It’s important to distinguish between analysis and interpretation. Analysis focuses on objective facts, such as themes, patterns, and verifiable data that remain consistent regardless of who is analysing. Interpretation, however, is subjective and relies on personal insights, impressions, and opinions, which may or may not resonate with others. Pageau is offering an interpretation, not an analysis, of the Malleus Maleficarum, and this interpretation isn’t a reliable gauge of reality.

Respecting a diversity of beliefs can allow for constructive discussions, without veering into implications that could be interpreted as hostile.

In this way, tolerance reflects resilience and self-control. Tolerance is also central to the teachings of Jesus, who exemplified forgiveness and compassion: 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do', for example. Like Jesus, who preached forgiveness, tolerance requires wisdom, patience, and strength, and it can help us become better people by fostering empathy and understanding.

Most of those couples want children eventually, they just want to be able to prevent it from happening too early in life. And trust me I know a lot of couples that didn't do an abortion and where the children are definitely now suffering from it because they are horrible at parenting because they're way too young, or the relationship wasn't serious and now the 22 year old mother is alone with the child, some even already have multiple children at 24 and aren't even financially able or mentally mature enough to properly support just one.

We can understand 'based' as an identity signifier, which helps us to unpack the mindset of its users. The word ‘based’ is emerging with a rise in internet content masquerading as truth and knowledge, often undermining academic and mainstream liberal values, to signify a proud defiance of these values, especially within conservative and right-leaning spaces. Originally used to mean being authentic or unapologetically oneself, ‘based’ has become a shorthand for rejecting 'political correctness' and embracing traditionalist, often controversial, views that push free speech across the threshold of tolerance and reason. Among young to middle-aged men, particularly white American males with conservative leanings, ‘based’ serves as an identity marker. ‘Based’ is frequently used in comment sections of videos or posts that resonate with this demographic’s frustrations or ideals. Often, we see it appearing alone or in brief affirmations with fewer words, emphasising its role as a kind of badge or code, but also suggesting the difficulty of this user to articulate more complex ideas related to their ideals and frustrations. It signals agreement with the content but also identifies the user as part of a group that shares similar, often anti-liberal, views. When viewed through the "symbolic lens", ‘based’ as shorthand, reflects a deep, existential struggle with identity, agency, and purpose, as users find meaning in content that appears to validate their personal grievances and ideological stances. Users of the word ‘based’ may share a sensitivity to perceived challenges to their masculinity and self-worth, especially from women and LGBTQ+ individuals, onto whom they can externalise their frustrations and project blame, avoiding deep introspection or emotional healing which is seen as weakness, and antithetical in the context of the Christian religious dogma, to which they often subscribe. They often struggle to articulate or even consciously acknowledge their frustrations and problems. Engaging with these individuals online requires a careful strategy of communication to ensure their needs are met for exploring and venting their frustrations without feeling shamed in their search for meaning and personal agency, and to protect the targets of their frustrations from harm and acts violence, which may erupt from this volatile space.

If i might respectfully offer some counterpoints to this video: This is a very interesting subject matter. I do agree that there has been an undeniable decline in the strength and primacy of the family unit throughout modernity. However, i do not agree with some of the more extreme conclusions drawn here. Overall the document discussed in this video is quite interesting, and i thank the creator of this video for making me aware of its existence. I have not seen any other content by this creator, and i hope i am not misunderstanding any context or intention here. Here are the questions that spring to mind in relation to these ideas 1) the concept of “secondary causes” as a way of supporting one’s argument seems to get into some murky and conveniently malleable territory as far as evidence goes. Really this issue has a root in the dichotomy between Inductive and Deductive reasoning; i would argue that this document is addressing early modern problems with a medieval style of argumentation of deductive reasoning, where as the scientific revolution which would soon follow this period began using Inductive reasoning primarily. I fully recognize that the nature of some elements of our world, especially complex systems of culture or the very real hyperspace of consciousness and ideas are intangible and resistant to investigation by induction, but nonetheless i find some conclusions drawn by this document to be a bit of a stretch even if in some sense the goal might have been to express a symbolic archetypal representation of a phenomenon. 2) the contemporary example of pornography acting as a perverse “demonic” influence on the individual and society by using disembodied images and ideas of sexual partners is a profound and disturbing reality which i can certainly agree with 3)the concept of witchcraft is something which shows up in many times and places around the world. For example, even today in some parts of Africa , CHILDREN can be shunned from communities and face neglect and starvation because they have been designated by their community as being a “witch” of some sort. I recall reading an article of a woman who runs a philanthropic organization which seeks out and cares for such children. The point is; this concept of fear of witches is much older and more universal than the western tradition, and I wonder what that means, because it clearly isnt something isolated to gender or age. There is something about the fear of the infinite possibilities of the unknown and unknowable (unprovable!) which is perhaps psychologically tied to it’s polar opposite; the perpetuation of life, humanity, and the sacred primacy of birth, which then leads to this projection of an archetypal fear of a distortion of that process, which takes the form of witches and witchcraft in many folk traditions. Now, to me, these are humanized REPRESENTATIONS of abstract notions, but what often happens is the that we forget the original premise of abstraction and start to believe in the physical reality of such things when we observe the phenomena in the world which the archetypal representations describe (inductive reasoning) 4)all this fear mongering about some abstract “demonic evil” embodied by witches seems to be to be an attempt to use the language of the time to discuss a real breakdown in societal order which has more economic and anthropological root causes. The transition into modernity and commercial capitalism was quite disruptive and certainly frayed much of European society at that time. We might also recall that throughout much of history women were treated like absolute trash with little to no voice or rights, so even if there was some sort of trend of women engaging in a death cult like ideology, perhaps we can view that as a very logical outcome of the system; a reactionary, shadow like antithesis attempting to match the evil oppression of one system with a rebellious opposite of equal or greater evil. Some ideas are so wrong, that even their opposite is still wrong I am married to none of these ideas, i wish to engage in a dialectic above all. I hope anyone finds this a relevant contribution to the discussion, good luck to all in all endeavors and thanks for reading.
@lp45142 ай бұрын
I agree with your first point, it seems like he was interpreting it very loosely in ways to find examples in our modern society that he is against to match it but the original meaning was often something else, for example the gathering of seeds was to my knowledge more meant in a literal way that they thought a succubus would literally "sleep" with a man (while he sleeps, like through a sexual dream) and get it directly from him or through letting a women (witch) sleep with him. But to connect that to images of naked women in our culture is a stretch and is were I disagree with him and also partially with your second point. Don't get me wrong there are certainly some type of videos that feel truly wicked and the people in it look like they have no soul. But there are also a lot of images or videos of regular people (real couples for example) that just film themselves having real sex that doesn't feel soulless or influenced by demons. And I've stopped watching it years ago for other reasons so I'm not just defending my habits, I just think it's wrong to demonize (healthy) sexuality, and it seems to me the root why people think it's wrong isn't looking at naked image's itself, it's that some people still have this medieval belief that masturbating in general is bad, because whether you look at an image of a naked woman/man or just imagine one in your mind the physical act is the same, in both cases you're not with a real partner, so it's either evil in both cases or fine in both cases.

All that turns away from God leads to destruction. Children should be regarded as the fruit of the sacred union of two people in God. This is the most realistic path to sanctity for most, as the majority are not called to priesthood (I mean sanctity, not just salvation; Im talking further then that). The more you stray from this path, the harder it will be, as you will become more vulnerable to deception and despair. The same effect impacts children. Socially, the more these alternative forms become normalized, the more entitled people will feel to pursue personal desires rather than the Good, more disfunction.

No, it would be anti-christian as witch burning was common in pagan times and Christianity actually abolished it for 1000 years only to revive it in a schizotypical frenzy in the early modern period after the Western Church started to act like a paranoid bureaucracy after the Papal Gregorian Revolution and absolutism (backed by forged documents) and it's top-down management and strong clericalism absent in the East. I don't know what liberalism has to do with this but Many larpers like the Orthobros or Rad Trads are actually rebelling against Christian values themselves by trying to glorify like many fake reactionaries the inquisition and other deviencies with their utter moral imbecility. Both wokesters and tribal sectarian larpers are deformed extremes of Christianity. If you look at 6th century Justinian's reforms and the granting of many rights to women and children (if you look at their content many trads would call Justinian a feminist and a modernist) justified by Christian values you understand that while liberalism is a deformation any type of self restrain and antitribalism implicit in the Christian message (very radical and almost utopian but still true) is actually Christianity in disguise and the various based orthobros and rad trads are actually unconscious pagans with ubermench dreams rebelling against some Christian values and in fact what they are saying about "liberalism" today resembles what Roman pagans said about Christianity.

Whether something like witches or the supernatural really exists or not, the vast majority, probably all or almost all, of the cases that were killed were just regular people. Not only can you tell because the perpetrators were either incredibly stupid religiously fanatic peasants that suspected someone to be a witch for basically everything that didn't 100% align with their belief, in many cases it was also corruption or just spite (like person a doesn't like person b or wants the land of person b, so just say she's a witch, find some friends or mindless idiots that agree with you and her fate is basically sealed) and the way to find out wether they were a witch or not were also just ridiculous like "we'll put her under water, if she survives shes a witch, if not she was human" (and guess what, they basically just drowned a bunch of innocent people that way). Also often people weren't even seriously accused of being a witch, they were just suspected of maybe being one and then were tortured for so long until they admitted it and said whatever they wanted to hear just so it would stop. Maybe witches are real, maybe the devil and demons are real, but the true evil in the middle ages didn't come from them, it was dumb religious christian fanatics that killed and tortured the most people, ironically in the name of Jesus who preached peace and love and forgiveness. Also just in case you're not convinced yet that they were bad people, those good christians in the middle ages also had no problems with r*ping women, whether it's christian knights taking peasant women by force or christian soldiers that r*ped and murdered non christian women in the crusades for example. Also they of course also tortured, castrated and killed homosexuals in many christian countries.

You need to look at the Classical precedents too: Demeter is a thinly veiled child sacrifice (not just Persephone but also of the boy child she tries to pass through fire to give him “immortality “) and then far more explicitly the Punic Phoenician child sacrifice cult of Baal. There is extensive extant Roman invective writing against this, and now the archaeological finds confirm this practice through the uncovering of Tophets cemeteries of child burnt offerings buried in earthenware pots. The grimness of this practice was condemned not only by the pagan Romans but even more so by the Jews whose patriarch Abraham (Avram) refused (or was inspired by YHWH to refuse) to sacrifice Isaac. When we look at our post-Christian age we must look at the pre- Christian age to understand where we are heading when we destroy the tradition of our ancestors…. I think if anyone thought this through sufficiently rigorously they would feel horror at what may happen.

But we only have one example of a culture where we have actual evidence of regular child sacrifice, Phoenicians (and some of the Canaanites in Canaan that also worshipped Baal, which is where the Phoenicians/Carthaginians came from originally). But pretty much every other culture from the pre christian age that didn't have the bible or god to guide them still didn't sacrifice children (like Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Babylonians, Celts, Minoans, Hittites, Sumerians just to name a few) so I don't think we can make such a clear distinction of "christianity - good morals in society" and "no christianity - corrupt society". Even generally the idea that a christian society has good morals is a relatively recent development. Just look at the middle ages where basically everybody was a deeply religious christian, and that's exactly the time were we got things like the inquisition and witchhunts that killed and tortured thousands of innocent people, christian knights regularly r*aped peasant women, christian soldiers regularly r*aped and killed non christian women in wars all the time. Also the torture, castration and often also killing of homosexuals (which the christian bible even commands people to do) in most of the christian countries in the middle ages. So I honestly don't see how our society was that much better when it was completely christian.

Thank you for your reply. You make many valid points. However there is a muddle between 1. Christians & 2. Christianity. Furthermore you are mistaken re human sacrifice. The Romans & Greeks certainly performed infanticide as did all ancient peoples perhaps not on the scale of the Phoenicians but nonetheless. Secondly the bloodlusty execution by crucifixion, gladiatorial combat and ‘throwing to lions’ etc should be considered human sacrifice of a sort. I do not wish to minimise but the numbers of execution during the Inquisition are surprisingly low considering the received thinking. We should certainly include the horrific biting of witches which mainly was a Protestant phenomenon. How about Pogroms and the Shoa too? That must count as human sacrifice to my mind. Let’s not forget the Incas or the many African cults that call for human sacrifice to appease the gods.. Basically my argument is that humans have consistently done the most horrific things to each other and very little holds them back. So inspite of all the many sins of most of us, any thinking whether it is religious or humanitarian that holds us back is useful. In this the Romans, Jews and subsequently the Christians actively tried to proscribe against human and especially infant sacrifice. For this they deserve our gratitude s the basis for the values that holds life sacred.

This makes me think of a video you did where you talk about Genesis 38, Onan wasting his seed, and how what he did was sinful in the sight of The Lord. (Genesis 38 has deeper implications, too, as it's about lineage of Jesus, just mentioning this specific point). Great video, great insights.

Cool concept. Jonatan have you seen new Vatican mascot? Does they have power of anime and god by they side now? XD Does it bother you that maskot name is Luce , wich means light in italian, which is also super close to Lucifer?
@theophilfriedefürst2 ай бұрын
i haven’t looked up the context of the mascot, but the images do look quite cringe and untraditional. However „Luce“ as in light is the first explicitly stated word spoken in Genesis… Now the symbolical meaning of light in the context of Lucifer and also the fires of hell (which are also a form of light) is of course interesting. But nonetheless I think LIGHT is an appropriate symbolically positive christian name, even if the mascot itself might not be.

I believe that the doctrine of the family as taught by Jesus Christ is, if not the most restrictive, at least one of the most restrictive Christian doctrines, but it is not unfair at all, on the contrary, what man can achieve by respecting the doctrine taught by Jesus is not only salvation but also deification. That is why I believe that this aspect is one of the most targeted when it comes to tempting man, because sexual energy is the most difficult to manage, sexuality represents the most sensitive point of man, especially in conditions in which other human needs are covered. These aspects are contained in the first chapters of Genesis, from the moment when God makes the statement: "It is not good that the man should be alone; let us make him a helper suitable for him", immediately after giving him the first law: "Of every tree of the garden you may eat, But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die!" I appreciate the frankness with which the subject was approached.

Hi Jonathan. I was wondering if you would consider making a video about one of the fault lines in current cultural discourse that seems fundamental to me. Maybe you could flesh out the idea? A classical education, before woke indoctrination became paramount, typically involved a great deal of in-depth reading that helped students see the world through the eyes of people from different eras and from a plethora of vantage points. It broadened horizons and helped young people understand that we are all fundamentally the same, across time and cultures, the human condition remained constant. This is a basic but essential proposition at the heart of a liberal arts education. Perhaps it's the adage, "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom" given a starting point to achieve essential wisdom in preparation for reaching beyond, striving for the divine? Maybe I'm uneducated in my understanding of the woke mindset, but there seems to be a presuppositional disagreement along these lines. One so fundamental that boomers and gen X'ers have no idea what younger millennials and gen Z'er are on about. Especially from a literary, historical, and cultural perspective. The Marxist and CRT deconstructionist lens servers this classical worldview at its heart and orients an "othering" perspective that creates an inexplicable divide that leaves a gulf of incomprehensibility between the generations? There's plenty of content online about grievance studies as Marxism as such, but not any that's I've seen that looks at this particular fault line and its implications. Your perspective would be valuable on "know thyself"as an central ideal of education and the ramifications of decentering this pursuit. That is, if you think there's any substance to this idea.

The inquisition did some bad things, yes. However it wasn't nearly as bad as some say. On top of it they oddly added some rationality to the things people were bringing up, like the book Jonathan talks about in this video. They also basically initiated the very idea of "devil's advocate" representation for the accused (basically one of the very origins of the concept of the defense lawyer). Also, there were broader political, cultural and religious issues that people today rarely take into account when speaking about the Inquisition. Given some of the conclusions of Jonathan in this video, one wonders if the inquisition *should* have taken the contents of the said book more seriously.
@vexedgaming49792 ай бұрын
Yeah, I think it can also be seen in the book of Samuel, where King Saul was ordered by God to wipe out all of the Amalekites. He didn't follow through with it entirely and thus generations down the line there were problems. It's also to remember that even after so many falls, God still corrects the outcome to what was meant to be, tenspite our transgressions.

Yeah, Hollywood pushed the idea of the big bad Spanish Inquisition. Hollywood tends to lie a lot. Like every time they need a medieval setting, they will cover the town and the people with tons of mud. There was this story they were going to film in a well-preserved European medieval town, the first thing they did was to cover the whole area in mud. Always the association must be made that the Middle Ages equals ''the dark ages'', with dirt, squalor, superstition and crudeness, which lasted until the ""Enlightenment"", culminating in the foundation of the United States.

It's enough to look at how this topic is treated across the modern fiction, books and movies and comics, how respected the Wicca is (yeah, I know that it's a modern thing, but it can serve as a reference.) My point is: - everything related to witches is extremely popular and "cool," and their ideological enemies, namely Christians, are constantly besmeared and portrayed in a negative light. Without even mentioning some other stuff it's enough to see that they've won.

It's not controversial to say that Early Modern Period started around 1550, it's widely accepted amongst historians, some even put it up to a century earlier. It is however prudent to remind people, even some historians, that the witch trials didn't start until the very END of the 1500s and most fell between 1600-1750. You will still find them falling into the narrative trap even though they logically understand: End of Medieval: late 1400s/early 1500s Witch Trials: Late 1500s & throughout 1600s There's a weird cognitive dissonance to it

@@anthonypesola3294 Thank you for clarifying. It seems you’re exploring whether demons are understood as supernatural beings or as psychological influences. From a religious perspective, some may interpret demons literally as spiritual entities, while those with a more symbolic or agnostic viewpoint might see them as representations of inner psychological forces. Conversely, individuals with an atheist or materialist worldview might question the existence of demons entirely, viewing them as ideas that hold no significant meaning. Religious traditions, such as Orthodox Christianity, often regard symbols as absolute truths, which can carry moral implications and sometimes lead to conflicts that may not be grounded in shared understanding. On the other hand, Jungian symbolism tends to interpret these symbols as reflections of subjective experiences. While I have a keen interest in the philosophy of symbolism, I don’t consider myself an expert in this area. I appreciate your question, as it touches on the complex ways in which different people conceptualise and relate to the idea of demons.
@denniszaychik86252 ай бұрын
@@anthonypesola3294 Demons are not really angels. In fact it would be more accurate to view them as embodiments of natural forces (like spirits) and representations of natural instincts present within human beings. Angels on the other hand are indeed messengers and at the same time representations of desires for things greater than mere instinct or abstract metaphysical ideas such as Love, Justice, Duty, Mercy, Sacrifice, Devotion, etc.
