i don't necessarily agree with everything in the vid, but this vid is very evocative and inspiring! i feel like there's a sense of poetics missing within analytical philosophy that you have. i was reminded of Mark Fisher a lot during the vid. i disagree with Fisher as well, but both this vid and Fisher's works have a passive, striking communicability.
it makes for a very convincing rhetorical style, that i would call empathetic, which does more to cross any divisional axis than overly-passionate polemics.

[@theemotionalecologist]

@@OmniBui thanks for giving the video your full consideration! I very much appreciate the assessment as you've really hit on what I'm aiming for. Haven't read any Mark Fisher but now intrigued.

[@prosetheus8951]

Phenomenal video. No idea how the Algo led me here, but glad it did. Very well researched and made film.

[@badgalyaya2303]

this is so perfect. i swear i have been thinking these same thoughts and videos like this are OVERLY necessary.

[@zorenkohler7534]

It is a crime the few amount of views on this, well done !

[@isabellac2813]

This is an incredibly insightful and thought-provoking exploration of the interplay between disturbance, growth and authenticity across various domains.
I like how you integrated mythology, ecology, psychology, and modern artistic expression to analyse how disturbance serves as both a destructive and regenerative force.
Genuinely impressed by the writing. As expected it combines academic rigour with personal resonance (which is the hallmark of your channel)
Keep up the good work!

[@lakermangmx]

I didn't subscribed but for whats that worth I listen to your analysis on Nausica when I go to sleep. I hope you will put your talent into diverse themes.

[@Claisical]

Fantastic video, very beautiful and profound yet grounded. I never noticed the prevalence of the flood and fire symbology before, and your integration of psychodynamics brings a very relatable individual impact to the stories. Looking forward to future installments!

[@camilamtzromero1894]

Thank You!

[@bexiexz]

so so well done !

[@prosetheus8951]

It would also be nice to have the script in an essay form too.

You open with the premise that there is a global archetype of flood myths that needs explanation, but this premise isn't one most modern anthropologists agree on. It's more of a pop-science myth popularized by figures like Joseph Campbell, and earlier by colonial-era comparative mythologists. There are plenty of examples of flood myths in world cultures, but these vary tremendously in their details. Calling them "great flood" myths is a BIG leap. In many cases there actually is good reason to identify Abrahamic influence, and in many cases the details vary so much that the only common factor is that some amount of flooding takes place. The Maya flood myth is one hypothesized by only a few anthropologists based on connections to the later Aztec myth which is clearly influenced by the Spanish. The Maori flood myth (in its many variations) is partially influenced by christianity and all accounts of it obviously post-date colonization. Many versions don't involve a "chosen person" sort of dynamic. Some people speak of a Chinese flood myth, but in that one the flood did not wipe out all but a few people, and wasn't sent as a divine punishment. The flood of Utnapishtim is obviously a precursor of the Abrahamic tradition. The Greek flood myth probably emerged due to mutual influence with the near east. In short, the "Great Flood Myth" is actually a great myth itself. At least half the examples people give are either influenced by cultural diffusion, or are just so different in their details that there's not much to say beyond "floods happened most places on earth". It's treading into the pseudo-scientific.

[@johnplayer3637]

We’re talking about myths, anthropology, and sociology here-none of this is scientific.
As well, you don’t need cultures to come to the “flood myth” on their own for the myth to be transcendent. The missionaries were no more Christian than the indigenous they preached to.
The only prerequisite for any myth to be a potent representation of human experience or thinking is that it is popular and familiar, and floods happen where people are.

[@pustakarileks7404]

Great flood happened, look at marine southeast asia, Long ago it was a land, in modern times this land is called Sundaland, and it's scientific.
Also if you don't believe about water purification from flood or else it's okay. The main reason of people doing that is not foolishness, they believe it can clean your body and mind, so the perception doing massive change to the mind, of course it will affect your brain, and that brain sends impulse to all your body to decision - making

[@someguy8375]

do you know the amount of effort and skill it takes to assemble a youtube video? do you just think they didnt bother to do research? this is not a creative writing task, not anymore than an academic social science paper is, this person is not acting randomly, this took effort, skill, dedication, research, and general life experience to make.

This style of analysis is a bit too artsy and loose for my tastes, but your methodical presentation and wealth of references make this a really enjoyable watch/listen. Well done!

[@basilkyra]

great video! Te reo Māori pronunciation could use some work tho haha

[@drendelous]

i am too stupid to understand it

[@Stevie-J]

I like the topics but the video is sooo looong

[@someguy8375]

and? its a video about how life is hard sometimes and it takes effort to change and grow and learn as a person, this is in function, if not in form, a university level lecture on the bleeding edge of human sciences, its gonna be dense, and thats great, and its gonna take time.

[@Stevie-J]

@@someguy8375 Nope. Good communicators can layout the relevant details and say everything they need in a much shorter time. TH-camrs pad their videos to get more watch time. You should value your time more.

[@someguy8375]

@@Stevie-J "good communication" is a super subjective take, I personally think that catering to shorter attention spans and "valuing time more" often significantly diminishes the message they are communicating in the first place. Still don't like it? Don't watch it, nobody on the internet is under any obligation to make art that you, or I for that matter, think is good.

[@Stevie-J]

@@someguy8375 Ok, agree to disagree
