Hey, can you consider this for the next video essay (or Fight Club explained video): "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken!" - Tyler Durden Thanks!
It feels like there is always new facets to discover in that movie and so many ways to look at it. But I think pain and discomfort can be hope/comfort in its own way too, paradoxically (when it's all you know and it serves as distraction, though that is probably off from the way Tyler defines the true awakening).
I usually imagine that I have some deadly disease and that I have some really short time left. It always set me free from worries. And in those moments I ask myself what would I do if I have just month or less and that way I know what I really want to do, I know that those are my real desires and that fear and someone else opinion was irrelevant for that decision.
To accept that you're gonna die, should you not try to survive? I almost died last year getting sucked into a paper machine. I fought to get out of danger at the last second. I wasn't ready to die yet.
When I heard this quote, I interpreted it like that 👉 Hope is expectation. Expectation of people being as you want them to be, expectation of your decisions and actions always being right and leading you towards the best. But the thing is, reality is not perfect, life is messy and when your expectations are shattered you feel exhausted. And you become desperate. You are afraid of doing a next step. But when you have no expectations, you have nothing to be afraid of. You just act and you are ready to accept any outcome. You just slide)
Dude, excellent video, could you do a Philosophical Analysis of the film American Psycho? It is not as good as Fight Club, but it has several important social criticisms that support Fight Club, Corporatism, social image, advertising, persona, masculinity, superficiality of status, etc.
Definitely man. I love American Psycho. It's right up there with Fight Club IMO. Stay tuned. Once I've exhausted everything Fight Club I'll be moving on to other videos
"Its once we lose everything we are free to do anything" when you lose hope,your job money anything. You go under the radar. No one knows who you are and ni one cares, you can do what you always wanted as long as you hsve no fear, no fear of stealing,sinning,killing. You can do anything of you put your mind on that path.
Thank you. If It wasn't for my mom. I wouldn't know what fight club is and I also wouldn't be able to find an amazing person like you, she has fight club, survivor and another book: Invisible about a women who was beautiful then something happened to her and she had to go to the hospital and now she has become a monster. I haven't read it yet but my mom says it's very good
My psychology discussion group is going to be watching one of your other videos for the next week. I think that the reason why Fight Club is a type of counter-logic goes back to Nietzsche I think. Before Nietzsche all of philosophy was kind of based on the idea of good and bad. But Nietzsche said fuck all that, we can create our own values. He broke apart the academia of the philosophy at universities. Carl Jung read Nietzsche and did what he did. Then Chuck Paluhniuk took Carl Jung and did what he did.
@@bizarrebreakdownsalright i have the book.. im just wondering.. like does it maybe touch more about the approach to life? for example i adapted minimalism and anti-consumerism from the movie
IMO regarding any film, the book is ALWAYS better than the movie. More detail. The essence and overall message is the same, but still, more detail. FC book actually has quite a different ending then the movie. @@Novcarys
Great Essay. Maybe is this the Main statetment of Fight Club. Great work! As Fight Club starts in Germany in the cinemas Most of the people said: Look, another martial arts movie- without seeing it. Then some critics give their opinion (and it’s resist even 2024): There are facist points. Would that be a Interest Video topic: Is Tyler Durden the new Adolf Hitler?
You might want to checkout buddhist philosophy (not the supernatural or religious aspects but proper philosophy). Why buddhism is true by Robert wright is a good one. It's like buddha figured out everything about human problems back 2000 odd years ago and was living in a "meta" life
@@knight794 thanks, will go and checkout right now,appreciate this 🙏 And Yeah The Buddha is very real because of his teachings are so accurate in every era
Great explanation. Let go. Know not fear that one day we’re all going to die. People seem to get caught up in all material possessions and worry about stupid crap. I’ve had to remove these people from my life because the were causing me stress. I told them, I don’t worry about all this crap you do because in the end it doesn’t matter. They are shaving days off their lives with worry. Fk it! Let go
Good morning! Thanks for the video. I think that it ultimately depends on what we hope for. God's goodness and the resurrection of the messiah are worth holding on to. I think that what you are describing is false hope...or maybe there is another word for it. Maybe it could broadly be called idolatry, because we are being stubborn when we are held back by it. I appreciate this, though, because I need to constantly remind myself to not lose momentum, and keep being free.
Always great to hear your insight Eugene. Hope indeed is a double edged sword. Despite what FC may say, I don't view hope as entirely bad. I do think in some cases, it can be 'false' as you said and just be a form of escapism. PS, for what it's worth, I don't subscribe to the entire philosophy of FC. For what it's worth, I recently started going to church again and have plenty of hope and prayer in my life. All I'm doing is merely pointing out FC philosophy and trying to extrapolate some lessons for people!
@@bizarrebreakdowns Yeah, I knew that you don't subscribe to the whole thing. I was just trying to draw a line, so that we could make good sense of it all.
@@bizarrebreakdownsI should add that I appreciate his abandoning of hope, when it is what we do at the beginning of the desert metaphor. Too often, we are afraid to let go of frivolous things.
I see the Patreon now. I've wanted to donate to you somehow for some time. Is there another way we could donate for your fine work without Patreon taking a cut? Do you happen to be into bitcoin? Would be great to send you some if you are. (bitcoin not crypto 💩coins) Value4Value. Thank you for these incredible videos.

Only after losing all hope for things that are unreal you can become free from things that felt like something that weren't there in the first place
That hits home.
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything
it’s only after we have nothing to live for that we can experience everything for what it truly is

I liked it. Really enjoy these ground zero/ facing mortality type vids
Glad to hear!
Same!
Amazing video as always.
Thank you brother!

accepting death isnt the same as being suicidal, its accepting the inevitable conclusion to all of our lives
i love these videos, these videos make me love this movie more and more and more
Thankfully I have son. The other day I was literally thinking what if I didn't have child yet. Probably my life would much meaningless
Glad to hear you are a proud father my friend! I hope to be the same one day.
I like your channel so much cause of this fight club explanations. And your voice "SIR"

Fight Club could be seen through the lens of 'will to power' and 'master-slave' morality in the same light as American Psycho.
i lost my all hope but i don't want to do anything after all these
Yeah Fight Club seems to have had quite an effect on many people. This video like your others is very good, so I hope you make many more.
Thanks Robert. Many more to come!
you say the most realest shit i hear all day
Thank you brother. I try 💪
Nice work my friend.

Agreed. Maybe not the best path though. Have you read Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky?
No, but have you read survivor written by The Chuck palhunick. Sorry I can't spell his name bit survivor had a very twisted story

I should have paid more attention to this movie 😢
Lots of great lessons and also lots of warnings
great video

Great question. I’ll definitely be pondering this during my next writing session. Thanks for the idea!

is reading the book worth it? i watched the movie couple of times.. so i dont know if only few extra things are worth spending time on the book
Definitely worth a read. Surprisingly there are a lot of differences.

it's like fight club movie is becoming a buddist monk, free from delusion and full of freedom and peace of mind
Buddhists want to end suffering (dukka). That isn't Fight Club. Fight Club isn't about being at peace, it is about embracing life.

how many words you learned from fc?
Not so much words, but plenty of philosophy forsure.
Fc wasn't about winning or losing, it wasn't about words.@@bizarrebreakdowns
