The algorithm recommended me this video while I was searching for music by Guillaume Du Fay, eerily appropriate I think. In a strange twist of fate, I discovered Heideggar and Spengler during the COVID-19 lockdowns and they all at once confirmed deep-seated inklings I had about the world and changed the way I thought about my relationship to the world. They deserve much more recognition than they receive. In any case, you've got a new subscriber. Take care!
“Just as the classical mind felt Prometheus’ defiance of the gods as ‘Hybris,’ so our Baroque felt the Machine as diabolical. The sprit of Hell had betrayed to man the secret of mastering the world-mechanism and even of himself enacting the part of God.”-Also Sprach Spengler
I have to admit I've been ignorant of Spengler. Of course, as an "American", even with a liberal arts education, I've had most Germans excluded from my education, as historically the anglophile nature of our thinking year is quite comprehensive, due to our historical relation to England and the fact we speak English. My university education in philosophy was mostly Locke, Descartes, Hume, Berkeley, Hobbes .. and the requisite nod to Plato, Socrates, Aristotle. Pretty much besides some trendy Nietzsche and a mention of Kant everything from German Idealism into Heidegger and Wittgenstein and Frankfurt School, etc. I've had to piece together myself over the years.
man as god, man as machine, man as computer ... strange how we envision ourselves becoming what we create, time after time it may seem ... thanks for bringing Spengler's Faustian conceptualization of civilization to our attention ... and "money using democracy as it means", wow - we've always been aware of the tempting influence of money, but more and more I've thought and realized how intrinsically sickening and debilitating is our relationship to the abstracted power and reverence of money

2:30 possibly the most effective jumpscare ever made
Entirely involuntarily
@@JohannesNiederhauser But it kinda gets a point about the machine.
@@ghoch3 that's due to the wondrous workings of the machine then
@@JohannesNiederhauser An instance of negativity uncanny for the smooth workings of the machine.
@@JohannesNiederhauser ... or so one says
It’s actually quite scary how much he got right
And the scariest part is destined to come as well...
Caesarism...

our belief in having no limits is our downfall ... the avalanche, the tempest, the pit - they all await us
Just discovered spengler. Very interesting 🤓

English philosophy is pretty sterile, isn't it? There are no life-affirming qualities in English philosophy like there is in German philosophy.
Wow you missed A LOT. It’s no wonder the Anglo-world is such a mess.

Man im 15 i feel old as hell
Those tomatoes are very loud
something went terribly wrong with this video 2:30 min in - and the subtitles there are amusing, but very incorrect.
The machine fought back
but ... but .. I like machines 😔
