Lecture on Postmodernism & Poststructuralism

[@stevengoldleaf3909]

Great stuff. You should post more of these lectures/discussions. Fluid, thorough, and concise.

[@AmericanGwyn]

Thank you!

[@christirva339]

As someone who is interested in this but dropped out of college, thank you lol wanna get back to school soon but in the meantime I’m happy you’ve posted stuff like this.

[@ashleenbagnulo7594]

This is illuminating for some stuff I'm doing on postliberalism. Thanks for making these approaches more accessible for me!

[@AmericanGwyn]

Thank you!!!

Really great lecture, thanks Aaron.

I laugh every time someone calls something "based" because I remember back when calling something "based" meant "like freebase cocaine" aka Crack People have no idea they are calling their favorite hot take artist crack heads and I love it so much.

Hey man really enjoying the videos and lectures. Keep up the good work!

[@calvinschirmer2159]

Thanks for this - I've been hearing these terms for years but always in politically/morally/emotionally charged conversations, which make it very hard to actually understand the concepts. I'm not saying I understand them fully, but I'm a bit closer, so again, thank you!

Really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Thanks for demystifying these terms. Need to listen through a couple more times to really sink in though 🙏👍

[@AmericanGwyn]

So glad you connected with it!

Idk why, but that thumbnail makes me envision a cyberpunk version of Blood Meridian. Or maybe I just really want one.

[@AmericanGwyn]

Be pretty sweet, no?

[@leitmotif7268]

@@AmericanGwyn sounds like a great writing prompt, Blood Meridian in different genres to see how its story and ideas can be interpreted or reimagined or retold in different ways.

42:00 really didn't expect a mini-etymology on Based in a Structuralism lecture, but AFAIK, it at least comes from Brandon McCartney aka Lil B aka Based God for y'know the counter-cultural tough gang banger persona > which then got co-opted where else by 4chan used tongue-in-cheek about pretty off-color takes (typically Sexist or Racist) as Based before working into the larger forum culture of just "anything cool is Based" before eventually being co-opted by right-wing personalities for again, non-PC takes, but done completely non-ironically and outside the 4chan niche

[@radicallyindepedentauthor]

Really enjoying this one.

[@AmericanGwyn]

Glad to hear it!

[@wolfgabe8925]

What’s the prof’s name ?

[@FearOfTheDarkS312]

Is Judge Holden based or cringe⁉️‼️

[@billyalarie929]

Fun fact, “based” comes from a rapper called lil b the based god and he is a TERRIBLE indie rapper who has done and said varying levels of insane things, up to and including kidnapping and sexual slavery. I’m pretty sure it’s a meme that Lil B isn’t actually fully aware is against him (which it is as far as I understand)

Whoa i hear a legit chalkboard!

[@JEEDUHCHRI]

I love the way he dismisses and outright mischaracterizes one of the most important eras of American history, the sixties. The hippies said everything is permitted and ran around and got std’s. LOL.

The 60s were a PsyOp and a marketing scheme: grow up!
