I think with discussions of hyper pro trump or Kamala we need to talk about about how hype Kamala supports, or even just a Kayla supporter in general are more aggressive thinking something doesn’t hurt anyone but when people are getting hurt, and towns are burning down that’s where the problem is
Great video! Just wanted to point out that the allegory of the cave is not about being distracted by entertainment but rather philosophy in general. Basically the shadows are the things we perceive within the world while the things which are projecting the shadow are the true nature of the things. This is quite a hard concept to convey but an example is the abstraction between the name of a thing, and the actual thing itself. We abstract commonalities amongst many objects which are similar and create a single word for it to describe them, but each individual object on its own is unique. By abstracting similarities we are creating an awareness of "true forms of objects that we can only perceive through reason" tldr: The video was great but when you discuss concepts like "truly understanding something" it hurts your argument if you misunderstand a famous philosophical allegory.
thanks for watching and adding to this! I love discussing philosophy and my peanut brain wasn't able to convey this as well as I would have liked, but the overarching thought of this video is the sentiment of philosophy and higher thinking... thus, learning to think for yourself and not taking what you see as reality... which the cave demonstrates.
@@notdinofavara Ah I see. When you phrase it like that I can definitely see that its a good metaphor. My bad for not connecting the dots. I wasn't trying to criticize so I wouldn't say you have a peanut brain haha. Just figured I'd give feedback on my impression. Keep up the good work, best of luck on the channel.
Given how everybody's lives are different from each individual, you can't really change reality that there will be extremes to any side in an argument. That's reality of humanity even outside of politics. It's as simple as looking for information and judging the evidence yourself, before making your own decision. Look at Trump years ago when he was still "friends" with Oprah or those The View hosts. Look at him now. Has he been consistent in his views and words for the main part? Do those views show on his platforms and policies? Now look at Kamala. Has her views been consistent between the past and the present? Has she been flip-flopping? Do you see if it affects her current platforms and policies? Make your own decision after thinking. That's the only thing that really matters. Doing selfless things like loving your neighbor even if they hate you for everything you are, is only possible after you're able to love yourself and have the leeway to do more. Because if you give away everything you have to others who don't even appreciate it, despite the fact that it comes at the expense of your own self wholly, you're simply living in a Communist relationship.
I don't care about any of this noise. Which 4 years were better? The one's under trump or kamala. Easy answer, it was objectively better under trump. I'm not voting for the person, I'm voting for the policies.
I clicked to tell you and every other naive individuals that it don't matter who you vote for, it's a charade... Blackrock and the likes will still be manifesting their nefarious agendas...
Lame video
at least you're honest!
Men used to fight wars, work in coal mines, and build cities. Now “men” do this. What has happened to country I once loved??
hate to break it to you but men still do all of those things lol

@@cooperdavies9914 bro all good. I gladly appreciate feedback as well as discussion, so I really appreciated the comment and push! 🫶🏻
yeah a lot of young people cannot provide a reason for voting their candidate. being able to explain should be the minimum
100% I don't mind if someone votes differently than me, but don't do it because your favorite influencers or the media tell you what to do
Liberals can’t explain, maga crowd witch is made up of conservatives independents and liberals know exactly why we like Trump

very good points! you can't change the reality, but you can step away to think outside of what is pushed
Really tired takes man. This is such a half hearted "both-sides-are-flawed" argument. Most people feel the way you do.
100% agree. I think more people feel like this than care to admit. I like your username btw LOL

well said and same so I do!

it's sad to realize that so much of our country is controlled and manipulated by "unseen" and "quiet" financial institutions.

Kamala is pro war backed by big pharma and controlled by establishment politicians Trump is the complete opposite of that…. It’s not all the same lol
