I think Philosophy starts when one realises the mind was wrong about something that matters. And this error has caused loss, damage or harm to self and others. At this point I started to think about how my mind works, deceives, and repeats or replicates the self in a destructive manner. It is life-changing. It is lonely. But worthy.

Jesus this, Jesus that, she never shuts up about it. But, when it comes to God's Green Earth..... doesn't care, apparently. Maybe, climate change is a little overblown, perhaps ,but pollution sure isn't.

Excellently done!

Interesting, Heraclitus has this understanding

you can't epistemically tolerate woke nonsense

Perhaps in Sabine's case that was true. However, there are many reasons why people get jobs in academia. It may simply be that the other candidates had different qualifications or experiences, or, are better known. It is not always a simple matter of discrimination. I would say in most cases today a woman would be employed over a man, especially a white male. "Social pressure" is too soft to use as a description for theses social realities. A different situation exists: One may really have to explain why the woman candidate is not chosen in many cases. People are looking out for their own jobs. In any event, there are many women in high positions in academia, and there are many inequities such as health care options for adjuncts. Do women play a part in theses academic equities today, since they comprise such a large proportion of the high level positions? I can remember sitting in a faculty room with a lady with a Masters from MIT, and she was not offered an academic position from another woman who was currently the department head. Sometimes people don't want to be outshined. In philosophy, one must always be skeptical: I would not jump to a quick PC answer. Thank you for the channel.

Dear Vlasta and Raul, did you see my comment on Sabine's video? I put it hear again, because I did introduce what I did call the UNIVERSAL SOUNDHELIX at the Philipps-University-Marburg already in 2011! I was accused of sexual intimidation by a young teacher who did this for a professor! Here my comment: Dear Sabine, what a story! But I can comfort you. In 2010 I rediscovered a universal pattern in the shifting of sounds. This had already been done by the personal physician of Emperor Charles V., but he was declared crazy. However, he got his theory from his mother, a midwife. No one believed this Goropius Becanus with the exception of Simon Stevin. In 2020, researchers wrote a book about Stevin in which they pretended that it was not the midwife, not Becanus, but Stevin who came up with the idea that we could retrieve hidden knowledge with this universal language pattern. Countless university professors made my life miserable about this sensational rediscovery for the sole reason of being able to show off this research of prehistoric midwives. That research is mainly in the field of natural sciences, your field, where men completely ignore us women, but precisely because women - as it turns out - are more competent. It took men in particular about ten years to copy my research for the sole purpose of gaining status and making money. Last week my homepage on ResearchGate was removed for the second time out of fear that it would become known that the majority of male natural scientists would be exposed as plagiarists. So, Sabine, console yourself, because you have stood your ground among all these terribly vain and jealous menfolk with a few exceptions like a Roger Penrose and actually also a Harald Lesch although he is also an insider who is aware that it is for the the ideas of the "White Women from the Lost Millennium" (The Age of Sage) concern the discovery of hidden knowledge through the universally valid sound pattern (klankhelix, Lauthelix, soundhelix). In Dutch, the color WIT that helixes in WITCH is a reference to Dutch HEKS, who were burned alive or buried centuries ago, solely because they had invented the MA-the-MA-tics alias the art of mama's, because they derived their name to the HEXAGRAM. That is why men have cursed women in the Torah, the Bible and the Koran, because woman is synonymous with devil. This devil was called LUCIFER. Do you see it? Lu-Cifer literally says HET CIJFER (the number)! Mach weiter mit gehobener Kopf weil du viele Frauen unterstützen kannst sich QUERR zu stellen gegen die Unterdrückung der Frauen an Universitäten und Hochschulen. Ich wurde sogar von sexueller Belästigung beschuldigt, damit man mich fristlos entlassen konnte und 'man' sich mit meiner Forschungsergebnisse davon machen konnte. Widerlich. Dann wurde ich auch noch vor Gericht unzurechnungsfähig erklärt. Ich sollte mit Zwangmedizin in einer geschlossenen Anstalt eingesperrt werden. Elternbesuch verboten. So gehen Männer an Universitäten immer noch mit ihren weiblichen Kollegen um! Zum Glück gab es einen Whistlerblower: Markus Kühbacher. Er beschuldigte die Professoren der Philipps-Universität-Marburg von VERTUSCHUNG meiner Forschungsergebnisse. Es gibt also auch noch anständige Männer!

"Dear [Rahul], I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest admiration for the incredible content you create. Your philosophical and psychoanalytic insights have truly enriched my understanding of the world and myself. Your podcast and videos are always thought-provoking, engaging, and expertly crafted. Your passion for exploring the human condition shines through in every episode, and I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel. Your work has sparked meaningful reflections, challenged my perspectives, and inspired me to delve deeper into the world of philosophy and psychoanalysis. I also wanted to make a humble request: would you consider inviting Richard Boothby onto your podcast? His work on Lacanian psychoanalysis and philosophy has been a significant influence on my own thinking, and I believe his insights would resonate beautifully with your audience. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with us. I eagerly look forward to your future content and hope to see Richard Boothby on your podcast soon! Warm regards,

That Brian Eno bit was fantastic (highly recommend his music btw haha). As an undergrad upperclassman at a tiny liberal arts school in a shabby little town, I’ve never really found any in-person “scenes” to get involved in. There’s so many I *could* get into, but I’ve never been in the right place at the right time, and I guess I never realized how much I withdrew from the world during COVID…and sort of just stayed that way. As an introverted person, I actually thrived during the pandemic at first, but I guess I’m finally realizing just how solipsistic my academic and creative pursuits have become since then. Simon gives great advice. I’ll have to check out his Heidegger lectures. Do you know about his wife, Jamieson Webster? I’ve dipped my toe into her psychoanalytic work, and it’s pretty outstanding. (I hope they’re still together or I’ll be pretty embarrassed about writing this lol)

@3:50 maybe, maybe science is "the best we've got". But you also need to consider in modern times with so many advances and incredible expertise _most_ of what passes for "science" is received knowledge, so the source is an authority, not _scientific _*_science_* per se. Which implies there is a spiritual component that is necessary, since one must be able to trust the authority, without the quality of trust there is corrosion and a blight on science. The "best we've got" is, imho, the spiritual (love, compassion, kindness, honesty, wisdom, justice, &c). Science is the greatest complement to a spiritual susceptibility.

These professors shouldn't be allowed to fuck each other at conferences

First time viewer here - fantastic interview, and thank you for keeping this discussion going! Its so sad to hear about Sabine's experiences, but not surprising. The continued discrimination, commercialization and enshittification of the "academic world" has been a severe blow to humanity.

Publish-or-perish, very interesting!

Once I start my engine, I already knew, all hidden camera , audio, clandestine surveillance. Trust me I already know

When u do a good coordination , its too easy to notice, do natural

What is the artwork from the thumbnail, please?

that thumbnail should win an award

Is this what religion is about ? god damn. That's pretty interesting.

bla bla bla

this what i was thinking and i didnt even read the book 😁

Hellllll no I am not understanding this without reading the book

Zizek isn't a psychoanalyst. He's not a psychiatrist. Lacanian's are not psychoanalysts. Zizek is a boutique philosopher. An establishment's lapdog. A token foreigner to the western elite. He has no backbone.

Godel expresses wff's in odd numbers every number is prime relative to its own base n = n(n/n)=n(1_n) (primes do not include division by other numbers) Goldbach's Conjecture "every even number is the sum of two primes" n + n = 2n Godel's expression does not include even numbers in his defintion of wff's - they are therefore "undecidable" (o + e) = o is always odd so is undecidable because of the existence of even numbers (e+e) = e (o and e are sets of numbers). Note that the product of differing powers of prime numbers is zero, since the graphs of x^m and x^n only intersect at x = 0 so (x^n)(x^m) = 0. (the reason powers form a basis in polynomial space). Proof of Fermat"s Theorem for Village Idiots c = a + b c^n = [a^n + b^n] + f(a,b,n) (Binomial Expansion) c^n = a^n + b^n iff f(a,b,n) = 0 f(a,b,n) <> 0 c^n <> a^n + b^n QED Pythgoras is wrong, Fermat is correct even for n = 2. Someone go tell the physicists (Especially Einstein and Pauli) and also for multinomials (tell the cosmetologists..) (Hint: Wiles had to use modular functions, which are only defined on the positive half of the complex plane.) there are no negative numbers: -c= a-b, b>a iff b-c=a, a >0, a-a = 0, a=a if there are no negative numbers, there are no square roots of negative numbers. The ""complex" plane is affine to the real plane (1^2 <> 1, sqr(1^2) = 1 <> 2qr(1) (Russsell's Paradox; a number can't both multiply and not multiply itself). more on this on the physicsdiscussionforum (dot org)

Zizek doesn't take the position that "science is just a narrative" and that "reality is whatever we make it with our words". Recently, he uses the example of computer games that in them the world is somehow "unfinished" in that there are low resolution places where we can't go and that the "unfinished world" is a good way to think about reality.

Brilliant idea! Thank you a lot, man! And, please, complete this journey til the end! In general this is great idea to approach another top books on Java and beyond.

Omg. According to Thagards wiki article and the full interview, he is supposed to be strongly influenced by pragmatism and Peirce. It's hilarious and shows how people from cognitive science often lack competence in basics of information theory and statistcs in general, which is nothing else than a realisation of abductive inference (basically since conditional probability / Bayes rule says nothing else in the form of hypothesis testing). Thagard is a very good example of typical hegemonic relativism and gate-keeping strategies in philosophy and science, a non-explanatory tirade that just covers opinion (relevance theory by Sperber / Wilson is of the same kind, to give another example). As a student I am more and more disgusted that a rather privileged crowd of academics are more occupied in performing a kind of habitus, for which they constantly asks for confirmation, instead of providing transparent argumentation... I am angry at this not because he is critizing Friston or so, but apparently he seems to actual have the tools to understand something he calls bogous (again, since he writes about abductive reasoning etc., which is what the FEP represents; same fallacy in relevance theory - mere gate-keeping, since his coherence concept appears to not differ much or at all conceptually from what active inference or the FEP says - that is what is bogous). The same attitude can be found in stats: people that can't properly define and explain p-values, but give you a lecture in p-hacking etc. Academics is rotting away in attitudes of pseudo-differentiation and habitus approval... I also like his desciption of Bayes and its boundaries, after talking about abduction, which in my opinion represents very well the problems which a human has, trying to perform inference via mere abductive inference (which at the end just means: every inference we make is probabilistic, as it just represents the inferential modality of contingency of inference, since we do not have absolute knowledge, where every inference can be represented as necessity modally (either 0 or 1, not in between))... St.Sch.

Climate change isn't true

i don't really know anything, but here's my comment: how can we think that capitalism doesn't cultivate and manage all knowledge in order to benefit and perpetuate itself when all human knowledge heretofore was controlled by whatever system that had power over humanity at any time in our history? I mean, whatever dominant belief system that has power is the one that establishes whatever "truth" happens to be.

Add timestamps please

These ideas vindicate my core experiences of love and help me to release the sterilized versions of love imposed by castrated self-help gurus. Love and pain are thoroughly amalgamated.

KKKKKKK

inteeeeeresting. thums up.

great chat, but you didn't have to go so hard on pronouncing the man's last name

I don't appreciate the view of LGBT-people as the inherent "other" of Christianity. I'm queer and i'm christian and it is very tiring to be cast out of the faith, on the one side by vile transphobes and on the other side by paternalistic, well-meaning people treating you like an immature idiot. Discovering the faith was indeed a sad day for me in retrospect. Why is it not even worth a thought to consider transidentity or different sexual orientations as not inherently sinful? Universalism was exiting in the beginning for me, but now it shows itself to be just a lazy way to delay justice into the infinite.

really like your channel man keep up

sam bro i have question from you ..Is fetishization come in falling in love . if not why it does not come in love?

Empirical evidence does not explain the whole world (universe). It is about one aspect present in the entanglement. Like the stone is heavy because of gravity. Without gravity it would not be heavy. So weight does not explain the whole universe. If you want to know more. You should inspect the background. Why is there gravity and why does it not always count in measurement.

Capitalism isn't an ideology, its an economic susyem. You dont need to create capitalism, you just need to protect individual property rights and enforce contracts (you need to ensure that people honour agreementa they've made with one another) and what we call capitalism emerges naturally once those conditions are established. A set of ideas are needed in ordee to create the conditions that allow capotalism to emerge but capitalism in its self is notna set of idras, its an observable phenomena. Some people might have ideas about capitalism but that doesn't make capitalism an ideology (theyre usially actually talking about commodification, which is something that can happen in the minds of people who live in capitalist, or socialist economies. Cronyism isn't capitalism either neither is corporatism).

rubbish

Žižek is a huge reason why I ditched my Environmental Studies major last semester. I was just absolutely disillusioned with how compatible “university-discourse ecology” is with all the worst aspects of the capitalist job market. It used the language of transgression and positive impact to keep things comfortably as they are 😒

You CAN'T end in ADHD, after "burnout," it is a neurodevelopmental type, present from early childhood.

ADHD is a neurological, genetic, inherited, "neurotype". It is extremely real; one does not simply develop ADHD later in life. I have "ADHD", always have, it isn't cool, it isn't not cool, it is what it is. It doesn't come from wanting to "optimise". Because of an inability to regulate attention, the ADHD brain is wired in a less sequential fashion. I.e. big picture thinking and connection, is favoured over details or an ability to follow details. People with ADHD, when moving into adulthood, do have a need for divergent sources of stimulation, i.e. entrepreneurism is very attractive to the ADHD mind. Such a stance, is delivered through not being told what to do or stay in one place (as it is uncomfortable). Being in a "CEO" position provides many small novel problems to be constantly handled VS. Detailed sequential iterations of solidified positions in the workplace. Please don't confuse the modern person lacking attention due to technological addiction and a neurological divergence. Such confusion is moving backwards in a lack of understanding ADHD.

who are those people standing next to me?

Horror or not, it is an important part of life, especially in love. When you experience something like this, you understand more what you feel. Especially over time, when you understand the importance of the loss. If you have never felt this way, then what is the point of living? Pain is like hope, otherwise life is sad. I like my pain, it gives me hope for the future, which I hope will happen someday.

"Hey [rahul]! Just wanted to drop by and say how much I admire your work. Your videos never fail to spark my curiosity and enrich my understanding of diverse topics. Would love to see a video on schizoanalysis from your perspective in the future! Keep up the fantastic content!"

No way 😊 That's radical 😅

@7:49, you confused yourself. obj is of type Integer. Hence it is NOT an instanceof String. A String would be an instanceof Object but not the other way round.

If I didn't oversee something, you code to check for null @15:30 only works for Null objects or objects, where a == is sufficient. <pre> class MyType { public boolean equals (Object other) { if (! (other instanceof MyType mt)) return false; else return this == mt; } } MyType mt1 = new MyType (); MyType mt2 = new MyType (); mt1 == mt2; mt1.equals (mt2); </pre> This (equivalent) code returns false for both comparisons, the one with equals and the one with ==. In general I think it is a very bad idea to ask a LLM to produce code, unless you do exhaustive tests on the results. These LLMs generate new code from lots of old code they have seen, but they remix this code in unpredictable ways. On the baseline, they don't understand anything from programming or the real world, they only produce output which looks as if.

At 12:30 you're wrong when talking about Strings. The s1.equals (s3) does not use the definition of equals as given in the class Object. If it did, it would obviously return s1.equals (s3) as false since it would use the most restrictive interpretation of equals as you just cited about 3 minutes ago, which is s1 == s3. Instead, equals is overriden in the class String and this method is called and it DOES a content comparison, not a memory address comparison as the default method in Object does. I guess you did understand this, but got confused while explaining it. @22:00 you say, that there is never the desire to compare 2 regular expressions for equivalence. Well, given you are a teacher for regular expressons and pupil may submit their regex to solve a quest in an exam, it would be nice to have a proven solution and to automatically compare the solutions, given by the pupils, whether they are equivalent. I guess there are only few things which would be more useful than such equal method. But I don't think there is a reliable way to write such an equal method. It seems to me, that you would need to be able to solve the halting problem first. ;)

Psychoanalysts need to stay far far away from autistic people
