$3-4,000 a class is not an exaggeration. I am a university student, I see the prices everyday. Textbooks for a class like this can easily be $300-400, and often times they force you to buy a particular edition that you couldn’t otherwise find online

Depends on the subject. Sometimes you need exact quotes and formulation (like mathematics) that would take too much time of the lecture. In this case it is easier to present it on a powerpoint. But then more elaborate examples and such will be taken on the board.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

🐟 02. A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle object within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the senses, plus the subject (the observer of all phenomena) - is what most persons actually refer to when they use the term “GOD”. REAL God is Impersonal Absolute Nothingness (otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera). “God” is One Reality, but just as a knife cannot cut itself, or fire cannot burn itself, “God” cannot know Himself (or at least EXPERIENCE Himself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Himself. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness. N. B. The word “God” is, by definition, a title of the male Deity, and is not to be taken literally here. Apparently, this phenomenal universe was “created” (within Consciousness) with the initial act (the so-called “Big Bang”), and from that first deed, every action that has ever occurred has been a direct or indirect result of it. Just as every particle of matter in the universe was once contained in the ’singularity’, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the Big Bang, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (‘all this is indeed Brahman’). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are that! Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a consequence of that initial manifestation. That is the most accurate and logical explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY. The notion of retributive (“tit for tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human (and non-human animal) was determined by those two factors ALONE, thus free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Because we are temporarily residing within this dualistic universe, we experience both pleasure and pain. Suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal doership - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts and deeds. There are five MANIFESTATIONS of suffering: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including us humans, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” The human organism is simply a biological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and the three subtle material elements. So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (supposedly) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all forms of suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to find an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another. Even if you follow a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life (all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course). Furthermore, if it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to accept discipline from a truly enlightened master, and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by practicing at least one of the four systems of yoga (religion) described in the Holy Scripture, “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”. Best wishes for your unique, personal journey towards unalloyed peace and happiness! “The meaning of life is life itself.” ************* “A wise Rabbi once said 'If I am I because you are you, and you are you because I am I, then I am not I, and you are not you'.

Especially when you are not facing the cam and you are at some distance from it you are really barely intelligible and for someone who is not a native like me (despite my level steadily approaching nativeness) and doesn't naturally fill in all the blanks that can't be heard it is hard to go through the videos.

Something that has occurred to me is that the "psycho-sociological-economic" dynamic of the classroom teaching "form"-itself-sheds light on this philosophical concern with the understanding of forms. If the class was instead a gardening class, and the goal to grow a garden, the "meaning" of the forms would necessarily be taken for granted in order to effectively accomplish the planting of the garden. By observing the philosophy class, and then the gardening class, and then contrasting the "thought exchange" in the philosophy class with the "action exchange" taking place in the gardening class, we may, here, find our answer to the question of the truth about forms. Not in the contemplation of ideas, but in their planting,

This was great. Kind of reminds me of the idea that I can never know what your perception of blue is. We can agree on the colour of all blue objects being blue, and we can agree that the light that reflects into our eyes transmits the same information to our brains, but if was to see through your mind's eye perhaps your brain interprets the information of all colours to be the inverse of how my brain interprets them. Or maybe even your conception of what colour means is so radically different from mine that I wouldn't even recognise what you were thinking. But it's irrelevant because I will never see through your mind's eye, and we have calibrated our thoughts with language such that all our ideas align to avoid confusion even if what we are thinking is different. If anyone knows of any philosophers that touch on that sort of point specifically I'd love to know. I was agreeing with Kant's mind independent lumina as well until Hegel had to come along and ruin it all >:(

According to Plato ( c.428 - c.348bc ), when we are born we fly over the back of heaven and see all these perfect forms, such as a perfect chair and a perfect bed etc, but when we are born we lose this vision, but the one perfect form in heaven as on Earth is love, which gives an inkling of perfect forms in heaven. Unlike materialistic objects which are perceived with the senses forms such as goodness and honesty etc are understood only by reasoning which is why philosophy is so important.

Pretty good for a free lecture xD. I wish more people would watch this, most people just give me blank stares or incredibly poor responses whenever I bring up epistemology (the thought -> world mapping question, Hume, etc.).

[@shelleywinters6763]

good overview of the concepts thank you. It didn't look like they solved the problem of form, they just described it in different ways or dismissed one element over emphasis on another element, which still doesn't solve the problem. I hope there is a continuance to the next attempts. It gave me the idea of nature vs nurture what Plato said. I would have used the example of animals about how they are born with instinctive knowledge, where the food is, mating rituals, other things seem not learned but instinctive. We're animals so we must have some instincts we were born with. I was thinking that our brains have the ability to understand concepts, to see patterns, to learn language constructs. I could see where philosophy broke away from theology ans physics in this lecture as well. The last point scrubs out physics and just keeps philosophy in the realm of thought experiments and perceptions of the real world and how to acurately describe the world in a way we can all agree on.

Fascinating. The Counterfeit Problem parallels the function I used for my Irrationality Principle: that for every True statement that can be made, there are an infinite number of possible True statements whose Truth values conflict with or otherwise contradict the established axioms inherent within any perceived Truth. Where Logic is a function determined by the Emotional content of an argument multiplied by a factor of perceived Authority, absolutely anything can be believed, and it is necessarily impossible to confirm any particular Truths as objective relative to any other consistent set of Truths. My go to example is the split between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, with Relativity inherently implying its own inability to explain certain functions of Quantum Mechanics. Both are highly accurate and valuable Truths, yet their mutual existence contradict each other.

Philosophy may also be said to be the (high level) study of the essential characteristics of the material world around us and then trying to see whether these essential characteristics of matter are sufficient to provide a logical and convincing explanation regarding who we are and what our mind is made of, relating the external features to the anatomy of our body and considering, above all, the essential characteristics of consciousness and the conscious personality.
