Why is it a privilege? He wants to spread his works and is choosing social media as a means. This can be called smart since books and papers are expensive despite the industrial mass production of academic papers, since first the US and then the Bologna process has commodified academia. Some people like Moeller and Nick Zentner may have as love for their discipline, which is reason enough.

In the era of sincerity, "shameless" was considered an insult; under authenticity, "remorseless" is an insult. I wonder if under profilicity, "cringeless" will become an insult. Because I consider myself completely cringeless. 😂
@isardamov
@isardamov Месяц назад
Connecting "cringe" to "profilicity" seems quite insightful. As emotional reactions, shame, guilt, and cringe must all involve some sort of interoceptive response. It would be interesting to untangle varieties of the latter...

What most surprised me in his analysis, is that now with profilicity, shame and guilt are removed and give way to cringe as a clear sign of our post-authentic era. We don't feel anymore(authentically), we only feel in a way one does when he is being seen.

You've just reminded me that the same concept exists in Scotland. The Scottish Cringe was mainly associated with people who adapted their accents and behaviours to seem more acceptable to the larger English population, mainly to be able to fit in with the business/media/political world. It viewed Scottishness as parochial and fundamentally unserious, and to make it, you had to rid yourself of your upbringing, dialect and behaviours. Notably, Australia has "Tall Poppy Syndrome", which is something else Scotland shares, as I grew up hearing about it, in relation to Scottish celebrities, mainly, but it's exactly the same usage. Their is less emphasis on Scottish Cringe now, but it still exists. (Alec Salmond has always made me cringe, in reflection of how parochial and unstatesman like I've always found him, but others mileage may vary.) I don't know how far back this goes, but Scottish Cringe was certainly very prevalent in the 80's/90's, and is worse the further back you go.

I was amazed by looking at the channel of the Vietnamese woman Uyen Ninh showing with the short «How I changed since I lived in Germany» the concept of identity is looking from her standpoint as an adaptation to fit into a society, making the constructed identity falling apart by living in another country. Identity as such has a function not for the person itself but for the relationship to other humans in society. Thus identity is a political category. The whole concept of Profilicity is dependent on the definition of identity in the American sense as part of a modern citoyen with a blind affirmation of a modern society with its atomized humans. It's no surprise the author is declaring democracy in the act of observing an artist in his book about Profilicity . This part of Philosophy is naturalizing concepts of society and is so becoming totalitarian. A remark about cringe. The meaning of the terms like cringe, Karen and facepalm is floating all the time. From a linguistic point of view a language is changing continuously. The masses of cognates in languages are showing the idea of a static language even over a short time span doesn't exists. And yet philosophy insists on the concept of a static language which is a dismissal of human creativity.

This reminds me of seroius conversations on kitsch I ran across long ago - a certain pride and finding beauty in the predictable and items appealing to nostalgia rather than a creative purpose - a kind of anti-art. Cringe is broad, but essentially a kind of anti-real, a loop.of the authentic and inauthentic, people doing things either conscoously or unconsciously that dont fit the observers world and to be called out as such, worst case being well-worn boomer notions presented as overwhelmingly important to a generation that doesnt care, or a person who does something intrinsically stupid or predictable while presenting it as original and interesting. As often as not, someone trying to sell themselves and their ideas too hard.

Great video as always. I recently had a situation similar to the one pewdiepie and his wife had, where something that was actually rather "cool" for me, was absolutely "cringe" for my friend. And to answer your question: The only thing that was cringeworthy was the question itself - as I don't think that you actually "care" about what or if you were cringe. Much like the actors in the "taking responsibility" video, the lack of authenthicity made this moment cringe. (Or at least that's what I'm thinking)

in Spanish-speaking countries we have "vergüenza ajena". Wikipedia's article on 'Vicarious embarrassment' puts it as synonym with 'Fremdschämen' and also with "Spanish shame". Perhaps the popularization of 'cringe' has something to do with the 'latinization' of global culture (just like with reggaeton-trap music)?

Great video as always! I have recently started a RU-vid channel myself, and its fascinating to experience it from the inside. I imagine many of your insights on prolificity comes from that experience. For instance, I notice that I value praise from random people more than from my friends. This is of course I see them as more objective and doesn't feel obliged to give me praise. Also, the amount of statistics youtube gives for each video, with live updating viewer numbers etc is quite stressful and I notice my mood follows the views-graph which obviously isnt good.

hard to believe that I have more to say on top of a 23 minute video. One thing - I think cringe is often a word people use to hide anger. When people are angry at another person's misbehaviors, sometimes they say that they cringe. Some people use "sadness" in the same way. Definitely not always happening with cringe. But I think we have an "anger epidemic" in the USA these days, maybe in the rest of the world, to a lesser extent. And I think that the anger epidemic actually contributes to the cringe epidemic.

Regarding Jordan Peterson, I think it is great that you mention him. Even though he is Canadian, I'd agree that he represents the standard moral philosophy of the USA and actually the entire English-speaking world quite well. And indeed, his opinions is quite similar in the USA, Canada, and anywhere else in the English-speaking world, with just tiny variations. In addition, the difference between most conservatives and liberals in the Anglophone world is not so great when you understand the full-range of moral thought; the differences are usually related to political wedge issues that conservatives hold mainly because they are grudges, the phenomenon of some people flat-out "liking" religious life, people taking oppositional stances to other ethnic/regional groups due to deep grudges from the past, etc. The difference in outcome of the USA vs. other Anglophone countries is not the moral framework. That's why JBP can be so popular to American audiences. Likely the difference has more to do with various events of enormous social turmoil in the USA, since the enormous turmoil in the history of the USA created a society at-war with itself, which is a rather unique situation (maybe only the Russian world has a similar situation), and it creates a feedback loop of distrust and un-cooperation that leads to a lot of major social/legal/cultural differences when compared to countries with less turmoil and more unity in their history.

Two comments: 1. What you didn't mention is that cringe at the same time is a community identity-building phenomenon. If a group of people share a profile (as in profilocity), they will cringe at the same thing at the same time. For example - In the social situation in real life, if you have ever been part of a cringe worthy moment, you know how the people who share the same identity will look each other in the eye to confirm they all share this feeling and condemn the person who is the source of cringe. On the a social media plane, for example, it may occur as a meme that is posted on a small Instagram profile that is only viewed by the community that shares that identity (such insta profile usually talks and creates content around their shared profile) . I think the source of this communal aspect is what you said about the ever-changing nature of profiles and identity based on profiles in a profilocity-based society. Cringe is needed to constantly update the boundaries of the profile through opposition. Together we are what we cringe at. 2. This is more of an anecdote, but in one of the social groups of people who are 10-20 years younger than me, let's say 20-20-something, who use cringe and feel cringe a lot, there is a notion of rejecting cringe or even embracing cringe. My observation is that it's because cringe is a form of shaming (an idea in itself, that younger generation rejects) what is cringe for one identity profile is something positive in another identity profile. So, because identity in proficity is an amalgamation of many profiles, too much cringe in a community discourages individuals from expressing themselves through other profiles that are not the profile that binds the community, what are important to the identity of individuals within the community.

The fact that the word ‘cringe’ has taken on a colloquial status shouldn’t be taken to mean that it’s at all ‘new’. The idea of being embarrassed *for* someone else, which is essentially what ‘cringe’ has always meant, is not at all new (comedy in the early 00s, such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, and Peep Show were all examples of cringe-based comedy).

Cringe is still heavily dependent on the subjective viewpoint of a person's learned-prejudice that he/she grew-up with.

I think that "cringe" is best described as a sort of social or cultural "gag reflex". It is a visceral sensation, not simply an idea. The etiquette that is breached is more than social norms or fashion.....it has to do with witnessing a mind utterly loosing the plot. While you are correct that the plot itself is shifting, cringe is a somatic indicator that one is dexterous enough to keep up. Perhaps the quick switch culture seems like evidence of neurosis, and "cringe" might be reduced to a term like "fashion". I tend to think that is more essential than that.....not the particular things that are or are not cringe worthy, but the quick switch collective mind experience. On some level, keeping up with these invisible and ineffable fashions is a way to signal a dexterous mind.

all I know is, I’m exhausted with everyone’s seeming obsession with cringe and how quick so many people are to want to call cringe on something. Your video makes a good case for how inescapable it is, so can we all just please move on already? I find it kinda gross how young people are actually training each other on it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every generation has had its own ways of being judgmental. Older generations did it, and future ones will too. It's kinda an inevitable part of social living. What is considered cringe will change, and perhaps even new words for it will be coined. But the social phenomenon itself will never go away.

Cringe occurs when an obvious attempt at image (profile) curation fails. It takes place in the gap between the perception the actor is hoping to inspire in the observer, and the actual reaction of the observers. Rife with the possibility of invoking cringe-response are attempts to embrace a moral position without convincing the viewer of your sincerity; also attempts to appear "cool" that betray their derivative nature (imitating a celebrity for example). Any communication that is weighted more heavily towards the image of the protagonist, as opposed to real information exchange that would benefit the viewer/hearer, opens itself to a cringe-response. Simple incongruity can stimulate cringe if the attempt falls below a certain irony value. An attempt to appear worldly-wise or enlightened can collapse into cringe response if you fail to integrate it sufficiently (smoothly) into your profile. Humor that is insufficiently "post-authenticity" will also generate cringe-reflex. Old-world sincerity, latitudinarianism, or implicit moral elevations are also quite vulnerable. Hypocrisy is an age-old pitfall that can easily become cringe (see the "Imagine" lyrics read by wealthy celebrities for a great example). TL; DR: Cringe-response is a reflex provoked by profile curation failure, dependent to some extent on the audience receiving the message; the risk of provoking a cringe-response is higher when performed in front of younger people. Cringe is a product of the hive-mind, a social control measure, and a gatekeeping tool to limit entry into an at least semi-defined sub-culture.

I think Gamergate and "liberals getting owned" compilation videos are relevant here in other examples of cringe being utilized at a large scale. great video! the cadence of your speech is slightly cringy, maybe set it to 1.5 speed and put some dangling keys or "Subway Surfers" gameplay on the screen as well.

GamerGate was about rejecting the cultural marxist attack on the gaming industry and most people who are "getting owned" by these compilations were not liberal at all but woke

Good example. I remember watching some of those and cringing at the SJWs and liberals that were showcased. Now, I cringe at the idea of an "SJWs getting owned compilation". This seems to have happened with the online new atheist movement as well. Many would cringe at fundamentalists but now many of the same new atheists are no longer "new" atheists and cringe at new atheist content creators.

I think it's simpler. In cultures we ascribe often to ideals of pride and grace to varying mixes. Where grace is more ideal, guilt reigns as what there is when gratitude is not acted from. Where pride, the sensation of achievement, is held more ideal, shame reigns as what there is when achievement is not earned. In Christian theology, the grace & blessing of God that is not earned is central. In theology where doing things a right way, as you'd see in confucian-influenced culture, is placed central

I didn’t cringe once during the video. The closest I got was when you included a clip of some guy talking about a video of someone pouring nut on their face lol but I didn’t cringe I laughed. Even if you didn’t realize the clip was inappropriate and only accidentally included it (which would be a social clumsiness) it still wouldn’t be cringy. I’m not sure why maybe because it just funny and I think no one would care cuz most of us are desensitized to sexual comments

It's cool to know the germans have the concept of 'Fremdschämen' because also say the same thing in Portuguese: "Vergonha alheia". Literally, "Shame (feeling ashamed) for others". Also interesting to know this concept only took off in Germany 10 years ago.

Seneca feels the cringe ... From On Tranquility of Mind: 6) In one's own misfortunes, a person should act so as to grant to grief only what nature demands," not what is required by custom. Indeed, most men shed tears for show and have dry eyes whenever they have no onlooker, thinking it shameful not to weep when everyone is doing it. This evil of depending on other men's opinion has implanted itself so deeply that even the simplest matter, grief has turned into pretense.
