He wanted to make movies as a kid but failed and became a "philosopher."

He teaches in the north east which is one of the most un-republican part of the United States,
so he gets to have luke warm takes like, transpeople are not revolutionary
and gets to look like a complete edgelord.

He is just the best youtuber-movie reviewing philosopher

Postmodernism, now, is just a conversation style that is anti-history and makes people more confused.

sure this is true to a degree but i find this to be the frustration of people not understanding there's no direct way to some of the more difficult understanding

and i don't mean in the sense of obscurantist bullshit, i mean you have to do it, this is why he tells stories, to engage and provoke, it's to grease the wheels but you have to get end yourself when we're talking about thinking about thinking. or to put it in the hands of a different master

God drat!
gently caress the first 30 seconds of that loving video!
Older engineers are loving weird, and that is why their politics are all hosed up.
Bertrand Russel told people "don't become philosophers become engineers."
So all that philosophy bullshit leaked into engineering and the sciences.

That is the poo poo the drove Wittgenstein to say that philosophy should help people or "let the fly out of the jar."

that big pile of labels you linked is much less insightful than you seem to think it is

You're right that section of the video was big pile of labels.

What is electrical charge?

And it sucks that the person watching Richard Feynman has to go through a few language games at the beginning of the video to actually get to the meat of it.
It's 2021.
Give me that good poo poo 20 seconds ago.


But philosophy's obnoxious question asking leaked into the sciences and engineering.
When it can be much more blunt.

That's why Dawksons, Neil Degrasse Tyson, god particles, and the pale blue dot, became the punching bag of the religious right.
When those Religious, motha-fukkas should be been studying Thomas Aquinas and Saint Augustine.



edit: oh it.s 2021
