That by which Hume was able to formulate his proposition and the context in which it functioned and was considered, defines certain necessities that he could not deny OR HE COULD NOT HAVE FORMULATED IT TO BEGIN WITH. Either it is, or it ain’t. 1. He chose to employ in his proposition the concepts of billiard balls specifically to the exclusion of all other things. This cannot be questioned. This means by definition that he had to have recognized and acknowledged the (“physical?” or “sense impression”) characteristics of all of those entities from which he chose the billiard balls or how could he have decided on the billiard balls as opposed to something else such as crochet balls? So the assertion of the form and function of all of those entities in material reality that he had to have perceived (or again, he could not have made the distinct choice he did) was that by which he was able to choose. That he claimed to recognize only sense impressions does not alter the point. There is no escaping this. 2. In that he had to have recognized the physical characteristics of the billiard balls or the sense impressions of them, again, the only means by which he could have chosen them to the exclusion of all else, he had to have known that motion was not one of those characteristics. First, motion is not tangible as is all of that by which the billiard balls were defined in their physicality or the sense impressions which were drawn from them. Secondly, were motion a characteristic of billiard balls, both not just one would have been moving. That the one ball was moving (and not the other) then has to have been the effect of a cause of that motion having been imparted. There is no escaping this. 3. Then, that he had to have known that motion had to have been imparted to the moving ball, he had to have understood that that which imparted that motion was itself a moving entity for which motion was also not a characteristic. I am sorry but this is cause and effect, like it or not. What Hume did in the formulation of his theory was akin to “appealing to truths to formulate a position which denied truth”. He doesn’t get to have done that any more than the rest of us. That entities are distinct, they are that by their characteristics. That they are distinct, they are chosen for their characteristics because each imposes a specific quality (“effect”?) from which to choose. The balls were chosen because they would roll, the reality of that to which he had to have surrendered, a given because they were his choice. He did not choose bricks or the like because they wouldn’t roll, necessary to the purpose of the analogy. That recognition in part defeats his theory of no cause and effect. A final point…..the proposition that ball 1 hitting ball 2 would cause it to move, is inductive only in the most general context of consideration. However, in a sub-context where we consider that motion had to have been imparted to the moving ball, it is deductive. His theory makes no sense. What do you think?

Part 1 and 2. --21 pilots--

Believe it or not by my favorite band brought me to this video... lol |-/

Fauci himself stated several times that there’s no evidence to support mask-wearing as protective. Moreover, several experts disagreed vehemently with Fauci. Fauci was one person, who happened to get the microphone. Also, there were decisions made that were out of the realm of Fauci’s expertise, such as the effects of lockdowns.

I am a huge fan, just bought all your kindle books! Amazing what I can learn from you for the price of a cup of coffee. My fav philosophers are Schopenhauer, Plato, and the Stoics. You dig deep, are clear, and honest. Thank you. 🤘

Though lacking the relational attributes of the God of the Bible, don't you think it's misleading to say Aristotle's Prime Mover is not God when he explicitly identifies the Prime Mover as "God" in Metaph. XII.7 and implicitly in Metaph. I.2; VI.1; XI.7? The biblical concept of God shares significant attributes with Aristotle's: an immaterial, incorruptible, immaterial, Nous that enjoys eternal life, is the prime and highest being, and the final cause of all things. "All who believe in the existence of gods . . . agree in allotting the highest place to the deity" (Cael. I).

very useful video for the final stretch of an argument; this is the missing link for things like veganism where you can provide mountains of evidence for one side and someone’s intuition will be the only thing they have to stand on

This is really interesting, I can't believe I'm getting this high quality information completely free Michael! I'm gonna use this ethical structure to talk to my relatives about veganism at the next Thanksgiving dinner until they serve a tofurky and or exclue me from future family occasions and my parents remove me from their will

nice work michael!

It's a sign that I can get ahead of the curve of human development when I notice how FEW people use channels like this. Outrage politics are all stuck on the same level. If you transcend that level then I can inspire others to build rather than tear down.

How about we start by not looking everything through the lens of race... keep TTRPG free of racism (real and perceived)

Touch grass.

Ok; now explain to me brainwashing and cultist behavior using social media and college professors.

There is no such thing as white privilege. In fact, we have BLACK privilege. We have affirmative action protecting BLACKS, we have college scholarships just for BLACKS (nothing like this for whites), we have "Traditionally black colleges". (I wonder where are traditionally white colleges?). We have "black only" fraternities and sororities. We have "Black congressional caucus" , and, obviously no "white congressional caucus". So, where is the white privilege? When everything is set up to benefit blacks? UNSUBSCRIBE.

White privilege is being taught your born evil and owe everybody else something

So what you’re saying is the DM is racist? Lmfao good talk

😂🤨🤨🤨😆🤬🤡💩

So white privilege is rolling with disadvantage. sure does feel like it. In the past I imagine it would be like rolling with advantage, but not today when 3 magic words can be used to win.

I like the video and the analogy, it's a good counterpoint to those who point at poor white people or rich colored people and say racism doesn't exist. These comments make me lose faith in humanity and the d&d community though... Kudos to you for trying to reason with so many of them.

Wow! Seriously wacky guy.

That is an excellent approach in explaining how privilege can work externally and internally in ways that can be invisible to many. I do try to show that white privilege exists, which can be challenging even when I emphasize that it does not mean that a person is bad or that everything was handed to them. Gamers tend to get the idea that a small plus or minus can have large impacts over time, so they tend to have that conceptual mechanism in place. It doesn’t help that there are folks who straw man the idea; presenting it as the claim that white people always have it easier or that all white people are racist.

First of all, I enjoy your engagement with the comments, even after all these years. I think the analogy succeeds in illustrating that white privelege is a nudging of the scales, something that can avoid notice if you benefit from it but don't care to pay attention. I don't know if you care about convincing anyone that privelege based on race exists in the first place: but I believe it is a frustrating but necessary task when we discuss these topics in a public and uneducated forum. If it is the case that we have to convince others at the same time we make our point: perhaps a more effective illustration would involve what is going through the guards heads in order to impart disadvantage. One of the more sinister aspects of privelege and by extention racism itself is how it permeates the every day life of people who mean well. Yes, the empire is built on racism and slavery long ago. How does this relate to the every day commoner or lowly guard struggling to feed their families? How can a well meaning person still inflict disadvantage on their fellow beings without even meaning to? Perhaps our monk spoke in a dialect that was lambasted by the state or other entities for being savage or uneducated. Leading to distrust from the guard. Maybe our monk carries a scar that is a result of a well known but distrusted ritual practice that is, in truth, inherently much less harmful than it is made out to be. Anyway, thanks for the fun video. I appreciate that youre willing to engage with bad faith arguments and fallacies.

Can't believe there is only 1 like! I appreciate the lecture! Thank you!

There's a huge amount of bias just to fit into the dominant scientific paradigm of any academic field. Regarding the climate change theory, good luck to any budding young climatologist or meteorologist who overtly expresses skepticism of the anthropogenic climate change theory; no way will they have any chance of getting tenure in any university department in the entire Western world. Thomas Kuhn in his 'The Structure of Scientific Theories' demonstrated that paradigm dominance is a function of political dominance in the scientific community, not epistemic dominance. And with a subject such as the climate change theory, the political pressure to conform and agree with it is double as there is tremendous political pressure from not just within the academic community but also from without.

"pre-MY-ses"?

Cool, thanks for sharing brotha

Great stuff, thanks! Keep it up

1:55 The soul is immortal

I've been look down upon for being French, poor, messy hair, dirty shirt, because of my skin believe it or not ! I e been discriminated upon, I haven't been shown much mercy by the law, where it cost me my career over smoking pot the morning of me driving on y day off.. So no, white privilege is a class concept shifted into a racial debate.. it's not a white privilege thing it's like calling a pistol an assault weapon.. it's a play on word for an underlying issue that grows beyond race.. the simple proof is o am, lil Wayne, Kanye west and all the famous black people ther eis rich black people that got rich easy by the way.. So to choose the verbatim white privilege is regretfully idiotic, it stem from anger that becomes racism.. it's because there is a lot of white people around it's easy to blame white people.. it's racist it wrong it's not even accurate and it's utterly bull fucking shit. It's a class difference. It's money ! It's always been money and ur disappointing to simp for that.

How can I play with black privilege? I want to be able to do whatever I want and if anyone criticizes me cry racism. Self hating white people are lower than dirt.

Thank you for this video.

Thank you very much

You should make a podcast that is 30 minutes to 1 hour long. You would be successful.

Can you please post more videos of your class. Thank you.

Hi, idk if it's interesting for you but I'm a speaker Spanish lol, then I'm actually practicing my English daily with your videos hitherto has been efficient :))

Bro gets mad at racial text options in rpgs

I hate racist shit like this.

white privilege is good. O/

When people get angry when being accused of the "crime" of "privilege", it seems to be assumed that denying privilege is evidence of guilt. However, ask any police interrogator--what's the first thing that innocent people do when accused of a crime they aren't guilty of? They get upset, and vehemently deny it. That's because there are dire consequences for being found guilty of a crime, and they don't want to be punished for something they didn't do. Just accuse someone of witchcraft and see how they react--if they deny it, would you assume they actually *are* a witch? Isn't it more likely that people are getting angry because your accusations are actually wrong? Why are you so sure your assumption of privilege is right? How did you get to be so morally superior that you get to throw accusations and judgements out, without a trial or proper investigation? Surely you're not assuming privilege based on someone's skin tone?

The ogre was the main one discriminated against in this analogy. Talk about human privelege.

As with most things in "education" these days, the problem with this concept ("White Priviledge") is numerous: 1) "White" is not an actual race in any sense and is a made up term by progressive identity group jargon to mean "anyone non PoC or whomever else we want to be our oppressor today.". It's intentionally divisive and the modern counter-point to the N-word. 2) Privilege is only a negative thing when placed up the "oppressor" being targeted. "Privilege" found in an "oppressed" group is minimalized, excused or ignored. It is even potentially argued as something else (or non-existent) just so the term can maintain it's demonization of "oppressor" groups. 3) In FACTUAL terms, all groups have their own "privileges" in various geographical societies (as well as "oppressions"). This is completely ignored and even denied by the Progressive Left in an attempt to anchor these terms (priviledge / oppression) to specific identity groups as blanket terms to eliminate any discussion about nuance or exceptions that should be obvious to anyone with the ability to have a cognitive thought process. Ironically, It should be noted that ALL of their arguments for giving these groups special consideration are ALWAYS based on exceptions to the norm. 4) The entire term is highly devisive and will never do anything to repair any racial divide. It is obviously used to intentionally alienate, belittle and demonize anyone who speaks out against their made up jargon or points out where their ideology completely fails to explain any event (see 5 black cops beating a black man to death being "white supremacy" caused by "white privilege"). I challenge anyone to explain to me how the use of this term can or will ever improve race relations in any way and anyone with have a thought can see that's likely and intentional thing. Those that claim to want to "fix" race relations are doing everything in their power to make them worse.

Orcs are Evil!

Now that I think about it just being called an elf or an orc can put some very real constraints on how you walk the world beyond what nature has given you. A sad limitation to a being that could have so much more potential without said constraints.

Now, do Asian privilege. Surely, since Asians in America far outperform all other races in almost every facet from education to salary, they must be hiding some privilege, right? Your ideology fails the sniff test.

This is the single dumbest thing I have watched today. Can I get my 11 minutes back?

Racist.

The concept of white privilege is nothing more than a tool to divide people and it works. Just like white fragility. It’s been concocted by Marxist to instill division in the population. That’s a good or bad thing wherever you sit. The terms themselves “white privilege/white fragility” are as insulting to white people as any other racial slur but that has been made ok by the excuse of white privilege. And frankly open racism is tolerated from any other group as long as it is directed toward the fragile whites. And people buy into this krap like the fellow that made this video. I respect that he is trying to explain this to people like me that missed the white privilege coronation at birth. But frankly go try telling a black man he is a N$&@@ and you will get hit in the face with a twisted tea. And rightfully so. The same should apply to white privilege but we have self hating white people that have been brainwashed into allowing this to continue. I am white as white can be. I am not and better or worse than the sum of my decisions and actions. I am accountable to no one but my self and god. Because anyone who reads this and agrees or scoffs we are all borne the same and we will all die. Spend that time how you will. Go pushing on what someone els has or is entitled to over you is not ever going to make for a happy existence. Everyone has a different human experience. I’m sorry if you feel cheated. Everyone is cheated. We should be propping each other up not crying because we think someone els has it better. The grass isn’t always as green as it appears on the other side of the fence when you take the time to to look close enough.

Nope, can't let this go with just one comment. You took us down the rabbit hole. Time to show you where you led us. First, the theory of "white privilege" absolutely assumes that it imparts guaranteed success. However, this is not like getting a natural 20 in DnD, as you pointed out. There simply is no die roll. The idea of advantage does not even play a role in the decision. Frankly, I would not be surprised if there were some advocates of the theory of "white privilege" who believe that there is some racist DM running our society.
