Idk how you dont have a million subs at least just for this series.

[@foxxie1702]

@@mohammadalhajahjeh393 A lot of people do like philosophy, yes, but many are also very surface level with it and only stick to a few philosophers rather than exploring the whole vast ocean of what this world has to offer. I also think it might be possible that most people prefer quick summarizing videos with more imagery, like what art of life does, over this longer podcast-y sort of stuff, but I don't know if that's actually part of it. Also, Plastic Pills is another incredible philosophy channel and he only has 44.7k subs. Most really good philosophy channels sadly don't have nearly as much as I think they deserve. I'd also count Tom Nicholas in there as one of my top favorites although he has a lot of subs for the niche.

Can't you do an episode on anomie and durkheim's antics? I've been obsessed with this podcast for the past year or so, you're doing lords work.

[@matthewsim57]

Your work is impeccable. I really hope your channel blows up one day.

[@ShumuStudios]

Sir, your brain is impeccable. Thank you, I highly respect you and your work

After going through all your 150+ episodes, some of the philosophical ideas are really helping me became a more resilient, Motivated, positive mindset towards life, towards my Germany dream. Thanks a lot for that, Steve.

This is great

[@projectmalus]

A magician shows 3 cards and in each card there is a magician showing three cards. Pick the universe card and efficiency, context and identity are shown. To us, a striving for perfect symmetry/the Pearl/singularity which descended in dimension (object to circle to curved segment) so we use efficient brachistochrone curves as tasks and lives, base runs...to build a novel object and send it out. Birds do it too, so yes the beauty and value can be seen as valuable as context and efficiency, and the virtuous building towards the Pearl, as built in.

[@Firerose101]

What if perpetrator and victim both died decades ago? Who (Why) do we take revenge out on then?

[@projectmalus]

The who and why are perpetuated as ideals held up in front of oneself, in the near future to be chased or followed. The duality is the mechanism, to see it as such is to simplify and this marginalizes all parties. To see it in a more complex way, think about the players on stage as enacting their roles, for those who would learn the lesson and apply it. When this happens, the so-called victims are brilliant, exquisite actually. The so-called perps have the dull role. We redeem them all by learning the lesson and applying it, and acknowledging their roles.

[@LeventeCzelnai]

the world. it reproduces them all over again. i mean we have to identify ourselves as objects (not subjects) of the world to make this sense.

[@projectmalus]

@@LeventeCzelnai Kill the machine/anti-natalism? Good call about objectifying oneself to achieve that I think, but a balance seems to require both subjective and objective it seems to me. Edit: I think you're saying they aren't balanced 'cause they lack the subjective part. Caring about a small part only and not everything, so it's ok to destroy it.

[@craftycri]

"useful" or Practicalism is an oddity, imo, a killing of time till time kills you, to no end, just something to do. "If you don't know what to do, envy" curious, or count stars, or grains of sand, or a long leap with a short rope? "why do they run... when there's no where to go?" Amazing this absurdity is countenanced.

[@stevesmith4901]

Not bad.

[@jaytoka1741]

Hello. The thing is, every single one of us Human animals is completely unique to each other in our minds. Strange is normal. Yeah, sure, we do the same things socially, shop, eat, work, whatever, but personally, we are all different. We have learned to co-exist together in the societies system of rules and learned to, mostly, generally, accept and respect each others differences. However, it seems that those gifted the positions of Leadership in governing the general public, along with the media, have confused, frustrated, divided and twisted peoples minds, to the point where they become de-humanised and lost. Fearful of everyone and everything. Then religion is thrown into the mix, claiming you go to a Hell if you don't do as they say, eat, dress, do. When, in reality, we'd all know Right from Wrong, naturally, our conscious tells us, and guilt lets you know you possibly could have done something different, or maybe not at all. Someone would, I'd imagine, help if they can, even if it just means being there for that moment, any of us would if we came across it, I'm sure. Altho, some, possibly, being raised the way they are raised, might find some acts, which might be deemed bad to others, perfectly normal. Every one of us is Alien and animalistic and there are also Alphas. But, life's experience generally teaches us Right from Wrong, and teaches us compassion, wisdom, common sense and understanding as we journey, meet and group, and generally, we become good overall. We shouldn't, and don't, need a book to tell us Right from Wrong. None of us has the right to judge. But, Human nature being what it is, with the baseline feral instinct, every single one of us is unstable. And Humans think that everyone around them is thinking of them, because they are there and they don't fit in because they think they are different, because society has taught them to think like that. But, hey, the very fact that we still live in such mixed circumstances and mostly get on is pretty damn amazing, especially in todays world. It's not so much truth, altho that's an obvious, it's more transparency from gov we should expect. We, as fellow adult Humans, have the right to know anything, and everything, good or bad, that our elected government has discovered, and if it has a benefit to society, implement it promptly, because that is the role of gov. Just my humble opinion, wrong or right, but honest. Good talk.

There are no absolute facts. This is an absolute fact.

[@TeaParty1776]

That implies an entire universe of absolute facts.

[@raresmircea]

In all his intellectual magnificence Nietzsche didn’t anticipate how his work can be interpreted in ways that would be rust to human nature and society. Ask any rebellious teenager, any Yale frat member, any right-winger, any Wall St crook what philosopher inspires them and they’s give one of two names, Nietzsche or Rand.

[@raresmircea]

@philosophy Same for Nietzsche himself. S was a revelation to him.

[@TeaParty1776]

“Nietzschean egoists” who, in fact, are a product of the altruist morality and represent the other side of the altruist coin: the men who believe that any action, regardless of its nature, is good if it is intended for one’s own benefit. Just as the satisfaction of the irrational desires of others is not a criterion of moral value, neither is the satisfaction of one’s own irrational desires. Morality is not a contest of whims . . . . -Ayn Rand

[@adicbn]

I don’t know why but to me Beauvoir sounds like is always off topic with her thinking 🤦‍♂️

[@craftycri]

Interesting, and thank you for this lecture... is it true there is no god? Has that proposition really been killed? Nietzsche's binary here is rather ironic... assuming its true, how is the Christian model for life worse than Nietzsche's? And in the end, if it makes the adherent happy (and it unquestionably does for many), isn't that the best any system could hope for? Moreover, in Nietzsche's model, why would I trust anyone ever? So long as I served their interest, yeah, I have value, but the moment I don't... perhaps this explains genocide of 200+ million by the totalitarian regimes devoted to atheism... who knows? Nevertheless, I appreciate your work, and look forward to your next installment.

[@luxnove]

Sorry to tell you but you missed the point in many ways.

[@zaksilva-sampaio7876]

I have to disagree with Nietzsche about artwork. There is artwork that I feel embarrassed at least for liking, I call them guilty pleasures.

[@sagesarabia5053]

You make a lot of assumptions about religion. You completely disregard spirituality but I guess it doesn’t matter to you because you believe spiritually exists anyways
