The marquee phrase of The Terror of the Same is "Good vibes only."

@O.G.Rose.Michelle.and.Daniel Жыл бұрын

Excellent work, and I really like the line (to paragraph): “the negativity of other is gone and replaced by the positivity of the same.” A very succinct and insightful way to put it. There is no possibility of communal ontology without the other, so “the positivity of the same” bleeds into becoming “the self-enclosed hell of being all there is.” Where there is sameness, there can only be “one thing” (for everything must be the same), and thus the conditions of sameness are the conditions of autonomy and hell. I also liked the points on authenticity hiding our loss of “otherness,” which is further disguised by a notion of diversity which secretly favors Global Capitalism. I also agree that politics is impossible where there is no “other.” Really excellent video, Trey, well done!

Han needs to read Fr. Schmemann's The Eucharist. The eucharist, the sacrament of assembly, is THE "solution" to expulsion of the other. It is how the one and the many are unified symbolically (which is reality). Han is very illuminating but he inserts all these tensions that are dissolved when you take an orthodox perspective.

@@telosboundOne can take Han's insights and compare them to the one time in the Gospels where Jesus was angered at the money changers in the Temple, and He chased them out, just by speaking the Truth they felt it as violence, as the Truth took their power away and over turned their tables of profit. I took this moment in Gospels to mean that if we place Greed at the center of our being where we should be focused on God, we will commodify our neighbor to the point of dehumanizing them and eventually dehumanizing ourselves. The insatiable engine of Greed knows no constraints and will exploit all of nature and the living and every human (mark of the beast) until the point of exhaustion and collapse (annhilation=hell). Good work telosbound.

The word "mammon" as a personification of money and power-seeking was such a useful reification in the Gospels. Wish we as Christians used it more today, especially given passages like Luke 16:13 "No servant is able to serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and he will love the other, or he will be devoted to one and he will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon."

Another excellent video. It's great to hear you cover theory applied to politics (ethnonationalism, neoliberalism) which if I'm correct your earlier work mostly avoided. On that subject, since you've covered both Han and Zizek who are both basically lacano-marxists, I'd be interested to see videos that really dive into Marxism and its philosophical history and contested relationship with Hegelianism. A lot of people have interpretated Marxism as a kind of secular Christianity, which I don't agree with and I imagine you don't either but that could also be an interesting subject.

Han often refers to ethno-nationalism when he addresses the need for identity in the void of meaning. Oddly, I've never heard him discuss the crises of identity in modern youth, which is far more prevalent and suggests a dire future for the West. Modern universities and politicians use the cudgel of identity to control the youth.

@nikosantikythera2422 9 ай бұрын

Me too. Sure, ethno-nationalism is real; but it’s almost marginal compared to the current manipulation in the West and beyond of identity-definitions and -factors, as they are foisted upon or stripped from young peoples’ consciousness.

I understand the natural antagonism in the fact that we're separate people and the negativity in that and I also see the positive aspect of how that allows us to actually connect with others and not just be self-referential. What I get confused about with pop philosophers is who exactly they are speaking to... my assumption is that if someone is interested in philosophy they are not nearly consuming information , but are actively attempting to strive towards virtue and the actualization of their potentialities. As such, the way that they talk about anxiety or despair seems utterly unrelatable to me.

Is it ok if i challenge this here? I’m struggling the overlap this critique in 2023 American society. I’m inclined to believe that the internet and social media has amplified hyper individualization. Niche culture. I don’t see or feel the loss of the other. While i fully agree and enjoy the commentary on the commodification of the individual due to the structure of capitalism; I’m struggling to map this onto modern community or society.

The subjectivity of computing is completely wrong in your video. There is nothing more stilted and suffocatingly objective, as computer code. All content given to the computing user is gardened, manufactured and manipulated for an outcome, there is very little subjectivity in computing, almost none at all. It becomes extremely obvious once you try to make something genuinely new on a computer, and not rehashes of old ideas. The stifling limitations of programming, technology and computing, is a prison cell for the mind.
