One Punch Man: Death Drive, Surplus Enjoyment, and How to find Purpose

[@ScottMachesky]

This one made me cry. You’ve really helped me find my purpose - I used to work a job I hate, and I was fortunate enough to quit because my wife owns a successful small business that could support both of us for awhile. Now im trying to become a KZbinr, and I feel like what I’m trying to do (fuse philosophical concepts with pro wrestling and various other pop culture) is so challenging. I fail at it everyday. Every day I want to give up. Every day I think I’m not smart enough or talented enough. Like I’m walking this path alone. But I KNOW I’m finding out who I am outside of myself (the object sees me in its gaze). It’s the hardest thing ive ever done. Your lectures help to ground me and remind me. It is love, it is failure, it is hopelessness, it is a fall into something both thrilling and uncertain.

This was such a great lecture! I wrote a poem a while back that seems very fitting . Hopefully it’s ok to share. Maybe this is my way of enriching my own subjectivity or creating a transcendental experience lol. “Do we not create art to be seen, to be heard. To be interpreted among the masses to consume. Do we not create to be immortalized and exulted to that of gods amongst men. To create the world in our image, an alter to our canvas and our names spoken on the tongues of prayers laid before us . Old Gods no longer dwell in the minds of the evolutionary man. The new God's have risen from the ashes of our algorithmic state and lie forth, be fruitful for we multiply the creation of a new age of man of the compulsory self”.

Another masterpiece ur creativity is inspiring u should have way more views and subs

[@taciprince7400]

You just inspired every half hearted creative that watched this video ty

[@The_Kristiane]

Saitama is similar to Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen novel. Once you reach that strength you were seeking your whole life... you will feel empty. If you survive that emptiness and nos suicide, you will be so strong (mentally for example) that you can get numb on other's struggle and lack empathy thowards them, seen then as weak and being arrogant... every wekness is seen as disadvantage deseved to be abused on. That gives a birth to the narcisist. Someone obsessed to control everything aroud him because only he/she know better. Eather all that or you became just an empty vessel to fill with whatever gives you purpouse... hence become a hedonist.

I like your content keep it up king

Another aspect of OPM woth noting is that despite saitama's unlimited strength he is still classed by the Hero association as a class C hero since his feats of strength are never recognized and are too magnificent to be fathomed. Many times contributed to other Heros. On the other hand, and although the matter of rank should be beneath him as an omnipotent being, the fact that he is not recognized and is underclassed clearly gives his life a speck of meaning...Thanks for these videos always thought provoking and entertaining 🙏🏻

Excelente análise mais uma vez!

Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot- not Camus. 😊

[@julianphilosophy]

Unfortunate slip.

[@aporiaiseuphoria]

Hey Julian, love this video. Would you consider the cunning of reason as maybe a part of the imaginary real? Still don't have the best grip on what the cunning of reason is, but I thought I was hearing similarities when you spoke about the imaginary real.

[@Suplex479]

Hey, would you consider talking about the philosophy in some is Monty Pythons movies?

[@grivza]

8:53 But is this true from a psychoanalytical perspective? Do people really "know" there is a game over screen? I always felt the opposite, people don't really believe in death cause they don't know death.

[@Mary-Mar]

I thought I was the only one who uses the term "real, real" :)

[@annedeoedipus7849]

Did you say Camus’ Godot instead of Becket? Sorry I’ve probably missed something.

[@ali3889]

Good catch. That was an interesting slip since Camus’ concept of the absurd is brilliant demonstrated in Beckett’s “Waiting for Gadot.”

[@happygucci5094]

I just watched it and commented/ he did misattribute authorship 😊 It was Beckett not Camus

31:58 That may be why in the monotheistic religions, God made sure that humans could be consumed by evil. If he were truly a God, and especially a God which is human like Jesus, he needed a purpose to become being-for-itself, creating humans mirror to himself who can become evil. The role of the God of the Old Testament is to teach by punishment and tests for mankind can obey him; his purpose is obediance and thereby the essence of evil is disobedience in this stage of Godhood. However, the role of Jesus was teaching through authentic masterism, showing the freedom one can uphold so that one can become free and when Jesus died on the cross, it is the completion of God as God; he is now in-itself and for-itself, dying so that the human community can continue on its own ground the good that he has taught; the Saint Spirit. This goodness is however, not the good of the old testament but the new one, freedom. The boredom one can get is this lack of freedom due to the death of God that is the lack of the teacher, of the being-in-itself finding itself through its evil opposition, us who, completing its duty disappeared for us to become Gods and thereby, as we were the students we cannot be teachers, we must find a path through life that is over those categories since we are now well-taught. God created evil due to boredom or the fear of boredom to become a teacher. Once he was completed, he disappeared comprehending that his time was nos to let his students come to maturity, thereby continuing a certain existence in them.
