honestly, if you want to internalize the information well, id suggest reading it. listening is important for some things, but i think it only helps so much after a certain point. thank you though i am humbled
One point I did notice in the video that I'm not sure I necessarily agree with, system complexity is not always correlated to potential and introducing too many dependencies especially ones that are cross layer dependent can actually incur structural rigidity rather than than other way around. too many conditions to move, and suddenly no movement occurs type deal. This feels especially true within humans where even trying to integrate all variables, one will quickly hit a complexity limit, requiring downscaling to retain functionality. I wouldn't say Robin Dunbar's theory for relationships is an absolute representation of that, but does support the notion. George A. Miller's theory for data processing in context to variable limits also points to this.
This is a good point. There is a point in complexity where you have reached a maximum with your variables and thus if you want to change, you can't, because you're holding onto too many things at once. I guess it comes down to finding a balance, your own personal balance, where you both can retain functionality, have a certain level complexity, and still be able to change. This also means you have to be willing to simplify in order to maintain change, and sometimes, at least with myself, I can become so obsessed with complexity that I forget that, while instead, I should simplify, because otherwise I'm stagnating, and that's the last thing I want.
Hey there, stumbled on you through the allmighty algorithm. I like the format of furry philosophy and would recommend you to get into dialectical materialism, it will give you a greater insight into overarching systems of thought and the methods of logic we use to understand reality and what the nature of these methods is.
Hi! I'm glad you like the format, I've been feeling some uncertainty with it but was going to continue on until releasing a set number of videos in this format and later analyzing whether it should stay or go. I plead ignorant to my knowledge of dialectical materialism, and based on the Wikipedia page, I have a variety of sources I can choose from to get many different wordings and perspectives. It might be some weeks until I produce a video on dialectical materialism, I want to consume multiple different sources and then let them sit in my brain for a while, and then only then will I finally put something together based on all I had internalized. It seems I will want to read "Das Kapital," "Science of Logic," "Materialism and Empirio-criticism," "In Defence of Marxism," "History and Class Consciousness," "On Contradiction," "The Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature," "Dialectics of Nature," and "Dialectical and Historical Materialism." These essays and books will probably give me a bare-minimum ability to talk about dialectical materialism, and as you might expect, I may or may not like the ideas presented, so even if I do make a video, the ideas presented in the literature could be reflected in a bad light. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep on making videos. I don't really consume philosophical content as often anymore-- I don't feel like I need it. However, I think it's okay to explore new ideas, and all the content that I have consumed is still a part of me, and clearly shines through my writing.
@@Vekinuma uhm that's quite the book list, i would recommend you to focus on the basics, ie "dialectical and historical materialism", "dialectics of nature", "on contradiction" and "dialectical materialism and empirio-criticism" these will easily take at least a year to get a good grip on. Take your time and don't overwork yourself pls. ^~^
@@mo_shiota1637 Oh, alright. I can give it a year, but I think I'd still want to go through everything I've listed. Especially if I give it a year, I'm going to end up reading all the criticisms of these ideas, and then eventually criticisms of the criticisms.
I don't think anything would change if I suddenly became totally free, in a way I already am. Freedom means nothing if you are the only person who can experience it. If the whole society would suddenly stop believing in all of the restrains of all the world around there would surely be chaos, not because humans are inherently incapable of behaving rationally or anything but rather because people raised to believe blindly that every single rule imposed on them must be followed or consequences must be faced will take an absence of consequence as a sign that now everything is allowed. In reality most people who often say in their everyday life that they wish they could murder someone would either chicken out when faced with the possibility of making their fantasy true or would go through with it and end up experiencing overbearing guilt immediately after. Don't get me wrong, someone would certainly find such an experience cathartic but it's certainly not the norm. I probably should continue and present some actual arguments and solutions and such but I feel like I have already put too much effort into this comment that's barely even related to the topic of the video.
Yes, I think many people have opportunities to do things that they claim they want to do, and when the opportunity arises, they don't seize it. It frustrates me to no end, especially when they complain about not having the thing they want, despite being in control of obtaining the thing or not. Fully free or not, we have a lot of control, more control than we realize, and many are unwilling to seize the control over themselves to do the things they want. They would rather perpetuate the stagnation than experience the change and finally get what they want.
Indeed. I've spent a lot of time being betrayed by others which had ruined my ability to identify those who I can and cannot trust, but I think that has been going through a lot of repair lately.
this video was really good. I will probably need to come back and rewatch it when i can actually give it the thought it deserves lol

In any ways good luck for your channel and your future projects :3
Thank you!

It’s tough to identify trustworthy individuals.
