As long time spectator, I actually have to restrain myself from acting as a fangirl when 3 of my fave youtubers appear in the same video about Hegel with references to Fanon's work which remains pretty confidential in France outside of black and/or scholar circles. As a French black feminist and content creator, your work provided me not only a philosophical bagage and ideas for sharing knowledge out here and take part in important discussion, but you also shed light on works than rarely are put in perspective with what's actually happening politically in our parts of the Western world. So thanks for everything. Long live Olly. Ps: your acting and kinky hints are on point 😉

When it comes to capacity - I got the impression that you couched it mostly in terms of innate mental capacity/facility/intellectual disabilities- but I think there are also issues of just how much time and available resources people have. We can't expect people who are constantly stressed and low on time to be able to chew through information and theory to responsibly participate and communicate in a political system. It takes a certain amount of headspace to do this stuff- and that headspace is a luxury.

@redrooster3420 5 жыл бұрын
This is such an important point, yes! Issues of headspace/capacity in these cases definitely affect a wide variety of groups, and for a wide variety of reasons. (Although sorry this may be super obvious) another example of this can be seen in other kinds of disabled people, such as those that live with chronic illness/chronic pain. For instance, I live with various chronic illnesses, and the physical toll that these illnesses take on my energy levels often prevents me from being able to think clearly enough to take in, retain, or communicate information as easily (or as consistently) as I once was able (before getting sick).

Huge point. Has anyone tried to read Hegel or even contemporary philosophers like Unger? Stuff is obscenely dense. A slow, careful reading (I tend to read a fair bit slower than some but hey gotta get that critical understanding) of a ten page dense philosophy chapter takes me two hours. Many people are 'smart' enough to, with time and a bit of SparkNotes, understand the material, but if you don't have enough time, I don't think almost anyone can!

This is incredibly important and often overlooked, I was just about wo write the same. A good portion of the means to understand fragments of our world comes frome the time and effort that was possible to be put into getting the neccessary means to do that. Just as poorer people are not less intelligent because a smaller percentage of them goes to college, but that richer people have more capacity and more external help (throught their upbringing etc.) to be enabled to recht this goal. (This of course is a metaphor and should not suggest college as the ultimative goal)

My favorite Hegel quote is how he, ironically, recommends crushing the skulls of racists. "When, therefore, a man is told 'You (your inner being) are this kind of person because your skull-bone is constituted in such-and-such a way,' this means nothing else than, 'I regard a bone as your reality.' To reply to such a judgment with a box on the ear, as in the case of the similar judgment in physiognomy mentioned above, at first takes away from the soft parts their importance and position, and proves only that these are no true in-itself, are not the reality of spirit; the logical retort here would, strictly speaking, have to go the length of smashing in the skull of anyone making such a judgment, in order to demonstrate in a manner just as palpable as his wisdom, that for a man, a bone is nothing in itself, much less his true reality."

...and here you can witness Hagel's appetite for ideological self-consistency. When someone makes such a shallow assertion inconsistent with performance intended by spirit, then it is another's duty to demonstrate this inconsistency in a very real way - by proving the _relevancy_ of the assertion unmistakably false. This is why I like Hagel.

Thank you for your discussion on disabled people. I feel like this kind of thing gets ignored by most people, and that's frustrating for me, since I have a brother who is cognitively disabled, gay, and also something of a minority since my white family adopted him from Korea. He's sort of mentally age 12 (actually 27) and is very much like you described, able to take an interest in things and recognize that he needs help, but not always able to understand how best to advocate for himself. He takes care of himself, but often gets bullied and overwhelmed at work, and has found it extremely difficult to get effective government assistance. The fact that he's on rocky terms with my conservative parents also doesn't help. Hopefully things get better for him eventually.

I love me some Fanon. I can't think of any other academic writing I've come across that has as much power while remaining so easy to read. Every damn sentence is quotable, here's one that I used for a Uni assignment on a very different topic and somehow it could be used just as effectively in this video "I stumbled, and the movements, the attitudes, the glances of the other fixed me there… I burst apart. Now the fragments have been put together again by another self." [Black Skin, White Masks p.117] You mention that Fanon's closing lines of Black Skin, White Masks sounds almost poetic, but I'd be inclined to say the same of everything I have read from that book (I still need to read it all instead of just the chapters assigned for Uni), a tutor described him as a 'capital A author' in the manner a lot of academics weren't and I'd be inclined to agree. Apologies I got a little off topic, but thanks for another fantastic video!

Rather than viewing her as just an object, something to you buy, sell, use, or consume, she states that she deserves to be seen as a woman. She is living the life of a woman in an age where women aren't always treated the same, even if that's how it's supposed to be in the law (though, throughout most of time, and most of civilizations, women were never really seen as equal). She's a person, - a human being- with her own unique experiences, consciousness, feelings, memories, parents, friends, hopes, dreams, etc etc. Viewing someone that is basically your evolutionary equal (clearly not social equal), as less than yourself simply for existing within their body and doing what they need to survive is a foolish thing.

9:10 - So good to be hearing this! The metaphor is true in which format knowledge is presented. It's not the atom that is dialectical between positive and negative charge, it's the idea of how the "atom" works. To make this insight worth while we must be able to internalize its meaning somehow. And dialectics has been shown to be a powerful idea. That is why the format of metaphors makes it applicable to reality through our minds. For example, scientists are completely unable to imagine knowledge without a subject interacting an object. The _object-subject distinction_ is fundamental typically to propositional forms of epistemology. One may even say that the object and the subject are dialectical to each other. This is the most basic way to spell out knowledge.

I love you oilly, but as an Egyptian, I cringed so hard when you said that slaves built the pyramids. They did not, and they weren't jewish either. The jewish people came thousands of years after the pyramids were built. Egyptian farmers built the biggest pyramid for 20 years during the time of year when there was no farming because of the Nile annual flooding. They had towns built for them near the pyramids building site, and they were paid workers. This was actually a huge help to the farmers because for a good portion of the year due to the Nile flooding, they would be out of work and without income so the pyramids project was a good economic boost to the country. Now, you want to talk about how they found the remains of these farmers with arched backs from carrying stones and how cruel the whole project seems to be, I am with you, or the fact that Ancient Egyptian pharaohs were megalomaniac as fuck, I am also with you. The slaves thing however is just not true. Anyway, sorry for going on a tangent. You have created something amazing with this video as always.

@scottylilacleona9193 5 жыл бұрын
Still, the workers that built the pyramids would have far greater knowledge and understanding of everything that went into the pyramids than any pharaoh could ever know. The premise of the argument can be agreed upon, even if the specifics of it are rough or off my a margin. Also, apparently the workers were paid in very starchy beer, and were buried beside there lives' work.

The last bit with Fanon's poem and the explanation of inclusion via shared vulnerability brought tears to my eyes. It must be acknowledged that in the past even socialist have had a bad track record with including differently able people or disabled people in their demands or from participating. One only need to read up on Helen Keller and her constant fight for recognition, not only from the rest of society but also her fellow socialists. Now this isn't some kind of put down of socialism, rather we should look to those past mistakes with new clarity to make a better socialism that includes all no matter who they are. To share in each other's vulnerability is to see that we only ever had each other to push back against the one thing that is always certain; Death.

I tend to see „Herrschaft und Knechtschaft“ as psychological codependency. Or in psychoanalysis the well known transference and counter-transference. Meaning there is a two way projection and the development of consciousness creates a third type of consciousness. Jung called that the transcendent function where you recognize the other in yourself and the self in the other. Right now there is also an increasing scientific understandings of the phenomenon of transference. But there is another phenomenon in BDSM of top, bottom and things like „topping from the bottom“ and recognition of top as bottom. This is about maintaining the tension but also recognizing a consensual greater relationship within the tension of both mutual vulnerability and the playing out of the polarized roles at the same time.

I used to have a theory that most artistic movements "succeeded" when they and their ideas were taken into the mainstream, and that many movements ultimate goal would be to be taken up by this mainstream and change it. Would that work better using the Hegelian Dialectic metaphor? Where you have the mainstream culture which creates antithesises in the form of counter culture, and when a counter culture has "succeeded" (ie. The adoption of Rock Music into pop culture) that really the two pairs collided and formed a synthesis culture that was like the old one but now with more rock elements?

Ludwig van Beethoven supposedly wrote something in a letter to a Prince he was having a dispute with once, which supposedly translates as follows: "Prince, what you are, you are by accident of birth. What I am, I am by myself. There is and will be thousonds of Princes, but there is only one Beethoven" And although Beethoven was another white dude, he was here the slave, basically letting his master know what is realized in the final part of that dialectic, whilst also making a profound statement about art, artists, individuality, the act of creation and self realization, in one of my favorite mike drops ever. And it was made by a deaf guy, who made "noisy music" before thw mike, and the proper aprechiation of his music was invented. I'm sorry but Beethoven is such a badass. Also I recomend "The soul of man under socialism" by Oscar Wilde, which is both gendered, judgemental, and a bit religiously oriented at times, but it's still surprisingly open minded for it's time in some areas, and an intreserting analysis of individualism and art. It's here on youtube under the shortened title "the soul of man" read awesomly (librivox❤️).

This is really good. And it's really good specifically *because* of your ability to combine philosophy and acting. Philosophy so often comes off as gibberish because it's so deeply impractical, but your rendering of it as theater turns the gibberish into a pantomime, where the non-reality is excused as broadness of gesture, not a failing but a strategy to overcome the lossy medium of interpersonal communication.

This was wonderful! Lots to chew on here, and I like how you broke down many different parts not only of one person's philosophy, but how we talk about it, and how we apply it. I will say, towards the end, the 'Compulsory Capacity' need not apply solely to those with disabilities - though they are by far the most affected by that way of thinking. Ignorance of facts, not being woke enough, having a lack of education on a subject, or time for reflection, or indoctrination... many things can contribute to someone who is not capable of being their fully aware and actualized self, with the ability to demand their own rights and change. And I thank you for bringing this up, because it's so much the crux of where Hegel's meeting of equals fails. Whether it's race or colonialism (which, Falon's quotes remind me of American revolutionary statements, which makes me wish we learned more about non-Western writers with such philosophical ideals) or disabilities and impairments, to prejudices, we all can fall into a void of invisibility. And so we must seek to let people know that they are visible, and equals, however we can. I wonder a lot about my cats, and what they may know, think, and feel, that I will never know, because they can't communicate it in the ways that I can understand. It makes me wonder about the multitudes of species, cultures, languages, experiences there are on our planet, or in our universe, and it makes me feel a good kind of small.

I believe chess might be an interesting way of expressing the metaphor of Hegelian dialectics. Take the queens gambit. I have given up material advantage, you have more pieces than me; however I have a positional advantage. I am more able to create a strong contingent of moving pieces in the center of the board. I have accepted the defeat and loss of a piece. I have become the slave to my opponent’s role of master. However, I have the ability to build, where they will be less able to.
