This is great! I’m finding this discussion really helpful.

Because I hate people I do not hate being alone.

Finally a good video on kant!

Flossfee

One of my favorite philosopher professors was a Wittgensteinien. Ironically, she was asked to teach philosophy of Metaphysics!

I heard that he was a beery swine and that he was just as sloshed as Schlegel

Glad this was recommended to me, following.

55:00 precious. The interviewer couldn't show more disapproval. 😂

First Viewer 😊

failure of socialist policies within capitalism are due to capitalist sabotage.

capitalism is immoral. the hierarchies of CAPITALISM are /\ pyramid shaped, while every NATURAL hierarchy of competence is a bell curve (IQ bell curve) with few at the top and bottom and the majority in the MIDDLE. /\ pyramid hierarchies are ARTIFICIAL and integral to capitalism/profit, there has to be a very large base of low paid workers in a capitalist /\ hierarchy in order for profit to be generated, profit is ((( IMPOSSIBLE ))) in a natural bell curve hierarchy because there aren't enough people at the bottom to skim labor value from.

I hear all of the secret agents running emergency sirens and jackhammers over Zizek's ideas trying to prevent us from hearing them, but it didn't work, thankfully.

This is the best summary of who I am that I have ever seen.👍😁

Fabulous. Added to my collective research list

20:36. Wage slavery turned out to be more dynamic than slavery, is it not true that another kind of emancipatory progress in the structuring of society could be even more dynamic than the Capitalism we have today? And if more emancipation creates more dynamics, surely there is something deeper than Capitalism that we have to thank for progress? I'm aware that Capitalism was in some way instrumental, at least in part, for world to get where it is today, but is it not even more true that it was never Capitalism itself which was responsible, it simply unlocked something that existed within the horizon of human potential. Why do we need Capitalism? Surely what we need are the tools and knowledge that Capitalism coincided or conspired with historically to create.

Has Dr. Kidd written any book?

What about a misanthrope that wishes to emancipate themselves from society and humankind at large. Likely through genetic modification. CRISPR has developed much in the last decade. I see myself as one that wishes to achieve absolute independence. Because I cannot trust anyone. Even those I love. I have a deep mistrust in my species. Therefore, the most logical, selfless and loving thing I can do is to change myself and leave. Is this endeavor achievible? I like to think it is. Will I succeed? I don't know. But I will do my best. Misanthropy doesn't happen by simple observation. Or that is my opinion. Misanthropy starts because of a betrayal. Abuse or abandonment. Or all or more. Because I have my own grievances, I want to be free. So I study and work. I fake a smile, I lie and fake it till I make it. I don't hate humanity, because that means I hate myself. Im just tired and I want more than what has been offered.

Great, insightful lecture. 🙏🏽🇦🇺

Some of these are audio visual failings like frighteningly erratic camera work

Isn't it ironic how the masses turn up for what is mostly information about them 😅.

its kinda surreal seeing him so up close

Great video.

You can be disuaded from Mysanthropy by meeting the right types of people or reading about them, but all it takes is one human being with all or most of the characteristics you despise to get you back on the program...

Thank you.

Whenever I wonder what is wrong with the world I remind myself that clownish oafs control our education system

Is he wearing eye shadow to look more devious? I shut it off when it came to trump. Sorry dude you are truly a misanthrope.

It is so hard to navigate through society as a misanthrope. This guy gets it, I'm glad there are people exploring this as a philosophical concept.

Misanthropy is the successor of religion, and the result of holding ourself to impossible standards. We're just anmals, and moral agency is a social construct.

I love how he wears *the dark suit.* EDIT: 14:00 - one form of micro-cruelty is this camera men's work, god damn

New game : Drink a beer 🍺 every time he sniffs or touches his nose 👃 😎🍻

Top encounter with the zizekian Zizek 🎉 Cool stool

I'm disappointed by this talk. Although I'm into philosophy, I've been very disappointed by what philosophers produce. Today, I've given up on these endless word-games you philosophers hawk to advance your careers. I recommend one takes up Experimental Philosophy instead. As Experimental Philosophy is grounded in facts about the world and disdains the endless wordy speculation of the philosopher in favour of ideas based on empirical facts. Focusing on evil is not misanthropy; because one is judging ethically. 1. Judging ethically implies a better world. 2. I welcome looking at the dark-side of life. Yet the people doing this (studying: psychopaths, dark triads, narcissists, cluster Bs, ...) they seem to take a dutiful point of view. Misanthropy does not encourage dutiful behaviour. Instead it seems to lead to a wicked circle of apathy. Activism is not misanthropy. The very fact the activist is doing something, implies they're doing it because they think - rightly, or wrongly, their actions will lead to a better world. Having said that: many activists seem to have deep contempt for the rest of us! Especially those of us - such as me - who call out their/your bad activism. We need empirical studies of misanthropy and misanthropes. More of these intellectual speculations - philosophy - only up the confusion quotient. Please tell me what Experimental Philosophy and empirical Psychology have to say about the topic.

Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in to ear... ok stutter right in increments of 10, back to full zoom on eyebrow, KEEP IT UNFOCUSED aaaand finish with the fire extinguisher. Cut. Dude, perfect. I hate people.

He needs to see a doctor about his nose.

The problem with human beings is that instead of executing psychopaths, we give them positions of power.

never ever let the person operating the camera near a camera again... ever again. unwatchable.

definitely a 4th kind here. used to be 3rd. after witnessed senseless human conflicts around the world, inflict cruelty onto others with convenient excuses, and after witnessed the inner workings high up top, I want no more association with the human kind. just leave me be to live out what's left of this life.

That we might better summarize a book without actually reading it. Similar to how we may better understand words, without necessarily reading their definitions in the dictionary.

BRILLIANT talk!

I'm probably the only person who went through all the different kinds of misanthropy.

Yeah, people are scum.

I clicked on this video because I find myself becoming more and more misanthropic as I age. I just turned a young 44 but already I feel like the stereotypical grumpy old woman. From experiencing the rudeness, unhygienic habits, inconsiderate actions, and the lack of common courtesy in people, I have come to the conclusion. .. the more I interact with people at work, out in public, and even with my own family the more I am becoming less inclined to want to be around people in general. I know that I'm not perfect and I have my own issues, but I feel like for the most part people in general just don't care which makes things uncomfortable, unpleasant, and unnecessarily hard for others around them. I haven't lost all my faith in humanity, I've just lost my desire to be around much of it. It's sad, but I really just want to get away from society. I guess that makes me fall under the label _fugitive_ _misanthrope_ right? I'm only in the first 20 minutes of the video so I don't know if this question will be covered: are certain regions and countries more prone to misanthropic personalities than others? I am born and raised in the United States and I think that in many ways us Americans are just awful to be around. I have a particular country that I have been wonderlusting for several years. But I wonder would it actually be a social Improvement or just a variation of The Human Condition in the guise of another culture and language?

I think the number one reason why I'm a misanthrope is because no one stands up for the vulnerable who are abused. There's this certain thought that it's better to look the other way than it is to become the one abused/outcasted. But how abuse works is by no one speaking out! In my opinion, they are just as guilty as the ones doing the abuse. Abuse happens in the silence. The cowardice of humans, myself included, is what makes me give up on humanity. Absolutely love this speech! There's not much on this subject so I enjoy anything I can get my hands on.

did an old man with Parkinsons film this?

Richmond... END

Yass violence!! 🤘🤘🤘

40:00 holy shit hahahhaahahaha

Misanthropes think like white people, it seems. The assumptions that our systems and their externalities are innate to us is social darwinist in thinking and strongly challenged by historical and modern societies; especially non-white societies. Misanthrope is a cop out against fighting corrupt systems by blaming "human nature." Likewise, blaming some Mongolian horse herder or Mickmack fisherman for climate change the same way we do BP or Enron is absurd; which is what the Misanthrope does. That said, what was described as eastern misanthropy is not even close to the same beast as the western counterpart; to the point that I disagree with him even putting them in the same category.

What an excellent talk!

Aspiration to achieve fame is often a key motivation behind activism and hence activism is a vice itself.
