What it means to be human in situations different from one's own.

de Beauvoir ❤❤❤

Existentialism exists in lived experience

I read mostly fiction and poetry.❤

Keep asking questions you don't know the answer to

Curiosity...learning is active. If it is worth something it will be difficult. The process more than the goal...how❤❤❤

Wonderful !❤🌹

I am so excited for this Natalie!! ❤❤❤❤. I am so grateful for this group and all the amazing existential sharing and insight

Wonderful! Thanks !🌹

For me it's a great pleasure to discover people like Dr. Martin Adams with authentic thinking, in a continuous search for something new, interesting and important, in search of questions, which even if they don't have answers open the human curiosity to know. Wonderful interview done by the generous and delicate Dr. Natalie Fraser with a free-thinking man .Thanks to both of you ! Eva

Existence building❤❤

Existentialism is more about human experience and living...than academia

Reflecting on the big questions...me too

Reflecting on the big questions...me too

Existentialism is about living, how one lives more than talking about it.❤

Genial.

Interesting that he associates the skinhead punk appearance with someone not being a lecturer or philosopher, when OG punk bands were lecturing on politics as a default vocal style. Now when I see a shaved head in combination with a European sounding accent it mostly raises concerns about potentially questionable ideas about immigration and cultural puriteehee heh awww I made myself sad

Excellent, really interesting to learn more about Southeast Asia existential experience

❤

Naming and taking out and seeing takes back power

Wonderful!❤❤ A great holistic perspective on a healing life

"the back side of a sad face". That is so brilliant. Great workshop!

❤❤❤

Thank you very much for that. Very helpful, i wish I could send this video to a teenage me 💜

great interview ❤

Natalie, your conversation with Kevin Aho about existentialism was incredibly enlightening! The idea of "trivializing the trivial" and focusing on what truly matters was so profound. I've sent you a DM on Instagram. Keep sharing these amazing insights! 🌟

There is no way out of this tension. Find an honest way to live within the existential experience of living. Don't look for or expect it to be different.❤

In response to Søren Kierkegaard’s theory on personal despair. I see despair above all as an expression of powerlessness. You want things to be different from what they are or are going to be, but you don’t have the power to achieve that (fighting poverty or corruption, wanting to be a different person yourself, you name it). Or you want to understand something (e.g. our ‘being’, the origin of the universe, the mathematical code), but you have reached your intellectual ceiling. I don’t know if the struggle with that can eventually lead to becoming completely one with yourself, because I don’t know what that means, but in the end it’s all about learning to deal with it and accepting your own limitations, without getting bogged down in frustrations.

What it means to be human... The Parmenidean principle that “all is one” goes much deeper than the paradoxical consequence Parmenides himself attached to it, namely that all claims of change or of non-Being are illogical. It also goes deeper than Heidegger’s existentialism which goes back to this principle. From a human perspective, this “oneness” refers to the earth and everything on it and in it. Over the centuries, man has slowly broken this unity. The consequences have been disastrous.

Why does pessimism exist as a structural phenomenon? Because we are born as human beings and die after a while. There is no intrinsic meaning attached to all that. Optimism in the sense intended here can only be derived by man from his own imagination. A fantasy with which he creates a “Hinterwelt” (Nietzsche). But the question remains how strongly man can continue to believe in his own fantasy.

Glad that I never attended this man's classes

Prof.Aho obviously hasn’t solved ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ If he had he would not make the claim ‘that God does not exist.’ It would be more accurate for him to say he does not BELIEVE that God exists. Without understanding Consciousness, what it is it is presumptuous and premature to say God does not exist.

Christ said it first: Die to yourself in order to live.

Our freedom, our free will, is in order for us to align ourselves with Reality. That is the purpose of the ego. The purpose of the ego is not to do everything stupid in existence as a way of exercising our free will egotistically and blindly to no purpose other than ego gratification.

We should have more people like this, who question. We would have a better world. Most people sleep walk through life. We should have time apart from our duties to spend on philosophy, even if it is not our career. Philosophy is necessary for everyone who does not want to be just another member of the herd but instead contribute something positive. I am not a fan of the Existentialists, the way they lived their lives was not exactly praise worthy. We need something transcendent and absolute to set our boundaries, otherwise we are just egocentric bores. On the other hand ‘the unexamined life is not worth living.’

56:11 what is your outlook on misdiagnosis of psychosis? This is depthful unimaginable experience bringing an individual to the barrier of breaking or folding, to be gentle about the severity.

Thank you both for this opportunity to listen. 🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵

The fact that I'm the first comment proves it

I'm just going to let you know you ruined the video within the first few minutes

💩

Such an interesting video to watch and reflect on. Thank you. I love the embracing of uncertainty; that feels authentic. Perhaps a key is to do this in awareness that we may feel unsure or conflicted in what to do or say and we can speak this. In relationship I feel the most wonderful place to reach is to be able to express this dilemma with love, care and respect.

I just discovered Professor Lewis Gordon 👍🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❣️

What is existential freedom? Sartre espoused that "Freedom is EXISTENCE and in it existence precedes essence". His version of freedom was an opposition against authoritarianism of any kind, which must include the kind of medical authoritarianism we have often seen in history. And so, just like the stoics we are free to choose how we respond to that which is our facticity, 'givens' and it would be 'bad faith' to ignore that responsibility. The task for the therapist and client alike, is to acknowledge what is given and to choose our freedom to respond to it.

Such wisdom.

"If I can't explain it to a 10-year-old child, then maybe I don't really understand it." Brilliant

Your spectacles, shirt, computer and video camera are all the product of white, eurocentric, European intelligence and values. Be grateful.

Thank you beautiful soul for I humbly need your content right at the moment. I'm so humbly grateful for you friendly energy as well.❤✨
