He has problem with radios? Language is always ambiguous. philosophy spends too mu h time with bickering over linguistic ambiguities as if there is something profound about it. Science adopts language/concepts adequate to make predictions.

Metaphysical statements are outside of observation.

"Joints"? Prediction is the issue.

What an interesting video. Maybe it’s because I’m a bit stoned at noon on a Sunday but jeez by the time the chapter “rooted” came around I was really struggling to differentiate fascism from socialism. It’s like the only real difference is the rhetoric. A fascist will take power through the right wing in a liberal democracy, abandon their principals to maintain power and use the unified people as a blunt tool to shape the future they believe in. And socialists; A socialist will take power through the left wing in a liberal democracy, abandon their principals to maintain power and use the unified people as a blunt tool to shape the future they believe in. Like maybe it’s the weed but I’m kinda mind F’d right now trying to differentiate the ends. The only thing I can think is in play socialist (and communists I don’t think they can truly be separated but that’s another essay) come to power from imperial non democratic nations. For example China and Russia. As the fascist in Germany did come technically from a democracy but was it really? It’s almost like the fascists shrugged away the democracy. Idk

Please stop saying “klu”’ in KKK. It’s Ku.

I appreciate your summary, I tried to listen to a few others before, and I could not make it through even a few minutes. Yours was clear and extremely informative. Thank you

John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” King James Version (KJV)

fascism is when state

Anyone examining these five steps and then looking at the modern Maga GOP platform in the US, it’s nearly identical. Every characteristic down the list is checked with the nonstop violent and nativist rhetoric coming out of Trump Republicans daily. This should be an alarming wake up call, but sadly many people aren’t intelligent enough to want to know this important information and how it correlates to modern US politics.

Man is the only animal so selfish as to invent the dream of "life after death". Consciousness coincides with the brain, and at the moment of death, it ceases to exist with us. No animal (including us) could never come back to life..And religion, any religion, weakens us because it delegates our potential to thousands of different gods who have never shown themselves only once. I feel so sorry for you, unaware people who invent gods and statues for yourselves. Those who don't know how to go even a little further than their nose, making things up that are convenient for them and which go against common sense, are capable of the most monstrous things possible, in any field. Before you were born you were dead, the exact same and precise thing happens when you die, and it will be forever

Maybe I am. It icking here, but Stage 3; first bullet point: “fascism has never come to power by coup”. Spain’s dictator Franco, who by nearly all definition was a fascist dictator did come to power leading a military coup against the Republic that resulted in the Spainish Civil War. But I get the point of Patton’s intent.

Why does fascism have to be born from the failure of liberal democracy and not just the perceived failure of the previous order?

I just started another video that talked about fascism originating During the protestant reformation. Is north like a proto fascism more Is fastest then just tyranny or authoritarianism The politics of us and then that then change during the age of colonization

It's not that these theistic arguments aren't convincing, it's that they seem ridiculous and almost completely detached from the scientific method. For example, on theism god can literally do anything including suspending or breaking any scientific law. So even if the many constants cited by fine tuning were different there is no reason to believe god couldn't just do magic and make life identical to what we see in this universe, regardless of constants. So the on theism, the probability of life is 1 on an infinite number of universes with wildly different constants than our Universe. This predicts absolutely nothing. Or that something has a beginning implies…a creator? A virtual particle pair has a beginning so it has a creator? Then comes the near complete lack evidence in the form of prediction. Jesus in alien civilizations? That's a practically untestable hypothesis to avoid the conclusion atheism is true. And Luke Barnes? If I recall he all but concedes he presupposes god as a means to avoid going to hell and using ex post facto reasoning to maintain his otherwise nonsensical belief. I appreciate the good natured chat but I personally view theism as a cancer on modernity.

"Arbitrary goal posts..." Fam... Life is Life... to claim decernability between types of life is the pinnacle of arbitrarity...

Bruv, you are dumb. Science is always behind on Truth Revelation. You don't know pain, but may soon. #SophistIsACopout

Very informative content and well delivered.

12:24 I disagree since science holds precedence over philosophy and I believe thats the point Hawking was making.

Aren't the mechanisms by which fascism takes over the same as those used by other subversive political groups? The Bolsheviks, Soviets and Communist Parties have used the same tactics.

23:30 that even sounds lame, as witness pinochet...

Question - are you or would you recommend particular researchers (philosophers, sociologists or others) dealing specifically with the interactions between money and the scientific process? I can think mainly of work on science and values here, but if you have other suggestions of interesting literature to look at that'd be great. Been considering doing some work on this after my PhD if possible. Thanks, and thanks again for the lecture series!

The chubby viral pro life lady argues that they can feel enormous pain at just 12.5 weeks.

Fascism is a collectivist ideology. They marched under red banners. Nationalists? The communists added "Mother Russia".

Facism in italy came to power before they wrote about it the doctrine of fascim is written in 1927, five years after the march of rome. There is no reason as well to think fascist are only lying, Gentile was a hegelan professor, im sure he belived in the ideas he was formulating. Both were socalists prior to creating fascim, its not just the failures of liberal democray that it fights but the filures of socialism, by being a reformed version of it.

Now at the end of a PhD dealing a lot with the philosophy of biology and linguistics, I've started the series a month ago or so and been watching all videos (a long time after their release, granted). I've generally found them very good, but this video was the first one where I feel you failed to be properly respectful and at least try to present a balanced perspective, or at least some possible charitable readings - more so for postmodernism, but also for radical feminist epistemology. I get that the science wars are a very controversial topic and it's hard not to take sides, but I feel trying to be as nuanced as you were when presenting Feyerabend would be much more interesting and informative here.

I feel like this is conceptually bigoted. We see power for powers sake more than ever today, and the regime isn't "fascist". To say there is no ideology moving fascism and nothing to study also betrays a conceptually limited horizon you hold. The idea of living "historically" is at the crux. The concept is that once you remove people from "time" with no connection to past or ethnos you have no reason to exist other to seek out comfort wnd pleasurable sensation because once these people cease to exist there is really no impact their existance has rendered in any concievable way. Their life day to day is like someone of that in a nursing home, or a minumum security prison. Performing meaningless work to pass the time , sub par food prepared for them, living vicariously through television or pornography. Making easy slaves of people because nothing is gripping them out of anything that they hold as more valuable then their own life because nothing exists to them but their own life. The idea is that this is a perennial feature in history. Men having always conceiving of themselves as being a part of a chain of existance and in time, whether native aborginie or the kingdom of prussia. This is more a fair take on what politically lies behind the action you see entailed in 21st Century and maybe beyond.

The worst book ever in the history of man. This man fucked up discourse so horribly.

Thank for the video! Helped me a lot in my studies.

If thats the case, then the proponents of Neo-Darwinian mechanism are the biggest dogmatists to ever exist because look at their attitude they don't want their theory to be challenged.

your rationalizations for what is or isn't fascism,aside from the anachronistic angle, seem post facto. there have always been popular movements of what we'd anachronistically call the right and the left, take the grachii, as opposed to, broadly, caesar or sulla

while it is anachronistic to call plato fascist, the shoe fits

Great lecture series! Really made the important points clear and easy to understand

You proved him right by your side opinions filtering through on vaccine deniers. Dangerous to observe deleterious effects of mRNA experiments? WTF.

Very engaging talk, you rock dude!

Of the two options offered in your closing statement; 1.There is no Human Freedom OR 2.There is no God, only one option has been proven in this video, namely that there can be no human freedom if God is all knowing. Would you be willing to do a follow-up video proving that Human Freedom is true and not just an intuitive false assumption? 😎

Thanks, professor. Im studying this field, and I found your explanations straightforward and uncomplicated. Thanks for sharing this content. 🙌😁

هذا موضوع رسالتى للماجستير عن " النظرية الاستقرائية عند نلسون جودمان"

You argue from an athiest point of view by reducing God’s influence over your life (and the world) to a simple question of intellectual beliefs. As if God himself isn’t deeply involved in his creation. Suppose that God does exist. Just because you stop believeing in the existence of Him, doesn’t necessarily have to take away all of His influence over your life. If human kind is created as an image of God, and God is love, then who is to say that love wouldn’t still live in your heart even though you stop believing in Him on an intellectual level. What I’m saying is that, He may still live in your heart as love lives on in your heart. A change of your interpretation of reality doesn’t necessarily change the reality. That is a possible explanation to why x-theists values doesn’t change. It does, however, make a difference whether you follow Him or not. There is a difference between belief and faith. Faith is more profound. My point of view leads me to the idea that, only when you stop following the way of love, is when you truly reject God as your Lord. That is what matters. So I argue that, even though you may think that the existence of God doesn’t make a difference in your life, he may still have an impact. Because the creation doesn’t have to be compleatly cut off from the creator in ways that matter. So what I’m saying is that, you’re right, whether you believe or don’t believe in God’s existence may not make a huge difference (although it might). But whether God does or does not exists makes a difference. And, whether you keep living as the image of Him in your heart or not - that matters.

My belief is that God knows certain important things about the future because He will make them be so. But He doesn’t know every individual path every human will take. He knows the destination of human kind, because He is deeply involved in the fate of humanity. And the things that He promise, are things that He will make sure happens. That is my take on the meaning of divine knowledge.

I like to challenge age old thinking instead of accomodating ideas. Now for ur-facism it is purely theoretical concept, now we know that imbalanced hormonal levels (serotonin, cortisol, dopamine, ..) cause people to seek safety and turn to tribalism - just a chemical characteristic of a human brain. Same for recovering non-existed greatensss - the process of recovery implies getting back something familiar, as brain feels safer with known concepts it's a rational thing to do, rather than pursuing some new levels of magnificence that would be a big unknown.

Nice account of the essential Diogenes who Alexander may have admired because Diogenes clearly showed he had no fear of Alexander.

I think, în 24', woke-ism is a safe stage 4.

Do you have an academic citation for the concept for the term that you used in the video: "biographically alive"? For personhood. When you said earlier a person is not someone who is biologically alive but also "biographically alive."

The Thucydides Trap (as described by Graham T. Allison) only looks at very few examples from history, and only European and global history after European dominance.

Fascism never died. The US and its puppets kept it alive in Italy and other countries. Look up operation Gladio and the Italian social movement.
