Capitalism's Weirdest Fanboy
Karl Marx is the most (in)famous critic of Capitalism. Or is he? As with all stories, it's not so simple. Marx isn't a reactionary dreaming of a tribal communal paradise but more of a sci-fi visionary looking to the society that will transcend Capitalism using its foundation as a jumping off point to a much more interesting, much better world.

Our Tragic Hero - the Mistborn Jordan Peterson
Просмотров 11 тыс.21 день назад
Following on from the last episode on Jordan Peterson's brilliant 2005 essay on "Peacemaking" this time we look at what went wrong and at JBP's arc as that of the classical tragic hero. And having a bit of fun with this we compare him to the villain in one of my favourite fantasy series Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. We look at Aristotle's definition of tragedy, and at mapovers between Peterson...
Jordan Peterson's Bizarre (and Brilliant) Manifesto
Просмотров 10 тыс.Месяц назад
In 2005, long before he became a household name, Jordan Peterson wrote an article with the title "Peacemaking Among Higher Order Primates" and it is amazing - partly for its own beauty and pathos and partly for the contract it provides with The Daily Wire Peterson we have today. It is a brilliant ode to what peace looks like and how it might be achieved and a stark reminder of the potential pit...
The Edge of the Inside - How to Change the Superstructure

Why it Matters is back (kind of). This video revisits the Prophet archetype with a bit more passion and a little less bookishness. It is great to have the previous video as a foundation but as with the old Why it Matters videos the point of this video is to get into why I care so much about this topic and why I think you should as well. We're going to be looking at the Prophet through the lens ...
Subconscious vs. Unconscious

In approaching the underworld there are a couple of terms that people use. Sometimes it can get a bit confusing who's using what and what we should be using. In this episode we look at the term subconscious vs unconscious and what the meaning and background is of each. As we'll see it wasn't always so clear cut - the French psychological heritage from Pierre Janet started with one term then wit...
Reality vs Archetype - The Two Types of Romcom

In this palette cleanser we are going to talk about the philosophy of romcoms for a change. I reckon this should remove any accusations of important work being done on The Living Philosophy. We'll be looking at two romcoms - the classic Norah Ephron When Harry Met Sally and the lesser known Just Like Heaven starring Reese Wetherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. One is reflective of a type of art that str...

The Lost Art of Leisure
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 месяца назад
We modern serfs have forgotten something: we've forgotten how to live. You don't question the meaning of life when leisure is the heart of life rather than work. But with the rise of modern urban life, the intrinsic mode of living has died at the hands of the instrumental mode of life. Our entire lives have been colonised by "utility". We don't relax or rest for their own sake anymore - now we ...

The Prophet - the Archetype of Societal Renaissance
Просмотров 5 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Before the Axial Age the religious archetypes were those of the Priest and the Magician. But with the increased complexity and evolution of society a new archetype emerged: that of the Prophet. This is the archetype of liminal transformation in the midst of a society paralysed by its own success. The Prophet comes in from the edge of inside and shows the society where it has lost its way. 📚 Fur...
Justice vs. Vengeance - Is There a Difference?
Просмотров 9 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Philosopher and anthropologist Rene Girard once described justice and public vengeance. Nietzsche expressed the same in his Genealogy of Morals. Why then do we value justice so highly and look down so judgingly on revenge? And what, if this is true, is the purpose of justice? How is it in any way different from vengeance? The answer is that it is profoundly different and in this video we explor...
Is Equality the Enemy?

Would you rather live in a better world or a happier one? In this video we are going to explore how equality has made the world a better place but also how, like the Edenic apple of knowledge, it has come with a cost. The world looks better from the outside but seen from the subjective side it seems that things have only gotten worse. This is following up on the recent episode on Nietzsche's co...

For Nietzsche The Last Man stood as the opposite of the Ubermensch and the great danger of the "levelling" tendency of modernity.

We look at The Last Man in 21st century society and what Nietzsche got right even while we should be cautious of fully embracing his ideal. 📚 Further R...

    Good video. I hear a lot of ideas in this video about the mode of tackling large scale problems that the metamodernist perspective entails, but I hear no epistemic justification for it. It sounds like a completely pragmatic endeavor, that's not really about ascertaining what's true, but rather pretend things like, grand narratives, to be true. But who decides this, and how? Who are the agents acting in the metamodernist mode, and how do they epistemically justify this position? Statisticians, using data? Or philosophers? With the increasingly fracture in epistemic fields together combined with ever growing sets of data, how would a dialogue work out, considering that philosophers cannot possibly be an epistemic agent in a general sense today, but rather must be specialized in certain fields; so to create this metamodernist synthesis (if I understand the mode correctly), there must be a communication between these different epistemic fields. Maybe AI will become a crucial tool for this type of work. Maybe there will be need for a category of synthesizing philosophers (a synthesis of statistician and philosopher!) Here are two other questions. -Does the metamodernist bring back Telos into the world? Not as a metaphysical presupposition but rather a pragmatic. -What about the big religious societies that absolutely not would agree that humanity as a whole is going through a meaning crisis, but would rather point out that sections of it might do?

    Both the Bhagavadgita and Oppenheimer must be understood through the pre-historic elites; the bloodlines of Ouroboros. They consist of two factions, the global Feudal Trinity which Hindu scriptures call the Naga Serpent led Alliance who have a main affiliation to Pleiades, and their nemesis the Rakshasa reptilian hybrids that Hindus called the Rakshasa with genealogical root on Aldebaran in Constellation Taurus. The latter are our miners, crafts and tradesmen who later became the Mercantilist/Liberals and who the bankers used as a front. The bankers are the occult Venetian Black Nobility who Jordan Maxwell have shown previously were the Phoenecians, meaning "merchant banker". Greta is Illuminati of the Rakshasa cast and her mother, actress Malena Ernman, exclaimed, "everyone sells their Soul to the Devil at some point." * vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/the-elite-machine-behind-greta-thunberg/ Vigilant Citizen is specialized on semiotics, primarily in pop culture and the high coture fashion scene (a playground of Illuminati) but also within the news. Seriously recommend you read about your favourite films and music vids there. Note that Oppenheimer made a fact statement and that we don't perceive the value judgement, but knowing he was a Talmudist/Kabbalist one understands he actually bragged about being "the destroyer of worlds." Ouroboros' bloodlines are escatological Millenarians and who Fredric Jameson has observed constitute the arts crowd doing "masonic handshakes/signals". We're waking up and by the year constitute an ever bigger threat against Oroboros' bloodlines who's existence demands they send the world into global cataclysm. See only how little empoverished Yemen not only beat the GCC+Egypt+Morocco+USA in the 2015-2023 Yemen War but now has bombed Eilat several times and chased NATO away.

    Marx was an exceedingly delusional ultraviolent psychopathic narcissist who, like his hero Mephistopheles, essentially wanted to destroy the world... His favorite line from Goethe's Faust was "Everything that exists deserves to perish". And like every other die hard socialist I have ever known, he was utterly economically illiterate. If you want to study real economics, research Austrian school laissez faire market capitalism, and then you will get some idea about exactly how delusional he truly was.

By the age of 60 its too late, a man at 60 will become swallowed by the collective spirit and lose his way to the paths in the unconscious, Witness Judas who turned on Yeshau,, He did ZERO inner work in his 28 yrs od life. WE live in very dangerous times, Inner work has to begin at age 25. If not the shadow has grown so big at age 60 ones life has been all shadow. = Just best keep kicking the can down the road.

    In the middle of reading some of Erich Neumann’s work. His insight into the Ouroboros archetype and the struggle to burst free from the pleromatic forces of the Great Mother have had me thinking about the great fight of life-the struggle for consciousness. We have to kick back against regressing into a state without pleasure and pain lest we lose ourselves. This is clearly depicted in the Last Man. There’s an interesting storyline in the Scavengers Reign animation on Max right now that really embodies the matter too.

  • @Cubehead27

    Yes and no. It's true he considered communism to be a definitively post-industrial idea, and therefore something which grew out of and transcended capitalism's material advances, but that's a bit different from him viewing communism as an extension of capitalism, or "loving" capitalism in your terms - for him capitalism was still fundamentally exploitative and therefore a basic threat to human freedom, which was generally his main priority. (We are talking, after all, about the thinker responsible for the best known expression of the labour theory of value and the idea of industrial alienation). Note also that "communism" isn't a Marxist term in origin as implied here - there was already a fully-formed communist movement by the time he became influential. Anyway none of this is to say that this isn't effective rhetoric for getting people interested in him (frankly I don't know whether it is or not, but if it is that's definitely a good thing). Likewise we of course don't need to follow Marx blindly. Bookchin's ideas are, I think, much more relevant and applicable to our contemporary context so for those not already familiar with him, look him up.

    How about this. Yes, we are all living in a simulation. A simulation each of us creates in our mind. You could say that the mind is a best guess generator, the result being what we perceive from second to second. Cues from the present are melded together with experience from the past, that is the simulation input. Also what we are looking for in a situation also has its effects. My guess is that there is some slight variance between people in this process.
