I like your channel, it is necessary to return to Freud in this day and age. I just came across your channel, wish you good luck!

Cadell, Senpai, Teacher, I'm struggling to put Lacan's structure together and wondering if you could shed some light... Castration is used to escape the Oedipal situation in which the mother desires the child to be the phallus. In the renunciation, castration, the symbol of the Phallus is made. How is it that this releases liberates the real phallic satisfaction?? Your sincere student.

Thank you for the free therapy session Cadell!

This was really wonderful, and I appreciated the chance to hear the story of Samuel Barnes. The discussion also touched on many of the key problems and tensions of our moment which keep me up at night. Again, I really enjoyed this and think The Singularity series is a gift.

Thank you for this

At what point does talking about something without using a metaphor become a perversion, I wonder?

How does sex get labelled as "not a significant event itself but it touches all these things" Is there a joke or absurdity I'm missing there, is this meant socially? Sex is not a significant event yet our biology exhibits pleasurable senses focused in the nipples and the private areas, and men are consumed by pornographic images today more than in human history. If sex was not a significant event, why does it involve oxytocin that masturbation does not? I appreciate the modesty in expressing the ideas. It sounds like a summary would be sex is not significant but all the events and dynamics that surround it are. But, I would posit that because all these things surround sex, makes it significant! If sex is a conjunction of multi-faceted aspects of existence, it's the continuation of the human race, etc. Why do we try to obscure sex for what it is by saying it is not significant? If thoughts are materialistic, it really seems like the idea of sex is being made insignificant or suboordinate to our desires. Is our objectification of sex the designification of it? Is that what she's saying? How can one speak for another person's depth in sexuality? And how do we know that we're not just simply seeking to confirm what has been said by Lacan and read our experiences through that lens, versus it actually being the reality of what happens in sexual dynamics or how that amplifies or diminishes its significance? And likely what we're talking about is a fleeting moment or a phase that is within a larger cycle of thoughts, feelings and emotions. It's not something that's dictating the entire experience, or maybe it can depending on where the individual's emotional maturity, experience, ethical code, beliefs stand, surrounding sex in general or maybe simply how their relationship with the other person is. Sex with one person can vastly vary between another person. And how do we compare someone who has lots of sex or little sex, strong beliefs behind sex versus little beliefs about sex or inhibitions? We should be covering these questions a lot more clearer when trying to discuss these high level philosophical concepts, it would make it a lot more tangible in my opinion. But again, I'm not a philosopher so maybe I'm missing something that you both understand mutually, allowing for the conversation at a level I'm not able to comprehend. Thanks for the discussion regardless! It starts a thought process for me for sure.

1.25 speed. (Best on first Language speakers)

Just received Proclus commentary on Parmenides. Great that somebody is going into it.

I have some thinking about “ there’s no such meta language “ I have some ideas that the symbols of words and letters hides inner meanings in its historical construction. They’re not arbitrary but risen out of inner workings of our brains( perception- representation -impressions) and can be studied scientifically. I don’t mean it from numerology or esoteric knowledge but priori brain mechanisms

Excellent, and I really appreciated this chance to learn more about Arran’s work. I think a focus on “the biocultural” and our current tension between choosing between “biological reproduction” or “cultural creation” is spot on, and I completely agree that humanity basically hasn’t had to think this problem at all. The two are ripping apart, and we desperately need to think this rip today. Great work to you both!

Amazing. Thinking back to moments of great trauma in my life, THIS is the only person I would've wanted with me at that moment rather than being alone as we are ultimately are.

This is a very clear explanation of Hegels nonsense. A Critical Rationalist opinion

ab8:20 symbolic is the transformation of the imaginary!!!

The primary questions to be asked : Where is Judith Butler and where lies Lands surplus enjoyment in the zizekian sense by presenting his fatalistic, as I sees it, views ?

I like Land's dark prognosis and the hypothetical base it sprouts from. This "future sent" stuff is way to new age for me. But if we look at the inevitability, things and events take their course, he is not too far off the point he's trying to present to us. _Brain too big. Experiment with variant not successful_ . Nature just tries and "offers" a lot of space and if u will time, to prove the survival capacities of a variant. Remember insects, dinosaurs and amphibians.

Cadell is the Absolute Icon of teaching. Clarity excellence.

It appears to me that the analyst needs to be a pervert, and thus unanalyzable?

skrt

The commercial the Super Bowel always needed but was unworthy of hosting.

🤣

Here, Hegel is absolutely right.

Everyone should understand this,but the negativ Dialektik is very against Love.

Excellent Cadell, and the description of "evil consciousness" was fascinating, and I agree with the summary ending on the primacy of the ethical, which we certainly need to think today. Looking forward to the class!

Is this course presupposing that one should already have derived, through his speculative method, concepts like the State? Will it be hard to follow along, if everything is just in Understanding?

Soon to be "Father" status... Congratulations! 🎉 Forget everything you thought you knew.

22:30 this parallels my ex-wife and i when we divorced. i couldnt get any affirmed belief on anything out of her. the bigger irony is she is baptised catholic. for many (like her), religion is just another cultural perspective with material outcomes, and not any metaphysical truth.

Just curious, I've read Marx pretty thoroughly, as well as Hegel. Currently reading 'Beyond Capital' by Meszaros. I continue to struggle with the whole notion of "the inevitable death of Capitalism" or, whether some "new stage of resolution" or "reset" will manifest itself. Are there any interesting books and/or articles and interviews you can provide other than Anna's? Thx!

29:20 What do you mean by two different types of sensitivities ?

Did you send him your stuff?

so is this new AI coming up - will it be an 'other' new species of intelligent life that will make use think radically

49:20 Slavoj getting kinky there hahahaha nah jk, love to see them really blow up on ideas using the DIALECTIC :)))))

wow the shock of a real otherness - if we see aliens *mind blown*

i wonder how does desire fit into the scheme? in relation to enjoyment and obstacle, etc.

Quantum gravity needs to rediscover a new theory of time. The future has a psychological reality, parallel to gravity, such that the future has a pull, which is not simply the vectors from the past, from the outside, but central to 'spiritual' reality.

Interviewer you earned my respect, I salute your journey.

Really interesting guest .. thoughts and communication . Thank u

The free epub version with the paperback works perfectly with Google Book's read aloud function. I'll probably have listened to the entire book before I receive the hardcopy. The theory goes very deep in this book. It will resonate deeply with philosophy portal viewers. Highly recommended.

🔥🔥🔥🚒

I've watched a lot of the interviews Anna has done regarding this book and it's amazing that she always find new ways to talk about it. Excellent watch.

Financial profit is only derived from the deliberate and forceful creation of a large working class. Feudalism is to blame for that, then the capitalist took advantage of that ready made class system, without that class system capitalism could not exist. The hierarchies of feudalism and capitalism are pyramid shaped, while every natural hierarchy of competence is a bell curve (IQ bell curve) with few at the top and bottom and the majority in the middle. pyramid hierarchies are artificial and integral to capitalism/profit, there has to be a very large base of low paid workers in a capitalist hierarchy in order for profit to be generated. Financial profit is not possible in a natural (bell curve) hierarchy because there aren't enough people at the bottom to skim labor value from. capitalism is not contrary to feudalism, capitalism is the lying rat that feudalism gave birth to.

Great Portal Event. Bought Anna Kornbluh's Book, Immediacy, immediately after the event from the Publisher, Verso. The experience as a symptom of late capitalism is a great frame.

Love u anna order of forms one of my favorite theory books

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4O1dmiKetOZqaM Philosophy is corrupt imo. Its backwards. And god is related to a lot of it, most of metaphysics is shit, and Semiotics is underrated, epistemology has some assumptions that are invalid. 'Crude atheism'. No, crude weakness for faith, is what causes corruption. Weakness, what Nietzsche said. Faith studies show triggers in our brain like drugs or sex. Thats what makes people weak. Have intrinsic reward from correct consequences to actions.

Freud is fraud kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKvSZ6iwnct0fck

exciting!

36:00 Its lowkey just xenophobia and what circulates fascism, so its admirable to reduce that, imo. Because, its, objectively speaking, a self-destructive anti-peaceful type of culture dynamic, like what comes forth from its emergence, is in that manner. And in that sense it could be quite important to solve. 39:12 Quantum gravity. Is it actually wise, to answer it? Like, what if a quantum gravity bomb gets invented? Is that a good thing? Or, what if the ai and control systems, want to manage humans even more totalitarian? Like, instead of them being stuck on this problem, they'll map it out then humans would be screwed. Right? But maybe, ai, has already figured it out? I wonder, do I want to be immortalized if I could infer quantum gravity? Its not essential. The pursuit for pseudo-immortality through others, is still not infinite. And if there is a great filter, then revealing it will certainly end it faster. And thats fine, because, we don't need to know quantum gravity, to solve these social problems. How much of the world do great thinkers change in their lifetime anyways?

Amazing how these 2 can turn the unbounded potential of this topic into such dry scatterbrained superficial discussion of isms. Peter is just nervous energy.
