Friedrich Nietzsche's 6 Most Controversial Sayings Explained
Idiots like to be in hell. 🤣
I’ve never seen a photo of Satre in which he wasn’t wearing a suit, white shirt, and tie. So he was conforming or accommodating to some ideal image of how a professional businessman should look. He could have dressed like an artist or a more rebellious college professor. So even Sarte didn’t entirely escape certain conventional , societal norms and influences embodied in his image of his presentations of self despite his existential awareness of these influences.
Please save us from this omnipresent anonymous AI male narration.
I will pay you money to have me narrate these instead of Danny Duracell
It's none of your business what other people think of you.
I agree: "HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE!"
The simple truth that "I think therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for 'Universal Truth' had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his and 'western philosophy' fails, thus... Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego!
Voltaire said - tend your garden. Good advice for any era
What a contrast with Levinas
I’m sorry, there isn’t a chance of listening to a talk about Sartre with that horrible AI voice.
A very well meaning person indeed, but sadly lost and confused, “a world without meaning” may sum up his philosophy best.
"O INFERNO SÃO OS OUTROS" in potuguese of Brazil.
If Satre was handsome his philosophy would have changed to follow suit with his experience.
"Les autres - c'est l'enfer." - Satre
everybody serves somebody
I learned that in kindergarten
None of these "pictures" (!) correspond to Sartre's real physiognomy. We are on the verge of entering a world entirely generated by A.I. Soon enough Obama will be a white man and MLK a slave owner.
Leonardo da Vinci wrote: "If you shall be all alone, you shall be totally your".
This AI voice is hell! Every post uses this AI voice. I can't take it I got to fund another voice over!!!!
I’m my own worst enemy is how I see it because I am the responder and could care less for approval when I found out that it is I who has to approve of my self due to experimenting on leaning toward the opposing forces of thoughts/perceptions/feelings/sensations. But it’s easy to understand why people are so agitating when they display abusive tendencies. It is challenging to be free of the influence of others, but there are episodes of freedom so we know that freedom of suffering does exist. To maintain the freedom is how our journey unravels. Hell is losing our own peace. It resides in becoming increasingly aware but how to keep equanimity is indeed our way to peace ending the suffering as the word hell is another word for suffering.
Not every single fuckuer but it is certainly human creation, just like the red horned figure they use to blame for anything that goes wrong and Moloch and the boogie man under their bed all their lives or in the closet of their own fucking minds
Marriage as hell and sometimes children are hell
I love being alone. I’ve been hurt by so many people. Jealousy has always surrounded me. Even my sister has been so envious of jealous and jealous of me that I don’t even understand that kind of hate and jealousy from every which way I turn so I give up I leave them in God’s hands and I’m going to be in my solitude.
Make a Video about Jacque Fresco, please.
A great Existentialist but a personally flawed individual.
The scrutiny and judgment of others has always been a part of what it is to be a member of any tribe or community. But the advent of social media has accelerated that human of all traits into a horrifying dehumanizing practice.
Spot on 🎯
Radiohead’s song “Creep” as the cry of despair from someone who has given away her power to others. ua-cam.com/video/Yt6-gBGCJ-4/v-deo.htmlsi=Qj8F24cTQ3mIMuxc
You also stopped Sartre from squinting.
1:14 I think your AI put just something like a cigarette in the air and created an average of nail snd fingers.
Sartre was blind to the atrocities of Communist regimes.He supported them blindly!E.g.The Soviet Union!
No, it was not Sartre but the Danish 19 Century Christian Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard who was the father of existentialism!
Sarte.is.nihilist.,,, His.thought.is.superficial.... Political.popraganda.such.as.Marxist.and.liberal.are.hell
I live in the real =Huis Clos=.
The comment about the meaning of Sartres's thought is very good. I can say that because I l8ve in hell.
Live in hell, I mean, endlessly. L8ve was a good coincidence: 8 is the form of infinity.
Last form: With no exaggeration, I l8ve in hell, according to the explanation of the video about Sartre's thought. That it is why it sounded perfect to me, according to my own experience. (Now =l8ve= was intentional.)
Oh my fucking god... that fucking text to speech voice. I'm so sick of that bullshit.
Look at any page of Being and Nothingness- pure horse manure, jibberish!!!!!!!!!
Sartre was the father, not of existentialism, but of miserable looks. On a more serious note, Sartre could not have been more wrong. I think he drank too much coffee or smoked something he should not have. Hell is our self. Freedom is, in Zen, Mushin or 'no mind'. Rumination, neurosis, the default mode, negative thinking, self criticism, evaluation and judgement, these are the means by which we build our own prison walls and torture ourselves. Hell is a place of our own creation. In its place, we can achieve nirvana. The Buddhists figured this all out a long time a ago. The Europeans, Schopenhauer etc. discovered it, only recently. Be aware of your own thoughts and you are half way to freedom from them. We call it CBT. Buddha called it awakening. Its the reason why Buddha has a smile and Sartre does not. Cheers. -Daniel
Other people have existed since the beginning of the human race, and will continue to our end; social media is a manifestation of modern science useful for many purposes. along with whatever negativity is associated to it. Everyday Philosophy is using social media here.
Sartre is overtly simplistic in his dramatic phrase hell is other people. Here is the catch. If you follow Sartre's view and do what thou wilt without consideration of others you run the risk of 1. Being an anti- social narcissist. Or 2. You end up self isolating, depressed, lonely and anti-social. Consider John Donne's line " No man is an island entire of itself." There is a more mature solution to the quandary set up in Sartre's No Exit. It is not given that the three persons will torment each other until death. In making this assumption Sartre is projecting his own misanthropic views . It's quite possible that the three help each other to survive their dire situation. That they get to like each other. There is a middle way to Sartre's sad extreme view. Consider the characters in Boccaccio's The Decameron. A group of people are isolated in a castle during the Plague. But they do not turn on each other and fight amongst themselves like self-centre children as Sartre's characters do. No. They do the opposite. They support each other by telling each other tales to provide relief from their confinement. Sartre's philosophy needs reappraisal.
Also the setting for The Man of La Mancha, a means of liberation, not imprisonment.
Ai photos are creepy
He sucks
Just before death we see clearly
Hideous AI-generated pseudo-photographic portraits. Possibly AI generated voice, too.
Also heaven is other people. Who really loves someone knows it.
While I agree with you in the fact that love brings happiness (mostly) and that to love someone you need... well, someone, so "other people", I'm not sure you can say that love allows for the others to be heaven. Or in very specific case Scenarios. In fact, when delving in "No exit", you can find many instances of love between the 3 characters. But love between 2 characters ultimately brings to suffering, as it is unfulfillable due to the constant judgement of the third character So love is more like a double edged sword: Yes, it naturally leads to happiness, but there's also a lot of situations where it simply hurts more than it makes you happy. Be it because it's not reciprocated, because it's unapproved, etc
@Notnohenceforth Of course I admit that love is not easy. But true love implies that you accept your vulnerability, because if you put the protection of your ego as a priority, you lose everything that has to do with love. I accept to be wounded by love. The symbol of Eros like a child-archer who throws arrows is significant; love may start as a wound, and that is the best start, it may help us to recognize that the person we love is a real other person and we can love her/him only as such. You are right in saying that love is like a double blade sword, but everything in life has this ambivalence. I found no help in philosophy to find a significant way in life. Only C.G. Jung has helped me to develop the approach that I feel it's the right method for me. About heaven, well, what idea do we have of it? Total safety? Full and endless pleasure? For me heaven would have no meaning if I were to be alone. That would be hell! I go on living the symbol of the Risen Christ who still has wounds to show to his friends, but the wounds that brought him to death have become sources of a new and fuller life. Thank you for the exchange of ideas. And please forgive me because in this kind of exchange we never know enough of each other's worlds of meanings.
Doesn't this inspire radical individualism and egoism?
Hell is Sartre'
Condemned to be free the existentialists think. No, we are completely determined beings. Free will is just an illusion. I thought Sartre was profound back when I was in college philosophy classes. Now I think he was completely mistaken.
and not being able to listen to others
No one judges you as harshly as we judge ourselves. Often the things we say to ourselves no other person would say to us.
Good point
Be yourself, everyone else is taken! 😅
The pictures used here aren't Sartre. The narrative is just as suspect. Get a life.
