True. Philosophy is sort of a like a practice run if you're aiming for a new record. Just because you made a new record out of only one of the multiple runs you've practiced, doesn't render the past runs as useless. One good thing about philosophy is it isn't some sort of proclaimed self-help doctrine; and although it may play a part in a person's development, it isn't to be looked at as some supreme ideology; because one thing about sovereign ideals is that they eliminate the person's ability to think critically. Philosophy is, in some sense, not something you do only once you're a critical thinker; philosophy is what turns you into a critical thinker. And that's, at least in part, why there are so many varied schools of philosophy.

An imaginary dialogue that proves the author's point, that's old school philosophy!

I really like this video, it has a cool aesthetic (including the vocal tone) and the critique of Philosophy vs Self Help is timely. One place you could look is the whole stoicism thing, the people who are now obsessed with it (mostly young dudes) don’t understand that they have been sold a very corrupted form of the philosophy. I look forward to more videos.

And self-help isn't necessarily philosophy either

After re-watching my video I feel as though I misconstrued my point. Philosophy can help us in many ways. Ethics forms our laws. Epistemology helps improve psychological study and diagnosis. Metaphysics provides comfort in the face of existential dread. But it's main purpose isn't to give us a creed and provide answers about life. Fistly, the answers it provides are as varied as the star in the sky. Secondly, these answers operate under hypothesis that have yet to be proven. Thirdly, it is practically impossible to prove a hypothesis centered around metaphysics. And so, when it comes to philosophy, the average person shouldn't concern themselves with adopting the creed or answers provided by some author. Nor should they mistake that creed as sound advice to aid our mental well-being, that's the purpose of psychology, not philosophy. Instead, philosophy should be used as a tool to advance our critical thinking so that we may make better decisions in our day to day. Philosophy is the study of everything. Critical thinking is the only thing that can enable us to improve our thinking about everything. So in a way, the purpose of philosophy is just to think better.

Philosophical cooking videos would slap from you tbf 😂

yeah, nice vid, I guess the visuals are very captivating. But you dont seem to understand most of philosophy. Sadness isn’t just some obstacle to overcome it’s part of what makes life meaningful. I would never be happy if I was happy all the time. The struggle the ups and downs - thats what gives happiness its value.

Awesome video

this is quite beautiful, keep at it man :-)

Forgive me if this plays no relevance, but your video is way too reminiscent of a poem I wrote back when I was in tenth grade. I hope you may take no offense if I share it here, but the resemblance is simply uncanny. Thank you for making such a piece. It went as thus: Catatonic Mania Addiction due to the tragic reality, All beginning with a taste for corrosion; Within a room of impracticality, Fading away with rotten emotion. Mayday, etiquette out the window, Born after many twists and turns; Within a room of static destrudo, Bathe in the light of Divine Terms. Obtain light sleep, a carnal overdose, And experience the inordinate happiness; With a scene of pyroclastic flows, Melted into the hippocampus. Embrace the kindness in the poison waves; Rougher than ethics, a love that enslaves. Tightrope walk through the delusional strife, Pulling the invisible strings; And headshot through the noisy nightlife, Being sterile to all it brings. This marks my 1000th crucifixion, Overlooking patterns that jumble free; As the culmination of elation, Fades away with a rotting glee. The curses of sweet words bloom, Breeding with ZZZ-grade madness; As a confluence of young flowers doom, Falling into self-made darkness. "I'll wade through the chaos to open your eyes;" Rings a faint voice in the sky and dawn fireflies. A life within the standard deviation, "Truly, nothing less than the noblest sport;" Fly away into the unmanned station, "Well, here comes the actual plot. "Running away, or turning a blind eye, Which is more worth it in the end?" With the flag dancing, raised up high, "Do you wait for a mere godsend? "No matter who is the ruin, No matter who is the defective; Will you quit being human, Or lay yourself in perspective?" Everything around you begins to sway; As both light and darkness lead you astray. "For 'all is even, all is fair', Even as you fall into its snare; Hyperfixated, even while walking around, Here, I'll make a hell of a sound! "Follow me quick, but don't lose yourself," Into the blue light, which you choose to delve; "Be that as it may, vacate this hell," And finally bid this inferno farewell. Through the pale light, smiling like an Angel, A strong hallucination, whispering like the Devil, Holding you like an Angel, the world begins to shake, On a sparkling rooftop, the scenery began to fade... From the ruins of that warped love, reality emerges anew, In the faint morning glow, "You've seen it all through."

What the fuck do you mean you don’t agree with the video? Seriously what were the conflicting thoughts.

Absolutely Fascinating, amazing work. I can't help but feel as though I'm coming to a different conclusion than most of the other commenters. I don't see this as a genuine argument for the immorality of not seeking pleasure, it feels too - idk - sinister for that? The eeriness of the voice coming out of the TV? The aggressiveness of it? Instead, it feels like a masterful depiction of someone deep in the trawls of depression. Feeling like shit and then taking it one step further; feeling a moral burden for it. Many of these thoughts I've had at my lowest have mirrored the thoughts presented in this video. It becomes a downwards spiral which is nearly impossible to escape from. Instead, true happiness comes from acceptance. Acceptance that regardless of our conditions we are trying the best we possibly can to improve them. The guilt seems to melt away, and all the energy we'd built to counteract it can break free over the sorrows.

Awesome thx

I think the only point in achieving happiness is to chase your own personal hedonism. The amount of that you achieve is completely up to you and there are no responsibilities toward it that you don’t set for yourself. I personally recommend arranging for others to also easily pursue their own hedonistic desires, in the interest of fairness.

No one achieves happiness. It's a destination you never arrive at, something you chase not something you catch. If you catch it you have to find a new pursuit to be happy.

Legendary algorithm pull

Very Kantian perspective. Tbh, as much as this video is in good intentions, presenting a complex philosophical view after reading a short article on the Stanford encyclopedia is kind of disingenuous. (In reference to the citation in the description) This is also a really difficult view to accept when you (for example) have major depression, which is a huge critique of Kant’s “obligations” and his arguments against self deletion in “the groundwork of the metaphysics of morals”. Interesting video, just suspicious of the philosophy used to back it. I would recommend some opposing/ differing views to Kant on sadness, such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Epicurus. Also, I’m saying this as someone who loves Kant, his take on what we ought to do when we’re sad is kind of not that great, lol. telling someone they’re privileged and have it better than other people and should (essentially) get their shit together, or making them feel bad for being sad, is not really conducive to long term positive change.

It’s okay to be sad when something sad happened yesterday, it’s not okay to be sad because something sad happened 3 years ago.

I want to live in this video

beautiful

Every video I watch from this guy leaves me with something valuable. These help me evolve my train of thought. I get to take a step back within myself to put on the perspective of another and sometimes that change in perspective is all it takes to get the ball rolling. Never stop making these videos. They may not be getting the attention they deserve right now but with persistence you have the ability to affect countless lives in a positive way.

I can’t believe this hasn’t gone viral yet. This is what sad people need to hear. Being inspired can be the spark that grows into a forest fire of life long passion, desire to improve, and a sense of personal responsibility to actively make positive change.

Someone gets it.

Honestly amazing

Real

DUDE how does this have so little views!! This is the closest depiction of my notes and my thoughts I have ever found! I mean the visuals are on point!

Love this audio style video with chill editing elements - good soup. Thank you

astonished this doesnt have more views, good shit

Philosophy is best served plainly and in an abstract way, great vid

Great video

you boutta blow up just wait

diamond in the rough

the description is too relatable. I'll write, then go back and wonder who the heck wrote on my paper

This beautiful man

I’ve had a few moments recently where I realize my “self” is built up of a lot of parts. My left and right hemisphere, my soul, and then the “self” who is all of them combined. I feel a kinship watching you talk to yourself in this video 😅 I know that all these parts are “me” but they feel like separate beings, they communicate and interact and fight, but at the same time they aren’t separate and are just one person. Whether or not the separate Me’s are ”real” I recognize them as real and so they are to me. Beautiful video btw

I'm really happy I found this. Keep it going :)

i love this

This is so real man

You're not alone, man. You're not alone

This is a gem

God loves you! Please turn to him!

Honing your craft man

amazing

what.

So glad I made the choice, years ago, when the sequel was first announced, to avoid all promos / BTS / reviews, and to go into it totally blind. I loved it for what it was. Some people just may not like it, but I feel most people let their expectations color their experience and opinion of the movie. I'm fully confident this film will find its audience in time.

Drugs are bad mmmkay

Man, nice to see someone else forming their own opinion on the movie instead of hopping on the brainless hate bandwagon. When I left the theater I just thought it was an OK movie and didn't see why everyone hated it, but the more I thought about it and came to the same conclusions as you I actually came to like it.

Whats the ratio looking like? 😂😂😂

the first movie wasn't meant to please the audience either, that was the whole point, only the flashy ending started a hype-train and everybody got onboard and didn't even bother to see the film for what it actually is. just seen a review s**ting on the 2nd and the guy said he liked the first movie and 2 minutes later he says he should have rewatched the first before the 2nd because he didn't remembered joker killing anybody on the subway Like how do you don't remember that? of course you didn't like the 2nd one if that's the level of attention you put into it. There is no big mystery here 99 percent of the audience didn't get that the joke was on the audience in the first movie, and when the 2nd pointed it out for them, they got angry and bitter about it.

What I like about this movie in a meta way is that every reviewer and every person who likes it can articulate the movie from widely different angles other than the common idea that this movie hates the legacy the first one left. I heard a 9/11 interpretation, taking responsibility for your actions interpretation, working with people in power interpretation, and my interpretation is about someone trapped in sin (regrets) with the devil on their side tempting him to keep being the worst version of himself (Harley). Instead of the two main conflicting interpretations of the first movie being Joker good vs we should provide better help for the mentally ill.
