Kierkegaard Against Social Media | How To Live Inauthentically | Philosophy & Psychology

[@PropunKla]

I see Kierkegaard, I click and never seem to regret it.

"Do it or do not do it, you will regret it either way"

Kierkegaard's work helped me work through a lot of things while I studied philosophy formally. This is a fantastic overview of a few of his major points. Great job, really enjoying this channel!

[@ThoughtsonThinking]

Thanks!!

[@fierypickles4450]

I wonder what a kierkgaardian tool kit would be to counter inauthenticity in the modern era. Where does one begin to unravel despair? Of course to be aware that one despairs is the first step, but often i imagine we tend to deceive ourselves with those strategies, the desire to be popular, lost in imagination etc. I know im guilty of the latter, trying to write a short story before i turn 29 to prove i can change, ironically by the 29th. All ive noticed from trying to do this, is how much Neitzsche is right about slave morality, which in a sense is a will to self annihilation or will to group appeal. I noticed that i put a lot of time into activities that involve others, hang outs, talking on messenger, a lot of reddit browsing, and ofc youtube. More consuming than creating. The passivity characteristic of herd morality. Its really sinister. Im still wrestling with it

[@martinpontvik1635]

Grest stuff! Keep it up, I watch your content everyday

[@ThoughtsonThinking]

That's awesome! Glad you enjoy the channel :)

[@Eternalised]

Another fantastic video! Glad Kierkegaard went trending on Twitter. So little is known of this great philosopher in English speaking countries. Keep up the good work #kierkegaard hype

[@agentfundacji1]

It’s good to see ,in this ocean of “funny cat videos” or “ Top 10 Mysteries of Fortnite”, a channel that actually makes videos with some actual good content. Keep it up, we need this in internet.

[@figureofhope]

4th video I've watched of yours , subscribed, great content. Keep going and give us more Kierkegaard!

[@jordanhennings1541]

Another great video! I really admire the way you delicately analyze and synthesize the arguments of these thinkers with scrutiny and humility. I hope you appreciate your work as much as we do. Looking forward to future videos!

[@LONDONFIELDS2001]

fantastic. brilliant job.

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

This video makes me think. Thankfully I don’t really have a social media account except Reddit and KZbin. With my ADD Kierkegaard sounds a little difficult for me to read, so thank you for the analogies to help me better comprehend ( and the pictures). I love your videos and use them when I work out on my stationary bike, so please keep it up.

[@laflame1358]

fucking love ur videos bro never stop. you are changing a lot of peoples lives ...

[@not2tees]

When I feel extra heavy despair, the thought of at last joining Facebook starts to haunt me.

[@manpersonreal901]

Imagine still using Facebook

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

You’re beautiful and the fact that you’re here is enough for me to know you’re brilliant! No FB

[@not2tees]

@@gracefitzgerald2227 Thank you, Grace!

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

not2tees You’re welcome. It feels a lot better to try to piece together the jumbled spaghetti bowl that is philosophy, than getting triggered on FB. 😀

[@r.t.5767]

I sometimes think about it too, but then I realise it won't change anything for better

[@elizabethmictian9331]

Best. Channel. Ever.

[@FirstnameLastname-et3fy]

I had a hard time following this one, but still left it a like because this channel is great 👍 I think more modern day examples couldve been helpful in this one

[@nelsongalvan2178]

Kierkegaard was no stranger to fame, though in his case, it was in the form of cruel mockery. He writes in his journal and I paraphrase, that in the ancient world, which Kierkegaard called the age of passion, someone like Jesus was crucified for speaking his mind and heart. In the modern world, someone like Jesus is simply laughed at and called a madman.

[@tomrhodes1629]

Thanks for that piece, Nelson. As an honest-to-God teacher and prophet of God, I can tell you that most of the modern world would not laugh at Jesus and call Him a madman. The huge majority would simply ignore Him. This is a world of marketing to ciphers. And they simply aren't buying Truth. They're buying Donald Trump and Fox "News." I bring the same message that Yeshua One with Christ did. Because, orthodox Christianity has entirely corrupted the "gospel" such that it is in direct opposition to the GOOD NEWS that Yeshua One with Christ actually brought. Give me a "click" if you're ready for a deep dive. I don't receive KZbin comments notifications (so that i communicate primarily with seekers), but if you want to find me it's easy enough.

@@tomrhodes1629 I know who you are and where you have come from. You are from the immortal realm of Barbelo. And I am not worthy to utter the name of the one who has sent you.

[@DinkSmalwood]

@@KerbalSpacey My favourite gospel! Too bad it didn't make it into the Bible.

[@invertedfreak]

When you are in the public eye, the crowd will desire to expose all your weaknesses. The more people particularly hate one individual, the more untruthful their hate is. This paradox is from the fact that the person who speaks in a manner that is true to themselves, the less the world can understand them. That's why that kind of mockery is so painful. To be an authentic individual and be shut down by people who have no idea what it honestly means to be an individual is a rather absurd situation.

[@batsky6061]

“Zuko, you have to look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself.” You have good taste if you know where this is from.

[@sirrobot4489]

Very well thought out content. Subscribed. Do explore out Wittgenstein as well in another video

[@dharmnayak5474]

will maintaining equilibrium between the finite and the infinite lead us to our true selves ? and what does it actually mean when he says "it distracts them from attaining their 'true selves'" in this context ?

[@agentfundacji1]

I guess we need to read more my friendo...

[@jessewallace12able]

Isn’t this a form of social media?

[@theheckplays2252]

I've heard a lot about Kierkegaard but I haven't actually got around to reading any of his stuff. Obviously I need change that.

[@Linda........]

Great video 😍 can someone please tell me the source of these quotes

[@scottkraft1062]

The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker brought me here

[@PatrickGraven]

Something I've noticed over the last couple of years that has become a major problem and that is phone addiction. I see it from time to time, people outside walking looking down in a screen over and over again, not present. I think these people who can't seem to function without the phone need to be taught a few things about life and discipline, they are addicted to the phone, cannot do without it even when they are around others or in their own home. How can they honestly be giving their 100 percent to anything when they are constantly looking down at their phone, it makes me wonder what kind of things they will do in the world. Personally, I grew up in the 90's, a time when people didn't have a phone in their hand at all, for they were too busy outside working and other times people were engaged with something meaningful and productive. The only thing that was in their hands was tools, soil and rocks. So today, it really makes me wonder how on earth will people function or even work towards anything productive without a screen close by. We need to stop looking into screens and get working towards being active and productive.

[@PatrickGraven]

I do understand what you are saying, I hear you, but real growth and strength is gained more from being more physical in our life experiences. Those who gain confidence only when they are fully embellished externally or when things work out smoothly, tend to be vulnerable more than anybody else, because there are so many conditions that have to be met for bringing themselves out into the world, that are encountered with numerous obstacles in that process. On the contrary, if you have the ability to open up yourself to the world with ease, that indicates that you have mental power.

[@darknessml6145]

Kinda reminds me of the Neurotic and the Psychotic

[@monacattan3014]

Histogram is a reflection of society today whereby young people are drawn by a herd community, it's mores about physical beauty, and this attitude would persist in real life, regardless of the new platform of social media.

[@axislivedotorg]

You had a video about Kierkegaard the mentioned what Soren predicted would happen if a “voicetube” was created and put everywhere I’ve been looking for it with various search terms and attempts to rewatch some to find it Do you have access to that content?? Can you share it with me here as a comment?

[@NecroSonic1]

Having recently read the original version it seems to me that the English translation have a hard time capturing the nuances and poetry of the terms that Kierkegaard uses to explain his categories of synthesis of the self.
