Problem with philosophy is that I become disassociated with reality if I focus on the abstract for far to long. Best to dip your toes in from time to time I figure with out it becoming overwhelming.
What I also learned from philosophy is that it's better to give a silent reply than an angry reply. Live in the present moment is better than remembering the negative past or expecting a negative future that leads to anxiety. No anxiety in the moment. Since life is suffering, it's best to help others to reduce the suffering and increase happiness.
When you have anxiety, that means you have a certain fear or worry, that's when you have to think of a way to solve it. Thats why some people wants to see a psychiatrist.

Enjoying life as a thinker is quite hard. I am a absolute freak, who over analise's everything. One of my best friends, doesn't. Ignorance is bliss, they told me. But i would be bored of life pretty quick if that was the case. I would fill the void with pointless addictions, addictions, that dont even get you high. I have mixed feelings about it. I am the only dude on a party, who is not going ham on music because i am busy analising people, the area, surroundings, the atmosphere. It never ends. I dont let go. I wish to be freeër, with the same thinking capabilities. Less affected by life. More stoic, but also capable of enjoying being normal. But i cant. Its not my nature to be free from thought, worry, or planning, and without the issue's, i wouldnt be relying on my thinking capabilities. My friends where so amazed when i told them i dont listen to music when i take a walk. I told them i am busy thinking. I dont need the music, because my mind keeps me entertaint. Possibilities are endless, and its quite fun to be thinking. Its never quiet in my head. Its pretty useless information but i am sure there must be more people like me, who are,, freaks XD
I relate to this very deeply. I have managed to stop all of the thoughts in my head once and only for a couple of seconds, and I have to say that it was both refreshing and scary, I would probably be bored to death if it wasn't for my everthinking mind. Although I wish it was quieter sometimes...

The absurdity in that statement stunned me. I am not Christian anymore but i was and I never even when i believed felt that the idea of God was.. Just to worship..
I heard a question asked that sort of asked why we were made in HIS image and given free will but not allowed to eat from the tree of knowledge. The answer given was something to the effect that HE made us in his image bc that is a perfect image according to HIM. And the reason we were given free will boils down to God wanting a companionship with someone. See HE created the angels but they were created to be there by his side, to serve. Yet we can choose to try and join him in heaven. A true companion that didn't have to be with him but chose to be with him. And if we were to eat from the tree of knowledge it would negate the free will because we would see the plan and the truth. And that is not the plan. I'm not religious but I found this satisfying
@@stephenrosenthal5252 to me there is nothing satisfying in that. It's the same trend as the other thing. Do we have free will or not? We do in their eyes but our free will comes without true guidance in each generation. So in this world blind obedience and faith are actually very detrimental. One would think a God who gave free will would know that and not judge. One would think that an all knowing being would need to revise with the world changes. I get what you are saying but both the example I gave and the one you did rely on faith. I have most of the Bible memorized. Used to paint scriptures on my wall. We aren't living the scriptures I painted and we never will. There is a new god here and it isn't spiritual. So those billboards are horrid.

Fantastic summary of the great questions in philosophy! Epistemology and metaphysics are extremely fascinating! I really dig your videos, even though they always make me uneasy. They always remind me of that whole world of thought that you so accurately explained and the reason you say we try to distract ourselves from it. I sometimes feel like trying to find the perfect quote or word of wisdom to live by, the prime sophi, so to speak. But it always changes. Changes with my age. Death really is the prime motivator haha. I've struggled with suicidal thoughts and depression, as seemingly an increasing number of people have, and come to the conclusion that life is what you make it, at least in theory. Practice is often more difficult. But real happiness is making the best of your, and others', time alive; of this there is no doubt in my mind. But whether what is best is subjective or objective, I do not know, it depends and changes constantly I suppose. But to ponder the big questions of existentialism and the self, it makes my time here better, knowing there are such questions to ask. Thanks for the great content mate. Splendid job, I hope you keep it up! PS: I'm unsure if it was intentional, but calling out my inability to get out of bed in the morning by making me contemplate death was harsh, but necessary, however the background video of the man stretching his arms gave me some relief when you immediately used the clip again to show that sore muscles and stress is a legit reason to stay in bed haha.

I've been reading Seneca and honestly he made me understand that happiness is a made up concept, humans tend to be happy by the things which they create , they misunderstand pleasure with happiness, happiness is a dangerous thing to seek for it's like an addiction you will do anything to get the dose of your happiness by hurting people, selling your soul , change yourself for worst as long as you get the dose of happiness, which makes sense if we take a look at our generation, we need to be contented with what nature gives us and have a purpose in life a purpose where agrees with the nature and not a purpose where it will ruin you or hurting others for the sake of the bad purpose.
Being a philosopher is depressive. Because you know more, not only are you lonely, you are also outcasted. But moreso, you are overly critical of your own mind, as one tends to argue for both sides or all sides, not quite satisfied with the right answer but the ongoing and difficult analysis of what constitutes an answer and what makes it right.
Not really because what you say is another philosophical view about restraint by delving outside of your notions or comfort and the idea that it becomes asinine at a point It's a matter of perspective if people didn't went beyond those feeble notions many ideologies or perspectives would not have been made or there would be many differences
Just started watching the video and I already feel like it was made with me in mind. Right now I'm lost with and with a lack of motivation, so this video is really what I need now.

My point of view is if we could cancel the issue of death :meaning living and evolving indefinitely we might have a much better idea of the meaning of life
Philosophy is great, but it stumbles on semantics more than it should. Philosophy also somewhat lacks awareness of the semantics that govern its problems and answers. Some philosophers have taken note of this and their work is recognized, but it hasn't cleared the playing field of these linguistic issues that ultimately confuse more than clarify.
My take on this video is that learning philosophy is scary, you learn about the brain, life, gods, etc.... At some point once you know so much you began to become isolated in a way. Not physically but mentally, and the overwhelming life is more than you think. Its true when people say intelligent people are never the happiest people. I have never seen a picture of a philosopher seeming happy.
In the new era we’re about enter (the age of advanced AI), it is philosophers who will probabilistically be the most useful (deep-thinking generalists will trump narrow-minded specialists).
More power to y'all that love suffering. If you like it then I love it for you -enjoy but count me out of your deal. I get to define for myself what my life is about and suffering is NOT it!
@@notplaintext Based on out of body exeriences, regressions and children remembering their past lives. As for truth - it encompasses all (valid) perspectives. Smartest people always hold multiple perspectives on every matter.
Never think, that it says: "I know, that i know nothing". For it is Impossible to say this, and Socrates was smart enough to have Said instead: "I know, that i dont know", which is the Heart and Drive of Philosophy.
A book of ancient philosophy that I recommend is the book of Ecclesiastes, which puts forward the notion that all of man's efforts are futile and in vain. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” ... Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The best philosophy is to not have a philosophy... a philosophy is another delusion... faulty thinking... the word philosophy actually means "the love of wisdom"... peace out!😇😇
The only true Problem at all is the capability of us to error and be ignorant. Not only about the Things itself, but also about our judgment of our judgment of them, meaning, that we dont know, that we dont know, which is the Nature of Error and Ignorance. The only way to know, that we know Something is to seek out, If we can name Binding reasons, which is only possible by rigorous logical Analysis. For example, Noone can say to know what is good, If they cannot say, what the principle of goodness is and what the ultimate Purpouse is, e.g Happiness, for the one depends on the other. Therefore one must conclude, that the only key to Happiness itself is Philosophy, leading to wisdom and virtue. Therefore, If Happiness is the only purpouse in life, the only meaningfull Life is the one, that Put enough effort into Philosophy.
6:39 Why does it have to be like that? What is wrong with wanting to preserve, cherish, putting in work to maintain the connections that we love. Why am I weaker for clinging on to the things I love than letting it go.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to perserve and cherish those connections you love, but ultimately nothing can last forever and everything that is will eventually be what was
@@ericcarabetta1161 yeah obviously, you do you and all that stuff.. but really, how is it justifiable to give up whenever something is getting hard? i really wanna know
@@ericcarabetta1161 don't you realise there's a positive aspect to most hard things at the end? you go through discomfort for a period of time in order to improve yourself and become better in the long term
If you try to think through things logically, you may not be able to see through the bullshit every time, but you're more likely to see through it more often.
1-Imagine with me that this heaven and earth and everything in between were created by God 2-Then he put it all into service to humans 3-Every creature in this universe has a feature and a specific role to play that distinguishes it from others For example, he gave the cheetah the advantage of speed, and gave the falcon the advantage of two pilots, and gave the shark the advantage of diving, and gave the cows milk and meat....etc. And he subjected all that to humans And give us the advantage of learning so that we can search and know that there really is a Creator for us And He wanted us, after we have searched and learned that He really exists, to thank Him for that and be honest with Him without seeing Him until our time in this test (the life we now live) is over. God does not want to force anyone to thank Him and worship Him in this life. He gave each one of us the freedom of choice, but He commanded us to worship Him until we win eternal life in heaven And we see God And whoever does not want is free in this life to choose whatever he wants, but he will be eternally in hell - God created the devils with us and gave us the love of desires and created this world beautiful and charming and they are our enemies in making our decisions and devotion to God Evil humans decide to ally themselves with demons in exchange for exploiting people and teaching them everything wrong about God so that they give up and follow Satan. It is foolish to enjoy a few years in return for eternity in hell But it is wise to worship God and thank Him because He is the one who gave you everything and enjoy life as He commanded you And you win here and God guides you and solves every problem that you yourself fell into and teaches you a lot of wisdom to live better than those who gave their back to God and followed their instincts and the devils and you will be eternally in heaven ------- Some may ask why God would allow evil people to live here God is merciful to all of us and just always sends messengers to remind us that there is no way or escape from death and meeting God And every one of us will be held accountable when this life ends here Whoever does good deeds, works righteously on earth, and worships God, will be rewarded with eternity in Paradise And whoever spreads corruption on earth, worships Satan, or anything else besides God, will live forever in Hell Top reasons why people stay the right way They prefer to follow their ego, their lusts, or the opinions of their friends and parents, and think badly of God They do not search impartially or learn by themselves. They only care about learning what benefits them in work and this life, and they do not care about whether there is another life or not.
You lost me at god, I tried following religion for many years but the harder I tried the more I saw it bleeding incoherency. I just can’t accept an unknown hope with no logical structure. I just can’t see it as fathomable but I like to hear peoples opinions on it and this one was good and well structured
@@notplaintext Hello, thanks for your response I understand you, too. In the past, I had reached the same feeling as you But after a period of despair, something remained inside me that scolded me. I searched again, changed myself and my way of thinking, thought neutrally and positively, and resisted my ego, so I was able to truly reach God is merciful and loves us. We must learn how to imagine Him or think about Him with our hearts and with good feelings, and not by the whispers of Satan or mistrust. Remember this God is the one who gave us the heart and feelings and he sees what we hide in our hearts If your intention is sincere and your heart loves to know the truth, God will guide you to the path, you, me, or any other person Try to specify to me what things are unknown or illogical to you and I will help you and if you want to explain to you more just give me your account on any platform I can talk to you on
“The Other Side NDE” on TH-cam. Everyone is allowed to experience paradise! Regardless of the circumstances they grew up in and what religion they are with. You are judging other religions as if they were WRONG. But in reality, they are all pointing towards the same truth. Nothing changes that. Our beliefs get lost in the word soup , there is only one Truth. “My religion is better than yours” is too common. And this belief is just a result of misunderstanding. Which is normal. And fine and beautiful. You are not your Ego. No one is their ego. We are all Love and Light forever ♾️. Identity is a temporary pattern. Identity is divine, but it is not the truth. Evil is subjective, what you may see as evil may not be evil in the objective world. Just a thought. Anyway, “the other side NDE” is a great source of people’s experience with the “afterlife”. This IS paradise! We are just making a mess out of it😂 and that’s okay. Truth will be revealed to every one. Every eye will see Him, even the ones who pierced him. (Didn’t believe). TRUTH IS TRUTH FOREVER ♾️
@@VisibletoanyoneonTH-cams What is the source from which you get your information? You just follow the guess and think you are smarter than everyone else No creature can believe that it is smarter or more knowledgeable than the one who created it Yes, there are many people who have the characteristics and habits that you mentioned, but not everyone.....You must search and understand more deeply in order not to become like them It is not me, or you, or any other creature that chooses the religion that we must all follow .The owner of the land and the exam is the one whose orders we must follow in order to know how to answer correctly Surely his religion will be good for all of us, protect our rights, and teach us how we should coexist in peace &What should we do and what should we beware of. This is the role of religion, a law that everyone must respect, and no creature has the right to change or transgress it Any person must follow that law, no matter how powerful and influential he is, so that no one takes away the rights of the other But people every time put the appropriate law according to their thinking that helps them exploit the rest, and this is the reason for all wars and corruption in the land. These conflicts and chaos are people's choice because they did not submit to the Creator's law and follow their own desires In the end, if you really believe this is paradise, why is there so much evil and chaos in it? And who will hold accountable that person who kills innocent people and robs them of their rights? Also, if we have to enjoy and be silent, what is the fault of all those children who died and did not have fun with us in heaven?🤔 Finally, if this is heaven, why is there death in it?😂 What is this god that you follow😅 God, we are all His creatures, loves us and is merciful, but He rules with justice and will not allow any creature to cross the limits set for it without being held accountable. If someone does not respect God's commands, how do you think God will respect him? Only if that person retracts from the path of evil and chooses to follow the path prescribed for him in this exam will he succeed Search and learn, you will find that the words I say to you are true, and I advise you on something I am doing and I am sure that it is true I do not ask you for anything in return. Think and search well Your soul is like you need material things, it needs food for your soul and you will not achieve peace within you until you reach it Do not believe me, search impartially in all religions and you will find that there is a religion, no matter how evil people try to fight it and hide it, it remains preserved by the Creator for you and for everyone.
What is it to mean, that you learned Something, If Not, that you came to know it? But If so, i must warn you, that you May be trapped in Illusion, for If you think for example, that the existentialist Paradigm understood as giving meaning by of oneself for oneself is true. For it must be wrong, If understood in this concise mannor, for a meaning givin to oneself is as arbitrary as deciding by oneself what is true and good etc. These Things cannot be givin, neither by a god, nor by oneself. They are to be Discovered.

Nice, I waited for this one for long time, thank you very much
Philosophy is great, but it stumbles on semantics more than it should. Philosophy also somewhat lacks awareness of the semantics that govern its problems and answers. Some philosophers have taken note of this and their work is recognized, but it hasn't cleared the playing field of these linguistic issues that ultimately confuse more than clarify.
I'll always love this channel!
With every video I'm never ready to go down the rabbit hole
What doesn't kill me . . . doesn't kill me. That's all.
What doesn't kill me will hopefully succeed next time
My take on this video is that learning philosophy is scary, you learn about the brain, life, gods, etc.... At some point once you know so much you began to become isolated in a way. Not physically but mentally, and the overwhelming life is more than you think. Its true when people say intelligent people are never the happiest people. I have never seen a picture of a philosopher seeming happy.
We are all trying to figure this reality thing together!
Something to ponder while smoking a good English pipe smoking mixture such as Nightcap. Fascinating.
" remember you won't be here one day"
Me: Can't wait
This is such a good channel, keep up the great vids man.
Golden video. Masterpiece.
What are the main books you have read? I am curious and want to learn more about philosophy.
When someone ask you an utterly not is concerns questions
I love your videos!!
Another great video, thanks man🤘🏻
In the new era we’re about enter (the age of advanced AI), it is philosophers who will probabilistically be the most useful (deep-thinking generalists will trump narrow-minded specialists).
More power to y'all that love suffering. If you like it then I love it for you -enjoy but count me out of your deal. I get to define for myself what my life is about and suffering is NOT it!
Purpose of life:
•Prepare for after life
•Seek truth
•Share truth
•Gain new experience
•Improve yourself
•Improve others
•Improve the world
You’re assuming afterlife exists based on what exactly and truth is only perspective but the other ones ain’t bad
Truth isn't subjective. Those would be opinions you're talking about, champ.
@@notplaintext Based on out of body exeriences, regressions and children remembering their past lives. As for truth - it encompasses all (valid) perspectives. Smartest people always hold multiple perspectives on every matter.
The older I get, the less I think I know. About all I know is that I exist and that I'm aware of things, that's about it.
If you don't expect anything, the unexpected will happen 😮
0:01 bro was that a fart or you just hungry?😂😂
😂😂😂
Great video, can’t wait for more
The strong will do what the can, the weak will suffer what they must
I'm glad I found aperture.
Love you bro😊
I love aperture videos
that one line in this video made me call my mom. thanks bro
I was just thinking about how bored I am. Clutch!
My only fear of death is reincarnation
You ain't gonna know it anyway..
Maybe you have already reincarnated 1000+ times..
Nobody knows
Never think, that it says: "I know, that i know nothing". For it is Impossible to say this, and Socrates was smart enough to have Said instead: "I know, that i dont know", which is the Heart and Drive of Philosophy.
Splendid video.
A book of ancient philosophy that I recommend is the book of Ecclesiastes, which puts forward the notion that all of man's efforts are futile and in vain.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher;
“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
...
Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them.
I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure,
For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;
And this was my reward from all my labor.
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.

Life has the meaning you place on it
Taking inspiration from You Big boss
Life is a suffering except to those that are crazy to learn. These are lucky happy bastards.
I keep waiting for your philosophy videos. They are the best.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've learnt so much from my mistakes, I'm thinking of making some more!
We are stuck in eternity
Birth>life>death >> repeat
The best philosophy is to not have a philosophy... a philosophy is another delusion... faulty thinking... the word philosophy actually means "the love of wisdom"... peace out!😇😇
… and very super interesting subjects your videos here address, and very heavy then though.
The only true Problem at all is the capability of us to error and be ignorant. Not only about the Things itself, but also about our judgment of our judgment of them, meaning, that we dont know, that we dont know, which is the Nature of Error and Ignorance.
The only way to know, that we know Something is to seek out, If we can name Binding reasons, which is only possible by rigorous logical Analysis. For example, Noone can say to know what is good, If they cannot say, what the principle of goodness is and what the ultimate Purpouse is, e.g Happiness, for the one depends on the other.
Therefore one must conclude, that the only key to Happiness itself is Philosophy, leading to wisdom and virtue. Therefore, If Happiness is the only purpouse in life, the only meaningfull Life is the one, that Put enough effort into Philosophy.
Philosophy is fun
I want these bgms where can I find it
6:39 Why does it have to be like that? What is wrong with wanting to preserve, cherish, putting in work to maintain the connections that we love. Why am I weaker for clinging on to the things I love than letting it go.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to perserve and cherish those connections you love, but ultimately nothing can last forever and everything that is will eventually be what was
Because everything you said you'll perish are impermanent
Me: hears "french scholar"
Me: *checks out*
i knew this was just a sales pitch
If only our big beautiful brains knew how to understand themselves. But, perhaps that's the point.
Started reading philosophy under same conditions as he said and not long ago i am 17 rn
brother where are you from ?
@@shvishh_777 does that matter
Life is suffering… so essentially we’re in hell. Cool
If it's hard, then I don't do it. That's my philosophy.
no offense but thats a stupid philosphy
@@kuseel7493, you don't have to follow it. Isn't that great?
@@ericcarabetta1161 yeah obviously, you do you and all that stuff.. but really, how is it justifiable to give up whenever something is getting hard? i really wanna know
@@kuseel7493, I save myself the trouble from the beginning by not getting involved in the first place.
@@ericcarabetta1161 don't you realise there's a positive aspect to most hard things at the end? you go through discomfort for a period of time in order to improve yourself and become better in the long term
I LOVE PHILOSOPHY 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
If you try to think through things logically, you may not be able to see through the bullshit every time, but you're more likely to see through it more often.
Good 👍 videos.
1-Imagine with me that this heaven and earth and everything in between were created by God
2-Then he put it all into service to humans
3-Every creature in this universe has a feature and a specific role to play that distinguishes it from others
For example, he gave the cheetah the advantage of speed, and gave the falcon the advantage of two pilots, and gave the shark the advantage of diving, and gave the cows milk and meat....etc. And he subjected all that to humans
And give us the advantage of learning so that we can search and know that there really is a Creator for us
And He wanted us, after we have searched and learned that He really exists, to thank Him for that and be honest with Him without seeing Him until our time in this test (the life we now live) is over.
God does not want to force anyone to thank Him and worship Him in this life. He gave each one of us the freedom of choice, but He commanded us to worship Him until we win eternal life in heaven And we see God
And whoever does not want is free in this life to choose whatever he wants, but he will be eternally in hell
-
God created the devils with us and gave us the love of desires and created this world beautiful and charming and they are our enemies in making our decisions and devotion to God
Evil humans decide to ally themselves with demons in exchange for exploiting people and teaching them everything wrong about God so that they give up and follow Satan.
It is foolish to enjoy a few years in return for eternity in hell
But it is wise to worship God and thank Him because He is the one who gave you everything and enjoy life as He commanded you
And you win here and God guides you and solves every problem that you yourself fell into and teaches you a lot of wisdom to live better than those who gave their back to God and followed their instincts and the devils and you will be eternally in heaven
-------
Some may ask why God would allow evil people to live here
God is merciful to all of us and just always sends messengers to remind us that there is no way or escape from death and meeting God
And every one of us will be held accountable when this life ends here
Whoever does good deeds, works righteously on earth, and worships God, will be rewarded with eternity in Paradise
And whoever spreads corruption on earth, worships Satan, or anything else besides God, will live forever in Hell
Top reasons why people stay the right way
They prefer to follow their ego, their lusts, or the opinions of their friends and parents, and think badly of God
They do not search impartially or learn by themselves. They only care about learning what benefits them in work and this life, and they do not care about whether there is another life or not.
You lost me at god, I tried following religion for many years but the harder I tried the more I saw it bleeding incoherency. I just can’t accept an unknown hope with no logical structure. I just can’t see it as fathomable but I like to hear peoples opinions on it and this one was good and well structured
@@notplaintext
Hello, thanks for your response
I understand you, too. In the past, I had reached the same feeling as you
But after a period of despair, something remained inside me that scolded me.
I searched again, changed myself and my way of thinking, thought neutrally and positively, and resisted my ego, so I was able to truly reach
God is merciful and loves us. We must learn how to imagine Him or think about Him with our hearts and with good feelings, and not by the whispers of Satan or mistrust.
Remember this God is the one who gave us the heart and feelings and he sees what we hide in our hearts
If your intention is sincere and your heart loves to know the truth, God will guide you to the path, you, me, or any other person
Try to specify to me what things are unknown or illogical to you and I will help you and if you want to explain to you more just give me your account on any platform I can talk to you on
“The Other Side NDE” on TH-cam. Everyone is allowed to experience paradise! Regardless of the circumstances they grew up in and what religion they are with. You are judging other religions as if they were WRONG. But in reality, they are all pointing towards the same truth. Nothing changes that. Our beliefs get lost in the word soup , there is only one Truth. “My religion is better than yours” is too common. And this belief is just a result of misunderstanding. Which is normal. And fine and beautiful. You are not your Ego. No one is their ego. We are all Love and Light forever ♾️. Identity is a temporary pattern. Identity is divine, but it is not the truth. Evil is subjective, what you may see as evil may not be evil in the objective world. Just a thought. Anyway, “the other side NDE” is a great source of people’s experience with the “afterlife”.
This IS paradise! We are just making a mess out of it😂 and that’s okay. Truth will be revealed to every one. Every eye will see Him, even the ones who pierced him. (Didn’t believe). TRUTH IS TRUTH FOREVER ♾️
@@VisibletoanyoneonTH-cams
What is the source from which you get your information?
You just follow the guess and think you are smarter than everyone else No creature can believe that it is smarter or more knowledgeable than the one who created it
Yes, there are many people who have the characteristics and habits that you mentioned, but not everyone.....You must search and understand more deeply in order not to become like them
It is not me, or you, or any other creature that chooses the religion that we must all follow .The owner of the land and the exam is the one whose orders we must follow in order to know how to answer correctly
Surely his religion will be good for all of us, protect our rights, and teach us how we should coexist in peace &What should we do and what should we beware of.
This is the role of religion, a law that everyone must respect, and no creature has the right to change or transgress it
Any person must follow that law, no matter how powerful and influential he is, so that no one takes away the rights of the other
But people every time put the appropriate law according to their thinking that helps them exploit the rest, and this is the reason for all wars and corruption in the land.
These conflicts and chaos are people's choice because they did not submit to the Creator's law and follow their own desires
In the end, if you really believe this is paradise, why is there so much evil and chaos in it?
And who will hold accountable that person who kills innocent people and robs them of their rights?
Also, if we have to enjoy and be silent, what is the fault of all those children who died and did not have fun with us in heaven?🤔
Finally, if this is heaven, why is there death in it?😂
What is this god that you follow😅
God, we are all His creatures, loves us and is merciful, but He rules with justice and will not allow any creature to cross the limits set for it without being held accountable.
If someone does not respect God's commands, how do you think God will respect him?
Only if that person retracts from the path of evil and chooses to follow the path prescribed for him in this exam will he succeed
Search and learn, you will find that the words I say to you are true, and I advise you on something I am doing and I am sure that it is true
I do not ask you for anything in return. Think and search well
Your soul is like you need material things, it needs food for your soul and you will not achieve peace within you until you reach it
Do not believe me, search impartially in all religions and you will find that there is a religion, no matter how evil people try to fight it and hide it, it remains preserved by the Creator for you and for everyone.
Sexual "gratisfaction"? Slip of the tongue or my new favorite word?
Hey bro, i love the topics you touch on, but the videos have too many visuals and is overedited, which distracts from the topic
I believe that the future is already exist
Would you rather die for a purpose then live a meaningless life?
What would you justify as a purposeful death and a meaningful life
99% choose meaningless life. It's sad.
Kantian ethics vs. Utilitarianism: Which provides a better guide for moral action in today's world?
If you have no interest in questioning the assumptions upon which your beliefs are based, then you're already dead.

Amazing
I love the absurdity of life. : - )
What is a philosopher?
The sponsorship totally put me off the immersion.
That’s unfortunate
@@Gaggerlotion lmao
What is it to mean, that you learned Something, If Not, that you came to know it? But If so, i must warn you, that you May be trapped in Illusion, for If you think for example, that the existentialist Paradigm understood as giving meaning by of oneself for oneself is true. For it must be wrong, If understood in this concise mannor, for a meaning givin to oneself is as arbitrary as deciding by oneself what is true and good etc. These Things cannot be givin, neither by a god, nor by oneself. They are to be Discovered.
All i know is what i know or what we assume we know
i can not teach anyone i can only make them think
See philosophy is for people who want knowledge and create their own philosophy
How do we know this isnt BS too?
