Excellent video and discussion. Thank you for sharing this.

Wondering what your reaction would be if you sat down for a sit, in a Zen center (suburb of Boston) and the first thing they did was to have everyone go around the room and tell the group, out loud, your preferred pronoun? To me this simply reinforces identity and supports the self illusion.

When will the book be available ?

We should consider this. The Oligarchy if the USA has to go

44:15 this highlights the trickledown effect of epistemic injustice. I was a physician who refused to not look outside of the box and felt proud whenever I was privileged to assess a patient for a particular concern, but looking at their chart and history see that there was a for different story that was underlying this individuals suffering in life, and that they are having secondary symptoms due to the cross reactive or Side effects from the polypharmacy (multiple medications) regimen that they were on because majority of clinicians function on a level that if they’re doing some kind of intervention, even if it doesn’t match up with the patient’s symptoms, nor the indication for the medication that they’re doing some thing and it’s helping when it’s like sing a plant that has yellow and some wilted leaves and before checking to see if the soil was dry, just adding more water into a pot that was already drowning and not seeing that the root system was rotted and that’s why the leaves are yellow and dehydrated. But unfortunately, there is A reluctance, if not subconscious blocking mechanism here in the United States, which preclude the dominant race from looking at how their privilege shows up and how it disadvantages others and completely unwarranted along with, and we’re sitting at skyrocket, anti-intellectualism. And sadly, when the dominant group sees that someone not of the group is inadvertently, and without the least bit of competitive elements behind it, “outshining the masters“ leading to deep jealousy and resentment leads to the most denigrating, exploitative, dehumanizing abuse followed by discarding and forgetting it’s a prime example of how oppression not only adversely affects those oppressed, but the oppressors themselves. In addition, here, in the states, the dominant group and I’ve seen this firsthand is able to function by being mediocre. If you’re not part of the dominant group And have a subordinate of the dominant race, who is not even functioning at the level of mediocre by which you try to professionally develop, then you’re infringing on the societal rules, and will be labeled as expecting a level which isn’t possible and since you’re not part of the dominant group, and if you conveyed that you’re just trying to professionally educate and protect patients by adhering to the standard of care, well, in epistemic injustice, your voice isn’t heard only the person of the dominant group. So, for example, if A subordinate claims that the physicians teaching is nothing more than a baseless complaint without clinical significance, and the people in power take that at face value and won’t even entertain Any other possibility, even scientific facts, the horror a physician Must carry because they don’t have racial privilege and inability to protect patients from harm which is backed by the organization. So many of the sentiments shared on here are the day to day obstacles bipoc people regardless of status/education etc. Have to navigate here in the USA and it’s exhausting.

Informative from beginning to end, and mercifully well-presented. A perfect example of "complex is as simple as it gets."

She wrote some fascinating things . . . and was a fanatic.

Long Live the Almighty Patriarchy, builder of civilizations.

Wonderful!

Personally, I find it fascinating how much other people tend to feel uncomfortable reading Weil. I honestly find her perspective refreshing, even hopeful at times, although certainly uncompromising in its aims. I will also add that I don't think she is as unrealistic as some consider her to be in her thought. She as much acknowledges the inherent difficulties with implementing the types of solutions she proposes in The Need for Roots. If I have one critique for this video, it is the characterization of Weil as being biased toward the ethics of responsibility as opposed to the ethics of conviction (as described by Weber). This seemingly lumps her in with the other french humanist philosophers of her time. Rather than being critical of convictions in general, she is opposed to the kinds of false convictions people can have. Her discussions of idolatry and "purifying one's notion of God" resonate strongly with this. I would strongly vouch for the interpretation that Weil acknowledges both of the ethics of responsibility and the ethics of conviction in her work, from a Christian viewpoint. I don't mean for what I put above to sound arrogant. I am honestly just someone who likes to read in their spare time. I enjoyed this discussion overall. Thanks!

Interesting conversation!

Try something simpler. Like: What is a sandwich!

Rambling incoherent opening!

3:00 on.... Dr Curry is the Goat

excellent conversation.. neither a writer or a philosopher I sense I've been on a similar journey. describing our current predicament as 'wonder usually ends in disappointment' .. what a perfect description .. best reason to explore mysticism. i'll be buying this book.

loving it!

How can I get in touch with Simon Critchley?

From 18:00 onward there's this nonsensical part werd they discuss randomly selecting experts. That seems against the core of lottocracy and overall a terrible idea. Experts are to be selected meritocratically, as per the standards set by the representatives of the people, for the purposes these representatives need their expertise. It sounds so out of place. Representatives are not experts, and lottocracy is not meant to select experts, but representatives of a community.

One of the best discussions and I regret having missed the live presentation because I presume the chat was equally interesting.

Seems to be not too smart - but I did not go through all the video. Two questions: 1. Did You think about the metaphysical reality in systems and how to handle/integrate it? If not, then there is quite a gap. 2. Do You know about the culture stages and the influences of these stages for people and systems? A smart place / smart system should know how to handle and develop the culture stages and have people fit for the minimum stage. I am not very hopeful after creating some models and methods. The fish does not see the water, people do not realize the madness of their system, which becomes their own madness. So first there should be a clear idea of a less mad utopia - but even if we would have this idea: Where are people for to live that?

It's called demonRat comicrat election theft. But not anymore!!!!

Tragic experiences, personal and collective, crack our ego and open us up to the presence of God, however one understands Him/Her/It. Thank you for this interesting conversation.

The interviewer speaks English with really really long sentences without pause.

Finally rescued after fifteen years on Gilligan's Island, the group of famous castaways struggled to readjust to life in modern civilization. There's an old adage, adopted from the title of a 1940 Thomas Wolfe novel, that states, “You can never go home again.” The saying is meant to infer how nostalgia causes us to view the past in an overly positive light, and how humans tend to remember people and places from our upbringing in static terms. Things change and so do we. We can never go back to the way things were. You can't go home again, because it never will be the same. We’ll all just have to carry Home, The Actuality, around with us, until our own blood stops pumping. And then Home, The Actuality, will have some new and just as unrecoverable shape: whatever Home is, it’s not something “out there” to return to. It’s something inside, to which we can all return (or not) as we want, as often as we want. Only memory and love are immortal for those who live, carried within the heart and mind, be worthy of love and remembrance and you will never truly die.

Sir do you find any proximity between the philosophical positions of Hegel and Spinoza with respect to the concept of the absolute and the role of art in its representation. If yes then please guide me to some literature further explaining the connection. I am a research student exploring Hegel's aesthetics from a Buddhist perspective.

Brilliant! Thank you

He is a Genius and a brilliant doctor.

Free Palestine!!

Very interesting. Thanks.

"full blooded card carrying misanthrope"

1. Philosophy is very interesting if understood well 2. Perfection is relative, according to metaphisics 3. Metaphisics and empiricism go very well together

Thank God for this video. I've been trying for months to find someone who is thinking about this kind of question.

Thank you so much for this important lecture. As a former asylum seeker myself and a person who worked with queer refugees and currently studying this topic, I know that arrival is a highly challenging process for forced immigrants. It changed their psyche, body, and identity. Often, they don’t have a little support or anything. And they face hate from locals.

It is a fascinating topic, and it reminds me of the Enactive approach toward cognition as a part of the embodied connection between different live organisms and surrounding environment 💜

The crisis has to do with our society being wrecked by islamic usurpers in the guise of needy refugees. It's in the koran. Do you not get it ?

Can an AI have a gender? If an AI said it has a gender. Philosophers will create justification to affirm its gender. Edit: The only disagreement will be is the AI oppressed by the patriarchy or part of the patriarchy.

Just another misandrist wanting to shame men to make her feel superior.

Capitalists want to profit; Scientists want to quantify existence as a means of ego. Globalists leverage both as a means of control with the goal to eliminate human existence and replace it with The Singularity, turning humans into cyborgs (as part of the depopulation agenda started via the bioweapon). Being “human” is energy choosing to inhabit a human body for an experience in this dimension which is consciousness tied to spirit. As more technology is fed into existence, human vulnerability is seduced into dependence on, and subsequently conversion to the alternate, sold as better, state of being. Being vulnerable as a human is living, which Turkle embraces. All other forms of human existence as sold by the demonic Transhumanists is death and not “maximizing human potential.”

I’m excited about her forthcoming book. Still think she could have given Bruno Latour a bit more credit Here is some more details for those interested in her coming publication: N. Katherine Hayles University of Chicago Press, 2025 - Philosophy - 304 pages "Humans are driving the planet toward catastrophe, and yet humans are the only species capable of taking positive actions on a global scale to prevent collapse. For N. Katherine Hayles, human hubris and the anthropocentrism that underlies it is one of the main drivers of our current planetary crises. So, if we are to take action to save the planet, we urgently need to re-think basic assumptions about agency, decision-making, control, and our relations to nonhuman and artificial cognizers. In Bacteria to AI, Hayles develops an integrated cognitive framework (ICF) that includes humans, nonhuman lifeforms, and some computational media, including artificial intelligence. Bacteria to AI analyzes how the first-order emergences of physical phenomena, multicellularity, and technics are now interacting together to create second-order emergences that greatly accelerate technical developments. The book explores these entanglements through case studies ranging from gene editing to autopoiesis and Gaia theory, bacteria and xenobots to artificial intelligence. Spanning evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, and contemporary literature, Bacteria to AI recognizes the risks of contemporary technologies but insists a positive way forward, with ICF at its core, is possible for us and for the more than human world"-

Kudos to threading the needle of a much maligned term in this world. I applaud your efforts to redefine this psychological state and find a silver lining in envy. Personally speaking, I don't feel much envy in my own life, but I have seen it destroy others around me. Nice to look on it in a positive way. I look forward to reading your book.

Good lecture. Pasquinellis is saying academically some very scary things: the freezing of collective knowledge, the freezing of cultural adaptations and pepetuation of monopoly capital power via AI.

The two influential papers are Elijah Millgram’s “The Great Endarkenment,” which discusses the problem of hyperspecialization and the difficulty of mastering arguments that span multiple fields, and Annette Baier’s “Trust and Antitrust,” which explores the concept of trust as making oneself vulnerable by placing something in another’s power, particularly their goodwill. These papers reshaped the speaker’s understanding of the challenges in epistemology and the role of trust.

Excellent 👌👌

I love it! The concept, the imagery, the text, the way you read aloud. 👏

Great discussion. We don't talk about how dog whistles, figleaves, and obvious falsehoods are a huge component in right wing ideology around racism and xenophobia.

Brilliant discussion, we are so quick to flatten and commodify the human experience despite the ability to connect at a level, globally, that we have never come close to... yet we turn to machines as companions and fly migrants to Rwanda 🤡

Very interesting overview and, for me, introduction to this important thinker. Great interview & subscribed.

Which greatly increases my joy.
