work thru Hegels POS awesome😊

You disturb people to come to your video without having something to say.

I think hope dies last and no matter what happens you will continue to strive for it, just in a different way. so this is an engine of positivity despite the negativity awaiting you

interesting thoughts

Eid Mubarak Javier

Thanks for this series, Javier. This is akin to 'splitting' in therapy. Someone becoming all bad, or all good, as a defence mechanism against noticing complex, mixed feelings - which is much more painful and challenging to do, but allows for greater possibility in relationship than simply, a) cutting off from a person, in the case of hate (all bad), or b) putting someone on a pedestal and pushing all your own needs underground (all good; blind love, perhaps). Integrating feelings of 'hate' (anger) and love = seeing a person as a human whole, who will please you and disappoint you at different moments, but with whom you can still be capable of having loving, intimate relationship.

Will you share a recording of the symposium afterwards? I'd love to make it, if the kids allow it, otherwise would love to see the recording. 🙏

In the Hegelian sense, religion prior to now would be more immediate, and now it is sublated and therefore more a moment, or as you said, an 'aspect' of life instead.
