www.patreon.com/philosophytube would be a very helpful place to visit: this video has been hit with a nasty little copyright claim by Sony Music and so I won't get the ad money, which isn't loads but definitely makes a difference because this was my most expensive and time-consuming to date! 💕
I'm really glad you still decided to keep your original vision and not to re-upload it with the musical outro edited out. Goodbye, Doctor P.!
Oh my God TH-cam sucks!!
Olly, you make great content and as soon as I get out of my undergrad and get a job (I'm about to graduate with a BA in History!) I will definitely donate to you. You've got a lifelong subscriber, keep up the great work.
Is there a place I can make a one time donation?
Can you please spell, don't laugh!, raification?
Getting introduced to Philosophy Tube in late 2023 by watching "a man plagiarized my work..." and then going down the rabbit hole of TH-cam channel history, really does show how the heart and character of a creator stays the same, no matter how outside appearance might evolve. Big props to you Abigail, you have come a long way and you truly are an inspiration.
I always love seeing Abigail still reacting to new comments on old videos. Most creators tend to move on shortly after a video's posted, but I regularly see her making new comments and reactions on years-old content. It's very cool and really heartwarming
I'm on the same binge, for the same reason, thinking the same thing!
@@lif6737 same, i was so shocked to her heart on this very recent comment especially now that the channel has grown so much.

I had a ball python on my neck once. It was scary. Philosophy dude has balls of steel lol.
As someone with larger pet snakes, it's really not so bad. Just a sort of 'blep' feeling in your throat and then you're over it and they realize they can't kill you so they loosen a bit.

Can't wait until Hbomb embraces this level of sky-high production value and does a topless video with hours-worth of make-up, enormous nails, multiple characters and strong bisexual lighting.
Did you not see him being birthed out of a giant printout of loss.jpg?
“Strong bisexual lighting” is my new favorite concept and you have my undying gratitude
Strong bisexual lighting is now discourse cannon
Hbomb has the chaotic bisexual energy to pull it off. the question is, will he ever not be too tired to actually do it.

"I wanted to send this to my dad, but you're naked and pretending to be Satan"- Oliver Thorn, quoting one of his correspondents.
“I wanted to send this to my weird Peterson-Lad cousin, but you’re naked and pretending to be satan” -Me, quoting my own train of thought at the beginning of the video
"I wanted to reference Richard Boyd, so rewatched this in full view of 50% of the residents of my university apartments because I forgot to close the bloody kitchen window. Now they all think I watch philosophical demon porn" - me, last week

You will never read this, but I'd like you to know that this video was my first step to being deradicaised from the right. I'm am a much better and happier person because of it. Thank you
i’ve read this, and i’m incredibly happy for you.
So nice to know you're happy and deradicalised, Adam! Keep it up!
So happy for you ✨!!
I was moved to the right and found god and couldn’t be more happy with the improvements in my life
@@choccy_bagel thank you god bless you 🙏
23:33 the picture behind Abi's camera of Venus, with a bi flag and a trans flag. I guess it was always there for anyone to see. How wonderfully her!!
Holy shit, hiding in plain sight
I think this is part of why I could tell...coming towards her coming out....that she was going to come out. I said to my husband "omg I think this man is actually a woman!" Then she did come out and my god is she a divinely beautiful woman! ♥️ looking at her now in male 'drag' I see her grace and beauty just as clearly!
This season of Lucifer is weirdly educational.
he wanted to get into some new hobbies in hell
That feeling when you run out of Lucifer so you just watch this video over and over again
I do hear he's a man of wealth and taste
Not sure if educational is the word I'd use. It's mostly lies and misattributions, but he is the devil...
When I say lol to this, I mean I really laughed 😆
four minutes into the video I realized I am watching a naked guy with hairy chest, devil wings and a crown holding a life snake discussing the philosophies of Nihilism and Relativism to debunk a Canadian psychologist author.
the internet is a wild place.
I cant stop looking at those nipples
So round and pink...
@Sappho it really is
This guy spends his days debunking popular conservative youtubers. Thats what he does and half arguments hidden by costume and theatrics.
Did you smoke before this video? Lol
Hot 😩
Abi's impression of Peterson is just *chef's kiss*.
I can hardly fathom how a person can produce such unbelievably good content.

it IS a magnificent chest bush.
I think even Austin Powers would approve.
That’s what pause is for, fap it out, clear your head, then watch another few minutes and repeat 😂
@@XercinVex oh wow lol
Especially considering it really seems as though he's not wearing pants
He seems to believe I'm gonna pay attention to philosophy while he's naked, with this make-up, looking straight to the camera like this and holding 2 fucking snakes
The Jordan Peterson impression absolutely kills me, I love it.
It's the perfect balance of arrogant academic and Kermit
When Olly calls Natalie an angel it's soooooo adorable aaaaah!
I need Ollie and Natalie to make a 40 minute video with all the costumes, outfits and to put on the greatest Philosophy Fashion Show then bring about the Apocalypse. Life would be complete.
I also hope both of them have the sense to shoot lots of B-roll whenever they're in a particularly intricate costume or set.
peterson would picture this as he himself is hanging on a burning cross in the background
put words to my deepest desires
The King and Queen of LeftTube.
Seconded
Nobody:
One person on every video: you're turning into ContraPoints
Ollie, holding snakes suggestively and talking about doing molly: nope, don't see it
this is the first video I watched for him and I was like, someone's been watching Contra Points
That's a double negative. Nobody saying nothing means someone's saying something. It's "nobody said anything."
and is that a bad thing? I'm very glad that they are inspiring one another. MORE CYBER SYMBIOSIS
I love it
Look if there’s an aesthetic i want to see more youtubers using it’s that of contrapoints
Me: [Watches well planned and thought out and educational video]
...

Me: Bebbeh snek wants to climb
Me, also!
Props to Abigail for being snek-friendly and props to the snek wrangler.
Most of all props to pwitty noodle for being the pwittiest whittle noodle ever ~
38:31 I love that one of the patreon supporters with production credits in this video is "Jordan B. Peterson"
i guess ContraPoints is a genre now
I see it more as an homage really, her having set this style into place. Like a school of art, founded by the great ContraPoints.
A genre, an aesthetic, all grand.
@Gracie P she legit helped him make the video ^_^
@Gracie P With enough time I'm sure Olly can carve out his own look through. A small team behind him could help him to achieve that.

Satan DESTROYS objectivity with FACTS and LOGIC
BATTLESTATIONS, EVERYONE !
That depends on how you look at it
@@anton-io It depends on what you mean by "how you look at it" it...
@@Anskurshaikh That really depends on your perspective of meaning in the context of what you mean when you ask what they mean by "depends on how you look at it".
@@freedomofspeech2867 Well first off I've actually been defending Jordan in this comment section. Secondly, saying that my behaviour is 'so fucking white' (ignoring the two prior replies my comment was imitating) is an example of a prejudice against a race, and therefore textbook racism. Thirdly, objectivity is a concept entirely generated within the human mind. Your entire perception of the world is subjective, which is why the primary crux of all philosophy is 'I think therefore I am'. At the base of all assumptions is the belief in the self.
Besides from that, I do actually like a lot of what Jordan says, and the majority of criticism against him I've seen has been fairly nitpicky or not even criticism against him, but against an individual's perception of his ideas. He's not a perfect man by any standards. Both the Bible and the literal definition of the word define the impossibility of perfection. He has also said things that I disagree with, however I still believe he is a good man, and a pretty great clinical psychologist.
Try not to approach arguments with the standpoint of insulting your opponent. Jordan himself says that if you insult everyone who disagrees with you, you can't accept anyone to change their mind.
It's almost like you can find your own meaning from life, and that it doesn't have to be what everyone else wants.
and yet many are swayed by the moods and tides of their chosen majority, with little to no strong sense for themselves of knowing right from wrong.
Watching this again. As a theatre-specialist, I love the reminder of how much these disciplines intersect. Thanks for reminding me how I learned things . I often bring up theatre when speaking to philosophy-specialists, and usually it’s me understanding their disciplines,but them having no idea about mine.
A couple of years ago, I heard of a concept called "optimistic nihilism." In layman's terms, it means life is meaningless, and humanity's existence serves no greater purpose, so you might as well spend your life enjoying it and making the world a better place for others. That's basically how I operate.
I'm pretty sure this is the point of Nietzsche
There are several people that proclaim such an idea for different reasons: Nietsche, camus, sartre, stirner
Most of the millenial generation's ultimate philosophy is either naïve or aware optimistic nihilism.
This is also the xkcd approach
Well, there's still an ideology in there somewhere, isn't there? If you want to make the world a better place, that means that there is some target to work towards. So the question moves away from an existential problem to a social problem. What does the world look like that you want to leave behind? That's driven by ideology.
is this what theater majors are doing with their life now
Theatre major here, yes. At least the ones that aren't pretty airheads. This is our plan.
@@themysteriousstranger4580 Hahaha, no shade!
He's a professional actor, and a lot of his videos incorporate theatrics like this.
Shiiit... For illustrating Harris & Peterson's chicanery and doing so in such an intelligent manner, he could've majored in being a Mime for all I care.
@@neorock6135 Honestly yeah this man could just have a high school diploma and it wouldn't matter
I like you so much... can't really wrap my head around how a random person from a suddenly popped up TH-cam video can call out so much respect & admiration. thank you for what you are doing!
She has another video about parasocial relationships. It's like "ok yes but I still feel it"
Came here year ago with a foggy mind and a deluded, close-minded attitude, that only made me think of a way to disagree with you, now I am really listening to what you are saying and picking up the concepts and their technical definitions. You are one of those TH-camrs who actually know what they are talking about.
Don't regard everything Oliver says as correct, and don't regard everything Peterson says as correct. Oliver actually misunderstands some of Peterson's points
Two examples:
At 14:30 the argument is flawed. Oliver claims that the uniform of the police can be a symbol of chaos for many people, and although this is certainly true, his use of the word chaos has little to do with Peterson's use. 15 seconds before, he literally read his definitions of the abstract symbolisms of chaos and order, and it says that extreme order can become tyranny. That's what the uniform of the police can be, not chaos, especially not if you take into consideration Peterson's symbolic use of the word chaos.
Also about the conflicting terms of post-mordenism and Marxism that Oliver says he uses interchangeably, this is not really the case. Firstly he never says Marxism, but neo-Marxism. He also says too that they are fundamentally contradicting terms. The communist manifesto and Marxism described history as a constant oppression from the economically powerful to the economically weak and he argues that people weren't buying that idea anymore from a point onwards, so the story changed to oppression of one identity group to another, in general. He basically hates the "identity politics" that "these people" play, and their focus on group identity over personal identity, which as far as I am concerned, is a very very valid point.
@@Pspet but I’m just wondering what he means by personal identity? When he is implying that order is tribe, religion, health, home, and country, I’m assuming that he is supporting order although it can be tyranny. But most of the things he said that are “order” can be seen as group identities, as the very nature of home, tribe, religion, and country is just very collective. Isn’t he contradicting himself?
@@Pspet, Peterson's fundamental problem is that his public persona is that of the self-important pseudo-intellectual prick, but he uses terms in an ambiguous, self-serving and *hypocritical* way. So, it's automatically worthy of hate if you use a term that is a de facto or de jure term imposed by society? A small number of people own the vast majority of human society's wealth. Is it bad to cite that group, that plutocracy, as a group, or is that bad form, and we really ought not make Peterson mad? He classifies while railing at the idea of classification.
I'm no Marxist, but I have a basic grasp of the concept. Peterson seems not to, regardless of his bullshit "neo-marxism" term. I don't know whether he really doesn't, or he just says what he thinks is coherent with his overarching philosophies, or if he just serves up what he thinks will sell, or whether after so many years, he's come to believe his own nonsense.
And he doesn't seem to have the slightest clue what "post-modernism" is. Does he have the slightest idea how badly he misunderstands? Does it even matter in the internet age? Ker-ching, man. Ker-ching.
After listening to a number of Peterson's lectures, I don't feel the least bit edified -- at least, not from the lectures. This guy is a waste of time. You'd be far better served reading Nietzsche. Or a Timothy Snider book. Or even Toynbee. Or petting a cat.
@@Johnny.Fedora "Or petting a cat" -- 🤣🤣🤣, indeed
@@Pspet Well, the first argument may sound flawed because he of the example. But because you haven't mentioned, I am led to believe that you think that he is correct about "Walls of the City". The argument holds up enough.
Like he said, even Jordan Peterson has said that we see things in a subjective sense so two people can see the same things differently.
So Order and Chaos, whether we like it or not, are relative.
Olly looking at the camera dressed a shirtless demon, causally running a snake through his fingers, and saying in a deliberately deep voice "do you care more about meeting those expectations (voice lowers in pitch) ... or about looking good?" is my everything now.
so, is this canon in the "Contra Points Extended Universe" ?
Cinematic Breadtube universe?
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 at this point, after all the milk spilling and bathroom scenes, we should just rename it to Breadtub
It's the LCU comrade!
I'm pretty sure there is a Breadtube Cinematic Universe at this point, and this probably is canon.
You bet your ass it is.
Something I picked up on a review of "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" was a point on nihilism: If nothing matters, then everything matters.
I think that's something JP is actively ignoring when he is (or was) preaching against nihilism. If life is inherently meaningless, then every moment is exactly as meaningful as the last.
How do you go from "nothing matters" to "everything matters". That's not good logic
@@TeaRiker yes it is.
If nothing matters at all, then everything has the exact same value.
@@koivunen2489 but that's obviously different from saying that everything matters.
@@TeaRiker I was trying to say it with different words to make it clearer.
@@koivunen2489if the value were 0, and the basis for something to matter is to "be", then it has to be greater than 0.
There's another quote which is more logically coherent to your argument and it is "If nothing matters, anything is permitted"
but not that everything matters
This costume is what every respectable villain in my D&D campaign aspires to look like.

@@antediluvianatheist5262 -he doesn't, he's straight.- due to new information this statement has been redacted
This really should be compulsory viewing for all children, probably in the last weeks of the holidays before they transition to high school culture. This might well have saved my life although I haven’t given up trying to give up hedonism and my pleasures are highly restricted, and of course no longer enjoyable as my conscious is clearly not able to take my bullshit anymore.
The excellence, warmth, humour, eloquence, intelligence and grace, not to forget generosity of this fabulous creature is a tonic and an inspiration.
I have no words to express my gratitude.
"Some days are so bleak that even the thought of pleasure and happiness makes me sick. Thinkest thou that I, who saw the face of god and tasted the eternal joys of heaven, am not tormented with ten thousand hells in being deprived everlasting bliss. And then the water goes cold but you sit there anyway because sometime hell is a bathtub in Debden."
This is beautiful.

It's always nice to see love and respect for different body types. People joke about "TH-cam Daddies" but I'm telling you Ollie's striking the proper balance between manly wiles and dad bod. If I were sexually awakened toward men he would meet my standards.
Should be easy though when you look like Oliver.
I am truly astonished about how deep and still easy to understand are all your content. I friend of mine talk to me about your channel last Saturday and since then I've watched at least one video a day.
Just wanted to say thanks for that! I really appreciate it and as soon as possible I'll be one of your patrons.
Can I just say that I appreciate the fuck out of your lighting technician? They got enough green in the wash to make it boldly green but still kept it white enough to make the eyes and the rubies not turn black. It's good work.
so striking!
So turns out Olly dressed as Lucifer, shirtless and playing with a snake, debunking The Lobster King, is my kink
Chloe DeRolf sad thing is I have seen stranger kinks.
*STRANGER KINKS THEME SONG PLAYS*
Olly is daddy change my mind
Did I miss the debunking part? Because disagreeing with someone's philosophy and attitude to living is not debunking.
@Tim Evans What in the ever loving fuck did I just read?!
Okay, but that python had an amazing on-screen presence, absolute lad, 10/10.
Also, “hedonism is like snakes” is such a good phrase, can we get that on some merch
Well said. It all just boils down to "you can't be unlike me" because they're afraid of anyone that's different. When others don't meet their expectations, they cling to said expectations and rationalize doing so. Instead of reexamining their expectations that clearly don't match reality.
Friend: "What type of men are you into?"

Peterson: "Pet a cat when you see one in the street"

desconcerto Is that really good advice, though?
I mean, I love cats as much as anybody else, but you shouldn’t fuck around with feral cats.
First Last Way to make a completely unrelated discussion about how you hate communism.
Just like Jordan Peterson.
This is about petting cats not 20th century communism please stay on topic
I think I’ll stick to petting my own cat. Ferals are scary. Especially Aussie ferals- have you seen the size of them? They’re basically bobcats in an environment not evolved to deal with them. They’re the same size, and just as wild- many are 100+ generations wild. So I’ll pass on patting them, ta.
(Though to be fair, you’re unlikely to come across a feral of that sort in the street, the nasty big ones live out in the Australian bush)

I'm laughing at the Jordan Peterson impression, spot on
Same, I was dying when I first heard it
Hard to separate Peterson from Kermit.
I know, right? I was especially impressed because Peterson's inflection is so hard to match.
Calvin Rohan I think he could have added a little more Kermit, but that’s just me 😂
I didn't realize it was an impression. I thought he just took audio clips and sped them up a bit so they didn't last too long.
This was such a journey. It’s really fascinating watching your stuff out of order (drastically so) and having the honor of you teaching me how I’m understanding you and your content. I’m going to have to revisit this video in particular. There’s one little bit at the end that knocked me on my ass and made me cry, and I feel like I have a lot of that ahead of me. (I started at the at-present most recent content, then a bit of other slightly less recent content, have since started at the beginning, and now I jumped around a bit to uh the recent ish middle... honestly, it’s fascinating how the order I’m watching these is itself building meaning for me as I take them in. Blah blah postmodernism meaning changing blah blah 4th dimensionalism accessing time with no regard to its perceived sequence...)
Gosh I really need to finish my masters. Too many thoughts and not enough places to put them. Good morning.
By the way, thank you for putting effort into your subtitles. It really makes a difference. I'm not deaf, but I am hard of hearing, so I use subtitles for most stuff with words spoken aloud. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be completely deaf.
"Turns out to get into heaven you have to be both Muslim AND trans" Perfect start to the video
Aaron: And they do exist, and a lot more of them then you might think. openly, in Indonesia, Pakistan, and in the west, too, and they probably in other places too but hidden in places where they are way more closeted.
@@milascave2 I'm mostly sure there's at least one fundamentalist Muslim country that, while sticking to the "stone the gays" precept in the Quran, also are impressively accepting of transgender people. Weird, right?
@@henriquepacheco7473 quran never mentions stoning gays. BUT, hadiths mentions throwing them from the highest roof in town/city.
@@jendoubinour6902 Ah, well that's not quite as bad, is it?
@@henriquepacheco7473 I think you were thinking of Iran. BUT they don't accept gay trans people (so a trans feminine person is treated like a cis gay woman if they like other women, for example). Also apparently you're not legally considered trans there unless you go on hormones and get all of the surgeries (not every trans person wants to go through the whole shebang) and the Iranian government isn't 100% on the level with women's rights, either.
I could be wrong; ask for sources and I'll find some if it's that important to you.

Going contra is a verb now.

The best part of this video, is that the dead-on impression of Jordan Peterson is so close that I had to rewind to be sure it wasn't audio of JP.
Damn, just found your channel and been watching some of your old stuff. You are great, as a performer and presenter. Thanks for the effort and eloquent videos!

This is so perfect and what I’ve been trying to tell my wife for ages about Peterson’s philosophy. You are not the only true fan. He is right about so much but comes to the wrong conclusions.
Love the channel BTW. I’ve been binging for a couple days now.
this video is absolutely incredible and your ending cover fit so well and honestly made more sense and was more enjoyable than the original song (my opinion). so well done on all fronts, as i find with every video you make. thank you for providing such high quality content.
*Jordan Peterson, yelling this at you from the carpark of a Jacksonville Hooters*
I can't stop laughing at your impersonation of Peterson's speech. I just can't.
"It puts the act of categorization itself into dehwt" 😁
tbh Peter Coffins was better tho :v
@FabioMartins I was about to say the same thing! I guess I'll contribute by time stamping for the everyone. 13:25
ME TOO OMG
Most people do a Kermit impression, but Olly gets the affect right. It's almost unnerving.
Man, maybe I do not agree to all of your logical push-ups, but the effort you put in this videos and the work for constructing this arguments makes it worthwhile. Subscribed.
rewatching the old philosophy tube videos as background noise to a massive paper i have to write. your channel makes me want to study philosophy in college, which is kind of missing the point t of you giving away your degree, but hey you’ve inspired me and i really appreciate it

so JP says it's good to order your life based on some principles? Bruh, Marie Kondo has been saying this for years, and she gives better instructions!! Marie Kondo>>>Peterson
"Does this spark joy?"
"Well, that depends on what you mean by the word 'joy'. You see, according to Nietzsche..."
I have it on good authority that Marie Kondo is, in fact, a woman though. Also I bet she ain't even white. So you see we can't have that.
@@JackgarPrime goddamn I just saw Peterson in my mind kneeling in front of a pile of clothes in his bedroom looking like his usual glum self as Kondo tries to explain the concept of joy to him.

"Turns out to get into heaven you have to be both Muslim and trans"
The first time I watched the video I was Muslim
And now I'm trans so I could be only one of them each time

You were so close.

Contra, whatever you've been teaching Olly, it's working.
I am legit obsessed with Philosophy Tube and the work of Abigail Thorn.
Great video! Loved it, I’ll be watching more. I like your points on order and chaos being relative. but I’ll say jordan Peterson’s ideas really helped me put my life back together when struck with major tragedies, when my family fell apart. So...I think jordan’s chaos and order stuff is relative, relative to the individual evaluating it. So it is limited, but pragmatic and useful for tons of individuals, because at the end of the day I had to help myself. And the heaven hell thing I took as metaphorical, yet real, my life did transform to heaven from a hell. Thanks for the video, new philosophy and ideas to digest is awesome
"Inspiring angel" is a perfect description of Natalie

Brilliant video, as always, Abigail. The lyrics at the end 🤩
it’s insane that he hasn’t realized the futility of his quest yet, attempting to find objective meaning in a universe that he himself has already admitted to be objectively meaningless.
There is no meaning. Because the subject-object-division is an illusion.
@Joost Broek This wouldn't be truly objective if everything is subjective I think. But this was not my point, because I said "subject-object-division", or the I/ego is illusiory".
@Joost Broek It is hard to explain and hard to understand, because it is based on a spiritual teaching from india. It is about the fact that a seperated I from the world does not exist, but yet we feel like that and thereofore we are suffering. Google 'Advaita' or 'Nonduality' if you want to know more about it. I answered with this because the comment hinted to this circumstance when the illusion, the I or the ego, recognises his world as meaningless, because that is what our felt existence is
So, are we transitioning to a world in which we refudiate arguments with fairy and daemon essays?
