Reading up on Camus gave me this sense of clarity you're talking about in the beginning.. Listening to you say that getting to know thinkers' views help you, actually helps me more. Thank you
I love this episode as it follows from dualism of facticity and transcendental outcomes .... But if living in bad faith is a inauthentic effort ,then what is true way to live in action ?
Man, your podcast/videos are great-I do not want you to think I do not appreciate this channel/creator-but you've "straw-manned" Kant *on several counts* early on in this episode. I understand the provocative/humorous approach to lighten up what may be a dry philosophical discussion (to some). Also, I totally understand your pragmatic concerns (and I mostly share them), but as Zizek has said before in one of his famous lectures, "What we need today is some totally useless thinking!" (He said this in response to the emerging trends in academia to focus solely on practical social problems and to make universities a factory for 'experts.') Almost all of the greatest insights/discoveries emerged spontaneously from what would have otherwise been called "useless thinking/experimentation/inquiry/etc." This disclaimer may be wholly unwarranted, but nonetheless, I thought I'd throw it out there. I wish you the best in your future endeavors @PhilosophizeThis! and thank you for all the great videos!
The one thing about the first thing you said, if you are not willing to open yourself up to the philosophy of the past, it means nothing to you, it takes you making the choice to listen to boring podcasts and read boring books to learn about what these thinkers said or you will only know what the corporate cultural system wants you to think, and it’s not an ego pursuit if you list your sources
The theoretical physicist Brian Greene recently tweeted that even if time travel to the past was possible, one could not alter past events for a reason I can’t remember, but the point to me was that when respected scientists like Sean Carroll can say there may be a nearly infinite many worlds breaking off with every quantum decision and Leonard Susskind saying it’s possible the Holographic Principle is true where everything is a projection from a 2D surface … if these are possibilities, how can anyone make pronouncements like what Brian Greene said was the reason for why past events cannot change … what would it even mean to change a past event if another universe is splitting off constantly? At a minimum, before making speculative statements like that, they should have to say what assumptions about the universe they are making. But as the creator of this video said, it’s seems that scientists, especially physicists, have take on a near religious role these days.
Today’s “televangelical scientists” like Bill Nye and, Neil Tyson, are just that ! They are all on “team religion is bunk and this replaces it!” Also, I’m shocked to learn that they haven’t explored philosophy! That is terrifying to me !!! “I also use too many exclamation points!” Lol! Anyway, totally love this show ! I’ll be heading over to his Patreon soon !!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@ 15:09 Get a real job Kant! I wonder if they had real money in Kant's day or if they create it out of nothing when someone takes out a mortgage, car loan, student loan, swipes a credit card ... like they do today. We essentially live in a caste system where people who have the privilege of seigniorage are the rulers and those who become the enemy of law enforcement if they create money out of nothing are the slaves. This may result in many people spending most of their waking hours in "real jobs", complete with all the sadomasochism that is deemed "normal", they can barely tolerate.
Holy moly this episode was good. Thank you, again, for teaching me so much. I might need to re watch all the videos and take notes.
I love your comedy bits 😂😂. I leave for them. I love those Kant's.
This lesson has helped to get a foothold on the existential movement. Outlining the role of the Natural attitude was very well done. Thanks!

What a funny start
You never go full natural attitude

Ok it is official
My brain is fried

“What if we are consciousness?” “What if consciousness and the world are one?” How is this different from monism? From Buddhism? From Daoism?
