What Is a Good Life?: Crash Course Philosophy #46

A good life is a life where Crash Course Philosophy is ongoing.

[@SalamanderMagic]

Thank you. I'm 12 years old and this series on philosophy has impacted my life in so many ways. It has sparked an interest within me for self improvement and evaluation, as well as educated me on the different perspectives that people possess. These videos have introduced me to a fascinating topic that I now love. So thanks. Thanks for encouraging me to ask "Why?" at such a young age. Now I will be constantly learning of, questioning, and improving my beliefs for the rest of my life.

[@Carlos-fb6bv]

I can't believe it's the last episode of CC Philosophy! Sad to see it go, but excited to see what Hank and the CC team works on next! CrashCourse has succeeded on making learning fun (so many of us are upset that an educational video series is ending, who would've thought that), and understandable. I thank you for that. Also ironic when talking about death comes the end of the series :/

[@iamnothedwig]

KingInfinity I really hope Hank does the geography series that they tried to start. It's amazing that those episodes didn't get good reposes and they decided to take it down and postpone it till they can do it better, but I really hope Hank does them. It would be brilliant.

[@andresmartinezramos7513]

i am not hedwig For all I love about CC, they messed up with the first 2 episodes and because of it I left feedback (rewrite this mess).

Andrés The Royal Marine if you're saying my comment is a mess and needs to be rewritten, I know lol I'm exhausted so I didn't word it properly. If you're saying the geography series was a mess and needs to be rewritten, you're absolutely right. I hope they rewrite it and I believe Hank would be the best host to present it.

Great way to end the series. Philosophy is not for university professors but for anyone and everyone. Thanks for the great show.

[@collinhuneke]

Couldn't agree more

[@Theo_Caro]

As a philosophy student at university, there is so much depth to the subject that a layperson just couldn't even scratch the surface of. The academic study of philosophy is most assuredly needed.

[@MakeMeThinkAgain]

I've been studying philosophy for 47 years now and most of what I've learned was after I left university.

[@ryadh456]

My favourite also!

[@thoughtsofsteve8655]

In the end, I submit to Existentialism. We are the only ones who truly determine what matters most in our lives. Do drugs and food and a cozy bed mean the most to you, or do thoughts and actions that change the world mean more? It's up to you to decide because, at the end of the day, you are the one who has to live with yourself. Thank you CrashCourse Philosophy, I know I'll miss you!

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

I'd say I'm an Aristotelian Existentialist. While I understand that for each individual, they find their own path, the one I find to be the most fulfilling is that seeking to better myself through relentless curiosity and virtue development.

[@bjorntheviking6039]

I prefer acceptance of the Absurd rather than a deliberate effort to find/create meaning in life. Every time I've tried to find meaning I've always ended up confronting the lack of inherent meaning to existence and all my attempts to manufacture meaning always end up even more ridiculous than having no purpose at all, so I just live in spite of the Absurd rather than try to paint it over with religion and/or fabricated meaning.

[@stoplight2554]

same here!

[@stoplight2554]

(response to twenty seventh letter)

[@katethegreat4918]

Here's the problem with existentialism: If we give our lives their meaning and value, someone who is a murderer, a rapist, narcissistic, etc, can have as good of a life as someone who brings joy to others, creates beautiful art for the world to enjoy, gives to the poor, teaches children, etc.

[@bryn5238]

[@thisismyname5418]

Yeah kind of. Roy machine lets you experience a Lifetime as Roy, and all that in a second. While on the other hand, in the other machine time moves the same as in real Life.

[@superpie2themax]

Roy Machine is possibly the most powerful technology used for a frivolous purpose yet proposed in Science Fantasy. You run through a simulation of literal DECADES of experience in less than a day, and retain at least some of those memories upon exit. It's like if Groundhog Day was the rest of the character's life and he reset to that day upon death. You could use that to master any skill, become an expert in any field, gain several lifetimes of wisdom and empathy, and do so in a day. Roy machine as a video game is like using a steam engine for an art display and nothing else, but so much more.

Rayyana Sherif Same. But I'm a 13 year old Catholic

[@Opravdu]

Good for you, whatever answer you come to is right for you, but be proud you have the desire to ask 'why'. I grew up asking 'why' and doing so I created my own morals. I left Catholicism from a Catholic family after growing up and realizing most of the people around me who promoted the religion (or religion in general) were intolerant of others, and against the morals I had developed. Plus trust me if you step back and look at religion and the texts from an objective standpoint, they all sound really silly, even childish. I would still consider myself a spiritual person however, but don't be afraid that your life will change because of questioning, seeking our answers will make you feel more fulfilled.

[@pelonp3691]

Opravdu religion is going to be silly if you view it scientifically, atheists and theists are guilty of this. But if you view religious stories as just stories, there is a lot of value you can find in them. Check out Jordan Peterson

[@trinejuel8268]

I want to continue this journey into the world of philosophy - so are looking for any books, lectures or/and documentaries on the subject, any requests ?

[@GuerillaBunny]

Look into Buddhism. Ignore the spiritual side if you like (I did, though it was interesting for non-philosophical reasons), but it's a pretty different (and therefore enlightening, pun partially intended) way of looking at life and meaning from the one we're used to. Listening to Alan Watts has been helpful to me. Also, watch Star Trek (TNG might be the best one for philosophy), Battlestar Galactica (the 2004 series), Babylon 5 (if you can bear the slow, albeit important, 1st season and dated CGI) and just sci-fi in general. A lot of it is philosophy in an entertaining, though not always uplifting, and approachable package!

[@GuerillaBunny]

Oh, and Theramin Trees and Qualia Soup. A lot of their content deals with religion, but can be viewed in a more general context. Also, I'd recommend looking at Anthony Magnabosco's Street Epistemology (it's based on Peter Boghossian's book, but I get a rather schmucky vibe from Boghossian himself) channel. It's a very good resource for understanding how to examine and question beliefs.

[@stormelemental13]

I'd recommend starting here: www.thegreatcoursesplus.com. Do the month trial, see if any of the offerings in their philosophy section are what you are looking for, and go from there. Other Great Courses series can be found.... around, if funds are an issue.

[@tarad4162]

I would definitely like to hear some recommendations as well!

[@shdhfgrtdych360]

Books: Leviathan-Thomas Hobbes (Political philosophy) Meditations on First Philosophy-Rene Descartes (Metaphysics) Tractatus Logico Philosophicus-Ludwig Wittgenstein (Philosophy of language and logic) Critique of Pure Reason-Immanuel Kant (Epistemology) Principia Mathematica-Bertrand Russel (Philosophy of mathematics and logic) Ethics-Spinoza (Metaphysics and Metaethics) The Wealth of Nations-Adam Smith (Philosophy of economics) These are all books that have immensely shaped philosophy and the world. For those looking for a real philosophical challenge, check out the books involving logic. Those books have influenced the likes of Alan Turing, the father of computer science. Indeed philosophy is the mother of every scientific subject. Crash Course did an amazing job showing us the power of philosophy so go read more about it and be sure to discuss it with other people, even if they aren't philosophy majors or professors! A lot of people have thought about many philosophical issues, even if they don't know the philosophical terms to describe it

What I've learned about Philosophy. There is no right or wrong answer, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Philosophy is a way of getting people to think about things that no one will ever get the answer to.

[@Littlemanloki]

But isn't that part of the inherent beauty of confronting ideas and questions that seemingly (or thus far) have no answer? And all the disagreements (so long as people don't resort to childish and immature tactics to challenge someone else's argument)? Could you imagine how boring of a world this would have been, if everyone agreed on the exact same things, where there were no deviation from the "norm" and "accepted" answers and ideologies?

Crash course religion? There's so many dif religions why not?

[@Chronically_ChiII]

Over 4200 different religions. And only one is supposed to be true...

[@TheRachaelLefler]

Perhaps they all contain some truth.

[@pupnoomann7866]

Perhaps none of them do.

[@Chronically_ChiII]

62 67 Perhaps the truth some of them contain (in a moral sense) is not because they are inherently divine, but because the people who wrote them did so to create law in their tribal/barbaric society and had _some_ basic knowledge of what was good or bad for a society. For example, the golden rule is not good *because* Jesus said it, it is good *therefor* Jesus said it. (if he ever actually did).

i see you're a girl of culture :)

[@deniseglines1705]

Wow, a philosophy course at age 50 is a lot easier to take in than when I was 20... :) Excellently done.

[@theparadoxier]

However detached I may have learned to be, while going through this series, I can't just not have any attachments to it. It's been a total 8+ hours and yet it's more than anything I've learned about life from any people, art works, movies or serials. Thank you CC Philosophy, Hank and John! Hoping for a second season! (I believe there's still a LOT more that can be discussed under the umbrella of philosophy. There can even be some of the areas of philosophy, discussed here, expanded into series of their own.)

[@ChrisBrooks34]

It's sad for this to end so now I must rewatch every episode. This helped me to get an intro the various schools of thought and which ones interest me the most. Thank You Crash Course Philosophy

[@qazhr]

Ok what are the next series because all we have left is physic but it may be near the end.

[@thelonelydirector]

Physics has 6 episodes left. Crash Course Sociology will be starting in a couple weeks, Crash Course Film History in a couple months. Computer Science and Mythology are just around the corner as well :) It's gonna be a great year!

[@crashcourse]

Lots of cool things are coming! Computer Science, Sociology, Film, and Mythology have all started production and we're really excited to share it all with you.

[@qazhr]

CrashCourse thank you I been wanting film and computer science

[@davylyntravylyn4464]

Are you still going to do human geography, or is that incorporated into sociology?

[@dylancaleb4169]

CrashCourse Cant wait, we all love what you guys do!

[@gamemaker1234]

Isn't absurdism separate from exesstentialism? Doesn't absurdism argue that one has to accept that there is no meaning to life while exesstentialism tell us that we need to find meaning in our meaningless life?

[@businessboy1000]

Wigglly Wagger Yes, basically. Sartre and Camus were always surprised to see them both labeled as Existentialists. Camus wants us to embrace the Absurd, to accept the search for answers in an answerless Universe.

[@punkhop23]

Wigglly Wagger yeah, as my lord and savior spake "it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything".

[@businessboy1000]

punkhop23 Durden approves

[@SillyGooseSam]

You're right, Wigglly. Camus also strongly rejected the label of "existentialism," as well. I'm definitely an absurdist!

[@istreamkerala1]

Thank you so much Mr Hank.. It's just last week I got to know you.. The two years I'd been fascinated by philosophy though I'm a student of Medicine.. And finding you here was my most delightful privilege.. Thank you so much.. I did a Wikipedia search about you and came to know about that Hodgkin's arrival.. For such a short acquaintance that I have with you, the feeling I had at that time was quite overwhelming, especially the video you did revealing the diagnosis... For someone with a lot of philosophical knowledge, I wondered how you exactly felt. A lot of people change their entire worldview upon being diagnosed with a Ca.. A philosopher like you.. I wish I could talk to you in person about it. I knew I couldn't, so I prayed for you.. For your guidance and goodness. From the other side of the world I can do only that much, and thank you...! Lots of love ❤

[@liwendiamond9223]

When you go into the experience machine, do you have to yell "LINK START!"? Also yes I would spent the rest of my life in there under the condition that we get multiplayer, because with multiplayer, these experiences and relationship become real! I'll give you .1sec to guess which anime I've been watching lately...

[@jagawanakimi]

I'm so sad that this is the last episode of Crash Course Philosophy. 😭

[@humanity3.090]

I kinda am too. But then again, as mentioned by the video. It doesn't have to be the end of philosophy. ;)

[@maxybaer123]

i hope theres a season 2 hank said this was his favorite

[@danielpetersen8329]

Thanks Crash Course, thoroughly enjoyed the whole series!

[@Norimarisu]

Me perdí. What is a good life? Question, learn, avoid pain, enjoy, feel good about doing good? Must we contribute to society to be able to remembered as having a good life? If I didn't have a social media presence am I even relevant i the 21st century?

[@savvazaytsev8861]

Is it juts me or does it look like he cried before this episode?

[@liawatson5789]

SAVVA Zaytsev 😂

[@davidaIano]

Plot twist: Hank cries before every episode.

[@b1g_m00n]

This was a pretty tough year for me mentally and I this playlist has helped me keeping a hold of myself. Thanks, Hank, for being who you are and doing what you do earnestly. And thanks, Crash Course team, for making it all look so great. I now want to go out and read all of the philosophy.

[@TheMadhouseOfficial]

If I didn't love Crash Course already, the fact that you consider Terry Pratchett to be a proper philosopher would do it for me. This makes me very happy.

[@HappyFacade]

Mega Absol but if everyone is a philosopher, doesn't that take away the whole point of defining what a 'philosopher' is in the first place

[@PSWeather19]

First!

[@lacasa8640]

I'm so upset this is the last philosophy episode! These have been my favorite.

[@dinohall2595]

Am I the only one who got goosebumps during the last 3 minutes of this video?

[@Yuki-rh1ie]

thank you crashcourse! you have no idea what butterfly effect you've created with your efforts of educating us. you've changed lives. thank you so much! we will never forget you. you'll be remembered among the best teachers ever, the most noble of human lives.

[@HachBoxe]

It's been a wild ride Crash Course, this will forever be my favorite series from you all. Thank you for that!

[@PoorlyMadeArt]

A short one.

[@acasoimporta_2729]

Quality of life is EVERYTHING. The rest will come by itself. Beijos from Brazil!

[@ulysses5340]

I have finished the series twice now. Thank you very much for doing such an amazing course of education. That's an example of the meaning of life that you gave to the world.

[@Salmanul_]

I mean, thinking rationally, in turn, helps you make better choices and be well informed, leading you to be knowledgable enough to make your own meaning for your life?

[@nikkivalery4247]

i'm so sad this is the last episode :(

[@yaumelepire6310]

... Yes... we know... Chom-Choms...

[@andreagarza4969]

A beautiful series that introduced me to philosophy and made me see it as something personal and worthwhile - thank you ❤

[@rishavdiyali5193]

Many of us binge watch series on Netflix and other streaming sites. Am I wrong to believe that if only even half of the netizens binge watch this Philosophy Series we would have a much better world? Anyway Thank You Crash Course. It was an amazing playlist. It really felt like knowledge and not like some random trivia which is so rampant in KZbin. The fact that this is all free is unbelievable and reminds me of the principles on which Internet started. Your series are helping to raise the consciousness of the whole world. 🙏 (17 yo, Darjeeling, India) P.S pointing out my address to let you know how impactful your videos are. Hehe

[@Polack21]

6:32 What does that tell us? It tells us one of them is wrong.

[@leia3830]

Loved this series. Thanks so much for making it. I'm going to apply for a philosophy course next semester and this has really affirmed my decision. Always looking forward to more crash course videos!!

[@thasyashetty3797]

How's it been

[@DarthBiomech]

"Experience machine" sounds like a perfect education and safe practice tool.

[@Johnmugabe2]

Ugh so many wise words. Nice work, Hank! But it's your time to retire. See you on the next series (or maybe not). We'll miss your voice :(

[@mentalbiteske]

I'm from Africa (Kenya to be specific) where philosophy is not much taught or considered as a relevant topic/course......but from the study from this crush course experience 🔥🔥,.......I am ready for life and everything it throws at me........I wish I found this information earlier but fate chose this time......thank you Hank Green🤘🤘 and your team for every Crash Course lesson taught and the great eye opening experience.......I'm gonna enjoy chum chums🍌🍌 as I embark on this journey of wisdom the rest of my days......Peace✌✌

[@diobrando8979]

Thank you. This course has changed my life. Now i'm going to dive deeper into some of these topics and also start the psychology course. Thanks for making the internet way better with this kind of content.

[@shaylempert9994]

Thank you for this wonderful show! It's actually your first show that I have seen more than 20 episodes of. About the topic of the video : I think that as in many cases - people confuse two different things as the same thing. We are actually asked many questions, and a final comparing question. we are asked "how does a good life look - viewed from person x's perspective", and "how does a good life look - viewed from your perspective", and which perspective is correct. but remember - GOOD is relativistic by its nature, so asking about "which one of different perspectives of good - is correct", is not valid. Good is a value given by a cause to work for or against. Different people value different causes, so a "goodness" of a thing depends on the person that we ask. For conclusion, if someone thinks that his or someone's(and the opposite) life is good/bad - they are both correct.

[@akashalihazarika4690]

I just realised I have been practicing philosophy for so long without ever realising it.

[@yeezychicken3930]

SAME

[@mulan10003]

I just found this course a couple of days ago. You opened my horizons in a way never before. You are the best philosophy teacher I have seen. Thank you !!!!!!!!

[@Cthulhus_Mum]

I'd plug into the experience machine for an hour or two a week :) I don't think many people would waste their whole lives there, but I suspect more people would go "A safe way to experience skydiving? Hells yeah!" (or whatever experience you've wanted but been unable to do for reasons of budget or any other constraint) than not...

[@Bamskki]

I'm an engineering student and I'm very much into online courses yet I never completed watching all the lectures from any of them before except this one. You will be missed CC Philosophy :'(
