“And even what you abstain from weaves at the web of all future humanity; even your nothing is a spider web and a spider that lives off the blood of the future.” Nietzsche’s Zarathustra Support my work here:
Cheer~~~the theory that all knowledge is derived from sense-experience. Stimulated by the rise of experimental science, it developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, expounded in particular by John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume.😊
The word 幽玄 for dark and partly obscured which also means mysterious and profound. In Chinese ‘You Xuan’, In Japanese aesthetics (also 幽玄 ) pronounced ‘Yugen’. A parallel, perhaps, in early medieval Christianity, the concept of (contemplating the) ‘The cloud of unknowing’ comes close ?
By "perfect" I'm guessing you mean corrupt and inundate rational conversation with demagogic "conversation," therefore accelerating the alt right's neuro-typical hegemony (ASPD) over the problematical hegemony of the Enlightenment tradition (ASD)? Loving your work in neuro-sociology and social-engineering! Though I wish you were more clear (I understand the sensitivity of the problem) about the actual dialectic that cybernetics and neuroscience has disclosed. Very clever! 🤭
Modern art is rarely profound or interesting. It does not inspire or elevate the mind because it has no ideal higher than itself. It portrays only the mundane, the basest of human existence. It merely appeals to and expresses the shallow senses. Which by default mirrors the artist conditioned by his environment; a post modern relativism. Post modern art has nothing to say because it lacks a profound transcendent meaning. One that was lost in the Victorian era when man willingly and ignorantly exchanged the Imago Dei for that of an ape. The mundane, the vulgar and the simplistic and the base dominate modern art raising rarely above the sensuous and vulgar. The old and enduring have been discarded. Giving an exacting credence to the notion that man will rise or fall according to the image he has of himself.
The first line of ‘The Republic’ refers to going down: First suggestion of Duality; Implication of teaching; Hope of rescue from the cave? Zarathustra’s going down seems to be a bead on this same thread ?
" Und so sei es denn genug. Das Schicksal, das den Völkern jeden Zuschuß zu ihrer Bildung zumißt, will, denke ich, die Kunst in diesem nördlichen Himmelsstrich noch nicht reifen lassen. Thörigt wäre es wenigstens, wenn ich meine Kräfte länger an ein Werk setzen wollte, das, wie ich mich endlich überzeugen muß, für mich zu schwer ist. Ich trete vor Einem zurück, der noch nicht da ist, und beuge mich, ein Jahrtausend im / Voraus, vor seinem Geiste. Denn in der Reihe der menschlichen Erfindungen ist diejenige, die ich gedacht habe, unfehlbar ein Glied, und es wächst ir gendwoein Stein schon für den, der sie einst ausspricht. " - Heinrich von Kleist schrieb im Oktober 1803 an Ulrike von Kleist.
A lot of ideas from analytical philosophy are still very present in cognitive science and the philosophy of logic. It clearly has evolved in the last hundred years but there is still a huge importance to it, especially regarding the understanding of the fundamentals of AI.
I guess he follows the concept of zizek that only when you know that you are in deep shit the moment of change will emerge. Is quite important to state the level of "lack" we are into
Hello Johannes, Discovered your channel this past week and have been throughly enjoying each and every video. I'm a senior biomedical sciences and philosophy student at UCF. My philosophy senior seminar paper and presentation had eerily similar sentiments and points to those Gottschlich expresses in his paper. Yet, it was called incomprehensible by the professor. I was wondering if you and/or Gottschlich would be interested in reading it? I would love if you guys read it so I could get some actual feedback on it, especially given the lack thereof from my actual professor.
This is neither here nor there, and of course it has to happen organically, but I would like to see a post on Peter Sloterdijk from you at some point. I've only begun to sift his works, but he seems head and shoulders above the French postmodernists (Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida) as someone carrying on the tradition of Nietzsche and Heidegger, and in a way therefore also Kant and Hegel. Globes also has fascinating discussion of the ancients.
Hello ! Johannes, still stimulating the spirits i love the way you offer us to re/discover an other way to fall in love whit the world again. And so much more....Thank You
This was outstanding, and Thomas Jockin is incredible. I cannot imagine a better teacher and guide on the topic of beauty, and I agree that it is an absolutely critical topic today. The fate of beauty is the fate of us.
You sir are a disgrace. Your links are pretty much just "please give me money". "Donate", "buy me a coffee", "listen to a poorly composed lecture for $300"... Bro are you serious?! Who are you? You most likely have a BA in philosophy from some lesser university and now fancy yourself as the modern Kant. Get over yourself and stop begging - literally begging - for money. Shame on you.
the computers are us. until we break from our rational, linear, dry techne' course of human events, it matters little if it's an ai or a programmed human. when we seize on a new human narrative, our reliance on artificiality in all levels of our culture will erode. ... until such a day
Language origin addressed from ideas and entities in the world to the world. Later language forgot its origin and language was addressed to itself Now we are in a second transformation where language is a marginal tool that not address anything usefull because the usefull is storaged on the Internet so aniquilation of sense of ideas of thinking and language is in process. The reason why that happens I leave here to discuss to anyone who want it
@@JohannesNiederhauser I didn't say join the amish. Amish are a very strict religious sect. I'm saying let's restore a more clean life. technologies such as the smart phones and TVs with all its accessory phenomena and dilemmas didn't make our life mentally and physically easier. I'm struggling every week to detox my brain-dopamine habits. without what these new technologies offer us every single hour, I would read more, think clearer, live happier, enjoy slower, learn more effectively, and observe the reality with more focus. I wish I was born in another era:(.
@@Sunshine99283 I said join the Amish because that is basically what you want - just without the religion. You cannot be born in a different age. That’s a reactionary stance. You are born now and into the future.
@@JohannesNiederhauser I can see that Age is our choices and deeds collectively viewed. and if my stance is a reactionary one, then each longing to our lost paradises.. each will to choose a past right over a present mistake is a reactionary act unfortunately.
@@JohannesNiederhauser by the way amish lifestyle is very harsh.. 0 technology..while 1880-1905 time has many technologies (in a benign level) where they can make life easier without corrupting it in deep. for example amish can't have electricity, while 19th century man used it. etc.
Definitely worth the listen - much appreciated! I don’t think there’s any less thought happening with AI than without. Those who are led by the nose by AI probably weren’t thinking much to begin with. For my part, I ask AI agents to find things for me in large masses of material: to find things that are similar to a particular idea in all of St Augustine’s works. That would take a research assistant an entire semester perhaps. AI is wonderful for that. Should I have it translate Heidegger? No, of course not. But if I want to know more about his use of a particular word and to suggest bits from his oeuvre that I should read to help my understanding about that word - now that’s useful. You can probably tell that I want an AI research assistant 😂… good stuff my friend. I’m glad I found your channel. We do somewhat similar things it seems, though I focus a lot more on Meister Eckhart since he’s my main interest
