My Name is Postmodernism. Postmodernism is Anti-Reality, a Malevolent Campaign Against the Enlightenment Destroying Our Civilization. Learn more here: www.atlassociety.org/course/p...
At 70 It saddened me to watch it all unfold. As a parent I try to help but now I'm tired of trying. Unfortunately it's too late for most even those who consider themselves to be well educated. Society is strong when people pull together, they can achieve great things, but the lost generations are weak and often just plain lazy, unwilling to invest in themselves believing all should come to them without much effort or sacrifice, such is the state of the post modern society.
These ideas of postmodernism even though they are common on the Internet, they are simply not true, no major philosopher would argue feeling are better at arriving at truth than reason. What they would argue for is that reason was used to oppress people, major philosophers argued in favour of slavery in the past. Was reason at fault? Of course not they simply reasoned wrongly, and don't be arrogant to believe it won't happen again. and thats what postmodernist want to get post, they want to undermine the conclusions we arrive at through reason because we simply might be wrong like we have in the past. You can reaaon all you want that capitalism is the best economic system, but to BELIEVE that we will never find anything better than it, is delusional, and thats what postmodernists are saying. youre brainwashed, you outsource thinking and reasoning to people who have their best interests to keep the status quo. And we need the oppressed to argue against the system. If we allowed slaves to reason we might have ended slavery sooner, if we allowed black people to reason we might have ended racism sooner. To conclude, postmodernism doesn't want to reject the truth, it just dont want us to BELIEVE it the ULTIMATE truth, if that makes sense, because just like people believed in god as the ultimate truth they will kill and oppress for this truth. And they have very good arguments for it, what i mentioned are not their arguments, im merely defending their conclusions.
I have been a conservative for the past 6 years. After Jordan Peterson kept talking about post modernism I started reading post modernist philosophy. if you’re willing to admit your country can do wrong. Postmodernism will make you realize we really do live in the matrix.
These conservatives aren’t willing to admit that. That’s why postmodernism terrifies them. It’s not cynical to accurately discuss Capitalism/consumer society through materialist analysis.. These people love American Psycho and The Matrix, and then they turn around and call Postmodernism evil and dangerous without actually reading any. It’s embarrassing.
@@charliekowittmusic Post modernism doesn't scare any one. It's envy, pure and simple. The same with marxism. Having low energy and a low I.Q. is a prerequisite for post-modernism.
@@mathman43 you're also in matrix as someone who's only checked it out for a second this whole thing is insane honestly I've just been hearing word be tossed around been into deconstruction before I even knew it was a thing part of ways I do my biblical analysis and that's as someone who is still religious. This world is really a tricksters dream
Reality is eternal which means that it has no beginning and NO END. So, it does not require a defense. Reality is what deals with everyone even if everyone does not want to deal with it. Reality handles anyone that cannot handle it.
I'm not a big fan of the draw my life videos, but this one is great. The narrator, story, soundtrack... excellent. The narrator especially fits very snugly.
It is complete bull, socialism, communism or marxism is not the "father" of horseshit post-modernism. We have been fighting against these little fucks since the 70's (by we I mean marxists). There is really nothing more annoying than when ignorant people on the right call this caricature of a thought current "cltural neo marxism". This shit is not Marxism or Socialism or anything that has to do with epistemological and materialist currents. We are modernists (Marxists) they are-postodernists, they revolt against us and ultimately against reason and science. Post-modernism is the edgy fat goth girl from highschool that nobody would have touched with a 10ft pole that ultimately ended up a shriveled up roadside crackwhore and you need to be high as fuck to "understand" her mumbling or we can just call it philosophical rabies.

Thank you for a compelling depiction of the cultural effects of, and the psychological impulses behind, the Postmodernist movement. How about a follow-up analyzing the technical philosophical grounds of this ideology: Heracliteanism in metaphysics, skepticism in epistemology, subjectivism and relativism in ethics?
I look to my left and on top of my nightstand is a well read copy of Ayn Rand's "Anthem." LOL It is stacked on top of an equally wells read "Federalist Papers." On a book shelf within arms reach I have works by Nietzche, Fukuyama, John Stuart, Sun Tzu, Morihei Ueshiba, Thomas Paine, Plato, Rousseau, Marx, I could go on and on. I absolutely love philosophy.........I love anything that makes me think and reevaluate. And I loved this video.
This is but a piece of excellence in art, both in form and essence. Very long time I've had watch something so short and so well constructed. Really thank you/the team or whom ever.
@@maladyjohnson3397 I think they fall victim to the same thread of thinking when you get to the bottom of their philosophy: individuals are powerless, and all important social adaptation/progress comes from some version of the state Paleoconservatives are not like traditional conservatives, who tend to put outcomes on their own shoulders.

I rolled my eyes when Atlas Shrugged is mentioned and you call it "reality" lol. It's ideological as everything else. That book has 2 pages of a character's monologue rant about their (and the author's) ideology in fact.
Are you sticking to that shallow take? Ayn Rand was highlighted as someone opposing post-modernism. Her works of fiction were not equated to reality, Atlas Shrugged was shown to clarify her identity and elaborate upon her character.
Postmodernism is the transcendence of all structures and the awareness of how arbitrary human constructions are. It has similarities with some interpretations of the sigma meme. 🤣 It's curious that most so-called post-moderns get stuck on observing power structures and complaining about them instead of dedicating more time to transcending them. To me, they are a strange mixture of postmodernism, Marxian modernism, and antimodernism. In my opinion, postmodernism is not only about transcending good and evil. It is also about transcending strength and weakness, the modern and the primitive, the spiritual and the material, order and disorder, and the serious and the joking.
There is an issue, it’s the issue that brought me to put Rand to the side as a speaker of some wisdom but not the whole. The issue or falsehood is that posed by Rousseau, that man left to himself is free. This is false. The freedom of man is tied intrinsically to the binds of community. Freedom is an ideal that is paradoxical. It’s an ideal that Rand asserts in The Virtue of Selfishness in much the same way Sartre asserts in Being and Nothingness. In the end these two philosophies only play off each other finding no rest for they are uncompromising in the pursuit of some paradoxical ideal. They have no ability to rest in the pursuit of utopia for utopia by definition is nowhere. One asserts a completely objective utopia (Atlantis) and the other a completely subjective. One asserts the freedom of a rock and the other the freedom of death. In the end the rock isn’t much different than death and both can be found in the cemetery. Neither are the freedom of a man.
Ayn Rand, a Platonist, she ironically called Plato a mystic, a witch doctor because he points out that we only see shadows of Justice but cannot have the true form justice because that only exists in the metaphysical form....yet she speaks of the kind of Man that is the ideal Man...the ideal Man....helllllloooooooo the ideal anything is a metaphysical Form of that thing which has a Platonic form! I don't think Ayn Rand understood Plato at all. -M
I thought Ayn Rand was more a fan of Aristotle. She did not like Plato's Republic and thought it led to tyranny. I think she was right about that. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Freedom is bound by the context and conditions everyone lives under. Amazonian tribesmen might be much more free than American citizens but they can't express it on youtube after watching a video like we can.....but maybe they don't need to.
Communism of the 20th century was very modernist. Something no one seems to know is that inside the communist bloc of Europe, Asia and Cuba the government strongly advocated people to follow moral virtues as part of the process of collectivism and despised moral liberal, ideas except for antiracism, and pointing it out as being linked with capitalism. In the communist side of the world the most hated group of people were homosexuals, something that still prevails to this day in the former and remaining nations of communism. I said before that racism was badly seen in communist nations, but that was just what they said to the west by supporting black liberation movements in the US and Africa; only Cuba is the country that universally rejects racism in every way inside and outside it's borders. Inside of the communist bloc and even in the African communist nations there was racial and ethnic tensions, segregation and even anhilation.
Good video but Ayn Rand is only one side of capitalism, the selfish ugly side in my opinion. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is also part of the free market. People need to critically think for themselves and not just follow the loudest mob. Education, journalism, government, business, and criminal justice need to be retooled to focus on truth, justice, and liberty. We just need one set of simple and fair rules that everyone must follow. Democracy can't work if the participants manipulate the system to suit their whims. One country, One Constitution, One set of fair rules for all.
I feel like were going to be in this crappy miasma forever. Heres hoping that empathism overtakes it. Artistically speaking its always bothered me we could never move on. Reading ahout Romanticist in school and then post modernism, i was sure that i wanted this crappy ideology to die off all ready. Whats it been? 80 years of hur dur nothing means anything im so smort
I really wish the atlas society would stop talking about "other" things like anti-reality, post modernism, socialism, etc and just focus on objectivism. This is technically a failure of the law of excluded middle when speaking on epistemology. You don't argue truth by negating a contradiction. The communist party did this a lot by calling people facists (and defacto thinking they were the good). Please stop doing this.
@@suprstraight2421 I think the Israel Palestine issue is a very sensitive subject. Most Israelis and Palestinians just want peace. The problem is the governments on both sides
For the impressionable passing by here, up until 2'40" this video is a masterpiece.....but then it drives full speed into crazy town! If Ayn Rand's "philosophy" is the answer, then you found the question scrawled on the wall of a public toilet.
postmodernism wasn't born from Marxism. Marx himself believes in objective truth as a materialist and a positivist. Postmodernism is a rejection of these meta-narratives. Also, Postmodernism encourages individualism
Objectivists might as well be postmodernists because they promote much of the elites' ideology of atheism, sexual freedom, women's education and careers, open borders, anti-natalism, anti-familism, race mixing and letting billionaires do pretty much whatever they want. They just differ from the elites' world view on some economic matters where the powerful don't feel particularly vulnerable. And, frankly, Objectivists sound like mostly harmless kooks when they go around attacking abstractions like altruism and long-dead philosophers like Immanuel Kant, who died in 1804. That's why you True Believers aren't in danger of being canceled, deplatormed from the internet, deprived of financial services, censored, doxxed, fired from your jobs for your beliefs or railroaded for crimes you didn't commit.
As someone who has legit only spent two hours learning about post modernism and purposely did so before hopping back to criticism I completely agree and the fact so many people agree is weird and low-key exactly what these meta narratives seem to be talking about lol you have a group of people criticizing sometimes that not only they know nothing about but something they only know about through outside influences who have formed their only info on subject and made them form arguments basically out of thin air that say nothing and now here we are with a video that reached probably at least 10000 different people around world sounds pretty intellectual completely wrong and may in consequence cause someone else to make even a longer video hell in times of self publishing may even have entire authors write above it. I think maybe Peterson judges postmodern philosophers and not the idea I guess but legit only attacks it the whole thing is strange coming from a former and still somewhat supporter of Peterson and very thankful for him speaking on jung and opening up that world to me but it's crazy that someone with such a reach is so wrong it's very confusing honestly and once again I legit have only been looking into this for two hours and only read portions of original guys book on it
@@scienceisreal779 not really but if you think it’s just some coincidence that postmodernist professors that infest university systems are also ground zero of Marxism then I’m not sure how to help you. They both rely necessarily on the faulty assumption that objective truth does not exist and all societal standards are malleable. At best you have some pedantic theoretical objection (incompatibility) based on some definition you read that no one uses or adheres to and is not useful in reality or some book told you it was intellection to make some nitpicky argument. Observable fact trumps theory. Ok I already wasted enough time arguing how many angels fit on the head of a pin
@@lchpdmq do you know anything about either subject? It's a fallacy to think they are similar if you hear about both in the same places. Marxism proclaims an objective materialist view over history and reality. Post modernism is all about subjective experiences. Those schools of thought are simply incompatible and just because they are both discussed in schools doesn't mean they are similar.
@@may-kq8tj no it goes in perfectly with that because those ideologies also claim to be skeptical about metanarratives and they seek the destruction of objective truths because their delusional ideals defy reality
okay.. I don't think this is about the philosopy of postmodernisem. Is it something else you hate maybe? why am I seeing this in my feed? just pure intellectual sewage. slurp it up. that is the real postmodernisem. ah I get it, its meta. clever girl
@@classonbread5757 no they don't, people who self identify as leftists and liberals who also say they are post modernists don't understand post modernism

@@bludeuce3855 you managed to misunderstand both socialism and postmodernism. Postmodernism is a philosophical movement, that is not politically charged at all. Even postmodernist philosophers rejected to label themselves as such. Postmodernist ideas are extremely abstract and deal with concepts that simply doesn't concern the public, they are concepts from and for philosophical discourse.
@@chrisAN3681 Man that's an old joke, I forgot most of the context about. I think: alongside Christian culture is Greek/Roman Culture which makes up western culture as a whole. In western culture, Ancient cultures were greek and roman, then in medieval culture was heavily Christian, Then the re-production of greek and roman culture marks the beginning of a thing people call "Modernism"
My name is classical liberalism, and I'm desperate to avoid how deeply self-serving my classical liberalism is Booking are exploited and millions die so I can pay for my pretence of beauty and truth. If others suffer and I can create a psychological boundary between myself and them as being enlightened, I can avoid all responsibility to change. But when it turns out statistically that my claims of meritocracy, beauty and truth are just flimsy products built on a foundation of colonial genocide, I'll make a bogeyman out of those criticisms and call it "post-modernism".

Yes, but it leaves some hope for 2022 and beyond.
Communism of the 20th century was very modernist. Something no one seems to know is that inside the communist bloc of Europe, Asia and Cuba the government strongly advocated people to follow moral virtues as part of the process of collectivism and despised moral liberal, ideas except for antiracism, and pointing it out as being linked with capitalism. In the communist side of the world the most hated group of people were homosexuals, something that still prevails to this day in the former and remaining nations of communism. I said before that racism was badly seen in communist nations, but that was just what they said to the west by supporting black liberation movements in the US and Africa; only Cuba is the country that universally rejects racism in every way inside and outside it's borders. Inside of the communist bloc and even in the African communist nations there was racial and ethnic tensions, segregation and even anhilation.
As Churchill said, socialism is the gospel of envy.
Good video but Ayn Rand is only one side of capitalism, the selfish ugly side in my opinion. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is also part of the free market. People need to critically think for themselves and not just follow the loudest mob. Education, journalism, government, business, and criminal justice need to be retooled to focus on truth, justice, and liberty. We just need one set of simple and fair rules that everyone must follow. Democracy can't work if the participants manipulate the system to suit their whims. One country, One Constitution, One set of fair rules for all.
Awesome
Common sense says, reason that is not reason is like science that is not science or news that is not news.
Great video but to be fair the lambo looked more like a ferrari f40
When you take all your information on an ideology from Perterson's lecture about it
I feel like were going to be in this crappy miasma forever. Heres hoping that empathism overtakes it. Artistically speaking its always bothered me we could never move on.
Reading ahout Romanticist in school and then post modernism, i was sure that i wanted this crappy ideology to die off all ready.
Whats it been? 80 years of hur dur nothing means anything im so smort
Technically the postmoderists are right .. its never an answer you like but they are right ... the answer to everything is nagation..
nice
Nice.
Woooooow #preach
Wow I think I'm here early
Wow😮
Dayum
Hello...yes!
Actually poste modernism absolutely rights, according to this world.But yeah postmodernism destroyed realism
I really wish the atlas society would stop talking about "other" things like anti-reality, post modernism, socialism, etc and just focus on objectivism. This is technically a failure of the law of excluded middle when speaking on epistemology. You don't argue truth by negating a contradiction. The communist party did this a lot by calling people facists (and defacto thinking they were the good). Please stop doing this.
Very good point
Facist used Red baiting
Cool

Lol @ imagining you “know more now.” Shhh...they already know you know. What you gonna do? Hahahahahahahaha
Does a postmodernist believe that a circle is round? I took a lot of philosophy classes in a very good university. Most of it is mental masturbation.

For the impressionable passing by here, up until 2'40" this video is a masterpiece.....but then it drives full speed into crazy town! If Ayn Rand's "philosophy" is the answer, then you found the question scrawled on the wall of a public toilet.
very good video, but also very biased
Rand's not Jesus.
postmodernism wasn't born from Marxism. Marx himself believes in objective truth as a materialist and a positivist. Postmodernism is a rejection of these meta-narratives. Also, Postmodernism encourages individualism
Lmao that was fun
Objectivists might as well be postmodernists because they promote much of the elites' ideology of atheism, sexual freedom, women's education and careers, open borders, anti-natalism, anti-familism, race mixing and letting billionaires do pretty much whatever they want. They just differ from the elites' world view on some economic matters where the powerful don't feel particularly vulnerable. And, frankly, Objectivists sound like mostly harmless kooks when they go around attacking abstractions like altruism and long-dead philosophers like Immanuel Kant, who died in 1804. That's why you True Believers aren't in danger of being canceled, deplatormed from the internet, deprived of financial services, censored, doxxed, fired from your jobs for your beliefs or railroaded for crimes you didn't commit.
This video is so irrelevant that actually it's impossible to critic. The creators have no idea what postmodernism is.
As someone who has legit only spent two hours learning about post modernism and purposely did so before hopping back to criticism I completely agree and the fact so many people agree is weird and low-key exactly what these meta narratives seem to be talking about lol you have a group of people criticizing sometimes that not only they know nothing about but something they only know about through outside influences who have formed their only info on subject and made them form arguments basically out of thin air that say nothing and now here we are with a video that reached probably at least 10000 different people around world sounds pretty intellectual completely wrong and may in consequence cause someone else to make even a longer video hell in times of self publishing may even have entire authors write above it. I think maybe Peterson judges postmodern philosophers and not the idea I guess but legit only attacks it the whole thing is strange coming from a former and still somewhat supporter of Peterson and very thankful for him speaking on jung and opening up that world to me but it's crazy that someone with such a reach is so wrong it's very confusing honestly and once again I legit have only been looking into this for two hours and only read portions of original guys book on it
Socialism is democracy in the workplace. Let Google engineers design Google, not the banks!
Postmodernism and Marxism are incompatable. I wish you did your research
Lol, sounds like someone hates reality
@@lchpdmq care to explain what you mean and justify it?
@@scienceisreal779 not really but if you think it’s just some coincidence that postmodernist professors that infest university systems are also ground zero of Marxism then I’m not sure how to help you. They both rely necessarily on the faulty assumption that objective truth does not exist and all societal standards are malleable. At best you have some pedantic theoretical objection (incompatibility) based on some definition you read that no one uses or adheres to and is not useful in reality or some book told you it was intellection to make some nitpicky argument. Observable fact trumps theory. Ok I already wasted enough time arguing how many angels fit on the head of a pin
@@lchpdmq do you know anything about either subject? It's a fallacy to think they are similar if you hear about both in the same places. Marxism proclaims an objective materialist view over history and reality. Post modernism is all about subjective experiences. Those schools of thought are simply incompatible and just because they are both discussed in schools doesn't mean they are similar.
@@lchpdmq it's like saying that evolution and creationism are similar because they are both taught in some schools
When you have too much time on your hand and have an understanding of postmodernism that mirrors Jordan Peterson
Elaborate. What is post-modernism? Do any of you even know?
@@Elmasdrakosinfenixov do you? Post modernism is skepticism towards metanarratives.
@@may-kq8tj in other words neither JBP nor this vid in any way contradict that statement and infact adress it
@@Elmasdrakosinfenixov that contradicts the claims about social justice and Id politics 🙄.
@@may-kq8tj no it goes in perfectly with that because those ideologies also claim to be skeptical about metanarratives and they seek the destruction of objective truths because their delusional ideals defy reality
okay.. I don't think this is about the philosopy of postmodernisem. Is it something else you hate maybe? why am I seeing this in my feed? just pure intellectual sewage. slurp it up. that is the real postmodernisem. ah I get it, its meta. clever girl
you realize that post modernists don't like socialism right?
Socialists do not like postmodernism but postmodernists like socialism.
@@classonbread5757 no they don't, people who self identify as leftists and liberals who also say they are post modernists don't understand post modernism
@@radiantsquare007jrdeluxe9 Possibly, I had the average intersectionalist in mind.
This is what happens when you mistake postmodernism for radical feminism!
postmodernism is worse than i thought
It's at the root of so much wrong in America...
you got brainwashed
These ideas of postmodernism even though they are common on the Internet, they are simply not true, no major philosopher would argue feeling are better at arriving at truth than reason.
What they would argue for is that reason was used to oppress people, major philosophers argued in favour of slavery in the past. Was reason at fault? Of course not they simply reasoned wrongly, and don't be arrogant to believe it won't happen again. and thats what postmodernist want to get post, they want to undermine the conclusions we arrive at through reason because we simply might be wrong like we have in the past.
You can reaaon all you want that capitalism is the best economic system, but to BELIEVE that we will never find anything better than it, is delusional, and thats what postmodernists are saying.
youre brainwashed, you outsource thinking and reasoning to people who have their best interests to keep the status quo. And we need the oppressed to argue against the system. If we allowed slaves to reason we might have ended slavery sooner, if we allowed black people to reason we might have ended racism sooner.
To conclude, postmodernism doesn't want to reject the truth, it just dont want us to BELIEVE it the ULTIMATE truth, if that makes sense, because just like people believed in god as the ultimate truth they will kill and oppress for this truth.
And they have very good arguments for it, what i mentioned are not their arguments, im merely defending their conclusions.
@@tamimiemran9705 your opinion doesnt hold proof postmodernism is just basicly like Socialism which loves to censor the truth and spread lies
@@bludeuce3855 you managed to misunderstand both socialism and postmodernism. Postmodernism is a philosophical movement, that is not politically charged at all. Even postmodernist philosophers rejected to label themselves as such. Postmodernist ideas are extremely abstract and deal with concepts that simply doesn't concern the public, they are concepts from and for philosophical discourse.
Reality is Greek/ Pagan.
Reject Christian Modernity; Embrace Traditional Paganism.
??? WTF!!! '-'
@@chrisAN3681 Man that's an old joke, I forgot most of the context about.
I think: alongside Christian culture is Greek/Roman Culture which makes up western culture as a whole.
In western culture, Ancient cultures were greek and roman, then in medieval culture was heavily Christian,
Then the re-production of greek and roman culture marks the beginning of a thing people call "Modernism"
My name is classical liberalism, and I'm desperate to avoid how deeply self-serving my classical liberalism is
Booking are exploited and millions die so I can pay for my pretence of beauty and truth. If others suffer and I can create a psychological boundary between myself and them as being enlightened, I can avoid all responsibility to change. But when it turns out statistically that my claims of meritocracy, beauty and truth are just flimsy products built on a foundation of colonial genocide, I'll make a bogeyman out of those criticisms and call it "post-modernism".
tfw you don't know what post-modernism is, so you mix it up with socialism cause you don't know what that is, either
Bro look up french postmodernist intellectuals wanting to abolish the age of consent. It's a way to gain leverage with victimhood optics
@@misnmer9224it was very common for French people to have this attitude outside of postmodern thinkers.
