[@Soyarita44]

Erich, is the best teacher on humanity. I love him!

[@criticaltheoryresearchnetw2149]

Agreed.

[@user-yk9sk7pg6v]

Do you by chance have a favorite book of Fromm's you could recommend?

[@Soyarita44]

Yes, "The art of love" it's the best one.

It’s depressing to see how few viewers have watched this great video!!

[@jossiesh7649]

you are so right

[@etcetera3282]

How important this message of wisdom is. This should been viewed by millions by now, especially when all kinds of trashy celebrity talk or sleazy music videos get millions of views instantly.

[@enriqueshadah7262]

People are conditioned not to think and are manipulated through the eliciting of and appeal to emotions. The reason media got so extreme, apart from the inherent financial interests behind it, is that the quest to conquer our emotions has led to unearth our innermost demons (or primal emotions). This is why Orwell created the notion of the “two minutes of hate” as a way to coalesce all that energy into one monolithic block of irrational animal instincts aimed at an phantasmal adversary (a decoy, if you will) that distracts the masses from the real threat of mental enslavement by self-proclaimed masters.

[@etcetera3282]

@@enriqueshadah7262 I couldn't agree more. You put the whole matter succinctly together.

[@criticaltheoryresearchnetw2149]

Thank you for posting! The world might need Erich Fromm now more than ever.

[@pdelaprimm]

Amazing to experience lectures or discussions by Fromm, Huxley, Maslow, Rogers, Dass and many more. Wow, just Wow.

[@JB-jr8zw]

Huxley is nothing like Fromm. Are you listening to individuals you like or are you saying those people you listed have some similitude?

[@mirrorinsideout]

Fantastic lecture, agreement or disagreement notwithstanding. The issue is what do we do with it today.

[@kamalpreetsingh1686]

This lecture shows the concern over future of humanity due to second world war which caused immense destruction ....thank God we survived till now because of these kind of humanistic intellectuals

Thank you so much for uploading this lecture, really appreciate it.

We didn't choose correctly yet... At the end of the road and about to make the same choice once again.

The Game of Abuse _ The Model of Abuse

[@CollectionOfTheTimeless]

Profound wisdom. When all self-concern ends, one starts to ask: what are the main reasons why society doesn't change for the better? It seems we have built ourselves a big mess we cannot get out of. The masses see capitalistic democracy as the best possible system. There is no imagination of any alternative. One which would be humane, one which wouldn't turn individuals to workhorses, or passive beings. Besides this, we're under mass distraction. It's insane how celebrities like Cardi B are more known to people than lets say, Gabor Mate, or Iain McGilChrist.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

Wow, Erich From in English! I'm so excited... 😊 Especially, since it's on a topic I am most interested in.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

This is speech is acutally about the Afghanistan war and what followed the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. Humanity is doomed because of the decisions of the Western man.

[@izharfatima5295]

It's not possible without ripping out the posts of centuries long held religious and paganistyc beliefs societies that a person could possibly be able to understand freedom in clear perspective of human perceptive domain as we can see Mr. Fromm staggering in between individual and collective concept of choice.

[@clemfarley7257]

Well, Blinken just said Ukraine will be part of NATO. So, how did that chess move affect future choices and the possibility of peace?

[@_7.8.6]

Why does he sound like he has a slight Indian accent ?

[@izharfatima5295]

So when your autocratic head designed by articulated people disappears so does the freedom of choice? That infers to highly controlled restricted the only imposed choice is to protect the head, could it be in any way considered as freedom? Does it through any angle depicts any thing as freedom? No.

Marx’s Concept Of Man

[@SamHusseini]

Bible says God hardened his heart but doesn’t mean that. Bs.

[@nonamehere-y2t]

I think it is easier to understand this assuming God withdraws his presence from any man and the heart therefore hardens lacking the Holy Presence. God will allow therefore what He allows to happen by removing His holy presence is noted in the story as "God Did..", i.e. "God hardened it".

[@mehdidaneshvari4315]

As a racing horse is a different horse compering with a working horse, yet they are the horses. As a milking cow is a different cow comparing with a cow on her way to the slaughterhouse , yet they are all cows. Humans are built differently in qualities,yet “ human all humans.” as Nietzsche says.

[@bundleofperceptions1397]

We know what a barbaric world looks like, because we are living in one now, and that is because of people's religious ideology, they were unable to believe people in other countries could behave humanly. Imagine what the world would be like had we listened to Erich Fromm back then and put his ideas into practice.

[@izharfatima5295]

Think, with this brush and the colours of different self created humans taboos and permissions in reference to desire the picture painted of human society, how hediuos grosteque and lifeless it is.

[@drdarshiniannadezoysa980]

From and Marcuse debates are still in the journals of the university of london library, not in most UK universities. Survived the holocaust.

And unintentionally or intentionally taking support from centuries old dogmas.
