I did a symptomatic essay last year for a media class in uni. I compared The Wolf of Wall Street and Fight Club and argued that they are often misconstrued by their chosen audience. I only analysed the films unfortunately. I share Nick's opinion that the film fails to condemn Tyler's actions, and that it essentially makes a martyr out of him.
Great episode guys! I especially loved Nick’s piece at the beginning. If only there was another video where I could hear even more Fight Club discussion from y’all…
A book based on a great and truly American sentiment of bloodletting . Although not a big fan of this Man’s work : I genuinely appreciate his attempt at capturing this often suppressed instinct that is as vital to Our culture as hearth and home and the right to bear arms . The American Man that I am loves the book and the movie … but My intellect finds it half baked . P.S. : His name is pronounced : Puh’Latch’Ickkk!
Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I don't know that the book was trying to be something intellectual. To me it was a primal expression of healthy anger given the target. This kind of anger comes with its own pitfalls if not handled carefully but the book builds all those warnings in too. The movie is another story, but I think the book's philosophy or whatever you want to call it can stand up on its own, it might not be Thomas Pynchon, but to me it felt like a fully realized version of what it was meant to be
As I mentioned before, u two r very smooth, charming, n charismatic in ur really insightful n enlightening controversial book summaries 📚 We can listen to u both talk all day. 🥰
Another great episode. The idea of the rules of the fight club, and eventually project mayhem, is they're supposed to reflect the spontaneous rule making of childhood games. (This is stolen from Chuck Palahniuk interviews not my original thoughts). The way children, particular boys, spontaneously create games and order from the ether. The floor is lava. Goalie when needed. If you kick the ball off the pitch you have to fetch it. If you're off the ground you can't be tigged. If you're not moving you can't be tigged. Etc etc. The members of fight club are bringing spontaneous order, and therefore meaning, to their lives. The irony is, their lives DO get more meaning from these completely off-hand and contradictory rules, than they get from their more rational normal lives. Without going off on too much of a tangent, it also reveals a misunderstanding of anarchism in general. Anarchism isn't anti-order and hierarchy per se. It is anti-involuntary-hierarchies. This is why is it so anti-state. But voluntary groups and hierarchies, such as a Fight Club, are fine.
"We are the fastest-growing economy in the world and are the fifth largest economy. We are a rich nation with a poor population. Our country is rich, but the population is poor facing starvation, unemployment, poverty, inflation, casteism, untouchability and other factors that are not good for the progress of the society," Nitin Gadkari (Indian politician)
@@Alexios_CV nice.. Lisbon sounds exciting!! Είμαι πίσω από τις κάμερες στη παραγωγή του καναλιού, μπορεί να επιστρέψω για κανένα δυο επεισόδια αλλά η Ραφαέλα κι ο nick είναι πολύ καλύτεροι σε αυτόν τον τομέα. Ο καθένας στο είδος του 🤭

Another great episode.

You guys didn’t get it. Marla made the narrator feel emasculated is why he created Tyler.
Come on guys nobody is dying in India just like that its the 5th biggest economy in the world.

Wasn't trying to knock India, its just a stand in for me for a tough place
