Your videos should have way more views! I think you will eventually get there, just keep the consistency in doing what you like. I'll be here to see them
I wasn't expecting the Shakespeare analogy. I've spent the last two years researching a literary critic named Harold Bloom, who often called himself "the last Bardolater"; he loved Shakespeare's works and he idolized the author, to the point that he has called him his god of literature and the First Folio as the Old Testament. He's written many books about his greatness, spent years proving that he is now who he is recognized as because he was ambiguous, cultivated an aura of disinterestedness and understood the ability to create characters who could be "free artists of himself". I always thought that talking about literature as religion was a step too far, no matter whose work you love. But this comparison of Shakespeare to human potential made me realize why Bloom called him a god: he is a benchmark for human potential, even if you've never read any of his works or believe he was a hack. Great video
I think at least the greek gods are quite human in nature .... they have flaws. That's why they like heros that are flawed. The modern hero is a bit to flawless for my taste.... like they have to be as close to Jesus as possible.
Yes, you're right, the Greek/Roman culture aimed to create gods that would resemble humans; their actions were often flawed, marked by an egotistical desire, affect, or whim. But we also need to note that we talk about projections. My point was that there was a difference in context and therefore in thinking; Greek/Roman gods reflected the idea that even though I'm human I could aspire to achieve godlike qualities often associated with a will to power, whereas the insignificant hero aspires to realise his individual human potential instead of transcending the humanity, as it were. This is also because in the past, deities were deemed part of reality (which clearly skews what one aspires to be) but have significantly receded into the unconscious now. As such, we could say that ancient deities did reflect individuation but its character was much more unconscious (as we can see when we read about these stories and their cryptic character in terms of symbolism). Also, I wasn't talking about the modern hero in general, but about the type of hero it seems to me results from a sincere wish to evolve, not the one that feeds into our narcissistic tendencies (the Mary Sue/Gary Stu-type of hero, which is indeed very common nowadays). This is an entirely different phenomenon; I see it perhaps as an attempt at creating a short-cut to individuation that has the opposite effect, leading to ego inflation.
@@FictionPsychology Yes it was a bit off topic.... 11:00-11:52 hit to close to home and you sank my battleship, so my ego panic and send my chaotic extroverted Intuition to sent a diversion to your orderly introverted Intuition (I see a Pallas Athena Archetype in you). And you already prove the point that the new heroes these days go back to the more flawed versions of the Greek heroes. But does Ego inflation works with someone like Achilles or his newer version Anakin Skywalker in RotS? Because it comes with a lot of hate (Ares possession), suffer, serious personality disorders and a painful death. But it works with Superman ... shown by Andrew Tate. A mini video to Ego inflation would be nice or Ego death. Maybe we see Sephiroth from FF7 in it, he is quite a good example
Thank you for this. I think, I can struggle some more..
