Can I say one thing, you're better at explaining than Peterson. At least that's my perception after taking weeks to get the information you summarize in twenty minutes. Say hi to Ignatius and Popota for me!
The creator of this channel is a living hero archetype. Sacrificing his time and freedom, wrestling with his inner demons. What for? To educate and reawaken people like us, so that we can in turn begin our own hero journeys.
I love them! They are 2 Brothers from Canada, trying to help free our minds. Definately Heroes! Oh and Giving an opportunity to donate isnt necessarily "profit."
Also the anti-hero here to inculcate us to ideological and emotional libertarian tendencies. Sure it reflects a lot of these thinkers' worries but he keeps doomsaying about collectivism and hardly stops to recognize its role, the role of selflessness, etc. He doesn't give time to opposing viewpoints, such as statism. Plus what about religion as deindividuation that hijacks myth? Inb4 I'm not saying he really is an anti-hero, since I expect most people serious about these ideas can think for themselves. Maybe I'm wrong. But do notice how one can use jungian symbolism however one wants since symbols allow countless interpretations. Like others have commented, maybe the hero, maybe the magician, who the hell knows, today he might be your mother- in a sense.
Jung and Nietzsche are incredibly motivating - for the first time I can appreciate my personal hell. Once appreciation for it was felt, hope glimmered again. Thanks Carl.
@@maggyfrog That's because as humans a lot don't like when you follow the beat of your own drum, it's also because they lack the wisdom to hear out different points of view and accept them as that persons truth
thatsfunk22 i'm saying that state worship isn't the only thing that leads to division and conflict, in fact most kinds of worship lead to that. i'm not talking about individualism.
@thatsfunk22 in the end, humans are going to act like imperfect humans. myth or no myth, the struggle and all the good and bad will always exist in one form or another. i don't think that the lack of myths is what's wrong today. it's the lack of understanding why the human brain wants to make sense of a world / reality that is not obligated to make sense to humans. in other words, replacing the myths with something else or going back to the myths will yield to the same results. it's the human mind that has the issues and imperfections.
‘I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.’ - Camus
Absolutely fantastic. I know I will come back many times to this video, to energize myself and refresh all this knowledge. Your videos are invaluable to me! Thank you!
I've always known this unconsciously...that I will be responsible to write my own story. Yet for the longest time I blamed others ( absent father, naive mother) and have drifted aimlessly in life; only to start truly carrying my own cross (so to speak) in the past year or so. It is a great burden, and frankly I find myself in fear of what's to come. It is true that it takes much courage to keep on when there is no present mythos to live by in our modern day life...yet the prospect of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, the treasure after the dragon, or reading a great fiction which enacts our all too human experience allows me hope- that I have meaning in my life, that beauty is at my reach, that everything has its worth. Good luck and God (mythos version ;) bless
im a 19 year old frat guy in college who has been doing this unconsciously my whole life and im starting to piece it together and it honestly freaks me the fuck out but i cant help it because deep down i love this stuff. starting to walk around and in a non egotistical way viewing everyone as idiots and its so damn sad
Academy of Ideas! What a masterpiece UA-cam channel ! Who else better than Nietzsche and Jung can explain the human psyche?! Not only they go too deep,but also they go beyond what could be possibly thought of when it comes to analysing the psyche.
8:56 I think this is similiar to what Camus was saying. The act of accepting the crushing indifference of the universe and flourishing despite the presence of ultimate futile absurdity is another way to create a hero in oneself.
I think the universe is more like a blank canvas. Not "indifferent" but full of possibilities and choice. Also, "the presence of ultimate futile absurdity" sounds like Nihilism with an extra helping of Nihilism. Never accept things you can change by looking at them differently. I think it was Red Fox that said " Hero's are not born - They are cornered ". Otherwise I fully agree !
You make fantastic videos and articulate thoughts with perfectly placed quotes. I just want you to know how much I and so many others appreciate the videos you make
I can't say it enough, thank you so much for this channel! You are doing a great job of compromising highly deep and complex ideas into relatively short videos, which deliver a great deal of their essence. For me, especially Carl Jung's and Nietzsche's work are contributing significantly to my personal development and help getting a whole different perspective on how to deal with the dynamics and personality of life. Jordan Peterson also brings together much of these contents and puts them into modern context while adhering to the original structure of their message. It is really relevant and valuable to have someone like you, who keeps these profound thoughts alive and spreads ideas in the way you do.
Many thanks, and please keep these videos coming. You're helping a great many of us. I've been inspired to explore all kinds of different intellectual pathways because of these videos. It's true, we live in an age when the individual has been divested of the meaning conferred by a common culture and myth, a devastating albeit liberating development. The individual now has to create his own meaning. We each need to walk alone, grappling through the darkness towards our own light.
The work of Mr Joseph Campbell is one of the most important works developed on the last century. Its time for us to start to recognize it. Thats the knowledge, i appreciate the Video
Thank you so much for posting this material ! I love your channel and the work you do. The timing of you uploading this video is what Jung might have considered a synchronicity in my life. Ive been studying a lot of Jung and Nietzsche over the last two years
Being born into this "mythless existence" is often considered a curse. But through a different lens, it is a great blessing. We are therefore tasked to create our own myth, one from within.
Greetings from Greece my friend, your channel is pure gold. You know sometimes i go to Athens downtown, near Parthenon area to think while walk. You give me a great opportunity do go again. Thank you.
We are ALL capable of embodying the Übermensch! The bridges have been erected, and we are the ones who have made it to the other side! Let us slay the last men that are within us, and lead as an example to the last men who exist outside us, so that we may move the world toward balance! We are the bearers of this universe; we shall hold our weight!
I'm amazed by your video. I'm currently reading Joseph Campbell and Nietzsche, and your work resonnates with it. We're living in the age of the heroes... Wow, that's vertiginous.
Great video! I think that The Age of the Hero to which you were referring to certainly alludes to Nietzsche's Overman. One is still able to use nihilism creatively where nihilism exists
Yeeh! Finally more videos, Nietzsche and Jung two of my favotire thinkers, thanks for spreading this knowledge in such a great way. Meaningful life is a hero's journey.
Your videos have helped me for a lot I used to be lost and hurt but now since I’ve been introduced to your eye opening presentations from all these great thinkers and such I thank you hope these videos keep coming love from Bavaria
Really astounding work. You are a master of your craft, and I am lucky and grateful to have the experience you put out into the world. Bless your heart.
Thanks you so much for your Videos. You are timeless. Sometimes it just takes so long but you are the best on UA-cam. You bring the past, present and future into the perspective of wisdom. I love You, I learned a lot I couldn't even dream of in this veloci-pedic age. Your the SUPERMAN... Nietzsche you are. We are all Antipodes. I love you bro.
Amazing, this is so dense and significant in several levels. I'm not sure if everybody who's watching this can grasp everything. I feel like making a detailed video/ essay on deconstructing this to make sure that everybody around me understand its importance.
So all this means is each individual can create the Myth of his/her dreams! That’s exciting, empowering and certainly brings meaning to a meaningless world. Excellent, excellent video 🙏🏽
This is why I subscribed. Because I face the same issues, we all do. But it is so difficult to find a community who even will listen to this sort of content. Or ever be interested in it, but I think that we all are intrinsically interested, just afraid. Afraid to renounce our pride, to stock up our egos. I only see two futures, one of the mass collective ideological societies we see present today and the other of incredible individual heroes. Imagine the possibilities if you lived next door to a soon to awoken Jung, Nietzsche, Odysseus, Hercules, etc. Anyone has the possibility to be a hero. And they are heroes, just they are too afraid to be their own world, be their own life, too afraid to let go of the collectivism that entices us to stay 'normal' and weak.
Thank you. Due to your excellent introduction, I have come to believe that another reading of Zarathustra might very well expand my horizons. Again, thank you.
I think one way people could reconnect with myth is through a revaluing of art. As art, in whatever form it manifests, has a unique ability to motivate the individual. But sadly many people dismiss practical uses of art.
No ! That's nihilism. Like looking at chipped glass and deciding it's damaged and irreparable therefor useless. Imagine what Nietzsche could have done for humanity if he had not been ill. Genius gone sideways and few are even aware of the unfortunate results - for generations. Took me years to finally see this. I thought I was a realist, but now I see it was only one way of many ways to look at reality. You can't just pick one way they are all important. Perseverance wins the day. Good Luck and Best Wishes to all. And Happy Holidays
Keyboard Corrector reality could very well just be subjective. There is most likely no “ground” to the Universe. A kind of hallucination appearing in nothingness without even a perceiver
I am watching this, in quarentin, while having a mental breakdown, confronting my past -that I belived, had overcome- This makes me feel better in a really painful way. (I feel like a wrote this really poorly, but I am a native spanish speaker, be gentle)
I looked at my poster of Guts while he saying that. Berserk is a big part of my myth, I find the image of Guts to be extremely powerful to overcome my own struggles.
Nietzsche & Jung at the same time? Say no more! Good video 👍🏻 And I agree with the "age of the hero" thing : the ones who can gives life meaning without religious/archetypal meaning is truly courageous.
7:16 - 7:36 This is precisely why most "individuals" have more in common with pigments than mosaics. Rather than trying to define themselves with multiple traits and grab the proverbial bull by the horns single-handedly, they latch on to groups and the hoi polloi for "meaning" and a sense of belonging. People will argue that the latter is natural and human, but that's easy to say when social conditioning and conformity are rampant, even in countries that are relatively more individualistic than others. One only needs to look at the extreme right and left for proof since the closer to the edge of the political spectrum you find yourself in, the generally more tribalistic you become. Ralph Emerson and Henry Thoreau are spinning in their graves, and I'm saying this as a fond admirer of Transcendentalism. Swell upload as usual!
Well done ... thoughtful, wonderful inquiry .... unfolding a meaningful inner ‘myth’ ‘purpose’ ‘meaning’ wrestling with the inner dragons 🐉 ✨✨💫🙏🏼. Going beyond the external maps, concepts, myths that have become emptied out ... into the mystery of our consciousness...
you know, usually i think channels like these are shit. thankfully, despite your slight arrogance at times, youre not the school of life. i used to struggle with depression, anxiety, and thoughts and impulses that were very (self) destructive, driven from an inner chaos. losing control over yourself is terrifying. as if smething outside you overcomes you, sheer terror makes it hard to breathe. i was unable to see a psychiatrist, so i had to overcome these demons myself. i always hated sports, but pusing myself to my utmost physical limits and beyond gave me the control and discipline i lacked to master my own demons. from self harm to self overcoming, i no longer rest in my shadow but in my sun. ive overcome the petty child, i no longer am blind to these demons within me. through work, breathing, and struggle, ive harnessed this chaos and become its master, no longer its slave. reading philosophy used to fuel my dread but now it is liberating. thank you.
I've done a little bit of thinking about Nihilism lately and have noticed it seems some people view it as the end of the road. Once you decide nothing matters then that's it. But unless you off yourself then and there, it isn't the end. Life goes on. Nihilism represents a fork in the road for anyone who can't find meaning outside themselves. If nothing matters, then your options are to either go on as a miserable schmuck being a drain on the lives of others with your negativity, or you can decide to then be happy for the sake of being happy.

Hi Academy! I have subtitled "Why Passivity Breeds Mediocrity", please review and approve!
Can I say one thing, you're better at explaining than Peterson. At least that's my perception after taking weeks to get the information you summarize in twenty minutes. Say hi to Ignatius and Popota for me!
Thank you for all of your work. You may or may not realise just how much you have helped me.
The creator of this channel is a living hero archetype.
Sacrificing his time and freedom, wrestling with his inner demons. What for?
To educate and reawaken people like us, so that we can in turn begin our own hero journeys.

Or he is the magician's archetype, who teaches and connects us with ourself and culture.

Suddenly when you put it like that, it feels worth it. What an unexpectedly refreshing reprieve.
Tell me about it

“The worship of the state does not produce cultural unity but instead breeds division, conflict, and death.” YES
but to be fair, most kinds of worship lead to division, conflict and death.

i used to struggle with depression, anxiety, and thoughts and impulses that were very (self) destructive, driven from an inner chaos. losing control over yourself is terrifying. as if smething outside you overcomes you, sheer terror makes it hard to breathe. i was unable to see a psychiatrist, so i had to overcome these demons myself. i always hated sports, but pusing myself to my utmost physical limits and beyond gave me the control and discipline i lacked to master my own demons. from self harm to self overcoming, i no longer rest in my shadow but in my sun. ive overcome the petty child, i no longer am blind to these demons within me. through work, breathing, and struggle, ive harnessed this chaos and become its master, no longer its slave. reading philosophy used to fuel my dread but now it is liberating.
thank you.
Powerful as always, AoI
I've done a little bit of thinking about Nihilism lately and have noticed it seems some people view it as the end of the road. Once you decide nothing matters then that's it. But unless you off yourself then and there, it isn't the end. Life goes on. Nihilism represents a fork in the road for anyone who can't find meaning outside themselves. If nothing matters, then your options are to either go on as a miserable schmuck being a drain on the lives of others with your negativity, or you can decide to then be happy for the sake of being happy.
I love this channel! Amazing content!
