      Hey, sorry, I know this is totally unrelated to the actual content of the video, but could you please tell me what the little device in the intro (0:04 - 0:08 ) is called? I've tried to google it; is it a "water-clock"? A drip clock? Please, I'm too curious. It's such a potent visual metaphor for certain philosophical ideas; dialectics, Chinese goblet words, etc.

      The Golem might not be a physical creation but a spirit.

      Is there a connection between God speaking the world into existence and the Golem not being able to speak. You called it able-ist in the video, but I'd be interested in that thread, if your willing to follow it.

    Your point about the Golem being born out of trauma and that the Golem is probably afraid of itself reminds me of a quote about Kaiju by Ishiro Honda:
    "Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them."

      Reminds me of one rendition of the Frankenstein Story where the Creature was slowly willing to integrate into society; but was driven mad that his Creator rejected him and refused to help him. Most of what he learned was from a blind old Farmer he helped out with field work during the day while the old Farmer taught him how to speak few languages, writing, and reading. (Farmer was blind from age degeneration so could teach how to write and read from memory). The only thing that stopped it was when the old Farmer's Son In-Law came for a visit was disturbed by the Creature's abnormal appearance. (The Farmer assumed the Creature was merely an especially tall muscular man). The Son In-Law decided to drive the Creature away; afterwards the Creature accidentally found his Creator's Younger Brother and accidentally killed him in an argument about why the Creator abandoned the Creature. Afterwards people kept accusing the Creatures for random murders.

    I loved this.... I love golem stories and any occult or mystical literature on the golem.
    Back in the 90s when I was in college I wrote a report on the golem. I remember I talked about the humonculus, frankinstein, and how shelley used the golem story as part of her story. I also added modern golem stories from movies. Like terminator, terminator 2, and data from ST TNG and bladerunner. Then saying that data, robots and androids are just future looking golems.

    I love the core of empathy that ties so much of your work together (and the smattering of nerdy historical jokes). I particularly like these more high level, accessible conversations, and would love to hear you talk more about your thoughts about the relationship humans have with magic and technology 💙
    One thing I have been thinking lately that seems a bit counter intuitive is that when looking at the world through the lens of magic, my impression is that the cost of that control or understanding is front and center to the person involved. Whereas I think in modern times, we have a tendency to overlook the costs of our technology. Things appear on our doorsteps and disappear in our trashcans, without too much thought from us (until maybe the pandemic or supply chain issues). In a way, one of these seems to be much closer to the disparaging interpretation of "magical thinking" than the other
    Just a thought. Keep up the great work and have a nice day!

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
      Your comment reminds me of an article written in Psychology Today called 'The Hunger for the Marvelous'. It made the observation that, as science and technology advance and our understanding of how the universe works increases, there has been a sort of backlash where interest in the occult and esoteric studies increases in response to that. This argues that there may be a fundamental need in humanity for things that aren't or can't be explained in terms of hard scientific logic. That there is a need for the world to be a place for awe and magic.

    Dr. Sledge, I absolutely love your channel. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and wisdom. When you talked about the Trinity test, I recall Oppenheimer's quotation from the Bhagavad Gita "I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds" on realizing the destructive force he'd helped create. Also Einstein's trepidation about sharing his famous equation E=mc^2 that proved that the atom bomb was possible with the US military scientists. It's the universal question of how we should use the knowledge we acquire that goes on even today.

    • @haleya18

    As you are discussing the concept of the Golem, Dr. Sledge, I can’t help but think of the Sumerian tale of Enki and his sister making servants from the clay, in terms of their imperfections. It’s fascinating how our stories intertwine.. regardless of the timeline. Move the cursor forward in time to the MetaVerse being proffered by Mark Z., and the same certainly holds true to form. I prefer the natural to the artificial.. despite the flaws.

    So , my understanding of a golem is not always a supernatural being , but also refers to any human , animal or device that is programmed for a specific purpose , regardless of wether or not the motivations of the programmer are based on causing or preventing trauma .
    Most breeds of dogs could be considered golems as most breeds were carefully bred to serve specific purposes .
    Israel’s “ Iron Dome defense system “ could also be seen as a golem .

    I've read Leiwick's play "The Golem" (orig. „Der Geulem“), and in that it seems that Joseph (the titular golem) has some existential issues like how Maharal calls him a human, but then treats him like only a tool. The issue in that play imo is that Maharal refuses to realise the Golem is an entity with free will, and does what he wants to.

    I like the take Stan Lem took when writing his "Golem XIV" s-f story, where scientists create giant electron mind, which is so intelligent it no longer can communicate with simple creature like people, but also becomes immensely depressed and introverted.
    It's actually a very new take on the notion of "powerful creature", one which does not deprive it of it's own individuality.
    The most perplexing thing about the original golem story is precisely that for some reason, despite the tradition You mentioned, that golem suppose to be a "artificial person", somehow, in the stories, it does not exhibit the actual personhood, will of it's own, let alone intelligence. You would expect a creature created by magic to excel in all those areas, rather then just be a giant brute force.
    I think Stan Lem tried in his way to return the original, if not positive, then at least ambiguous and properly anthropomorphic notion of this artificial individuality.
    After all we also have such stories, as f.ex. "Iron Giant", which try to return somehow the benevolence to the story of such creations, and maybe give hope that indeed some of them may come about with the help of God, rather then just from human anxieties and passions.
    Ultimately maybe our anxiety about our creations is really the anxiety about the level of our own humanity, piety, personhood, reflected in them. The lesser of humans we are as designers and creators, the more our creations reveal a monstrous side to them.
    For me the golem story has to be ultimately a centuries old call to excellence in study and art rather then overall discouragement.

    I just 'chanced upon' this discussion and subscribed. I appreciate the clear, analytical discussion of what the Vedic philosophy that I have been trying to familiarise myself with for some years describes as " the divine and demoniac natures".
    Is this channel run by the rabbi talking about the Golem legend? So will my subscription bring up more talks by him discussing topics of ancient Jewish tradition and teachings? Or is this channel run by the two people starting of the discussion with questions? In that case, is this a channel that informs people about various ancient philosophical traditions?
    I am interested in hearing more about the parallels between the different traditions. I am trying to avoid the plethora of the 'voodoo voodoo yikes yikes ' screaming madness videos that the internet is awash with. They don't realise that they actually conjure up those elements by treating the topic in that way. We need education like this to raise our consciousness and get stronger together through knowledge.

    I keep thinking... AI- is a sort of Golem? Golems are brought to life with a sort of code, so to speak, as are AI written in code. Just a thought.

    There was an episode on the X-Files about the Golem. "Kaddish". I wonder how accurate it was.

    Woo... insightful.. thanks.. its deep about what you create out of pain will haunt you.. I can defiantly see AI potential for being the future mudd to create a golem with.. And heck.. I now also see the terminator movies as more modern Golem story..

    The Golem and the Jinni is one of my All time favorite books, and there is an Excellent documentary here on UA-cam about said Topic. I have always loved this, I study the Kabbalah since the first time I picked up Modern Magick, And Trancidental Magic after that buy Levi which is my All time favorite occult books as well as Agrippa and The Magus by F.B and since I leaned The clay Magick man, I have loved the story, I really wonder if it's real. But it sounded too stupid I think dirt and poop is involved.

    Dr. Sledge is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Not with the historical value of Occult and Esoteric practices in the past "Although that is why I am here" his comical lines and genuine passion while bringing to us his wealth of knowledge takes away the monotony of the run of the mill channels

    The "Prague golem" does not have soul...
    I mean, when I was there, in Prague, I felt nothing of the real mysticism I empathically feel when in a place. The holocaust "soul" is strong there though, so make sure you visit the cemetery there. Also, the Spanish synagogue is breathtaking.
    Much love to you all ❤

    I personally think the idea was picked up during the exile in Babylon due to people reading the Epic of Gilgamesh- the goddess Aruru creates Enkidu out of clay to have a warrior that can stand up to Gilgamesh

    The guy who played the golem was an old roommate's great-Uncle. He was not treated well.

      Curious what you mean by "not treated well"? He was the director of the movie as well.
