Excellent attitude MM. The inquiring mind, free to pursue knowledge, unburdened by dogma; what joy! So glad, I am an uneducated man, free to learn as I please.
Dude I had no idea they came after you like this, although it’s not surprising In hindsight. I think it goes to show how potent the subject matter is. I’m glad I found your channel, and will engage with you further at your website soon.
Absolutely, keep on doing exactly what you are doing! What they said about you is not crazy it is Evil! They are the evil ones pupetteering humanity for the Elites whom they serve and who brainwashed them years ago and who don't want anyone to have freedom of analytical thought.
Unfortunately, I can only give one thumbs up and not two - but as always, I am deeply impressed how you manage to keep calm about these personal and condescending attacks. Incidentally, I quite agree with your considerations.
Great question. When the article calling him Putin's Brain came out in 2014 (as I recall), I was expecting policymakers to consult with me because of the translation expertise! Didn't happen. But yeah, knowledge of primary sources of this kind should be helpful.
A quote from a Ph.D. Thesis I read years ago that is very relevant: "To dispute such logic is to invite denunciation by the closed shop. Given that the people who have played roles in criminalizing, harassing and vilifying the Right come forward as its ideological interpreters, we can understand a State/liberal-hegemonic process in train to ensure no Right force ever enters mainstream politics. Unsurprisingly, Right politics has remained a beast in the shadows with even the histories of its leaders and structures falsified to propaganda advantage."
@@millerman I know I'm late to comment on this. Just listened to a lecture of John J. Mearsheimer where the moderator asks how many times has he spoken to foreign policy officials regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. His answer shocked me: "I have never been asked any question regarding this topic by anyone from the government." You cannot overestimate the hubris and overconfidence of the ruling class of the US.
You're going to become even more famous soon, bud. Better be ready for it. I'd say you're already in line to become the new Lindsay Shepard. That aside, I found out about you through randomly hearing about Dugin on different geopolitics channels. Watched your talk on The Agenda. You did well; kept your cool and I agree that even as a liberal, I found Steve's behaviour a bit straining. Keep up the good work. It may be something I might not agree with, but we need critical thinkers who don't fit the mold.
The article isn't even be worth answering. What horrific, viciously ignorant bullying. Great to happen upon a political theorist who also reads Berdyaev and Solovyov. Thank you for translating Dugin's work.
it is crazy to learn how things are at the university. please keep introducing ideas from the ‘Russian sphere’ - decent info on Dugin and lot’s of other stuff i have not yet heard about is very hard to find. Cheers from Copenhagen 🇩🇰
Уважаемый Миллерман, мне было очень приятно узнать о Вас в новом видео Лорена Соузерна. Я тоже родом из Канады, как и Вы, и изучаю русский язык. Со вторжения Украины мне стало довольно интересно поподробнее разобраться в том, как рассуждает Путин, и именно по каким причинам он принимал эти решения в Украине. По-этому у меня есть к вам один вопрос: какую книгу Дугина Вы бы больше всего посоветовал, чтобы это сделать? Если перевода на английский пока что не существует, ничего страшного, буду читать ее тогда на русском. Спасибо заранее.)
I am surprised and feel disappointment on implementation of ‘freedom of speech’ by Toronto university in your case. It seems to be the liberal understanding of diversity and freedom of speech only includes opinions that are approved by the state
You're welcome. Yes, I would consider making a video on that topic sometime in the next month or two. If you haven't done so already, you can watch on YT his first Noomahia lectures, given in Serbia, in English, where he begins to explain the three logoi. That's the main topic of the first book in the Noomahia series. There's also the text of an interview he did about Noomahia coming out in English before too long in a volume called "Political Platonism," to be published by Arktos. Anyway, thanks for watching and glad you're enjoying the videos and anything else.
Thanks for your reply @@millerman. Watching the last noomahia lecture now, but his accent makes it hard for me to concentrate. A failure on my part. But fascinating stuff!
"Political theory ideas do not coalesce into action" but eventually you have to act and hopefully not act out. Read Heidegger and Derrida and read Allan Bloom and Dugin/Zizek/and Chomsky. And in the end do not be a slogan shouting part of a mob, always speak from experience first and abstractions after.
Marxist materialism does not make those distinctions you make between ideas and practice, in fact it rejects it. Ideas is bourgeois. The ideas of a man is in his work and what he does. That's why they reacted that way, it is part of their ideology. But then again, your idea of dispassionate and independent learning of ideas is a liberal idea, which is contested by illiberals. Although truth be told, I am not sure any University ever followed those values of liberalism. They never really emancipated from their medieval origin where theology was supreme. Maybe in some fields like natural science, it happened, but not in any of the other departments.
Are you serious? First, were things really going great in the West? Second, Dugin is the one who made things change for them? Dugin's political theories rather than real social and economic conditions changed things for the West?
Understanding stands to judgment and action as potency to actuality. There is nothing wrong in what you say, you say it very well, I am 100% in agreement. This is the sound presupposition for a judgment. But, you say nothing about judgment. Furthermore, since assent to judgment passes also through the heart, there is a second thing missing. (i) You do not say whether you like his philosophy or not. And (ii) whether he is right or not. What is my point? -In academia, one should not only have the right of understanding; he should also have the right of judment and liking. Interestinly enough, long before students and professors lost the right to understanding, they had lost the right to judgment and liking. After analysis, the speaker was leaving the questionof judgment to his audience. But if you do not have the right to like the philosophy that you study, and the right to to determine in which way it is right, what's the point of understanding it in the first place? Totalitarianism has its own logic. It prescribes the way universities function in the West today. And U of Toronto is in no way an exception. In the New Speak 'liberalism' means totalitarianism and is incompatible with free thinking. Universities, therefore, are supposed to indoctrinate students, and for that teachers have to have indoctrinated themselves first.
Excellent attitude MM.

Michael, keep doing what you are doing! The west desperately needs more of people like you. Так держать!

How does our government make foreign policy decisions about Russia if they don't have good translations of such important documents?
Great question. When the article calling him Putin's Brain came out in 2014 (as I recall), I was expecting policymakers to consult with me because of the translation expertise! Didn't happen. But yeah, knowledge of primary sources of this kind should be helpful.

@Сперти за правду Calling people illiberals doesn't help your case lol in fact if the shoe fits ...

seems like that is accurate. Do you play tennis?
Oh no, he has "arcane" interests! Oh no, he thinks there might be more to life than beer, sportsball, porn and shopping! He must be canceled!
Thanks for your work on Dugin Dr Millerman. Would you consider making a video on his conception of the three Logos? I can't get my head around it!

You remind me of like a young Jordan Peterson, Michael - keep doing what your doing!
yes, he's the same kind of fraud -
No. He is the same kind of deep thinker.
@@brunischling9680 oh, you little 🤡
Great video, thank you
You’re doing good work.
Long is the hand of Dugin 🇷🇺🇲🇰
Came here due to Student for Western Civ., stayed for the Dugin🤘

Interesting how people set themselves up to be experts, like this Beiner guy, without even feeling the need to read what they are demonizing.
I believe, but don’t quote me on this, you can buy copies of Mein Kampf in Israel.

Toronto is wild
Everything was going great in the West and then this guy Dugin shows up...
Are you serious? First, were things really going great in the West? Second, Dugin is the one who made things change for them? Dugin's political theories rather than real social and economic conditions changed things for the West?
The west is destroying the west at this point...

Totalitarianism has its own logic. It prescribes the way universities function in the West today. And U of Toronto is in no way an exception.
