I encourage you to read books daily. However, if you’re looking for simplified book analyses, you’ve come to the right place. My channel is dedicated to providing valuable insights for those who love to read but prefer concise, easy-to-understand summaries.
While my videos highlight key sections and relevant points, I always recommend reading the entire book for a deeper understanding.
Expect new content every week, packed with cool and insightful stuff. Stay tuned!
Very cool video! nice use of typography and visual and very nice thumbnail too, got you as a random recommend and very glad I clicked the video! Keep it going man!
That means me, or I am not who I think I am. I am what other people perceive me to be, just ask them and they'll tell you. And probably alot more of it is more accurate than any opinion I might have about who I am.
Kant was wrong. Heidegger and McDowell are right. We perceive things, for the most part and primarily, the way they are. Distortions and mistakes can happen. They are exceptions that prove the rule.
Some unexplained phenomena summon reason, which exposes the noumena of that occurence (the phenomenon at consideration). Eg. We can't see sub atomic particles or xrays but our reason and experimental enquiry revealed the existence of a host of such sub atomic particles and EM radiation. It's interesting how matter (senses) can not itself perceive 'the manifestations of other material things' (i.e phenomena) , but at the same time it can give rise to an abstract entity (consciousness, reason, thinking, etc.) which can grasp the scientific underpinnings of these manifestations. It sort of demands the presence of either a dualistic nature of matter, or presence of matter + something abstract that complements matter (soul or consciousness).
based on this video according to kant on crituque of pure reason, our mind shapes how we perceive reality (phenomena), but it doesn't mean we can change reality itself. the mind organizes our experiences into understandable patterns, but it can't alter the underlying "things-in-themselves" (noumena) that exist independently of our perception. so even though our perception of the world is influenced by our mental structures, the actual things we encounter remain unchanged by our wishes or efforts. actually, you can understand the whole video just by reading the thumbnail. "You don't see things as they are, you see things as you are."
It’s like a pair of sunglasses that filter everything seen through the eyes by dimming the light. The mind is like the pair of sunglasses, except a lot more complex. All our sense experience is placed in an ordered way by the mind.
Good video and explanation. While Nietzsche was certainly a good writer I find his philosophy to be absolutely repugnant. We have seen the logical ends of this individual liberation style of thinking.
I have the book and have barely read it. Thanks to your detailed summary I'm more inclined to read some more. Thank you for putting the complex ideas of Nietzsche into an easy-to-understand manner.
Great video. I don’t know about the assertion that the a priori conditions of experience are fairly described as revolutionary. Maybe they had been forgotten. But let’s not confuse their remembrance with some new theory.
The conscience of good and evil, shared by 95% of humanity, is the Kantian categorical imperative. It is also the Christian Holy Ghost, left to us by Christ as a Comforter pending His Return to bring us back to Paradise. It is discriminating and self-actualizing; we don't need to figure out its justification or mechanics; merely obey it. To assist us in this task, we have the universal prayer Our Father, that Christ taught us. Assuming obedience to these simple and categorical imperatives, neither we as individuals nor our governments need do anything else, study anything else, obey anything else.
I saw something on wikipedia (epistemology): A man sees smoke on the horizon and reasons that there is a fire. The smoke was actually a swarm of flying [animal], but there really was a fire there as well. The question is: did the man know there was a fire? This critique on pure reason is an excellent primer for many kinds of thought. That's why I like this video. It brings to light amazing ideas.
I say that he knew there was a fire, only because you told us that “there is a fire” and that “he reasoned that there is a fire.” And so, the answer is inherent in the question (or rather, the setup for the question). I know what you meant though, sorry for cheating! 😈
@anasalam-gp1wn great question, psychopaths innate traits or environmental factors are still up for debate. Psychopathy appears to have both hereditary and environmental roots, according to research cited by robert d hare in without conscience, studies suggest that psychopaths may have biological propensity due to brain abnormalities and genetic factors. But the formation of psychopathic traits can also be greatly influenced by EARLY experiences and environmental circumstances.
Both I feel it’s mostly conditioning in play apathy and dissociation is big hallmarks of a psychopath like as a child they learn to turn off their emotions. This is why better adjusted psychopaths become surgeons and the like but ones in broken households end up becoming axe murderers.
I had to re-upload this video because I received a copyright strike on the music I used, despite having the proper license. I apologize for any comments that were deleted along with the original video.
I think there are some people who are highly compartmentalized too. They do horrible things in one state of mind or context. And act decent in others. Then there's desensitization. And then there's sociopaths. Who are more obviously messed up rather than emotionally cold.
I worked in the federal prison system in Canada, his work was used to help with the work being done there. Funny how he identifies the warden as a psychopath in his description.
Much appreciated. Dr. Benjamin Hardy does sound extremely interesting, especially with topics such as "Willpower Doesn't Work." I will delve into his works soon for some of the following videos. Stay tuned for brief analyses and some insights from his works.
