Thank you for this interesting bookreview/discussion. For personally working on non violence, you might be interested in non violent communication. I hope I will find a translation of this book in my own language because the small parts you read from it sounded quite difficult. But also fascinating. Thanks for your great video's, I see I missed one on Wildes book about socialism, so I will watch that this weekend :D.

I've been a fan of years for a couple of years or maybe even more. You inspired me to delve into philosophy. Although I wouldn't say I'm as well versed as you I'm going to tackle Hegel after I read Schelling as I think his ideas are cool from what I'm read in secondary sources such as Pinkard. I'm a pacifist, and there is societal pressure to be violent even on the small scale. Such as being tough and fighting. You're a really humble guy and a good role model, if I have read Hegel and the more difficult philosophers I'd be so pompous and pretentious ahahahhahhaha Anyways thanks man!

Man, you are amazing. Many thanks.

That guy was Alex jones.

Thanks for sharing

Wow, thanks for sharing Mr. Wildes work.

Interesting video, id love to see you discuss I'll take my stand by virginia rock

I enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with such clarity.

Hey, I love this video! I look forward to seeing the others!

The Black Ponderer, great video dude

I've always loved political philosophy but you really have helped me always find new things to read. As soon as I finish a book I just look at your channel for another book to read. I know if you've made a video on it, it'll be a good time to read

Would you be interesting in doing a video on Kropotkin's "Conquest of Bread" or "Mutual Aid"? I really like both books and I'd love to hear your take

I'm super excited to read this! Just ordered from AKpress

wow, this sounds like it really is applicable to my personal philosophy. I'll definitely pick up this book and I'm looking forward to reading it!

That is a beautiful &simple explanation for the search for meaning.

The music is totally drowning you out mate, we tune in to hear your thoughts not some lame a** copyright free beats 😉✌️ keep it real

Thank you!

Enjoyed the stream. It was interesting what you said about trigger warnings. I find when they're very specific it can sort of be a spoiler, it can give you an event that you expect and can sometimes guess what characters/plot points it's going to affect. I'd prefer if they were general, but maybe had some external website/publication for specific trigger warnings? Obviously it is different for trauma, but having a shocking scene appear suddenly is sometimes ideal for film, it's supposed to reflect trauma and recreate jarring experiences.

I'm a hobbiest philosopher and professional physicists so I have been thinking through the implications of relativity for a long time. Whats interesting is if you look at relativity historically many of the implications and results of the theory were already worked out and known. Time and length dilation/contraction has been hypothesized since Maxwell's equations. Even a rudimentary theory of relativity has been around for several hundred years (Galilean relativity). However, what a lot of modern people nowadays miss when looking at Einstein's theories was what specifically Einstein did. Einstein did not come up with the ideas of length dilation and contraction or relative time (He wasn't even the first person to write down E=mc^2). What Einstein did was in fact a triumph of the union of metaphysics with physics. Einstein derived all of these observed phenomena and tied them all together by demanding one simple axiom: the speed of light is constant for all observers, no matter how they are moving. By carefully following the logic of this through he found all of these found phenomena and generated the modern physical view of spacetime as a complete geometric space (this space is hyperbolic in time). This was his special relativity. This alone was a philosophical and physical triumph. However, he decided to do it all over again by adding one additional axiom: an observer in free fall can not tell whether they are in a gravitational field. By again carefully following through the logical implications he created his theory of general relativity and all it entails. This included a mechanism for the creation and perpetuation of gravitational fields, only by demanding these two axioms. Einstein of course is one of the most successful and important physicists of all time. However, I feel not enough people give him the credit he deserves as a philosopher. He is as much a philosopher as a physicist.

Wow, I just found your channel when I was searching Emma Goldman videos. Your channel is fantastic, I am so excited to watch through your videos!

Amazing review and I expected nothing less, this channel is definitely the best consistent book review channel I have come across. My favorite quote in the book is when raskolnikov says, "Man is vile... and he who points that out is vile as well." and when he says later in the same chapter, "If one were to be condemned to an island surrounded by water, it would be better to stand on it for a thousand years than to die at once!" I may be paraphrasing them a little, but they really help showcase the early beginnings of raskolnikov understanding that this Napoleonic, fantastical philosophy he has been exploring may be an awry conclusion on life. The last best quote comes when he is talking to porfiry and porfiry explains that suffering is necessary and that one must choose their suffering. This channel always does a great job of analyzing the book thoroughly without giving any spoilers so it broadens the range of his audience to people who have read the book and those who may be interested in reading it. Overall awesome review on an awesome book, BRAVO!

Awesome Review!!!!! Just finished reading it and your video really helped in wrapping up the ideas presented in the book. Also its impressive how you were able to do it without droning on or spoiling it. Easily one of the best book reviews ive seen and definitley the best one ive seen regarding the stranger. Well done good sir! Absolutely great book and wishing u many blessings and good luck on your endeavors.

Picked up this book recently, thank you for the recommendation!! ❤

One day we will pay women who choose to stay home and raise a family because it is a job. In fact the existance of our race depends on women not getting fed up of doing this job for free😂

you explain things in such a great way! this helped me so much with my paper! ❤

I'm male, and this book actually helped me unpack a lot of the "masculine mystique" as Friedan dubs it. It was pretty good for my mental health in that regard. Definitely recommend men pick up this book as well - Angela Davis talks about learning about all struggles because you learn how they're your struggles too and I've found that to be truer the more I've read.

Love this film!

lol good luck with that nonsense

Great discussion! I'm definitely picking up this book now.

So glad I found this channel✊🏾

What did eugenics Margret Sanger say when placing Planned Parent hood clinics in neighborhoods? Its only a matter of time before they are gone!

I wish RUclips would not post these ignorant videos. Its proves Darwin was right about people. This narrator is proof!

I like that you’re reading this and explaining it. I wonder what Kant would say if he were alive watching this, because he was apparently a racist and did not think black people were capable of logic or reason.

This is awesome! I agree, this is the peak of philosophy to date. Incredible way to view society and own true selves.

This channel is amazing, I lost my passion for reading after finding that most communities I knew where either fiction-focused or read non-fiction, but very complex old-timey works. So this is the awesome middle-ground that I've really been enjoying and has definitely made me pick up reading again (including this collection!) I think it'll take me a while before I read something as big as The Second Sex though. 😂 But I did get out The New Jim Crow and The Feminine Mystique from the library as some entry-level texts because of this page. Plus some random ethnic and queer studies philosophy. 🙂

I find it surprising that more scholarship hasn’t seemed to link the Poetics (particularly its examination of tragedy) with political discourse and social narratives. It seems there are ripe avenues for inquiry, examining how particular events are framed and presented in media discourse. I wonder if you maybe know of any?

41:50 needing money is not motivation, whatever they say; it's compulsion.

27:40 the elitist theorists said because wealth is inherited, so is political power, so the line between absolute monarchy and liberal democracy is thin.

I love this video! It’s great because a lot of people use the idea of absurdism to do whatever they want, but the book shows the fact that consequences are still going to happen and if you truly are absurdist you won’t be surprised or argue against that fact. The main character has the ability to think through others as he’s shown with his boss.

this is horrendous! And why did you put your colour into it? It’s irrelevant! I will not be subscribing to someone who can’t pronounce the subject names correctly.

I'm reading this book and the journey is mind-blowing. I'm an historian and teacher, this book debunked almost everything I learned in my career. It was depressing in some way. However, refreshing at the same time. I'm really glad this book reached my hands. Great video and review by the way 🎉

Neil, your infectious smile had me grinning the entire time during your entire discussion of Waking Life. I had to watch this for an intro art class and just wanted to see more impressions this film left on others, and thankfully, I found your video. Thank you for your insight and will be excited to view more of your content, thank you!

I don't believe in evolution, but I am really glad I found your channel. You did a great job at explaining Darwin's point of view regarding morality very well.

Excited to read this one! Great video.

Enjoyed the discussion! If I had been in the livestream I would have liked to ask the people in the chat (and yourself) what is meant by authenticity? I agree that glamour and the way it manipulates through parasocial relationships/following the dominant ideology is inauthentic, if we take authenticity to mean well intentioned or having no alterior motives etc. But I find when you think about all the different roles we play as people, including public 'glamourous' roles, there is very little consesus in the meaning of authenticity. Would love to hear thoughts on this.

Great video glamour can manifest as conditioning from the heads of state and ruling class to find luxury desirable or equate wealth with mystique but that's just my limited reading of it thought evocative video, i enjoy how long your content is it's nice to have something substative in the background while drawing or gaming and i feel like i always encounter introspective concepts and learn something new from each video thanks for sharing !

Would love to see you talk about the writings of P.D Ouspenky, G.I Gurdjieff, and Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). Great work

Glad you brought up the connection with Whiteness at 34:00 I was thinking the same thing, especially in relation to Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro’s argument that Jewishness is not a national identity and Israel and Zionism have attempted to make Jews into a nation at the cost of the religious values of Judaism.
