    I've read Marx unprepared when I was 21. As you said the Manifesto and Das Kapital. Fuck I was not prepared, that took me significantly longer than I thought. But made a paper on the discrepancies between Marx and the implementation of communist regimes. I soon realized Marx and Engels ideas were not implemented and that secondary sources often got him quite wrong, even contemporary sources.
    The dumbest thing I did was listen to a secondary source saying you had to have a complete understanding of Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind, and going in there unprepared as well........starting with the fucking preface, which was quite the chore on it's own. After that I decided to become someone who professionally breaks bricks with his head. Had to get it of my chest, that fucking paper still haunts me in my dreams.
    Unbearable Lightness is also an incredible book. Though I'm more right-leaning and conservative than you I think it's a great list.

    "Nietzsche says that all events return eternally."
    Perhaps this is worded poorly, but taken at face value it is blatantly wrong. Nietzsche posited the idea of the Eternal Reoccurance not as a statement of fact but as a thought-experiment, one by which you could gauche whether the life you are leading now is worthy to be repeated eternally.
    Quoted from 'Der Fröhliche Wissenschaft' ('The Gay Science'):
    "What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.'"

      False. In the Will to Power (a collection of his notes) he speaks about the reality of the eternal recurrence and how it relates to his ontology. He even was planning to create a book called the eternal recurrence. The main premise for it was that if there was an end state for the universe it would have already occurred. The fact that we are currently experiencing reality means that it is recurring.

    Another excellent video of your favorites for the year. I always appreciate your recommendations. I’d like to share with you a helpful way to get into psychoanalysis if you choose to do so. I think that better application of psychoanalysis to philosophy, political praxis, etc. would greatly help society and the persons within it. Freud is very influential, but I feel he oftentimes missed the mark. I think reading Faces in a Cloud (‘79) by Atwood & Stolorow is the best introduction to psychoanalysis. It’s the first book by the pioneers of Intersubjective Psychoanalysis. It even has an excellent psychobiographical analysis of Freud which highlights the strengths and weaknesses of his theories.
    Freud and Beyond (‘96) by Mitchell & Black is another good introduction to psychoanalysis. It summarizes the historical development of the field including and after Freud (but doesn’t reach Intersubjective Psychoanalysis). One co-author, Stephen Mitchell, is the pioneer of Relational Psychoanalysis, so you get a feel for that after you read about the other psychoanalytic frameworks. Hope this helps if you decide to take the psychoanalytic plunge!

I used to be super into Rorty, and still identify as therapeutic in his sense, but have since believed that Rorty's method is sort of counter-productive for therapeutic philosophers such as myself (for more of what I mean, there's a paper McDowell wrote called "Towards Rehabilitating Objectivity" that explains he dissolves such questions in philosophy).

      ​@@bigbone_99 I'd say that Deleuze is even more crucial to wake MLs up a bit. Not that I'm attacking their ideology, but it is true that in the worldwide revolutionary movement there's a lot of dogmatism and such, and Deleuze and Guattari just shatter a lot of capitalistic methods of thinking and ideas. After reading A Thousand Plateaus I just stood there thinking holy shit this has not only made me get a better understanding of the world around me or at least get another view, but I also did grow as a person with it.

Does your title, or RUclips name, or whatever it is called, being that I am not really that hip on such things, other than the basic comments that I enjoy writing, but I digress, is that name "short" for the word "cuckold"? I was curious and looked up words that were called "portmanteaus", shortened or a combination of other words, you know "put-togethers", type of things? A linguistic type of mish-mash, such as smoke and fog, makes TA-DA: "smog"! Once again Wiki comes to the rescue.....oh yeah, what's your view on Wikipedia?

    I read the unbearable lightness of being this year as well. It was so,don’t want to say influential, but informative on how i view social relationships. Like the second part of the book with sabina and franz,their relationship and the concept of a contextual dictionary was the most interesting part of it. The seeming conflict in how both of them view each other and the world. The opening though was the most memorable, that felt all too real. We truly do lose the weight of thing when time passes,that lightness as pleasurable as it seems to obscures our perception of something-the fundamental incompatibility of teresa and tomas but their ever recurring relationship being the one coming close to mind. Or maybe I fundamentally misunderstood the book and what i said was bullshit.

    Maybe read up on money from the left before considering a post-money setup. The historic context of money makes its importance for the next 100+ years all that more clear. See Mary Mellor "Money For The People" on the web or her book. Also consider contributions by Yanis Varoufakis or Steve Keen to understand from a dialectical framework the dysfunction of the neoclassical economic theory that informs the mainstream political and economic thinking today. It's an important frame that corrects some of the rhetorical overshooting Marx did when he was over-emphasizing the Ricardian economic anlaysis (which neoclassical economic thinking also heavily draws from to its peril). Going by Keen, anyway.

    Have you read the zen buddhist poet Thich Nhat Hanh? Zen is fascinating for me as I try understanding it eventhough I know it is ungraspable and unknowable. But when I meditate I feel it instead and it has helped me a lot, with depression and anxiety. It has helped me with many relationships and to be more compassionate. As a solarpunk anarchist it makes sense to me. Heidegger was inspired by zen and taoism but westernized it and willingly hid these influences by also using his opaque style. See ZEN IN HEIDEGGER’S WAY
    by David Storey who posits that 1) Zen is uncompromisingly nonmetaphysical; 2) its discourse is poetic and non-rational; and 3) it aims to provoke
    a radical transformation in the individual, not to provide a theoretical proof or
    demonstration of theses about the mind and/or the world. I think Spinoza is fascinating also. And how about Bataille? Have you read him?

    I'm a philosophy student in Poland. To simplyfy it drastically, we have been influenced mostly by German philosophers (phenomenology, dialectic materialism, existentialism, idealism, political philosophy in a broad sense - you name it) throughout the last century, while also having a bunch of outstanding classical logicians and onthologists on our own and obviously having ongoing adventure with the French (well, I'm 'early' Heidegger guy, don't ask me).

    Just a note on eternal recurrence with respect to your fiction novel. Nietzsche didn't say that all things did that, returned infinitely and eternally such that time is a circle, he instead put a similar notion through the mouthpiece of Zarathustra because he knew it was not a notion he could seriously put forth in his own name. Whether or not he believed it himself is unknown, it was simply a thought experiment he posed, for readers to gauge whether, when confronted with a daemon, would curse the daemon or thank him upon hearing this news. Given that the standard idea is simply the one you expressed in the video, that all events only happen once and never again, Nietzsche thought to propose this idea to give the thought that even though your awareness of each moment is finite, and often we do everything we can to push through many moments so that we may never have to experience them again, he is asking with this, "What if you cannot do that really, what if every moment you will instead experience an infinite many times, how does this change your perception and how does this change how you act?" With all due respect, I do not think this was relayed effectively or accurately in the video.
