Some philosophers think that existentialism is passe, but if the heart of it is the struggle of human beings, who need meaning, to cope in world that has no intrinsic meaning, it will always be relevant, because that is most basic and enduring struggle of human existence.
I am not sure why everyone has all this struggle. You live life because you were born not because there is some grand plan for you or anything else. In fact, who even cares what you think? In life you try to maximize pleasure and ultimately avoid misery, which should include not introducing new misery through twisted logic like Existentialism. When I hear stuff like this, I keep wondering if people who truly do not have much in this world and are struggling to just put food on the table, would care much about any of this. My guess is they would not, which makes dwelling on most of this an exercise born of luxury, a side effect of a civilization that is basically too easy for most of us to find meaning. As the 21st century wraps up and we finally understand what climate change and overshoot mean to each of us--which is mass death of course--I bet we won't be too worried about Existentialism, continued existence will be difficult enough.
@@domitron I think that an existentialist would be acutely aware of how many people, really most of humanity, is in exactly that kind of situation, struggling for food, struggling for survival, struggling really sometimes in a life that seems like an animal's life. But since we are not mindless animals, we have to ask ourselves at times, "Is this game of Life really worth it, or are we being masochistic slaves to our own survival instincts? " To ask that question, as the grossly abused must at times, *is* an existential crisis. So can be most relevant to those upon whom Lady Luck has not smiled. We could make a retreat into mindless animal life to escape the existential question, but who wants to be a cow or a dog, even if we could be happier by not being aware of too much?
@@domitron One other point about "pursuit of happiness" as life's supposed key goal. I think that many an existentialist would take issue with that. Jean-Paul Sartre, for example, saw Che Guevara as the most complete human being of the time. Many Cubans today still revere Guevara as a hero. But if you read Guevara's diary in Boliva, it is a portrait of a hopelessly doomed man. Struggling to kill a cow or some birds to eat, getting sick, eventually killed. But he gave up his middle class origins to fight against intolerable oppression that he had witnessed. That kind of decision, that makes us who we are, is exactly the kind thing that existentialism is about. A current day example would be whether to watch the horror show in Ukraine from a distant life of comfort, or if it is something personal to you, join an international brigade and head there, to near-certain doom. So definitely not simply valuing pleasure, first.
@@domitron for me it's not about a grand plan that justifies life, it's about the everyday questions. you said enjoy and not create misery. why? unless you make a decision on who you ought to be, there is no reason to not do the opposite. joy has no inherent superiority over misery. if you think it does it's because you chose to think like that. this is the struggle. what to you choose to do at every point in your life? who do you choose to be? this is pretty much the core of existentialism
Some people think that existentialism is bullshit, until they hear that song, or remember that thing, and suddenly they are all wrapped up in existence and there's nothing else to do but to feel that feeling. The feeling of feeling something.
Some believe the 60s was the decade of rock ‘n’ roll, and it was the beginning. But it was really the decade of jazz which this program uses to set the mood.

Hazel Barnes paves a way to religious existentialism, a woman of beauty in literary and intellectual expression, passing the torch, mainly from Jean Paul Sartre to a new generation. I would like to help her with that, by having faith in human beings (some of them) struggling with god is to be the centre of attention.
As a pioneer in Reality TV, and existentialist during my college years while writing the treatment for the show, while learning acting for stage ( and life) I understand this video. I learned the discipline from a lawyer from Sweden who taught me nothingness and doing. I recommend it to any students who are struggling to learn and create new ideas and work for humankind.
Writing in the post-modern world (post-post?) almost demands a working knowledge of existentialist thought, but also a willingness to carry on where they left off. We as a society have come a long way, the world itself is a very different place. This isn't to suggest that nothing can be learned or discovered in these works, but to retain that sensitivity to what changes and challenges the modern world presents while at the same time giving real consideration to the mindset this philosophy attempts to cultivate and finding new ways to apply that perspective.

This era, the early 60's, was my favorite. The mood of that era was still captured best by music:"cool jazz", as in Kind Of Blue, (although the resurgence of the popularity of folk music was just beginning), and by this very wordy, but introspective, brand of philosophy. For bohemians it was the end of the "beat" era, and the beginnings of what became the "hippie" era. I look back on it with nostalgia. Many of us felt that with the election of the young, hip JFK , the nation had turned a corner. Yes we were wrong. That all ended in Dallas. But just for a short while, there was the sense of a better future for everyone.

Very informative, and wonderfully evocative of a special time, one of hope and cultural richness. Soon the great decline would begin with the Indochina genocide, the cultural horror of the 70s, then in the 80s the dominance of neoliberalism, the first wave of political correctness in the 90s, and so on right up to our own filthy, hopeless present.
Uh, that's Hazel Barnes? I've read her lengthy Preface on "Being and Nothingness". As far as I know, Barnes is a very credible authority on Sartre. In fact, she clarified the epistemological foundation of Sartre's ontology: 'the pre-reflective Cogito'.

We create and choose our own reality at subconscious or conscious level. You can snap out of your current reality if you consciously decide to do so. the true will to do it is a key factor.
@Generic Name is partially true. We are a product of our environment. However, we not all the time because we have self-determination (at least those with strong minds and personalities) can't follow the herd all the time. Can't be drinking media and age coolaid all the time. One must have the ability critical think and decide what is good for us.have the ability to foresee cause and effect and our own path despite the adversities and outside force. We must find or carve our own path instead of being a victim of external circumstances. We have limited time on earth in less than 100 years, and none of this will matter because we all be dead.
I am so glad it is not the 20th Century anymore, In a World that clearly, undoubtably has a mighty powerful living God, Humanity would allow itself to experiment on itself with Atheism and Doubt; Creating large flocks of doubters to defy God. They should see God as real and alive and truly it percieves Us as we percieve, at the very least the idea that people had. That in short is to say "I dont like existensialist philosphy, at all, delight in that all mans true knowledge is God !! But i like your post and hope many also wise persons post such interesting stimulating items on the internet. Thank you. ❤
The trouble really is that there are no real answers to the idea/problem of existence. William Golding in his novel Rites of Passage asks what use is philosophy when the sea rises up in lumps? You have to create your own life and meaning don't expect others to do it. Personally I think this is it !!! Then there will be nothing. We are all doomed it's that most of us don't know it yet. By the way as an aside I really love that severe hairstyle of hers.
A human being is not anything other than what he _thinks_ he is - whereas a tree contributes *life* itself to all mankind - a tree does not *need* to _know_ itself, nor that it's feeding, sheltering, producing fruit or flowers that feed insects & birds & butterflies as well as sheltering insects & animals - so, we know ourselves, indeed & know very well that we are lost and anxious & live with fleeting happiness & but for a few, the individual contributes little to Mankind. Consciousness is not superior to _being_ (in itself) *let it fall like a dead leaf*
Sympathische Lady. All meine Lektüre der 50er Jahre, der 60er Jahre kommt auf einen Sclag zurück ins Bewustsein. Kirkegart, Sartre, Beauvoir, Proust, Nietzsche, Camus. Das war recht lustig, es war wichtig und es fühlte sich recht bedeutsam an. Heute gehen meine Gedanken in die Analyse von Künstlicher Intelligenz, in die Betrachtung des Kommens einer möglichen Singularity und in die Bedeutung des vor der Tür stehenden Zeitalters des Überfluss. Und in der reinen Philosophie zur Frage des Nichts.
Greatly appreciate this channel Philosophy Overdose. 1:55:39 Sartre's full definition of hell is: _continuously unrequited desire_ . Sartre's' definition of hell is given in context of the 3 characters who find themselves trapped together in a state _out of which_ they foresee No Exit: a lesbian who desires the hetro-woman, the hetro-woman who desires the hetro-man, and the hetro-man who desires the lesbian.

Quite happy that I "found" this channel =)
You have to consistently dig into this TH-cam thing, to get somewhere.
This won't replace intense studies and digestions of all the awesome literature, but it's such a welcome inspirational "oddity" =)
Thank you very much for sharing !
(Even 386 comments was a awesome homage to the great 386 processor from around the 90s, I have to share my gratitude and make it 387 (the co processor))
to me this is the best video on entire youtube that I have seen. educational interesting necessary
@@aliteralpipefish We the living may recollect the dead one, that one's life and manner among us. The dead, however, recollect nothing, even if we visit the grave to recollect every day. So it is even more important that, while we still live, we each recollect God while we can.
Beloved, its good to stumble upon someone and realize i am not alone. Thoroughly wonderful
Thanks a million for this priceless piece of work. I am from the dark part of the world however the light from this video has illuminated me as much as any other person any part of the world.
Special thanks to Hazel for the brilliant presentation an ultimate example for others want to do something similar.
You won’t find shit like this on Netflix 😮. Great upload thank you
She was balling out on the video essay before there was a video essay.
Just before you knew about them
@@LeeGee to be fair, before I had the capacity to know about them
I was so excited to find this. I'm gonna listen to it a million times.
This era, the early 60's, was my favorite. The mood of that era was still captured best by music:"cool jazz", as in Kind Of Blue, (although the resurgence of the popularity of folk music was just beginning), and by this very wordy, but introspective, brand of philosophy. For bohemians it was the end of the "beat" era, and the beginnings of what became the "hippie" era. I look back on it with nostalgia. Many of us felt that with the election of the young, hip JFK , the nation had turned a corner. Yes we were wrong. That all ended in Dallas. But just for a short while, there was the sense of a better future for everyone.
Romantic
You explained that beautifully!
@@m.woodsrobinson9244 Thanks!
Do you know the group playing this ultra-cool sound?
So how do you really feel now, in today's human condition?
Well sheesh. This is quite the meaty video.
I'll be watching this in my philosophy study sessions
Hazel is a rock star !!!! Her hairdo is sweeeet 😊
great upload, thank you!
Mad respect for our lady going for a LOOK.
You absolutely certain she's a lady?
How very dare you presume her gender! 🤣🤣🤣
@@mixerD1- that's a lady... Doesn't matter what's going on downstairs.
One of the branch of Philosophy which deal with the"Humans Existing and nature of the human response to physical challenging.
My favorite!
I also reconsider Eschatology as one of the best branches of the Philosophy.

thank you for this fantastic collation ..wonderful piece ..for perpetuity ...
Wow she’s brilliant. Thanks for posting this.
Fantastic, thank you.
I voluntarily suffer… but not for them…for me. For me I suffer for you because it is my choice. Amazing video…amazing.
Having higher goals, changing the world for the better, for humanity ,prevent's us being depressed about exploited humanity.
Amazing, thank you for uploading
With my very limited attention span, appreciate this. Thank you!
Je weiter du dir die Mühe machst, den Ausführungengen
zuzuhören, ihren Begründungen zu folgen und je länger
du noch in der Lage bist, deine eigene Sicht nicht
zugunsten des vorgetragenen Themas die Deutungshoheit
ergreifen zu lasen, solange bist du bewunderungsmäßig
und zeigst eine große Fähigkeit des Zuhören könnens.
Absolutely amazing
Very informative, and wonderfully evocative of a special time, one of hope and cultural richness. Soon the great decline would begin with the Indochina genocide, the cultural horror of the 70s, then in the 80s the dominance of neoliberalism, the first wave of political correctness in the 90s, and so on right up to our own filthy, hopeless present.
This is criminally informative 😅😅😅😅
Amazing
Wherever you go...there you are.
Hazel Barnes could be a guest on Sprockets (Mike Myers). That mini bang helmet haircut - don't see too many of those.
Wonderful, thank you
Love this sooo much❤❤❤
Awesome…Thanks
I've learned these concept before and threw them back at my head, this is a good opportunity to pick them up, thanks
This is my favourite video ever!
Thank you so much
I love this. Yes! More like it.
Uh, that's Hazel Barnes? I've read her lengthy Preface on "Being and Nothingness". As far as I know, Barnes is a very credible authority on Sartre. In fact, she clarified the epistemological foundation of Sartre's ontology: 'the pre-reflective Cogito'.
thx for the context!
Jonadab- That would have been a very credible (even authoritative) comment if only you'd closed it with another "uh" or maybe a "hmm?" Or "just kidding" might've clarified it a bit.
@@vanhowell3011 What is your aim with this comment? Jonadab's comment is helpful, mostly declarative, and doesn't include most of these phrases. The only thing worse than ostentatious rhetorical pedantry is erroneous ostentatious rhetorical pedantry.
@@secularjihadi I guess I'm s0 h00ked 0n c0ncrete n0uns and transitive verbs that I get dis0riented & can't breathe when I get entangIed in abstracti0ns, and then the pre-refective disc0gitati0n I
Look both these points up if you think I’m being sour grapes. And give my comment a like when you find out they’re both true.
1.Sartre was a pederast who wrote his books while high on methamphetamines.
2. He returned to his Catholic faith on his deathbed with Confession and the Eucharist. Think about it.
Give me a like! Both (all) stone cold TRUE
Thank you so much for adding the video!
I love the old vidicon tube cameras….I miss their old video look.
Huge upload.
4:20 It is difficult to be human..."Indeed, it is" responded her hair-do.
Great video! Worth watching over and over. Thanks so much for posting. Is it possible to download this?
That was a long watch, it's as though we never get anywhere with these same problems
Yes! We always get nowhere.
Nowhere.
Now/Here.
Don’t worry-civilization and possibly the entire species is on the way out, so no real need to make progress.
haha 😐
@@tarnopol Nah
@Simon McCreath no sense? fair assessment
Hazel Barnes.❤❤
I've never binged watched before.
My favourite part is when the word Subscribe is said during "Bad Faith" and the button lights up.
If this lady and Freddie Mercury had a baby its jaw would cut glass.
There's a shrill bgm white noise that plays throughout the video. It's a great video, very nicely introduced the concept through a simple quote. But me having tinnitus, i couldn't continue watching since it gave me a headache.
that’s the self-encounter part. 😉
That's Hazel Barnes' mental problems blaring at you. She needs(needed) professional help.
@@leelarson107 problem solved. she died 14 years ago.

Very revealing , You must become one with your Existence , Nonexistence , your Everything and your Nothing at all :) QC
Food for thought.

Yesterday when I was out for chicken dinner in my dream I saw my dream princess who resembled my favorite singer Aziza Galal and I hoped we could talk or I would get her coffee but it is only a dream, and I was certain then that I will die alone
She also had a very good alien body suit
And this is Hazel Barnes herself?!? The titles ought to tell us that directly. 🤔
1. Physiology
2. Psychology
3. Sociology
Tragic sense of life
Difficult to be a man
Related to this alienated world
Existentialist mood
Existence precedes essence
What does it mean to be?
Essence is freedom
Ours is immutable reality
Your reality is transitory and fleeting illusion
I feel what I think
I'm crying aloud the reason of my suffering
Man is not a being but a becoming
Being in itself - Being for itself
Being of consciousness, human person
The power of effecting nothingness
The enactment at 18:00 is pure proto-Lynch if you take away the narration. I wonder if he somehow saw this on television as a teen.
crazy how i'm getting this for free
It was free in the first place too. Public Television.

We create and choose our own reality at subconscious or conscious level. You can snap out of your current reality if you consciously decide to do so. the true will to do it is a key factor.
So do it 😁
This is the cult of snap!!!
@Generic Name is partially true. We are a product of our environment. However, we not all the time because we have self-determination (at least those with strong minds and personalities) can't follow the herd all the time. Can't be drinking media and age coolaid all the time. One must have the ability critical think and decide what is good for us.have the ability to foresee cause and effect and our own path despite the adversities and outside force.
We must find or carve our own path instead of being a victim of external circumstances. We have limited time on earth in less than 100 years, and none of this will matter because we all be dead.
Being for itself
Being in itself
I am so glad it is not the 20th Century anymore, In a World that clearly, undoubtably has a mighty powerful living God, Humanity would allow itself to experiment on itself with Atheism and Doubt; Creating large flocks of doubters to defy God. They should see God as real and alive and truly it percieves Us as we percieve, at the very least the idea that people had. That in short is to say "I dont like existensialist philosphy, at all, delight in that all mans true knowledge is God !! But i like your post and hope many also wise persons post such interesting stimulating items on the internet. Thank you. ❤
Loving this. Hazel Barnes brought the goods.
The trouble really is that there are no real answers to the idea/problem of existence. William Golding in his novel Rites of Passage asks what use is philosophy when the sea rises up in lumps? You have to create your own life and meaning don't expect others to do it. Personally I think this is it !!! Then there will be nothing. We are all doomed it's that most of us don't know it yet. By the way as an aside I really love that severe hairstyle of hers.
She looks like she's going to tell us off. She would, too, if she could see how our culture has doubled down on dumbing down.
Love the hairdo (especially the fringe on top)
A human being is not anything other than what he _thinks_ he is - whereas a tree contributes *life* itself to all mankind - a tree does not *need* to _know_ itself, nor that it's feeding, sheltering, producing fruit or flowers that feed insects & birds & butterflies as well as sheltering insects & animals - so, we know ourselves, indeed & know very well that we are lost and anxious & live with fleeting happiness & but for a few, the individual contributes little to Mankind.
Consciousness is not superior to _being_ (in itself) *let it fall like a dead leaf*
So confused now lol.
If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear?
40:00 - good stuff right here!
Sympathische Lady.
All meine Lektüre der 50er Jahre, der 60er Jahre
kommt auf einen Sclag zurück ins Bewustsein.
Kirkegart,
Sartre,
Beauvoir,
Proust,
Nietzsche,
Camus.
Das war recht lustig, es war wichtig und es fühlte
sich recht bedeutsam an.
Heute gehen meine Gedanken in die Analyse
von Künstlicher Intelligenz, in die Betrachtung
des Kommens einer möglichen Singularity und in
die Bedeutung des vor der Tür stehenden Zeitalters
des Überfluss.
Und in der reinen Philosophie zur Frage des Nichts.
Greatly appreciate this channel Philosophy Overdose.

Sartre's full definition of hell is: _continuously unrequited desire_ . Sartre's' definition of hell is given in context of the 3 characters who find themselves trapped together in a state _out of which_ they foresee No Exit:
a lesbian who desires the hetro-woman,
the hetro-woman who desires the hetro-man, and
the hetro-man who desires the lesbian.
This absolutely must stay on the internet.

Destiny ties all the loose ends together. Everyone has a destiny, and this is the meaning of life. The monolith represents your social consciousness, once the two come alive, the journey begins.
nicely said
For some, perhaps.
@@MrGoogster it's YOUR right to deny this. But, it doesn't make you right.
@@mickeywood3012 Who said I denied what? Who said anything made me right? "For some" is not a denial of anything. "Perhaps" sounds like I'm insisting on my own rectitude?
@@MrGoogster EVERYBODY has a right to an opinion. Social media allows opinions to be aired.
Helluva century, that 20th.
Wonderful 🙏🙏. But being Brahmin an Indian we really are privileged some who have read or partially know the Veda, Upanishads, The Gita and Puranas besides the lectures of Swami Vivekananda and Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji. The entire Hindu philosophy is based on Consciousness and self attainment of nothingness but ' Atman '.. 🙏🙏
In my perception, the Gita and Old Testament start with the same moral conundrum. How do any of us have a right to survive after the terrible things we do in the war TO survive? Questions upon wondrous questions. Maybe they can continue this show once Twitter becomes a free platform.

When i was a kid , i remember seaing a easil drawing paper , and it was blank and i was like six years old , and i just started to create , a spiral and then i started to give it rythem in the paper it was my art my creation , , we have to think like other creations , a spider makes spiral of webs , every life has a purpose each and one of us has a purpose ,
Explaining and trying to define is a trap and only goes so far for the few, each and everyone needs to be provided with the correct tools in order to discover one's own truths, for trying to do so as a blanket resolve for everyone will fail for most.
