English subtitles by me :) though it was a rough translation as I am still poor in German. Please do not hesitate to let me know and correct some of the translations you see unfit or inaccurate in the comments section!
Outro music: J.S Bach-Goldberg Variations BMV 889-01-Aria (This is one of Byung-Chul Han's favourite classical music piece)

[CORRECTIONS AND NOTES] I thank the user @TheMultiBaby for telling me that what Han said in 4:18 was in fact "Selbstüberschreitung", not "Selbstüberschätzung" as I had translated it in the video. This makes more sense because Selbstüberschreitung means "a going beyond, or exceeding of the self that is made possible through Eros, through eroticism". [Original Description] I tried my best to translate and capture Han's poetic style into English but it's not perfect as my German is still poor. If you guys speak German please don't hesitate to comment which parts seems unfit or inaccurate, I'll add the corrections in the description and give you credit. I struggled with how to translate Verausgabung in 4:11 so it'd be nice if you guys suggested a better translation. Discussions and thoughts are much appreciated!

Hey Kenny, thank you for your translation! There's just one little thing I wanted to add: I don't think he says "Selbstüberschätzung" - I think he says "Selbstüberschreitung", so a going beyond or an exceeding of the self that is made possible through Eros, through eroticism :)

This is something of a kind you only come across seldom. An eye opener. It popped up after I saw a vid on 'the burnout society'. Definetely going to delve deeper into this, as I'm sensing and despising the shackles of what's called 'modernization' (with that aweful 'handy' ball upfront) more and more.

This ideology is quite misleading. Leftists keep blaming neoliberalism for all the evils of the world notwithstanding that very few countries are neoliberal. Tax rates in Germany, South Korea, France, the UK, Japan, and so many countries are way too high, so high that blaming neoliberalism makes no sense. By taking half of your income, government deprives you of so much freedom because taxation drastically reduces the range of options you could otherwise afford. I'm sure Byung Chul Han has heard of North Korea, where population is starved and stumped on by its communist dictator. Is this left-wing philosopher also going to blame neoliberalism for what's going on there?
