[@PhilosophiesforLife]

Albert Camus says “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion”.

Riddle me this, how can advocate for freedom when asking for more censorship? You can't have both they are mutually exclusive. Just like how on Twitter you have the mute button each individual person has the power to stop negative feed back. You don't need the government or a top down system censoring people who you don't like. Because just like everything else you give the government, leftist, progressives,... An inch they'll put you against a wall eventually.

HOW VERY MUCH I needed to find this video tonight. I had no idea how much I love Albert Camus. YAY! ❤👏

[@ReynaSingh]

I think the existentialists had a good grasp on life and philosophy. What good is philosophy of it is not helping us understand ourselves better

[@dennisventura149]

🙏🏽 so true

[@LANCSKID]

He wasn’t an existentialist… do your research!

[@maximusprimus2313]

True He was not an existentialist but is considered one by the teacher if Philosophy. Most Modern Philosophers consider Camus to be a poor Existentialist and undisciplined. Only recently (past 20 years or so) has Absurdism come to its own. The best thing about philosophy is the dialogue back and forth the coming to an agreement together. Not just harsh statements to demonstrate how right you are and how terribly wrong the other person is.

[@LANCSKID]

Philosophy is the love of WISDOM not the love of words. Wisdom is knowledge in action.

[@annanikia7949]

Thank you for reminding us of this brilliant being and his philosophy!

[@markbrady7532]

Thank you so much for this. Camus and Kierkegaard (and Kafka and Dostoevsky) were such huge influences on me in early adulthood. You have such a wonderful, meaningful summation of these ideas. I really appreciate it.

[@LANCSKID]

Wonderful, meaningful summation? I think not.

[@ahaks7269]

Brilliant timing! I got curious with Camus a week ago. Thanks for the video, cheers!

Ditto.

[@timothykangethe7700]

Camus has Awesome insights 🎯. As an Artist 🎨 I find this Deep Philosophical thought process necessary for recreation/living a curated life. Rebellion against Societal Conveyor Belts Pressure is one form of real Freedom when one takes Full Responsibility and thrives on their own terms & Lane in Life.🎇

That's so deep that I now have at least 19 tiny post-it notes on it. I WILL MAKE THESE THE RULES I LIVE BY. (I can't believe I just agreed mindlessly to this video but man do I agree with it.)

[@maximusprimus2313]

How do we as a society judge what is wrong and right when it comes to information. Who gets to choose what is considered right or wrong.

[@xfactorb25222]

Exactly...You don't give one of the man's rules- Freedom of speech, no matter what. Then, follow it up with a censorship opinion. I had to hit the comments, glad I found at least one person who objected.

[@1wheelonly583]

Philosophy can help us judge - if information is harmful to people -(such as hate speech) that isn't just or fair.

[@AwakenZen]

Is murder right or wrong?

[@danserrano100]

Wonderful ideas thought by Camus, why some people have exceptional thoughts than others? What makes them so to even question their civilization, culture and religion

[@jittersgeyser620]

Instead of labeling peoples ideas as 'misinformation', we need to encourage people to explore ideas. Then educate them about how media from the left and the right can manipulate. Our education system grooms the youth, but doesnt show them to think critcally or question the status quo. THAT is dangerous with todays society.

[@JohnAbraham1987]

Education system is designed to produce slaves, for capitalism to reign.

[@TheEnigm8]

I'd go even further and say critical thinking should be made part of every teaching curriculum and should be compulsory like maths and language from 6yrs old onwards

[@kotby3066]

ya that's right freedom lies in what we can control and what we can't like stoicism said

[@chemquests]

I prefer the Epicurean approach that freedom lies in letting go the illusion of control and find equanimity

[@seven8519]

“fake news” and “abuse” and how exactly do we determine what constitutes this? who is and isnt allowed to be censored? when are we justified in saying “this persons freedom of speech is the wrong kind of freedom?” preaching absurdism and speaking on camus and simultaneously trying to justify censorship on the internet is hilariously off base.

[@sheepdog03]

You had me until censorship and “misinformation.” Yes we should definitely get a Ministry of Truth lol

[@morbidbushido]

I think its quite disgusting for the author of this essay to sneak in "Protecting people from Fake News and Abuse" when speaking of freedom of speech in the digital age because that means censorship. That is NOT what Camu envisioned with his philosophy, it is clear in his work that freedom of speech comes with its own downside but that does not mean we should compromise it in any way.

[@PointlessRhetoric]

The concept of fact checking is itself an impingement of free speech and free thought. When you weigh reality you have to concede that there are going to be discrepancies. When you construct walls around ideas you disrupt the flow. If misinformation becomes adopted then in all likelihood it holds some grain of Truth. Ultimately individuals with the ability to comprehend the complexities will suss out any obvious lie.

[@s.ekin.]

Impingement Discrepancies Holdin grains Suss out

[@mrstoner2udude799]

FALSE

[@PointlessRhetoric]

@@mrstoner2udude799 you have to be able to understand the concept of doublethink in order to not be manipulated by it. Broader truths are on a scale and within it there are inconvenient details which are omitted or debunked in a sense to unclutter the message that is trying to be conveyed. Misinformation in itself is information in that it's the negative aspect which is necessary to understand the positive aspect.

[@morbidbushido]

Thanks for this! I just made a comment about how i think its very misleading to include "Protecting people from Fake News and Abuse" in Camus work concerning Freedom of speech as if it is something he would endorse. Its quite disgusting. If there is a lot of misinformation and lies online without any repercussions then it is becasue the Govt endorses it and when thats the case no amount of censorship can help people online. It will be a slow and painful death of intellectual discourse online such as what we are witnessing now. Speech must be free becasue that is the only way good ideas can survive by their own merits and bad ideas die, censorship is a means of subsidizing bad ideas so they survive on Govt or private interest support.

[@PointlessRhetoric]

This video was sponsored by the Cabal I guess. How embarassing to hear you butcher Camus so it fits the current mindset. KZbin and social media censorship is acceptable... to protect us. The White House, WHO and CDC will be happy. This no philosophy of absurdity this the philosophy of authoritarian bullshit as always justified by "the greater good"
