enjoyed! Your voice and pacing is calming, but your background is distracting and busy. I'd recommend cutting up the face time with some relevant historic filler images. Dense subjects need visual stimulation. Also maybe an introduction to channel? Great channel name!

As always, thank you for watching. Please, let me know what you think.

Given that current events involve the power of a group of people who castigate and demonize others for their ethnic identities and explicitly want to go back to a time when things were supposedly "great" in the past, denying the freedom of individuals to be who they truly are, then perhaps you might consider the direction of your disdain.

The right to fart in an elevator vs the right to not be stuck I a farty elevator.

This channel is cool, i subscribed

Yeaahhh, no. A great deal of our understanding of the Middle Ages is a characterization that wasn’t really prevalent until much later in time. Medieval Europe underwent an extensive period of growth in the economy and societal norms that was unprecedented in the region. A great deal of what we think of when we say “Medieval Europe” is frankly not found in western half of the continent, although the absolutism and more rigid social structures were prevalent in Eastern Europe and especially the Russian States that developed after the Mongol invasions. The church was the only thing that kept literacy up to any standard at all in Europe after the fall of Rome, and was as well as still is a major funder of scientific endeavors in the world. It was not a particularly ossified societal structure! Although it worked differently depending on where you were, the majority of Medieval European Peasants could see substantial growth in status, sometimes becoming Ennobled. It worked the other way too, Noble families falling out of favor and becoming townsmen or merchants, sometimes falling farther depending on circumstances. Medieval Europe was not what we think it to be, a lot of what we attribute to the time period either didn’t exist there yet, or existed much later in the Early Modern Period.

Well said

This is an infantile analysis, one completely expecting conquered peoples to abandon their identities to embrace the power of an empire, of a people who never treated them as equal until maybe the past few decades, even then it's not like it's been an easy road. Our diverse identities need to be cohered into one American identity if we want to survive intact I'm not sure if you're educated on the history of race or class struggle in the US, but racism plays a role in so many areas of life in this country it's hard to describe I was born and raised in the US, I have perfect command of the English language and have been told more than once "WOW, you speak English well" I didn't even speak Spanish until I was in my teens I've been called racist names and told to go back to Mexico more than once You expect people to embrace an identity that we've always been told doesn't belong to us

HELLO what I have been saying for some time look at any urban center ( was born here in My LA in 60 BUT any modern city will do) AND there are thousands of homeless barbarians that were not there when I was young. The growing homeless barbarians are gathering for seems like their enlightenment as we (our culture) enter our new Middle Ages and we await for WHAT is Our modern Renaissance. You get 2-points my friends AND remember VIva Roma but don't forget your Ostrogothic(homeless) barbarian taxes HUH.

Do you think they are more powerful than the global South. There are many nations in the global South that have nuclear weapons. They have leftist and socialist and transhumanist movements. We will borrow the useful things from the American revolution, in order to spread socialist transhumanism to the global South. The South vs America will race for the singularity. Our battle will be legendary. The revolution will live on. We told you the socialist revolution isn't over, just like we tell you the industrial revolution isn't over, just like we tell you the American revolution isn't over. The American revolution have it's merits, will we use it. some of it's merits are : 1)recognizing all humans are equal, this is to first approximation true, because all human brains are about the same order of magnitude in mass and complexity. 2)freedom of expression, this is good and useful for learning new ideas, and exposing corrupt people and bad people. This free expression can expose morally corrupt people and make sure the bad people don't slowly outnumber the good people in government and the army. 3)the rule of law, not rule of a human. If it's rule of a human, then you are just subject to his whims, so he can take whatever he wants, so why work, when powerful people just steal? This leads to a society where people just joust for power. This leads to factions and groupism and group interest where the nash equilibrium game is to just fend for the group. This leads to people wasting a lot of time in politics, instead of investing time in their businesses or their work or their dream. Because without rule of law, you are always busy looking for your groups shifting internal politics. With rule of law, people are no longer at cold war, so can focus on many things, leading to a productive society in the long run. We will incorporate these merits in our own revolution. The Atheist afterlife is in the prosperity and Utopia for the superorganism. We only need the future of humanity. As long as the future of humanity is happy, I can die happy.

You’ve nailed it. DEI is toxic. People resent it. It corrodes social and work place cohesion. A successful pluralistic society is built on respecting our shared humanity and shared values: fairness, merit and equality!

I fully agree with pretty much all that you said. And you laid it out very coherently and clearly without any confusing nonsense thrown in. Good vid man! Keep doing what your doing! 😁

As always, thank you for watching.

The clash of fundamental identity with abstract identity is irreconcilable. Dominance hierarchies will always exist both within and between groups. The mice can invite a few cats to join their mouse empire, and the cats can successfully integrate, but the moment the cats become a powerful enough group within the empire, they will turn on the mice. Biology > ideology.

Are you starting to empathize with Cassandra of lore?

People alive today do not have legitimate grievances for things that happened centuries ago. All those people are dead.

All politics are identity politics.

As always, thank you for watching.

A society dies by suicide

the rise of identity politics? more like the rise of uncontrolled diversity and replacement which was never asked for.

Well, this is certainly the path we seem to be on in Canada!

This wasn’t a problem when we were a homogeneous population within our nation. It’s only since we’ve allowed members of other tribes (nations) into our borders and allowed them into the halls of power has this rot set in.

At last someone who can see history repeating itself as it always tries

Whole heartedly agree, subscribed.

Hopefully people don't find this too controversial. Do I make a valid point or have I missed the mark?

this is why i watch youtube instead of tiktok. cause im an intellectual xD

I feel like ai is going to have a huge impact on the gig economy.

not just gig workers, 9-5workers are not much better either

The Gig Economy is for those with poor math skills.

those silly games where you collect virtual land seems symbolic for whats actually going on behind the scenes. big tech companies are digital spaces, the site is a carving out of an area, then you can participate by congregating. reminded also of the chappelle skit of a VR mall. the website or app is a place and the members are new serfs or merchants or visitors

I think there's an argument for life under feudalism being better; the medieval peasants would know their lord personally and often dine at their table or in their hall. I will never know Bezos, Musk or Gates personally and I will never dine at their table or be able to influence their ideas and visions.

Cool, i love medieval castles and knights, thanks capitalism!

As always, thank you for watching. Please, let me know what you think. Does Halloween still have a purpose beyond the commercial event it has become?

New style of video today. My webcam isn't the best and it's the first time I've recorded a video in this way, so it's a little rough in places, but please, let me know what you think.

Great video !!!!

As always, thank you for watching. Please, let me know what you think in the comments. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Well done

Halloween is _not_ a holiday that has close ties to the ancient past, nor does it have some ‘pagan’ antecedent, nor is it a continuation of several ancient pre-Christian customs. To say that Halloween’s connections to Samhain or anything “ancient” are, at best, extremely tenuous, would be grossly overstating the facts. Virtually all of the customs associated with the modern secular celebration of Halloween developed only in the past 500 years and have no connections to ancient pagan religious practices. When we celebrate Halloween, we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots. But those roots are firmly situated in the medieval Christian past, not an ancient pagan one.

As always, thank you for watching. Please, let me know what you think.

Captivating. Thank you.

Do you think there's still a place for Aristotle's concept of a good life in the modern world? And as always, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video.

In today’s world of quick tweets and viral videos, do you think Cicero’s emphasis on logos, pathos, and ethos is still achievable in political discourse? Or has social media made emotional appeal (pathos) dominate the conversation?

Can democracy truly function when social media algorithms push content designed to provoke outrage rather than foster meaningful debate? What role do you think personal responsibility plays in this?

What do you think, is there scope for a 'Philosopher King' leader in politics today?

I’m curious - do you think society puts too much emphasis on personal success over kindness? Let me know what you think.

Do you think Plato’s ideal of justice from The Republic still holds value today? What’s your opinion on how modern courts deliver justice compared to the ideals discussed in The Republic?

Does history really repeat itself? After watching, do you think modern superpowers are destined to fall like Rome, or can they change course?

I just started to watch a documentary on Mesopotamia, the narrator was too dramatic, I decided to watch one on Cuneiform as I finished a hieroglyphic one last night. Yours is so much better, easier on the ear. So many are over dramatised. Thank you and I have subscribed 👍🏽
