Nice explanation sir.. Can you suggest other books to understand rationality and rational thinking

the point of the panopticon isn't that you're being surveilled. the power of the Panopticon is how the knowledge of the surveillance, real or not, makes you change and restrain your own behaviour. its a power that seeks to dominate. Psychopolitics in contrast is a power that seeks to make you dependent. it rewards and addicts. it neglects and shuns who dissent.

Thanks for the video! Lots of new information, Freud has a personal way how he describes childhood trauma affects on personality, they do make sense. I wonder does he really think that all sadness or melanholy is pathology though. It is a strange view point🤔

I was struggling to find a short story for my English class! Loved this narrator can't wait to watch more.

Great conversation. I envy Voparil and Gozli's calm and sensitive temperament. Thank you both.

Another underrated youtube channel ❤. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this review; I completely agree with you. One of my friends recommended this book to me, and it turned out to be the worst read. I left it halfway through. Writing this book from within an ivory tower is the perfect explanation.

Hiz thanks for the review. Just one question - whats the meaning of the title ? How does it actually relate ?

Edmund White is morally empty

Thank you!!

You mentioned something about further videos you could do. Nice idea, if you just have time please make another video about this theme 👍🏼

Thanks for the video, very interesting. Even though i certainly cannot understand all of it. That game is familiar and i also played it when i was a child.

Busy and noisy cats. We live them.

Here we find in Freud's speculation openning for Lacans and Zizeks theory which also opened a new way to see Hegel. ❤

whilst hanging with my animals this morning... it was just post dawn, so hay-time... i surveyed the beauty,,, the shit and the blood. the rot about and the captured spring in the hay... the gander toying with the goat kids.... yesterday i'd cleaned up the body of the headless chicken evidently found fox had the morning before that, dead in the stream, between frosty banks, a vivid splash of red,,, in the stream. the frost looked pretty but because of my goats were slower than normal unable to browse the crystal coated foliage. I think they thought it a very ugly morning. Although it took me two days the chicken is now portioned and braising for dinner tonight. I spend Christmas at my mothers in the housing estate i grew up in near my brother and sisters place. My brother has sold his double glazing business for 4 million. He's bought the biggest house in Penshaw... but its a scrubbers town... the one i'm from. He's built a private bar and restaurant in the garden. On Christmas morning his wife's sister's leather pants and push up bra pushed and pushed to project out through the sequin mail shirt as on a fantasy quest. And yet in that company i'm the fantasist,,, who considered bringing his own goose to the dinner... my brother got a chef in. I gave him and his family a hand painted Kubb set... Elvis as the King and Freddy Mercury as queen... but he, hedonist forbid me playing with my nephews on the lawn cos it was wet... instead we drank blue vodka drinks from bottles taken from the strange 'grey goose' vodka display wall and kareokeed the afternoon away in our cracker gained party hats. ... after hay-time i typed the 'fetish of aesthetics' into google,, the first three mentions were for a paper written by Pof. H. H-O. and then i found this.... Thankyou! I'll also explore more of your vids.... the contexts of beauty... i get so tired of right meaning conservative aesthetic visions. i mean i can put them eyes on... but i can also take them off. And yet the stretch nastie of punk beauty is even more... less... how do we feel it? ... I mean how through? Xx.

just HOW do you not have more views, super underrated

I baffled to know that Derek Heartfield was a fictional character. For a second when I read this book, I thought he was an actual living person, and Murakami just lile to explore their ideas in his novella. But nevertheless that's quite shocking and I need to reread that last few pages.

Can you please explain your last point in the video: "These two different points in the network sometimes desire to be connected" ?

Thanks, Davood, for having me on for this great conversation!

These videos are so underrated

so meditating to listen to your reviews

All boils down to the same old corporate bollocks and even trying to disagree on AI (not to mention AGI) is becoming imposable and a futile effort. Thanks for your insight and time, its very much appreciated. I am unplugging soon as the internet has become a ghost to me, from win98 to win 10 it has been a good run and I actually still miss the nerdy forums, the old school discussions that made us all smarter. Amazing how end stage capitalism is comparative to stage 4 cancer, throw in the increasing levels of cognitive bias and you can call me the pessimist, pessimism is the new realism and that statement in its self is insane. Peace & contentment to you and yours. 🐑

I always thought the Twins represented the two flippers on a pinball machine and he was the ball. That's why he mentions there being an entrance and an exit. Lot of pinball metaphores if you look for them.

Thank you, it was a pleasure to listen to you!

Criminally underrated video

Speaking of lingering, how do you manage to read so many books so quickly?

Amazing video! I just read the book and this video helped me a lot to reflect on the story

Great review Davood. 7:00 - These figures/writers are like new, "Potential friends..." How refreshing to highlight this aspect of our relationships to Han, Knepper, Gozli, etc. Maybe the book on Han could be discussed in the reading group? See you soon on zoom. Patrick

Your presentation of this is thoughtful and articulate. Many thanks!

4:59 so helpful language, Davood. thanks. "Every discipline has its own set of network concepts and words that guide it and frame its projects. "❤ It also helps to see how Han can Shed new light on their projects and move the Horizon to other networks and projects, bringing them together.

I love his acknowledgement of Marx's critique of philosophy. I think Marx's critique is powerful and at the same time misses something. Thank you for this review.

I am one of those "socialist" that is involved with orgs that are for anti war, housing, and equity. As some who reads on "Revolutionary" history to me it looks like our efforts have limited and at a larger scale no effect at all on stopping wars or inequality. Only reason I continue because there few people I know would benefit from our work. I am always almost hoping the possibility that somehow through many people's efforts things will get better in some ways.

This book kinda reminds me of One piece with respect to buildup of the historical setting. So, long but I want read this book now because of your review!😅I am 21 so I still got time (hopefully).

Johnathan Haidt, the Zionist sympathizer, who cozies up to billionaires who tried to crush anti-genocide protests on campus.

I love your opinion, and i’m deciding which book from Han to get…thanks

I don't agree with his argument at all. Reading the book is like he is trying to spread the cause of some disasters in human beings' history only by "storytelling". However, there were Hitler and Stalin, in the meantime, there were Churchill and Roosevelt who believed in different things, which is the truth. The cause, on the contrary, was the absence of truth in these countries at that time. So, it is not a flawed information system. It is in these countries that the information system was replaced by a whole propaganda agent controlled by the dictator.

Intersubjective domain and computer intersubective realities. These are new ideas and that we, the human must use experience and verify , verify everything. define information is connecting different pints of view.. it misses these two points to be connected nodes in a network . I loved the book its all about the story. that is what we humans know. Experience, reality , verify verify verify.. 😂😂😂😂

Will you ever consider joining substack?

Brilliant briefing on the book. I am currently reading it and can see a lot of traits in my eldest daughter that this book describes when raised by peers. My youngest is home educated and she is still herself and hasn't been mind altered. Its fascinating to see the difference. My eldest is 11 and wants to be home educated when she finishes this school year (yr 6 in England) I am looking forward to witnessing my daughter return to her heart again ♥️.

The conversation about the approval of others was relevant and interesting. However, most subjects of the book are really irrelevant to the purpose of the book. The philosopher was just as immature as the student. The student misinterpreted the philospher and couldn't take things with a grain of salt.He took things way too literally and talked way too much about his classroom. The dialogues become very repetitive. They repeat the same things over and over again. The student is like a parrot. The philosopher judges and accuses the teacher without knowing him. What's annoying about the philosopher is that he makes a lot of assumptions about the student and is quite rude.

Those Marcel Proust books in the back caught my eyes. What an amazing book

Great Job Davood on this review. Like any other technology, there’s utility and there’s hype. Where that line is crossed requires an informed consumer to separate the wheat from the chaff of hype and marketing. There’s opportunity now for a watchdog NGO to monitor the quality and reviews of these entities; or better yet, an open-source review platform to avoid collusion with the industry! Cheers!

Thank you for this

Excellent review, thank you. The background music underpinning your criticism of the book I found distracting and unnecessary, as though you might be somewhat hesitant to air your views. What you have to say is very much worth listening to on its own.

From 38:20 it gets gold. Thnks 40:22: that curiosity probably came with the fruit. Or an evolutionary step of our brains.

Thanks for your excellent explanation and unpacking of this seminal book. I will definitely purchase it now. Thank you!!! 🙏🏾
