Achievement shouldn't be measured as a number, but something in me still wants to scream that this channel needs more subscribers. Your humble yet passionate personality is perfect for this type of material. Thank you!!
Is it just me, or is et al like the greatest scientist and thinker of all time? He's been involved in like almost every paper I ever see.
You mean an individual who produced bias “research” to paint a particular group of people as bad ?
In the perspective of Adorno's whole philosophy it seems that the authoritarian personality is yet another category arising from the dominance of exchange value and the compulsion of identity in bourgeois society
our obsession with individual identity is yet a highly underdeveloped area of exploration, as it is the given that is a taboo
Thanks for the education, and thanks for turning us on to Muna!
1000 pages! God! How much time did it take for you read all that and get the crux out of it? Can you share how can we read and comprehend such long texts as well?
I second this! I retain info well but I’m a slow reader and every tip helps!
I think this book would make me cry
he didn't read it
Just in time, we're covering this topic in one of my classes in a couple weeks
In order to truly understand this test and its authors and contributors you must go back further than its publication date. To the group of ppl involved, the institution they come from, and the ideologies they pursued.
Not to mention that counter studies showed that natives of Israel were even more “authoritative”
Thanks David. This is another terrific episode and so relevant to many events happening around the world at the moment. Which Adorno et al text talks about the scales? Is it D of E??
Love the background
You gotta do Pedagogy of the Oppressed soon
seems highly apropos of these times, as i guess as it has of most western times, thanks for refreshing our minds on this concept
have you ever read the works of Vladimir Safatle on the failures of the enlightment and the need to move away from the subjectivity of the "individual"? unfortunately his work is more often translated from portuguese to french instead of english, as is usually the case with brazilian philosophy academia.
I don't know how to feel about these scales, it reminds me of that stupid political compass test lol
or the dark triad personality test
In-group out-group still prevails
Your video broke me. I've had to stop and rewind this video multiple times as I can't stop crying. For the past week I have been immersed and perhaps overexposed to the events that occurred in Israel and Palestine. I've spent hours watching the horrific footage and reading and listening to people's opinions about the events. I'm not sure if it was intentional but the ethnocentrism, and socialization touched upon in the video explains so much about these tragedies, the discourse surrounding these tragedies and our culture.
The deaths in Israel are truly monstrous but it kills me to see Western and Israeli politicians to use these deaths to manufacture consent for a genocide in Gaza. Similarly saddening is to see pro-palestinian groups, (groups that I had worked with in the past) unwilling to denounce the killing of civilians in Israel, who see the killing of civilians (not just soldiers) as necessary loss in the "path to liberation". These two sides dominate the discourse online. In both cases almost every death, every report, every image is used as a means to justify other deaths, to stereotype and to justify war crimes. There seems to be little common recognition of humanity, too few spaces to grieve with others, and very little effort to stop more violence and backsliding I to authoritarianism. I cannot get the horrific images out of my head. Our culture is profoundly alienating.
The wars won't end until humans change ... we are still in a modern version of the dark ages ... but we will endure. Peace
This reminds me of the Stanford prison experiment!!!!!
did anyone notice that he was telling about how Nazi German commited genocide against gay people? Isn't it funny?))
More Adorno please! :)
"PhD from Western University's Media Studies department" oh ffs
I'm also very gayotic. (For a straight guy.)
(Lack of philosophy in upbringing (conservatism) leads to 'autoritarian personalities'. Monogamist bullcrap & what have you.)
more adorno!!!!!!!!!
What a terrible theory. How do people honestly believe this?
Why should anyone think anti-antisemitism, racism, ethnocentrism, and euro-centrism has anything to do with specifically _the notion of authority_ in-itself? Why are the former abstracted onto the latter? This is just a one-sided metaphysical view of authority, a very selective generalization of parts attributed to the whole. Why is "democracy" not equated with authority, and why "rules" are in-themselves supposed to be bad?
Because the entire goal of this text and the entire Frankfurt institution was to create narratives to destroy the west
No one cares about the "superior race", just like no one actually believes in this "God" concept. Am I the only one who chills with fascists?
(But yes, very rational while highly irrational.)
