I just need you to know that this presentation style is ideal lecture format for my learning style. In the age of AI and short attention spans, your pacing between topics and storytelling narrative are what I want to call the IDEAL teaching mechanism. This is glorious and I want to thank you personally.

I just found this not too long ago and I'm the fourth video in. It's very informative. I love how you compare what is happening today to what happened during the time of the Nazi regime. Those who cannot see it remind me of those in the cave from "Allegory of the Cave" by Socrates.

You're one of them. You're taking everything said hook, line, and sinker without independent analysis. Arendt would role over in her grave if she knew her writings were being twisted into pretzels by none other than totalitarians, who are using their supposed understanding of her work to hide behind it.

Looking very forward to this, man. Thank you. Super interesting stuff

Thanks m8 for the video! Very good one. When is the next part 5 video coming out? Can't wait!

Thanks for this series David. Question: perhaps I’ve missed but does Arendt say a lot about Christian faith as perhaps the one biggest reason/excuse used for racism and anti-semitism, for example in explaining the Dutch boer’s racism and anti-semitism? They were/are quite radical Christians. Does she reject that (common) idea, or does she just add many more factors to it?

You said no one would watch after the second video. Ha! Try me!

I got 4 videos in just for him to go from sounding like a highly-informative, seemingly-educated mind, to one that cannot seem to keep his emotions under control enough to keep his political opinions out of what started off (and was advertised as) a book summary. Why does every example have to be slighted against a particular political party or persons? I was excited and now I'm just bummed out I got this far, only to have to stop. Take this as a hint.

You're the smartest person I've seen that's staring at shadows on a wall in a cave.

[@benzur3503]

I can’t believe you’re applying political theory to actual political phenomena smh 🤦‍♂️ using analysis tools for their stated purpose? What has the world come to
