Jason Jorjani & Uberboyo | American Colossus - Prometheus on Alcatraz 

Dr Jason is soo right on this. Philosophy is first in the chain, it is the mind of transformation, but art and aesthetics are second, indispensable, the means of transformation.

*What I like about Jorjani is he brings hope into the picture. Hope for a better, brighter future.*

wow i get goosebumps listening to jorjani. what a brilliant mind. As an Iranian everything he is saying about geopolitics & muslim take over of europe & Iran rising up to to fight and save the west is true and will unfold

Prometheus on Alcatraz would be a nice symbol for breaking free.

The importance of architecture for our collective self-image cannot be understated. Are we a parasite on the planet or a beautifying force? I hope this project succeeds! And that it will be the first of many

I’m sold honestly

Great discussion. Jorjani is so underrated.

I've been pondering a mythical statue to revivify the American dream and this is such a perfect idea set up by the best man for the job. WOO FIRE ME UP

*When is SEPEHR coming on?*

"Metal, probably..." Fuckin classic

So good to get the gang together again! [I'm +1 all the way on this, btw] Funny i woke up listenin to this, today... "Wargasm, wargasm, one, two, three Smutty bloody pictures, ecstasy Blue balls waiting impatiently From Alcatraz to Lady Liberty" San Fran needs help. Asian Culture there could use it, too. A Prime redirect for The Times & mo. +1 all the way Hail Prometheus. Viva La USA & The Humanist Project We represent. Welcome One, Welcome All. lfg! [again: so great to see UberBoyo again!!!] Here's to what comes next 🔥❤ 🥂

Combining a trip to Mars and Promethean statue looks like an epic rebirth

thank god for that $10 minimum

Love the talk need more often! Would have loved to heard more about Jason’s thoughts on Robert Sepeher.

Oh heck yea! Always the ultimate interlocutors. Been waiting for this.

Hail Prometheus.

The Rock was an excellent action movie from the 90's that had a really good plot and themes, not to mention a really good car chase.

I like how Alcatraz is akin to Elis Island. I hope it’s conserved into a museum showcasing the prison-to-freedom methos.

I thought Stef did well on this one: he turned up.

NFTs often bear a bad reputation due to previous iterations and the sometimes 'scammy' undertones associated with them, yet they represent a novel technology. This mirrors the initial skepticism faced by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Just as people were critical of these cryptocurrencies in their early days, we can expect similar reactions to NFTs. From my perspective, there's untapped potential in this emerging form. Professor Jorjani presents an alchemical argument for its significance, and there's also the innovative financial mechanisms it offers. Additionally, there's something appealing and poetic in using these new financial technologies to birth the Titan of Technology itself, as if technology is bringing itself into being through 'autopoesis'.

Something that just hit me - with the Prometheus statue, if you really want to go wild with it, why not have Prometheus pointing straight up gesturing at outer space? That gives it both warmth and a direction that's not other countries.

Mithra in the east. Promethius in the west. Christ in the middle. That's America in a nutshell.

GET JASON ON WITH YARVIN.

It was a wild moment hearing Stef talk about Iain, while Jason is speaking about his first book because The Master and His Emissary sits right next to Prometheus and Atlas, among other books on the shelf right next to my monitor. I never necessarily connected the two explicitly but this is just fantastic to know I'm reading in the right direction, not only philosophically but how it relates to us neurologically in a broader historical context.

Great project Jason!

Get Jorjani drunk or high for the next one. And Neal sober just to flip the script.

Brilliant discussion as always. So much to ponder. 👏👏👏

Theyre going to build it(hopefully) and no one will know or care what it was intended to mean. The statue of liberty is mithras is a blow off trivia question dismissed immediately cause we insisted our own meaning on it. We'll do the same with this one. I hope this isn't a discouraging statement because i really do want it to be built. I think its a fantastic idea.

57:49 - If I get what Jason is saying, a statue has something like the cultural version of software scalability, and that even becomes literal if the statue becomes an Instagram, X, etc. tourist selfie-trap.

Great talk. I'm learning a lot. I hope maybe one day Brazil may get powerful philosophers to bring here also some statue and/or other powerful symbols that could give life to the archetype of Prometheus in here. All Latin America actually desperately also needs the power of Prometheus working to get free from the shackles of roman Catholic mental slavery. By the way, I'm computer programmer and have some experience with 3D, games and stuff like that and I would be very happy in helping setting up some kind of game, movie animations, cinematics telling stories of Prometheus, Titans and so forth. I also have some knowledge of bitcoin and crypto.

What a spectacular vision this is. Exciting discussion gentlemen.

I went to college in fisherman’s wharf! This would be so dope lol

Great discussion again .really educational. Also Jason is very inspiring with his ideology of promitiousim .

I enjoy and have learned much from watching Dr. Jorjani regarding philosophy, religion / cultural world history. However I would argue that his takes on US politics could use more data to substantiate claims, namely on the electoral front, made in this ep.

NFTs are such a bad idea.

The future is so close, but so far away!

Whose got the timestamps where they discuss the Nordics?

Cool idea! I remember I had a dream about 15 years ago that I had designed a statue on O'Connell st, Dublin. It was a moving statue composed of water. It was a statue of a woman who was dancing while looking up at the sky (holy f×ck, just now I remember that lady who used to dance on that street back when I was a kid in the 90's! Dancing Mary!!! She was clearly the inspiration for that dream.) The statue was huge and made of water which used electricity to sculpt the body of water into a giant dancing woman. And, in my dream, people were amazed that they didn't get soaked n the presence of this massive, swiftly moving water sculpture. When I woke up I remeber thinking how achievable this idea was. That was 15 years ago. Dublin has changed so much now that I doubt any personality such as Dancing Mary would be welcome there. Mary no longer dances in Dublin. We now have children getting randomly stabbed by foreign men. Such a quick change. Everyone talks about the change which has befallen San Francisco...why have they tried to mirror that same destruction in Dublin? Or have "they"? Is it natural or man-made? Is crack cocaine natural? Can anything be classified as "unnatural"? Who are this "they" and why are they waging a (no longer clandestine but open) war against Irish people?

1:08:52 The statue of Unity is the statue of Sardar Patel and is located in Gujarat India not in China.

How uberboyo and lev kept a straight face when the chat was spamming JRJ Pokemon Go! I will never know!

Odins on the move

Why not make a promethean video game?

2:25:00 - 2:27:35 Wow, so much said with so little words. A large theme in Birth of Tragedy is summed up here.

Statue of unity is Walebh Patel in India 😅

$10 for superchat is overkill Some people gotta work for 2-3 hours just to make that money

am a very sad person, this is the highlight of my month, or 2.

jorjani is iranian son of a shekhs and clerics , robert sepehr is a son of a cleric also , thats why they r to savage about each other

He called the Israel Iran shizz

Great discussion and interesting ideas. I will have prometheism in my mind as a good idea

What about the Hebrew idioms parables and parabolic pantomimes in the old and new testaments? Please answer Becky question. Becky #1 philosopher.

Hail Prometheus and Hail Lucifer.

Lev - I submitted a $10 super chat that wasn't brought up. I understand it was a bit off topic but I'd appreciate it if it was asked on Dr. Jorjani's next appearance or I get a refund. My question was related to the alleged MH370 videos and if Jorjani thinks that might be the US leveraging Tesla's technology.

Should be Prometheus offering the fire down to the viewer /mankind

Well done Lev, keep going! About the american civil war thing and red states owning a lot of guns; How are militias armed with rifles, guns and pistols going to stand a chance against modern heavy cavalry and ordnance? We've seen how that goes in multiple wars around the world.. Longterm guerilla warfare and many losses. Besides that, how many americans are fit for combat anyways. Any rational person who wants the best for humankind would be against such a war, since only a small group of devious people can benefit from such a war. Instead people need to be taught in order to work together. That is where philosophy comes in👌

Ironically no one is talking about classical greek models and a viable path forward when Prometheus is the name of the movement. How many intellectual flowerings came from the greeks? Classical Greece. Then Greece under Rome continuing philosophy, medicine and science. Then Rome falls and in Byzantium they speak Greek and the schools continue on. Even after Byzantium falls those greek thinkers flee to Italy to spark the Renaissance. Maybe there is something special about the Greek languages, concepts and culture. Maybe returning to a Greek modle would fit the future.

The artifacts for The Maze should be stainless steel

jason talks shit about robert sepehr is ironic

Jason calls it Archeofuturism to please the audience. I've been following him for years now, and you won't find any perennial aspects in his worldview. He hates Traditionalism with a passion.

You guys need to talk to Alex Becker about NFTs

Dude. Seriously pronounce his last name correctly, it's a part of respect. Why is it hard for you to pronounce Reza, its his name...

If America didn’t start out as a Christian nation, then what did it start as?

Jason, I'm such a fan, but a Colossus on Alcatraz, Dude...are you smoking crack?!

San Francisco has historically not been a part of Silicon Valley and has only been considered part of it for the past 15 years or so. The rebuilding of San Francisco, and the recultivating of what made it special, starts with a diversity of industries. Tech is a geographically stratified industry and does not need to oversaturate San Francisco to thrive. The United States is also miles ahead of China technologically and will remain there. San Francisco and Seattle should not be the sacrificial lambs of American cities in the name of a paranoid fear of western decline.

I need 10 million if theres any billis watching right now

Glitch in the Matrix? Did Jason just say about Trump "by the end end of his second term" ?

What do you do when there's a disagreement between progressive people and traditionalist people? Adopt a progressive tradition. 20:00

Christ is King

1:25:00 probably should not have said that out loud...😨

pretty lame that jason didn't answer the exorcism and demonology question, and the next few questions were people blowing smoke up their booties. lame lame lame

As someone from “Arabia” I’m really disappointed from Jorani’s racist statements

Steph is wrong [as usual] about his pretended [assumed] Trad Culture's merits, no less its cohesion. But, I love him, dearly. He's real deal. Thus: The Gang I choose, be here. nuff sed.

this project sounds like a scam

Uh Jason….

Jorjani cringe posting with NFTs

I really think that Islam destroyed the great Iranian culture. Hope they find back to their roots again!

Jason is getting seriously goofy. Civil war 😂.

Get rid of Christianity with Prometheus. 1000s of years of history for a cartoon Greek Myth. 😂

Ubermidwito

No doubt Jason Reza Jorjani is an original thinker with a plethora of contributions to the history of ideas. But on politics in general, and especially Iran - Israel history and political relations, Jason is at best naive and embarrassingly goofy. There are so many baseless assumptions forming the foundations of his Iran - Israel historico-politico understanding, that his fantastical analysis and claims on the matter are patently false.
