You should watch the full interview - ruclips.net/video/EfR92MAV20Q/видео.htmlsi=8bvAinPE9-eztuv5 or read the book. I would love for you to interact more with this question.

Great! Glad you enjoyed it.

😂

Great point! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I don't know if Dr. Pippin has read Marx or not, but I assume he's familiar with those kinds of critiques. I think he's pursuing a different tact here.

I don't think he's unaware of Marx. I think a charitable reading is he's playing up our failure to care about what's truly important to being human.

That has an "Existence precedes essence" vibe. 😂

I would highly recommend watching the entire episode. Dr. Ewara knows exactly what he's saying here. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/rB5lD_0g6jU/видео.html

@@jpan7071 That's wonderful to hear. I think poetry is always welcome, whether discovered old or young.

Thank you for sharing.

He IS hugely influential. I personally think you're in luck. For me, one of the most helpful books on Kant was Hannah Arendt's Lectures on Kant's Political Philosophy. It's 180 pages and relatively digestible. You can find it on Amazon.

@@ChasingLeviathanthank you so much. I’d heard of Kant. I’m just completely clueless. Soon to be remedied. So much reading and learning to be had. My brain will be sore. I gotta pace myself.

There is a series here on RUclips by the Hannah Arendt Center on this very book. A series of seven sections of about one hour each. The stars are aligned. I’ll see if I can get a copy to follow along.

They were contemporaries. I like Hannah Arendt quite a bit. I think you will find her valuable to read.

Classism is an issue too, that boarders/mimics racism through its expressions in society. You can see it in the treatment of the homeless, but the threat of racism by skin color is still there too, so it’s like if you’re not rich, white and popular to “the right people” you are “less than” deserving of humane treatment and equality.

Great questions. I feel like you're using adaptation and stance with a lot of meaning attached, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Cancel culture is partly a response to racism, though it also includes classism and misogyny among other things. The rise of different technologies, specifically the internet, social media, and smart phones has also contributed to cancel culture. Dr. Ewara's point is that while cancel culture may do some good (I think everyone agrees about Harvey Weinstein), we need to watch for how the messaging and actions of cancel culture can twist into something harmful even against the intentions of the people who started and participated in it.

@@ChasingLeviathan early into the interview adaptation’s were mentioned and the way cancel culture has become less about accountability & more about being seen as a person who acts extremely, it seems to have created an entitlement mindset for some people. You see a superiority complex associated with cancel culture that has nothing to do with right information or accountability to correctness, more like angry mob behavior. Is being maga or woke a racial thing when you have such extreme polarization & harsh responses that gain individuals a sense of entitlement? (Sorry, messages are hard to convey this thought train lol) I have no problem accepting that public shaming is a natural response in animals for behaviors that are not useful to the whole group. The human animal pushes it to extremes and then uses that to justify harmful actions though and that is what I find interesting. You could even say cancel culture began when humans started thinking of themselves as superior to other animals. It’s fascinating to me.

@@kariannecrysler640 I totally understand the constraints of RUclips comments, but from what I understand, yes, that is fascinating. The connection to the human superiority complex is also interesting.

@@ChasingLeviathan I’m watching this right now and he kinda touches on the superiority factor in all of this. ruclips.net/video/qw9es0zm6M0/видео.htmlsi=-GV1f3FILP8cRrxt

Thank you! I'm really working on trying to be interdisciplinary.

So, I accept the invitation to “pay attention” by doing something I’ve never ever contemplated (because I was not aware of its existence)- I’ll read an Annie Dillard book. Or two. Or three. And as I read, pay attention to all the guest mentioned (beauty, violence, suffering, etc) and try to make those connections to Simone Weil. I’m currently reading Simone Weil a Short Introduction (the kindle version of the copy she held up for us to see). It’s a wonderful, and indeed, short (but very dense) book. I’ll read it a second time. Take notes. Really pay attention. And then next I’ll read something by Flannery O’Connor. Same thing-never read anything. But I hope that will be remedied soon. What a great segment.Truly.congrats.

@@jpan7071 Congrats to you! I think that's a wonderful thing to do.

Please do me a favor, if you can. Pass along my eternal gratitude to the good doctor for introducing me to Annie Dillard. Her book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is a masterpiece. There is an audio version just released in August 2024 that I can use daily to meditate. I can already see the connections between Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Saint Simone Weil. The timing could not be more perfect. I live in an area where migration of birds and butterflies is simply a marvel to behold at this time of the year. And thank you, as well. I can tell you simply love doing what you do. I’ll watch and listen to the rest of your segments. So many intriguing ones. May I make a suggestion? I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of Father Richard Rohr. He’s a lecturer and author of multiple best selling books. He’s considered a borderline heretic in some circles. Not by me. I simply adore him. Maybe he could be your next guest?

@@jpan7071 I'll do my best on both fronts. 👍

Thank you! I really enjoyed having Dr. Adamson on.

Great thought. Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately, I don't have that answer, though I'm sure Dr. Webster does. It is not the most accessible subject. 😂

@@ChasingLeviathan right lol

Thank you!

Quick question Dr Balbinder UK based or in USA

@@KortinaMusic He teaches at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York.

He was a joy to interview. 😁

Thank you! I really enjoyed it. I often think about that particular point.

Thanks for sharing! 😊

Thank you! That encouragement really means a lot.

Thank you! I really enjoyed it.

It makes more sense in context.

Not where I was going with it, but that's an interesting take.

Thank you! I really enjoyed it.

We definitely didn't. 😂 I try to keep the conversation relaxed and informal and accept the rabbit trails if they're interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! I really enjoyed this conversation with Dr. Clune.

That's a fair question that I don't know the answer to. 😂

Unfortunately, I would say it does. On the other hand, one of my best experiences was reading a book that was way above my current level of knowledge and ability and embracing the struggle till I understood it.

Interesting comment. I think you might enjoy this conversation - ruclips.net/video/0EIGhDZ97fI/видео.html

Interesting take. Thank you for sharing.

@@ChasingLeviathan yw I love commenting on things, throwing ideas out. Fill the space with reflections I guess. Keep up the good work! There's a lot of philosophy here I've never heard about.

@@andrewbreding593 I personally prefer the Hobbit as well. 😁

@@andrewbreding593 I think that's a great take on Tolkien's life and thought.

@@andrewbreding593 Thank you!

Here is the full interview on Tolkien's philosophy of war - ruclips.net/video/vmAOLIqndU8/видео.html I hope you enjoy it!

@@ChasingLeviathan very good timing for that, war philosophy. I bonded with his work heavily as a child. Couldn't read well so I was obsessed with the Hobbit for months and months but then I was ready for LOTR and then...... Eventually the silmarilion. I saw that one clip about the middle earth apocalypse and his son saying it was out of favor. Thank you

@@andrewbreding593 Thank you. We put a lot of effort into this channel. I also read Tolkien a lot as a kid. I loved the Hobbit especially.

It's a good part of the reason LOTR is so beloved.

The historical patterns run deep for sure.

People seem to say that.

I don't follow enough Royal Family stuff to know. 😂
