Christianity, Sci-fi, and the Motives of Credibility
Просмотров 1252 года назад
Why do the epistemic frameworks of science fiction stories seem to introduce crises of credibility for Christianity? Are we moderns taking a wrong approach to storytelling, imagined futures, and religious faith?

Beowulf Part III (See Description)
Просмотров 1232 года назад
Part III of the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf (with light commentary intended to minimize confusion). To issue a correction: In the legend of Sigemund, Fitela is his nephew (and son technically, gotta love that incest angle in pagan stories) and fellow warrior, not his wife. Beowulf omits any reference to the incest as it is found in the Norse story.

This guy saved my ass today I want to thank you so much for doing this love ya bruh❤
Thank you so much for making These
I do think a central theme is the inevitability of sin or fault. even some if the greatest among us, even in our good intents, mess up. And we can learn from that and improve.
This reading is so clutch thank you 🙏
your voice is soothing but mystical and makes paying attention so much easier! thank you!

The idea that the Arab nations are in disarray because of their ethno-religious conflicts is pretty rich. Keeping in mind it was largely the British that declared these disperate factions "nations" in the first place, the U.S. destroyed the stability of Iran, Libya, Iraq and Syria by ousting the secular leaders who resisted neo-liberalism.
Underrated Video
Javanne gets the face that she stuck Atarr with As I understand, the "magic" was the result of the ancient science. Looking at Clarke's Law, that makes sense. Also, I tend to think of THE DYING EARTH as Science Fantasy. The "Fantasy" being the use of either yet undiscovered scientific laws, or whole new sciences rather than magic, sorcery or witchcraft being supernatural in nature. Things like SPACE PATROL are science fantasy I wonder if Cugel is not Liane the Wayfarer (which Cgel describes himself as) is not a redux of Liane I first read this book in 1966 having found an original copy in good condition in our cellar With your references "reductive materialism", "tribalism" and what could be considered the "alt Right" and the practitioners of Trump (who brought that malevolent fringe group, in the person of Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn, into mainstream political activity from the obscurity that ought to have continued) worship, you sound a bit like Ayn Rnad. The funny part of the last group is that they support a political-economic system that, as a basic part of its identity, generates innovation
Thank you!
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much

Listening to this during breakfast before my 9am. Bless you!!!!
I was thinking about related issues with science fiction and the motives for credibility (that's how I've come across your channel). The main motives seem to depend on the recognition of miraculous and prophetic claims of the author of Sacred Scripture. Briefly: the scriptures (and historical criticism thereof) prove the occurrence of miracles and prophecies which only a superhuman power could enable. But science fiction opens the imagination to consider the possibility of beings with far greater power than humans. This itself undermines the credibility of those signs in establishing that the superhuman author must be the god of either natural theology or sacred theology. A being which could far outlive humans and have powers to affect human perception and world history seems possible in science fiction. But that is just a being sufficiently more powerful than us, not the eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent being of theology. He may have already been destroyed in some cosmic event not yet observed by us, for all we know.
Thank you
You helped me so much
10.58 - the beggining of the story
Thanks! We heard about this poem at university but i never read it
Where have you been recently?
I miss him too bro, nothing in the press either.
@@bbgun4158 I haven't been associated with the press before. Still no activity?
@@Talmurid Yes nothing, last post was april 3rd of 2022. He is still a rather new father so I'm expecting that to be the reason for hiatus.

this feels like a cross-breed of Brave New World and a movie called Gattaca! love it!
What is the Danish word that translates to coziness? I have been unable to find it thus far
hyggelig
Thanks for this, very useful
Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! I used this audio book to help me read the poem a lot easier. I’m in college and we had to read it all in two days. THANK YOU, vector your I read it in a day!
Oh by the way, subscribed
Jack Vance is definitely on my list. Random question, is it true you’ve written John carter fanfic?
Lol. No, I've never written any John Carter fanfic but I have tried to write science fiction in a similar tone and valence.
I like your explanation of psionics, it makes the most sense to me.
Don’t forget the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies, those were popular. But John carter did influence Star Wars, so it definitely left its mark. Edgar Rice Burroughs is arguably america’s most influential author.
Tarzan was probably more popular than John Carter frankly but I don't like anything if it's not space-related I guess. Lol.
Found this video on Canis discord, great stuff! It’s nice to have a dissident analysis on sci fi and fantasy, especially pulp.
clive sent me. I've read Hyperion, but but have opposing opinions on some of these things. Your podcast is pretty good. You don't need to improve at all to make this episode watchable. Thank you hidebound.
A friend of Clive's is always welcome in my comment section! What specifically did you think I got wrong about Hyperion? It's a pretty complex work in my opinion. I'm interested to hear other people's takes.
I can't see how the author is being charitable to christianity here. Yes, there are christian themes in the worldview, that is rebirth, ressurection, prophecy, crucifiction and probably a half dozen more. However, if you consider how these themes are used, they are part of the physical world. This is an inversion of christianity, and certainly the setting of Hyperion allows for no kind of god. This is subversive to the point where I seriously doubt that the author is christian, despite what you said. To say again, if you put everything christian, into an uncaring universe, and everything miraculous has a explanation that has nothing to do with christ or god. Then you're making the sacred into the profane. No?
I think the mistake you have here is you assume that I think Simmons is presenting a sympathetic treatment of Christianity and I don't think he is. I said that Gene Wolfe was a Christian, because he was, but I have no idea about Simmons. I agree that the Cruciform as a plot device is a kind of grotesque inversion of Christianity, and as a matter of fact I think Hyperion's main stylistic feature is built on trafficking in the grotesque. All I meant by comparing the two works is that they both treat the topic of credulity towards Christian revelation and the epistemological frames that appear in science fiction stories. But what I didn't make clear in the video, and what I think you pick up on, is that the doubt-inducing presuppositions of sci-fi can be played straight, as in Hyperion, or challenged, as in the Book of the New Sun. So thank you for your comments it helped me clarify that distinction that was lacking in the video.
@@hideboundconvivium9151 I wasn't multitasking when listening to this episode, but I completely missed that you were talking about "The book of the new sun". I thought you were talking about a single book. Oops! Mostly, my brain was doing work trying to remember Hyperion, which I read about 3.5 years ago. Mea culpa. hehehe.
Such a joy to see a new Hidecon video, Congrats on the baby!
Thanks!
Your writing is excellent, bravo!
one of your best, please upload your work to odysee
to quote Dwalin!... ''very good this!...any more?'' brilliant! thank you looking forward your take the on Eyes of the Overworld and that picaresque scoundrel Cugel....
Thank you! A have a ton of projects in the pipe all of which are conflicting with work and family but I plan to do it eventually. I did my capstone paper on those two books after all.
One of the most underestimated book series ever. Instead of the same old sandal & sword fantasy, the Dying earth is filled with anti heroes, cynical and selfish bastards .Hilarious.
As I said in the video somewhere, I think, these stories are prototypical of the Cugel the Clever stories that would be the most famous part of his Dying Earth canon. It's hard for me to think of a more enjoyable antihero protagonist than him. On the flipside, Vance's heroic characters are never all that good. Win some lose some I suppose.
@@hideboundconvivium9151 I like Rhialto the marvelous the best. But to be honest. , i find Vance a rather mediocre writer with a few brilliant exceptions (like the Dying earth series and Lyonesse ) .Most of his books are a bit repetitive . That's just my opinion ofcourse.
I quit. Can't you talk for 15 minutes without drinking every 20 seconds?
Lol you got me. Valid criticism.
Good story, nicely illustrates that socialness is more than negotiation between individuals.
Very good.
welcome back Hidecon
