Are You a Second Choice?

what does it mean to always be the second choice? To live in the shadow of others, overlooked, yet never unseen? In this reflection on life's quiet absurdities, we explore the weight of being second, the meaninglessness of seeking validation, and the freedom that comes from rejecting the need to be first. In an indifferent universe, perhaps being second isn't a curse-but a form of liberation. m...

    1. A compendium of wrongheaded thinking. The comments here only add to it (albeit from smaller minds). 2. What is time? It is a measurement system that we use to track change -- the change of the arrangement of atoms in the universe (or your area of interest). The past is composed of past arrangement sof atoms. The present is the present arrangement of atoms. The future will be composed of future arrangements of atoms. 3. If you want to visit the past, you do not want to engage in backwards time travel -- that is a wrongheaded notion. If you want to go back in time, run your clock backwards. You want to go back in the arrangement of atoms in the universe (or, easier, your small area of interest). There are three ways: a.) push atoms backwards; b.) calculate it; c.) work from an atomic snapshot. The problem with pushing atoms backwards is that it destroys things in the present, so you are left with either calculating it or working from a snapshot.

  • @michaelpeterson8843

    He misses Heidegger's understanding of time. Heidegger spoke of temporality, as opposed to clock time, and that our Being, is time (temporality) embodied. Thus, time (temporality) has spatiality, and thus, the nature or ontology of our Being, acknowledges (even requires) our relationship to all entities. The narrator is sadly imposing his own view on Heidegger.

    Very good job on the video and narration. E.M. Cioran took a rather dark view of life. He must have suffered from severe depression. His nihilism is brutal. Despite there being some truth to his words, he leaves no room for hope or meaning of any kind. His philosophy is completely devoid of empathy and devoid of human joy.

    What is the difference between time and change? Consciousness is awareness of sameness and change only. Not time. Time is the inference that between our awareness of sameness and change there is a relationship. A continuous “reality” coinciding with our existence.

    Nice effort. It's a good topic. Your text is a bit flowery, something with straight up rational writing is more appropriate to the topic, imo. Around the same time as Heraclitus we have Parmenides and his student Zeno, who challenged Heraclitus's ideas, basically stating that time and change are illusions. Zeno wrote some paradoxes to demo this. Aristotle refuted Zeno's paradoxes but emphasized that Time is dependent on Motion and vice versa. Plato thought, through the voice of Timaeus, that Time was part of creation. This theory has come back now with questions about Time before the Big Bang, or was created by the Big Bang. The new wave of experimental science of the 15th century refuted Aristotle's ideas about gravity, and we get new thoughts about time, space and motion, culminating with Newton who treated time/space as an absolute frame or reference, and infinite. Kant wrote about time/space in the context of idealism vs realism, resulting in his theory that it is the wiring of our minds that cause us to perceive space/time the way we do. No one took up the question again until Henri Bergson in 1889 with his book "Time and Free Will, which refuted the new wave of scientific materialism of the 19th century. He differentiated between authentic time i.e. “Duration” and the counted time of the scientists/mathematicians. He inspired Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Deleuze and many others.

    Wow! The meaning and connection that Soren Kierkegaard intended has been stripped away and secularized here. To not reference Abraham is to miss the whole point - that his offering of Isaac is the point to which the one must arrive in Infinite Resignation on the way to becoming a Knight of Faith. The Transcendent One is who called Abraham and the Knight of Infinite Resignation to the connection to the Finite. This video washes Fear & Trembling of its central meaning, and therefore empties it of the possibility of becoming the Knight of Faith that SK posited. This is a great sadness.

      Good observation but the fact that we can count seconds, minutes, etc., doesn't mean there's anything more there than our counts. The counted timeline is a virtual reality. Try looking at your immediate experience, what do you observe? It's like money - - it's only real because we all agree that it's real.

    He was the worst philosopher. No new ideas. The dialetic is hegels, alienation was also hegels. His economics was dead wrong basing it completely off of the labor theory of value, which had been utterly debunked. He sucked. Didn't know anything about human nature. The proletariat don't sacrifice it all for revolution, they go on strike and back to work with marginal gains over time. Marx didn't understand much at all and no new original thought that ended up being anywhere near the truth.

He also glorified war and wrote that women are there for pregnancy and in order to give there man recovery from war.
