🔴#Sartre : #Imagination #studywithme

hi we're live again um reading and annotating heagle biography whoa that's intense would you mind sharing after like what you come up with because that would be really cool um oh yeah so I'm supposed to introduce myself hi I'm wannie um thank you for coming again how many are we eight wow okay hi um so bit distracted end of the semester I tried to think about what's the important thing to kind of debrief today and I have only like four bullet points so it should be okay um yeah let's get after it dude let's go no I I just sent an email to one of my tutors asking for questions because I have a presentation coming up next week and it's it's it's like DIY because it's like sociology and it's not really the clearest thing sociology but yeah okay we're here so uh first off I published my first paper yesterday which is really exciting um thank you again to Joshua who made it really pretty and uh for Jordan for all the support um I know a lot of people wouldn't really be interested in it because Vicken Stein is kind of Niche but extremely original and besides being Niche I I say niche in terms of if I compare like khant or sath um but he's not n obviously for people who are obsessed with logic kind of like I am um but yeah know it was just like a huge moment so just want to shout out Joshua and Jordan again um something that I'd like to ask though is if in the future bilingual papers would be interesting to anyone because I know a lot of people are also looking at my channel not only for either philosophy or French uh but it's just something that I need to know because I don't want to make things that no one cares about and because it takes time so it's good to know but I think I'll ask that like over time if it's something interesting for you um that being said after today's floww I'm gonna announce kind of like book club I don't have I thought I had my piece of paper with me with book club but this is something else this is like my notes for Aesthetics so I don't actually have the exact thing but I can tell you what authors you're going to see which books we're going to go through dates and everything I need to write them down but I will type it out after H we have to name my little guy so I was thinking oh hi Charlie how's it going um thank you for coming back okay so uh where was I yeah we need to name my machine um Joshua and I were talking and maybe Luca could be nice because it's like Lulu is cute but when it's annoying we call it Kaka which is poop in French uh but that's something to be voted on after uh but yeah so at the end of the live uh today I will kind of just like briefly talk about which authors that we'll be looking at and this is your final chance to maybe convince me to do something else even though I'm pretty stuck on a few of them and one of it's Spinosa and the other one is um wow how do I not remember this Spinosa heiger oh well well if I if I start now then I have to tell you everything but Spinosa is definitely one that I'm stuck on that we're definitely definitely doing so yeah I guess um if no one else wants to share what they're working on we're kind of early by like five minutes but yeah I think that's kind of it unless we have something else Joshua do you have anything else to add at all because we have five minutes um I guess I'll make a name my robot Luka or I guess we can do James team effort should I name um should I name the robot Luca or uh James okay um I feel Luca nice we're we're kind of on the same page so uh again if you're just joining us because we're 11 now if uh if it's good we call it Lulu and if it's annoying call it Kaka um there was something else that I would like to say but I completely forgot and it's not in my head right now so I guess oh yeah no in French we don't say Lucas Lucas would be English yeah so here we call it Luca and luuka is kind of like um this little boy that I met who's extremely adorable with like Giant Eyes so yeah but he's he's adorable so Luka okay I feel like I'm missing something but it's not a big problem because I can always recap after so we might as well start now with like four minutes of me saying where I'm at with the book I'm at exactly where I ended last week which is completely confused well not completely confused because as we talked about like you know we Advanced from hsal from dayart to hsal to uh s and this week it's the leg system leg system metaphysic the great the great the grand metaphysical systems and yeah like I mean I read the first few lines and it talked about day cart so I'm G to see what happens with that and I guess I'll update you I can't promise that I'll go through a lot of it because I talked to Brian and Brian actually went through a lot of it like he went through three chapters I don't think I'll get that far but we'll see so yeah uh again there is a playlist in the description if you're interested and if it's something that you need for today and I'll talk to you in about an hour and a half if you have any questions or anything that's of interest to you you can send them whenever throughout the chat I won't be seeing them but joshia will be and Joshua will send them to me

y'all doing what are we talking about oh yeah ha Ryan is tell me if your name is not Ryan dude like I was like you guys are going to be so upset with the recap cuz um I was bored like I was so bored I would have like dropped the book if I wasn't on live um like I If you if you like you know been through my channel a little bit you'd see that like the video that I have on is uh yeah um and I adore this book I used it a lot last semester for literature it's really really really great really really really interesting and when I actually like well at least for me and I talked to a friend about it I'm like have you read it it's so amazing and she was like she's like I wasn't that impressed and I'm like ah she just didn't get it and now like I read I mean I put it all the way here but I read I read it and I was like H you know okay so before I like continue I'm going to okay 7 76 people like Luca so you're named Luca now thank you for voting I'm gonna break this into three parts uh a four parts and then you can stay for whichever one interests you and I'm obviously Gonna Leave the part that I think people are not very interested in to the end but I think it's interesting for people who it might interest okay I'll get to it so the first part is yeah I'll talk about how bored I was and why I was bored and at least it's honest right I'm not GNA be like someone who's just like oh I read it and it's sat and it was like amazing and I chatted to Josh a little bit and he was like he was like you guys are on Sat as well I was like I can join like wait for me um okay so that's part one part two I'll talk about the book for next week I'll announce the book for next week I thought I was going to do I was like maybe people would be really interested in a paper that I could write about him maybe I could learn I'm not going to invest more time on him at this point um okay and then the third part where was my third part my third part I will announce book club like the books that are going to go into book club really briefly I'll type it out tonight or tomorrow but you guys will be the first to know what's in it if you're interested in coming during summer and the last thing I'll talk about kind of like where I'm kind of at in philosophy it's just like yesterday I went to the library to read and like you know just to well read and get knowledge and stuff and like it just it just hit me in a certain way and I thought I'd share it for anyone that's like interested because I think you know I don't feel like I'm talking to anyone who's like in in philosophy right now maybe it's something that is interesting to you because it's not something that you do for school 9 to5 uh as a professor you can let me know if that's something that you are doing because that would be interesting but uh yeah just so that you can kind of hear my experience of where I'm at with it after doing it for basically at the point of finishing my second year um in a month where I'm at and kind of like my preoccupations for next year and kind of like the future with that and I I am a kind of person I am the kind of person to really thinks super forward um The Bu okay I thought someone's going to say if there's a student or not at a university but yeah so um where was I basically like yeah I thought I would just give a bit of a idea of where I'm at with that so leave where you want to leave um let me start in my first part again of yeah I was extremely bored like the thing about well philosophy in general right it's like how do I say this you know there's like fiction and fiction a lot of times like I think like we read it because we kind of want to know what's happening or like what will happen or in a situation what I would do I think the best memory or example that I have of this is like when I was learning German um before I came to Paris because I was I was moving to brillin for like a few months and I'm like I should learn a better of German and I did a class on science fiction and the tutor basically said like why are learning science fiction and yeah everyone like gave their reasons and he's just like he's like no it's so that we know what to do in the case of like an apocalypse and I was like that's interesting and and then like you know I I've written a lot about like how literature is kind of a way towards a different kind of Truth and then that's why like poetry and philosophy are so intertwined like Bren and all that stuff but more than just Bren um it's a basically philosophy is probably the thing that keeps Philosophy from becoming a a complete science uh a complete like dogmatic uh institution in my opinion at this point so yeah when I say like you read philosophical works I you know you take it in a grain of salt like you look at their method method and you look at like how they're trying to explain things and even with heiger I read the essence of Truth and it was like interesting and really it's just like you know when you get into like phenomenology I'm just like at what point is it just them just hashing like as in just like their theories on things that and yes metaphysics it's the whole point is like it's beyond the physical it's like certitude I mean certainty and all that stuff it's like reading reading this stuff like even at the end it's just kind of like what are you trying to say bro like it's like um but image is a certain type of Consciousness an image is an act another thing image is the consciousness of something okay okay and I don't think like everything has to be practical but I think one of the things that really draws me to like Vicken Stein and Spinosa is like there's a sense that they're just trying to describe the order of things or the way things are and then it comes into the implications of why things are in in comparison to like so far what I'm reading from heidinger is kind of like it feels so prescriptive it feels so like no you're looking at things wrongly and um I'm about to like skip to like another section but I'll try to keep it like in order but I'm just kind of like disillusioned a little bit when I'm reading like because okay again I really like what is literature okay um lcas being Kaka I think this is okay I mean um Joshua can tell me afterwards if uh would you consider yourself more an analytical philosopher um I'll let you define for me what you think analytical means um because technically that is a job of philosopher in general so I'll let you define that because I know I said like a 15-second time limit uh just so that it's easier to mod for Joshua so while you answer that uh try to recover my thoughts so again I really like that one chapter I read in being in nothingness and again I really adored like what is literature but reading this it's like you know we read like The dart's meditations and H's arguments are so much so much more I wouldn't even say like convincing but like you read it and you you you feel like the solidity of his arguments whereas like with this it was just kind of like a recounting and I I'll just I'll say it now I was gonna I was planning to say this in my fourth section but the idea of originality is so it's so like important to me now in terms of originality I asked Theo once what's the difference between creation and transformation because you know you could say like nothing comes from nothing but then when you read Burks and then you realize that nothing comes before creation yet with transformation there's something that comes before transformation so with originality in the library yesterday I was just so disillusioned because like I'm looking at books on Notions and they're the same copies of books that were printed maybe like 50 years ago and ones that were printed like I don't know last year and honestly the one that was printed from last year is so how would you say it like someone's just trying too hard like for me originality is not so much like let me put a new spin on something just so that it feels new and fresh but like originality for me is like kind of like looking closer and really questioning what it is that we we think is it it's more like more details instead of like trying to be revolutionary and something that could be revolutionary because there's a new detail to it I don't know if like what I'm saying has a clear enough Nuance but it's like the goal is not to literally shake up the world and like create this revolutionary point of view but the fact that you see things in a deeper way like for me originality is like you know we have like where we come from and then you dig really deep and then that's like profoundness and then you find originality because like how far does it go compared to like you're you have like you know oh this is where we're at let me just like have a different perspective or a viewpoint and then you call that original for me for me like that's how I feel about the newer versions of Notions like I was looking at um illusion I was looking at like I don't know what else did I look at uh imagination contemplation and there was this one about like tragedy that I will put back into the fourth point if I remember but that was really interesting that that book of Notions was like from freaking 50 years ago and how he delineates from tragedy to other Concepts was really interesting and I don't know maybe it's original to me because it's the first time I'm seeing it but this is not the first time I'm looking at terms but it's it's original in terms of its U profoundness and its depth and not so much like just oh I'm just going to take a new look at something so that's why I found it really boring um sat's book because it just seemed like a critique on something in a very superficial way wasn't really building on anything and it didn't really give M and maybe this book wasn't meant for that but this is why this book particularly Bor um I don't know if I would Define analytic as doing it doing it with what you got like philosophy of the tip of the iceberg of that which you know for sure um I don't really understand your definition because analytical does not mean something that you know for sure analytical just means that you how would you say this like we were told that like you know to critique something is to analyze it to pull it apart so that you can put it back together you you look at its different parts but to say that like analytical it's just because you are you are only looking at something that you are sure of because the thing is like with logic if you you know if you're ever inclined to check out the wi and sign paper again it's it's very Niche and very specific but I think it like answers a lot of different questions because again it doesn't delineate so much of life and art and it talks a lot about how Aesthetics is something that's completely different from all the other forms of Sciences like psychology even philosophy and even logic so in that way it's like when you I guess if you want to say like anal antical instead of metaphysical because analytical is just like an attitude I don't think like analytical you'd say that it is about logic or something that is mathematical or something that is like you know 100% clear and definitive or geometrical and metaphysical I also don't think that it's you know even close to Mystical I think like right now I have a feeling about like the delineations that you're making but I don't think that they're accurate so I can't answer it um is everything what French philosophy is not basically philosophy of language see this is this is why it's important to ask for definitions because I don't see the delineations in those ways like I don't for me like but maybe maybe you know this is like an actual term that I'm just not aware of when I think of like analysis I think that is part of philosophy in general and I I've never I mean at least like at school I've never come across uh analytical philosophy as like its own thing originality is great so long as it it's not divorc from the truth oh yeah well I'm glad we agree but then it's like what what does it mean like divorce from the truth because like just because it's like a perspective like if something is subjective does it mean that it's not true so what does it mean like originality as in like if it doesn't distort the truth is that what you're saying but then okay I'm gonna like do this other SE thing but um I was like wondering why my teor decided like why he my my T phenomenology like why he decided to go uh the route of hsel and heiger and not um French uh French ex French existentialism and French uh feminology phenomenology and uh what what was I trying to say about this yeah and like um one of the person that he study is actually French which is called like Jean Luke Marion and I picked up a few of his books from the library yesterday and there was this one thing that just made me go like okay I'm really interested to see what this guy has to say is because like at the back it said that like oh my gosh can we Zoom back out no no not closer okay um what he said sorry so many moving Parts okay um what he said is just like with phenomenology you're more interested with the possibilities than the the the actualities and again I'm very skeptical and really cool thing about my professor himself he's also still really skeptical about haiger um which I think like you know if you're a philosopher you need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable because if not then you fall into dogmatism but yeah in saying that like I'm very I'm very like interested in what the norm is and what the truth is and that's why possibilities to me is more interesting than actualities and not falling into this simplification of the actual being the real and that's what I want to say about that um what was my next Point okay I guess oh yeah I'll just announce next week's book then so we're dropping South I thought I was going to keep him but we're going to drop him and we're actually gonna look at well this is the German copy so if I show it to you it's not GNA really much sense but anyway I mean it's it's it's a nice cover so it's um hiders uh Uber then humanism so it's letter to human letter on humanism and it's a response to sat um humanism is existentialism I read like the first page it was interesting because it started talking about action what it means to act and yeah like I also like I I barely know heidig girl but I already have a lot of critiques like I was reading again like the essence of Truth and then one one passage I went and I looked at it and oh gosh go away no wrong way um I was looking at like this passage on um the essence of truth I'm still too zoomed in luuka you're being a okay so much better so I reached a certain point and I looked at it and I was just like I don't even know how to describe it it's not because like it's not legitimate in terms of like they have established their points to get them to say what they've said but then you're looking it well I'm looking at it I'm just going like okay like what what are you what are you like what is the point of what it is that you're trying to say and I'm not saying that in terms of like utility um as in like everything needs to mean something to use something to do something about it but it's just once I figure out how to articulate this form of I don't want to say rhetoric then I'll come back to you so that's next week's um plan for book club um so we're doing Chinese philosophy first and I know some are rejoicing and some are confused but let me just say I don't have my teer book with me but I read the introduction in the first chapter and it's super interesting because she's my professor for uh logic of Aristotle so she has this thing where it's like basically because I'm really into phenomenology now even though I have a lot of CRI about it uh which I'll explain why in my fourth part if I remember but basically like because she is so well versed in the in like the argonon uh or logic of Aristotle sorry it's really interesting to see I wouldn't see that like how Ox like Oriental philosophy just kind of like it it just like got sassy at some point because basically she said like based on the IC of Aristotle they can't so it's like subject um um subject like it's like subject is like sratus is a man or like sratus is Greek and the thing is is that like with the word is the problem with ental philosophy is that they can't differentiate between identity and predication so um Greek is a predication but oh gosh Greek is a predication but um like like man is ident um identification so like Socrates is a man but his predicate is that he is Greek like he's he's like he's not the term Greek but he is the man so because of that issue like not because of that issue but it's just like it's something that is um confronting for people in um ocidental philosophy compared to Oriental philosophy that does not have this issue because we don't even have the word or being in Chinese so because of that there's a different formulation or a different way of attacking what it reality is because in the end like philosophy whether it's from the accident or it's Oriental it is the question of what is so yeah like hopefully that's interesting to you because it is for me um and yeah it's just it's just really interesting because again it's not you know in isolation on its own world but it is from a lens of a Chinese Professor who is very well- versed in Aristotle so I thought that you know could be fun and spicy and the two things would be Buddhism is it nihilism or phenomenology I think that's really interesting I haven't read it yet and but the first two chapters that I read are super interesting or at least the way that she says it because she's such a great Professor because she's super clear maybe there are like one or two times like like when she defined in the book that uh to know is to actually know the totality of something without error it's an interesting definition of what to know is whether or not like this is the same thing with like heidig girl or that thing that I read you can make a definition like that but there's something else that needs to be done for it to be accepted or at least like when I read something for me to accept that definition and maybe it's a it's a case of like myself like I have a different definition of what to know means but in any case like um outside of that one remark that she made a lot of other things that she makes are extremely insightful um and the second one would be Confucianism learn to become human so I don't know if you know this but like in Chinese philosophy uh there's so much to say and I'm kind of like over time uh so I guess uh I might I might keep that um for myself but all I'm going to say is that like we don't have this separation as you do in the accident I'm just assuming that most of my viewers are Americans because that's what my data tells me on um The Studio YouTube studio app um but yeah like we don't have that reflexivity because we don't we don't question things I guess or we don't think or we're not a culture that does that not not saying that Chinese people are stupid like you know I have a lot of friends from China that are really smart um but there's no distance because there's not as much reflection but then on the other hand like ocidental philosophy half the time people are just like oh it's on this pedestal and no one can relate to it anyway so then why have philosophy in the first place um okay so the second month which is June it's going to be ethics uh on Spinosa the fourth and fifth book uh certitude and then Freedom something that I've really wanted to finish for a really long time and the holidays are the only time I get to do that and then in July it's going to be philosophical investigations of philosoph um un I asked my German tutor and she explained it well but I forgot how to pronounce it but philosophical investigations of wienstein um it's something apparently that it it kind of like encapsulates most of his thinking uh in a way I don't know I'll find out um and I'm G to try to read it with the German copy which is behind my flask and then the fourth uh month uh is August and it's going to be heiger and I know I wrote that it was supposed to be un uh which is um on the way to language but it's one of his more it's like one of his like seminal works but I think it's better to go back to foundations or at least the foundations that my tutor told me about so I'll be reading like his two other essays um which is one um what is metaphysics and the other one is Plato's doctrine of Truth so then I think it could also be helpful for you if you're not as well versed in haiger like I'm not well versed in haiger so to start with the fundamentals and then you know at a later date maybe attack one of his bigger works so that is um part three um but I will write this all out try to figure out dates um thank you again to Joshua for being available during summer if you guys are joining us uh please thank Joshua because I would not make I would not do lives if I didn't have them body so um part four so this is going to be like kind of rambly but I'll try to keep it in 10 minutes but it's kind of like GNA be where I'm kind of at with philosophy I don't know it's like it's still something that like I can't imagine doing anything else but I think this is like an honest relationship with philosophy as in I'm not going like oh it's this great greatest thing in the world and there's no calms and there's no issues uh about it especially when you're doing it like 9 to5 and for me like I read all the time um and I love reading and a lot of my friends are like we do this a bit too much too much philosophy but for me like I I genuinely enjoy it but I'm just going to say like yesterday it really like struck me um it really struck me oh also Joshua Could you um I don't know maybe maybe pick three because I'm after I'm done like with this part I'm just going to read like three questions or four um and I don't want to do the latest ones but just whichever ones you think are interesting could you please like post them on uh could you please post them on Discord and then I'll just answer three of them after I'm done with this part about where I'm at with philosophy please thank you um I can't see if you're responding but I hope you heard me um yeah so yesterday at the library I was looking like I said like all these all these like books on definitions and Notions and I was just like so disillusioned I was just I was like I was like what are we doing what is everyone doing like I feel like we're getting further and further away from like what it is we're trying to or at least the books that I'm picking up just makes me feel like we're getting further and further away from what it is we're trying to do philosophy which is like to explain things and it was so like nauseating like reading all these like like verbose information oh yeah like like all these verbose information just said in different ways and sometimes it's like you know follow like the advice of like fakenstein or anyone just like if if it's not something that is worth saying it's like it's okay you don't have to make your own iteration about something um just because you know we have this pause between something that was written that was really good and now there is like this idea of like reinterpretation to kind of like you know we evolve as people and like as as like a society we evolve and then philosophy you know is is alongside us right because we didn't have technology like we did we did um like the technology we have now it's not something that we had back then so obviously our relationship to life and our relationship to people around us with this this new I don't know if you want to call technology being but this new atmosphere yeah there are new thoughts to be had there new there new like discoveries of like what we thought it means to be human with something that is new but yeah it was just it was just really like frustrating for me like there was this one book that was about 50 years old and it's like about tragedy and I really liked it because it said that tragedy umer so it is an experience that is naked and brutal because it constraints existence to um in a p like a test that um uh at um to a limit that is bearable and it's like a tragic thought is an attentive um attentive thought that is um that of of a contradiction yeah of a contradiction that constitutes The Human Condition and it said that like man unsatisfied man so this is about like knowledge and it's like L man only really exists unsatisfied with his so the practical description of like what knowledge is so like if you're smart you would do these practical things is that knowledge or or or done like gives gives uh yeah orders orders each to moderate their Pro their own desires and to like refrain so that so that they can have a place in the world without destroying themselves like that is so interesting to me like how knowledge is this thing that enables us to be in this world without destroying ourselves and yeah like the newer the newer conceptions was just very um frustrating oh no Joshua that's not true that's too much okay um did you I'm just checking if you wrote the questions down because I'm almost done ring okay yeah he said that I kind of like took uh I answered like most of the questions um if there's nothing else I think we can chow oh yeah I guess there's one more thing I want to mention so I'll mention this and then I'll check the chat one more time and then we can chow but the reason why like I'm really thinking a lot about uh philosophies because like at some point next semester uh what's necessary is to kind of like pick like we've always done this like we we always have like subjects to choose from and like you know how I picked like brickson instead of pescal how I picked like phenomenology against something else how I picked like the logic of Aristotle instead of like the metaphysics like his metaphysics you know you've already made all these choices but as you like get further and further in you're making more and more choices and then obviously you have to think about like what you want specialize in and then I'm looking at a lot of professors like kind of like you know defending undefendable like undefendable philosophers and it's just something really important because you're gonna spend years on this guy and like I recently had a conversation with this guy who chose a relatively contemporary philosopher and he was was like isn't it so interesting like this contradiction blah blah blah and I looked at him I'm like I don't see the contradiction and something that I said to Joshua is that like something that I said to Joshua I saw one question which is interesting um something that I said to Joshua is just like once you see certain things like clearly there isn't really much of a contradiction just because like contradictions usually mean that like it's either one or the other and yet if we have both of them that exist technically they're both necessary and technically they don't contradict each other so like especially you know once you've read enough of like Buren and you learn how to like tease out um like the the layers of things that's kind of like you know how I feel about contradictions and also like because I'm extremely into poetry there is uh contradictions is not as scary of a concept and you know I'm saying this as a person who really really really like likes um aristo's logic so yeah it's just a really big decision and obviously like I'm leaning towards like phenomenology but at the same time I just don't want to pick something that I'm reading into and at some point go like well this is boring and I hate this and I don't want to do this because again like that guy like I just said to him I don't see the I don't see the contradiction and he's like like you know all good for you then and I was like it's not a challenge it's just me saying how I feel about how I see things but I think for him because he's invested you know his Masters in researching this guy you know you kind of like get overly invested for not the right reasons and dogmatism um okay so uh okay I see the disagreeing thing but I'm gon to answer the why philosophy I I just thought that like the lives that I was living and I say lives because I lived France is my fourth country that I'm living in and the thing is that when I say like I'm for philosophy it doesn't mean that like you know I think that daily life is boring I just think that daily life like we we we're so detached from it from artifice um you know I saw like a person like um doing like the Hopscotch and it was an adult and I was like oh that's so great and then I realized that he was actually there with like you know a kid and I was just like damn that's so disappointing the fact that he was like he wasn't doing Hot Scotch for himself but it's just because he was playing with a kid um I don't know if this analogy makes sense to anyone else but it's kind of like why live life just cruising not cruising because it's easy but just all these things that science tells us and then this the whole thing about phenomenology it's like imagine a world where you don't you're not held by this idea of certainty it's scary as as but like you're like imagine this whole Avenue of like what things are if you don't have this one criteria that's holding you and fixing you in this one point which is the idea of certainty which by the way we all know doesn't exist so yeah I think like in the end like philosophy is just the only thing that's been really keeping my attention and something that I can work a lot on and feel really good about it and like feel really um energized in a way weird way but yeah that's the best answer I can give about philosophy right now while you're reading oh I disagree contradiction is the only fundamental thing on top of which anything useful can be built you got to open your eyes man this is like this is like you're you're you're kind of stuck with Aristotle at this point and like you know think about art so yeah uh while you're reading a philosophical work are you trying to figure out how the author is thinking and their way to portray his or her thought or are you looking solely to the work you know I really appreciate you using his and her um so small but so so nice um I would say that it's it has to be all of it because for them for you to look at their work you have to understand their logic you have to understand um how they build their arguments and you know with that you understand like their context you understand like where their work sits within the framework what what giant question of philosophy are they asking and then how that fits into what is also being said outside of it um but yeah I I don't think that you can separate any any element you can find like something that feels Universal if that's what you want to say about like what their work is but um I don't think you can understand or work without understand who's writing it or at least like the best that you can and that's the trouble that I'm having with me which is like someone that I'm studying from uh it's like sociology but behaviorism and it's like you know I wouldn't say like I argued with my professor but it was just like there was just like we spent so much time talking about the self as something that has no um emotional stakes and then out of nowhere it's like oh because this the the an individual is so perturbed emotionally they have like a psychotic break and their selves become like multiple personalities and then the interchangeability between like the word personality character and self really bugs me because like you know as as someone who writes like papers and reads papers and all that stuff like the way that you get your arguments it literally starts our axioms our definitions so if you don't have like a clear definition and you're just throwing out words like character doesn't doesn't doesn't count for like you know using the word lovable doesn't count for like it's just like colloquial it's like what are we even building on if everything doesn't count so um yeah I think I answered something I forgot what about but I think I answered something um and yeah uh I'm gonna do two time to get blocked okay weird um trying Andy trying to go to the point by yourself I mean are you trying to understand their process or are you examin the work as it's something separate from I think I answered that I'm also nomadic study uh filo 20 okay bye um study pH 20 years ago in Poland now watching you from New York logic leads me to cloud computing that's interesting um what is cloud computing okay so there's a video math fundamental flaw contradiction is fundamental for logic and anything anything derived from classical logic basically math logical coherent arguments yeah we can't we can't have this debate right now because we're kind of at the end of this but um I would say like I would say like you know um we can take a thing from bash which is like everything is what it is and what it's not and to base anything on one structure and um what you're saying is contradiction I think it's to miss out on the wealth and richness of what knowledge can actually provide us so yeah I hope um you guys found this helpful it's kind of a a bit of a feely flow today but yeah I'll see you next week bye
