@@RobMcGrath0 just my thought, but judging by the other example he has also mentioned, maybe he's trying to say that no matter how useful like an arm or leg, how small like five dollars, or even how important like a wife, it is bound to be noticed when missing. like a misplaced book on a shelf, or in this case, a missing puzzle in life in general, no matter how big, small, few or many, there would still be a missing piece and you will be able to notice it. just my understanding tho

It means that one should adapt to a hierarchical standard to downgrade to an easyer meaningless way of life or throw himself into the void of solitude and hardships to hopefully find meaning and answer to the fondamental questions of exhistence. Ergo..we become what we choose to pursue. Isn't it? How can we evolve if everybody is watching life from the same perspective? So could be that an hyerarchical society is indeed the real social brake on human transcendence? As it poses as a constant threat to those who try different unexplored ways?

[@Corkybutcher3241]

We did try two “new” political philosophies in the early twentieth century but it was rejected by most of the world. People in general dislike any change which A) challenges their view of the world and B) would make any real new demands on them no matter how positive the possible benefits may appear. In any case you end up with some sort of hierarchy. Only in small communities has it been possible to create something resembling autonomy. Even so called democracies are controlled by a minority.

Great video, thank you! It is very relevant to stuff I've been thinking about lately. Like general mediocrity and lack of care and personal responsibility, not being hard on oneself to do better, complacency towards the many issues in the world and basically amusing themselves to death with endless hours of Netflix and/or social media, settling for what is easy and comfortable. Not questioning this reality they find themselves in for this brief temporary period of time. Taking their luxuries for granted (I mean those who have a stable income and roof over their head and who never have to worry about their next meal, with a lot of free time on their hands). Copies of copies following what is popular.

All natural obligations sadly. We are STILL filled with PTSD from former generations, bestowed to us forever in the form of bad societal habits informed by "what worked before". The only thing that will invoke change is a true dark age, that is, a society that is completely dijointed and forced to look into the mirror. But we just invented the magic information box about 20 years ago, so it's insanely difficult to pull ourselves from our celebration of overcoming....well ...any and everything. We simultaneously praise ourselves too much out of lack of danger, and also endanger ourselves with an overt acceptance of the idea of simply: I before you.

Brilliant work. You have outlined exactly what is happening in the world today and that it didn't happen by accident.

[@TheExNonGrata]

One key element that is somehow always missing in conversation about mass society is the idea of total mobilization. The video above mentions Heidegger. It should be noted that much of his ideas were in fact inspired if not taken from a man named Ernst Junger, who not only talked of the ways in which mass groupings of people may be a detriment to the spirit of each person, he also detailed extensively on the factor that technology played. Much of the philosophers mentioned in the video were 19th century, right when Germany led the second and third industrial Revolution. Technology had an immense role in an increasingly modernized society and Junger saw first hand from his experiences in the first world War the degree to which technology was also omnipresent in our everyday lives. The video talks about how collective society can influence the people, Junger talked about what influenced the collective society, which in turn grinded the individual to nothingness. He called the phenomenon total mobilzation. Indeed, Nietzsche talked of the last man, when man became a being that would no longer be in a state of becoming, but Junger, being a avid reader of Nietzsche himself, took this idea and talked of the ways in which man would not only no longer be in a state of becoming, but he would be subjugated to the position of serving the technological order in a state of total submission to the machine. Man has now become an extension of the machine, and he is now focused on the becoming of technology via he negation of he himself. The technology of course would be used to mobilize the very mass society which in turn led to man's subjugation. The "letzte Mensch" that Nietzsche theorized was put into practiced by the "arbeiter" that Junger would write about in the early 1930 just as his country was on the eve of following the totalitarian footsteps of technology. Modern mass society has indeed taken on a new Herrschaft und Gestalt.

[@KoheiNonGrata]

wow excellent comment, I have never heard of Junger before, but he seems to be a really cool guy, i just read his wiki and he seems to be really interesting. I like how you put a lot of things in its historical context like the great War or the fall of Weimar or the industrial revolution. As a historian myself, it helps to know the context when learning about new ideas like total mobilization. speaking of which where can i learn more about it.

[@TheExNonGrata]

@@KoheiNonGrata hey thanks for the kind words, ya history is really important when thinking about ideas especially because a lot of these ideas are a response to changing times. And on this the video does an excellent job laying out the context as well from beginning the video on the Greeks to more subtle examples of pointing out what inspired the ideas that the philosopher had. In regards to your last question, I actually made quite a lot of material on Junger. I think Junger is now more important than ever, his ideas were not only a response to the times like the other ideas mentioned in the video above, they were, like Nietzsche, a solution to the problems of modern societies.

Total Mobilization was an influence for one of Peter Sloterdijk's early works, Infinite Mobilization. Some consider him to be the leading philosopher today.

Just recently I heard a Chilean sci-fi radio drama that briefly touched on a futuristic (2028) dystopic form of government, the Egregore, mediated through a comentocratic social network, but it was in reality a totalitarian oclocracy. The name of the programme is "Caso 63", written by Julio Rojas and distributed through Spotify in Latin America.

[@burnbabylonburn78]

Sounds suspiciously like the New World Order they’re trying to force on us now.

[@rodylermglez]

@@burnbabylonburn78 Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Sorry. I laugh at your simple "they vs us" mentality, sorry. Not at all. In this audio novel I mention we did it to ourselves. In this fiction, the Egregore social network was comprised of millions of ordinary people "voting" solely with their entitled opinions in mind, and the opinion that got the majority became law. At first it was used with good intentions to persecute and execute pedophiles, assassins and criminals through an extremist form of cancelling, but then it's quickly weaponized for political use to eliminate any form of disent to the Egregore movement through ostracism, professional ruination, incarceration, and lastly death by burning through a literal mob with torches which storm Berlin. The time traveler mentions that the mob was organized through internet to destroy some "illegal students of Buddhism". Minors of age, teenagers, die in what he describes as the darkest period of modern human history. He mentions he was 9 years old by then but still remembers how the paranoia of being accused by other users kept everyone locked in. Everyone was captive by the system while at the same time everyone was Big Brother, waiting to expose and snitch on someone just to gain some digital clout, thus, no need for a central government to play the Big Brother role. Because of this purge in Berlin multiple governments through the world rule to regulate or close the social networks but, in retaliation, the transnational big data corporations shut down and destroy the Internet, causing it to go black around 2038. So no. Nothing alike the "new order" conspiracy theory scenario. Very plausible with how mob mentality in social networks works like today tho.

[@mattstiglic]

@@rodylermglez the new world order conspiracy is not a theory. It is indeed a quite open and readily available plan, spanning over a century, written about in many, many texts by many different and influential people in time.

I felt this individuality yesterday as the only person in a crowd of people without a mask getting a jab all eyes on me.

Insane in the membrane…welcome to omicron.

Why did you get the jab? Peer pressure?

[@RedScorpion92]

Another great video

[@nameisntimportant749]

I would like to point out, though I havent watched the full video, that it is us in western society who feel the need to be individualistic, while the eastern society is oriented towards collectivity. It seems that humans are capable of both schools of thought. What are we then trying to accomplish here?
