Sounds like a perv to me
Your videos are great!!! Keep up the good work! 🥳
Thanks 🥳🥳
investing early :D
Why aren’t you rich?
Thales? Who was the second one sonic?
He pronounces every word wrong.
wow i thought you would have a lot more subs than you have, the quality of the video was on top. keep at it !
Gautam Buddha was indeed born after Thales, but the fact that Buddha's philosophy was born because he was not satisfied with the teachings of Indian Vedic philosophy can't be denied, and that Vedic philosophies comes from Vedas and Upanishads which is believed to be written or gathered by maharishi Vedvyas and those philosophical knowledge were actually even older than the period when Indians invented writing.Even the vedic written scripts are at least 1000 years older than Thales. Veda's knowledge was preserved for generations of 'Bharahamans' (you can consider them as teachers of that society) with the help of mnemonic techniques, what we call as mantra in the form of Shruti. Anyway the point I wanna raise is that neither Thales nor Zoroaster comes even close to Indian Philosophers. I would like to suggest you this wikipedia page, " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas " Have a great days buddy
I love this
There are many inaccurate simplifications in the video but also no conclusion
I want to say i was here before other people before you blow up. Helluuu
Thanks! Glad you're here 😎
Okay that was fun except the alien bit…. Thats shits going to give me nightmares 😂😂😂
😆😆👽👽
Cool Vid. Hope you get more attention. 😂
You have a good voice, humour and animation style and its interesting. Keep it up! Id just recommend to keep sound overdrive to a minimum.
Glad you liked it. And thanks for the tip!
« Oui, je suis libertin, j’ai conçu tout ce qu’on peut concevoir dans ce genre-là, mais je n’ai sûrement pas fait tout ce que j’ai conçu et ne le ferai sûrement jamais. Je suis un libertin, mais je ne suis pas un criminel ni un meurtrier. […] » - D. A. F. de SADE.
Impressive!!! Cool animation too 🌝❤
I don't think I will ever understand the constant attempts to make him out to be some kind of tortured, misunderstood hero. He wasn't exposing anything… He wrote about his own depraved fantasies that he was proven to live out.
You conveniently left out that he imprisoned 6 children in his chateau at Lacoste. It is well known that his wife's family paid off witnesses. It seems that this video cherry picked information to make de Sade look like a victim when even when you accept his side of the story it becomes clear that he deeply manipulative, criminally sadistic, and a kidnapper. De Sade is an interesting case study in criminology, but as a writer, he's just a resentful, hate-filled sadist whose whole philosophy was nothing more than him practing his skill at manipulating others into becoming his accomplices, a skill which is also prevalent in his biography.
How do you make your content? It's great
Thanks. I drew the images in procreate (except some of the AI backgrounds), and then pieced everything together in FCPX. (I'm sure there are easier ways to get the same results, but it's the first video I've ever made like this...)
bro I didn't even realize this video was from a small creator! Keep it up man, you've got quality content.
Thanks man! Stay tuned for the next one.
Wow🎉🎉 loved this!!! 😍
So thrilled to see a new video from Immaterial Minds! Can't wait to watch it! 🎉
Libertine
DeSade is putting forth , a Parody.....he uses..... debauchery ,to 'Capture'.....make understood.....habits of the Royals of the day......who are having people's head s removed........on a whim. He is from Aristocrat family . Sex , then IS off the hook. Slaves from Africa then are being forced into Prostitution, the Sugar Fiat ( Slavery gain ) ....has made men so wealthy.....They can get away with anything.
Well he is resting in HELLFIRE now
Huh, im pretty sure that a lot worse happened on epsteins island than anything Sade could have cooked up. Guy seems pretty tame, if a little pompous.
Why do they depict him as good looking.
Great one.. 👏
Great!
This was wonderful!!! 🥰
Half of the USA doesn’t want to listen to this video, which half? Lol. Enjoyed this video!❤
Haha thanks. Glad you liked it!
imagine when even Napoleon himself gets horrified upon reading things which has been written by a person😅😅😅
Much enjoyed !!!!👍
I loved this. It's wonderful.
Thanks 😊
Fun stuff, thanks
pick one topic maybe philosophy, I hope you will get more subscribers. Your video quality is very good.
de Sade was one of the most gifted and abominable personages in an era that knew no lack of gifted and abominable personages.
When I first attempted to read the works of the Marquis de Sade, from about 1987 onwards, I didn't think of him as a Whistle Blower. However, as more information surfaced, in the 21st Century, of Child Abuse, both in the Roman Catholic Church and also among the rich and powerful, then more and more, I started to see de Sade as, primarily a Whistle Blower. The fictional nature of de Sade's writing began at this time, to seem like Self Preservation. That is: Had he said that powerful members of Church and State engage in torturing children, he would have been murdered to shut him up. By writing of powerful members of Church and State engaging in such practices in fiction, those who did such things could say he was a deranged pervert. This allowed them to dismiss de Sade without killing him. Now, I suggest, we should look at de Sade as a very successful Whistle Blower. He got himself locked up, but he lived into his seventies without being bumped off.
Sado-masochism means never, having to say you're sorry
I think he also would love the movie alien when you think alien was the one of the coolest movies this movie is Sprint because a force of nature that can defeat men
I noticed a comment containing QAnon disinformation. Texas has more child abductions than Washington. The Republican Fascist Party and it's rapist fuhrer constantly point the finger at others yet their weirdo movement of creeps and psychopaths contains more perverts than any other.
even at two times speed this is far too slow. speed it up .
For me he was just a criminal
His greatest crime was his sexual depravity.
He Was No 'Libertine'. He was a victim of a pedofile and he snapped so bad that he became a real non-ethical sadist. He was also very mentally unhealthy and had a small iq. He probably had a micro penis to.
I'm not sure there is any philosophical quality to any of this. I recently decided to look into De Sade basically because I knew his name and that was it. Since then, I've had to know of thoughts that I never would have had otherwise. When we're teenagers (especially boys) we sometimes try to one-up each other with twisted thoughts we can come up with. Like, "what's the worst pain you can imagine?" "White hot poker in the ass." Stuff like that. De Sade is something else entirely. There's no literary quality to his writing that I've seen. It's just one serial killer's masturbatory fantasy after the other. It's so far beyond what myself or my friends have ever come up with. It's just one example after another of the most horrible things that the most horrible person in the world can come up to do to the most innocent people. I suspect that we might be overestimating him because he was so unique in his time and that really we're just celebrating a pedophilic psychopath who couldn't keep his fantasies to himself. And I wish he did because now I have images in my head that nobody should have to carry with them. If you want to challenge orthodoxy you can just challenge their philosophy. Being as shocking as possible doesn't question their oppressive behavior. It just pisses them off. Being as disgusting as possible isn't a philosophy. It's just exploitation. I don't think that's what he was doing anyway. I think he was just jerking off in our faces because he found it thrilling.
Consult Michel Delon on the matter of Sade as a philosopher. Or Bataille. There is no doubt that Sade was a philosopher in my mind. Essentially, his work is a critique of the Enlightenment ( Voltaire, Rosseau, and Diderot are his main targets )and the Revolution ( Terror) that followed.
In the mid 60s, Grove Press released The Writings of the Marquis de Sade and I bought it and read it. Over the years, I read segments and in 2023, I read it again. Sade was not a good writer. He was quite verbose and I found reading the book boring and tedious. IMO, reading the Marquis is a waste of time and I cannot recommend doing it.
Learn French and try again. The manuscripts for all his writings have finally been bought from the Germans, so you can expect wildly varying new translations soon enough.
I Read all of his books they were published in America. Most of his books were destroyed in France during the revolution. Unfortunately he used to watch the executions during the reign of terror from the Bastille. He didn’t do anything nearly as bad as the French revolution but he’s the only Royal that didn’t get decapitated and most of his transgressions were merely fantasy written down in a book. Still, we all know after reading books that he was just a little bit over the top..
None of Sade's books were destroyed during the Revolution. Guillaume Apollinaire found them all in the BnF!
Well. Thanks for the video. The Marquis most heinous crime were all the fantasies he described in his books and telling people about the rampant corruption of his times. If you compare this man with the Catholic church officials like priests, nuns, bishops, cardinals and so on, this guy was an altar boy. Being theses Catholic individuals well known rapists and child molesters for centuries, covering each other's terrible activities, simply moving the perps around. Then you have the muslims, selling and buying children, particularly little girls to get married to dirty old bastards, etc. The history of religion is plagued with these abhorrent conducts well known by politicians and governments. Then The war like is explained for example in Paths of Glory by Kubrick, which, was obviously banned everywhere for the exposure of the military hierarchy.... Well, Sade had a lot of fantasy. These monsters I'm talking about were and are very real.
"If you compare this man with the Catholic church officials like priests, nuns, bishops, cardinals and so on, this guy was an altar boy." are you joking? he is as evil as them... stop redeeming this guy...
