almost got me with the raid ad..interesting how i subconsciously developed a habit to immediately unsubscribe any channel that plugs it anyways..as a philosophy student who is also constantly learning new things and disregarding old beliefs i really enjoy your work..at the end of the day i think philosophy is an endless learning process..an endless questioning, which makes it both frustrating and fascinating
@@PhilosophyToons Im in the comments for the same reason XD You got me, I've been doing that same thing in casual conversation "Anyway lemme tell you about Raid Shado-" its ingrained in people to flinch
If I had to pick one writer who shaped my thinking more than any other it would be Emerson, along with his compadres, Whitman and Thoreau. He’s so eminently quotable and here are my Top 10 favourites of his: 1. *Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.* 2. *Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.* 3. *It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.* 4. *Once you make a decision, the Universe conspires to make it happen* 5. *Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.* 6. *A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.* 7. *You become what you think about all day long.* 8. *The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.* 9. *Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.* 10. *There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.* Like the stars ✨ in the firmament there are countless others, but perhaps I should end with this, thereby not taking Emerson’s advice: *I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.*
I confess that reading the original Emerson was not easy. The way English language was spoken and written in those times was different to modern diction. But yes after repetitive plodding through complex sentences the originality of Emerson’s thoughts shine on us like the first dawn lights. Thanks for this brief summary. It is comforting to know I have understood Emerson like you have.
Yes. That’s what Jesus was talking about. It doesn’t suit power as an imposition, it favours human enfranchisement which is required for responsible action and ownership of all perceivable issues. It’s the Letter v Spirit thing. We fear the theory of potentially having insight but only before we have it. Stepping into “my knowing” seems difficult but until we do we don’t know, we merely do as told, I.e,, we can’t love. Well put Emerson and this commentator.
You should check out some of Paul Vanderklay videos about God #1 and God #2 and how he distinguishes the God of the Universe (the arena) and the Personal God ( God the Agent) a lot of miscommunication and misrepresentation of Western ideas and Philosophies stem from the confusing of these two things.
Emerson's view of Intuition and Morality isn't "radical". It was stated in Confucianism and Socratic Stoicism millennia before. See "Good-knowing" in Chinese thought!
That’s why I love our church. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The bishop hardly ever is the speaker. The speaking’s from the members. Making it much more personable. Thank you for this video. Very well explained!

I know nothing... 😝
@@onion338 Yes, but do you know that you know nothing?😳
Yes 6th grade dropout and mom started my education with emmerson, the word can never convey the spirit
@@TimJames-e5j He’s marvellous. Everything he says connects with my own thinking since the first day I read him, aged 21! 👍

great job on the video dude... right from the start i got a good laugh from your shout out 😆 Thanks

love this. thanks for sharing
I still don't get how this is only 150 views
Wow this was really well thought out and explained
Loved the video, thanks for making them!
And If you get an offer to be sponsored by Raid, you take that sponsorship money, ya earned it lol
great Wisedom. John 14 vs 13-14 supports Emerson
By the three minutes mark i was already expecting Emerson to just say "The Dao that can be named is not the Eternal Dao"

That's a very interesting distinction, I'll look into it, thank you!
Wow this sounds a lot like the subconscious and universal conscious.

Thank goodness this video exists. This reading is part of an assignment I have, and his language makes zero sense to me.
Emerson never meet a MAGAt
