#VaushPit #Denver
the obsession with womans sexuality is absolutly insane in far right groups
And it’s absolutely insane how many women are in the far right and just accept how they act towards them
That entire side of the political spectrum is sexually repressed to a ridiculous degree, it's their whole reason for existing at this point. It's pathetic and would be sad if it weren't so dangerous.
@@allisoncastle lol it’s obvious what the women are doing there , they are there for male attention and being accepted in most mysogenstic groups is a challenge and a lot of these females try to make money and get attention .. I’m a vaush fan no where near right wing but a saw nick Fuentes clip talking about women grifting far right movement and usually we always disagree with him , he was kinda right on that one
@@goldenmemes51 do you think Fuentes himself is not also out for money and attention lol
Authorians think people should be punished for breaking rules, particularly around sex, they're really weird about sex.
So he wrote a book under a pseudonym, but named the main character after himself and set it in the same area he lived?
Right-wingers are not too bright
Conservatives lack imagination.
Most competent right-winger
And they say Marry Sues are too much of a Self Insert
@@PancakemonsterFO4 Yeah, but most Mary Sues are TOO perfect. When have you ever heard of a Mary Sue where the character was a chronic dumbfuck?
As a philosophy student, it bothers me so much when people equivocate metaphisics with "spirituality" or "religion". Also when they believe philosophy is about "things phisics don't know yet".
It bothers me because we can argue constantly about what is spiritual, religious, or just metaphysical, and a lot of people will argue they are all the same because they don't comprehend what the words actually mean. And then when people try to explain how each differ in their own way, its difficult to get it across some idiots.
Its actually the one reason I dislike anti theists specifically, because they are so fixated on theism being supernatural, that anything that is not necessarily explainable can immediately be dismissed as "well we can't confirm exists in that way so youre wrong".
And thats primarily the reason why I stay away from discussions on topics like the metaphysical.
@@DeathProductions200 What? but Theism is supernatural
@@avinashreji60 but its the immediate dismissal many do for concepts that fit within the metaphysical.
I'm so glad I had philosophy in middle school lmao
@@DeathProductions200 can you give one example?
Oh boy, another incident to be ignored by the general public
Just like the boise alt right mall attack
Can't wait for something extremely similar like this to happen again, under the same circumstances, by somebody that's almost completely identical!
Its already gone from many news outlets and trending. One day later. I mean they did have massive massive fires in the news as well, but this is an important bookmark in right wing fascist terrorism. Which is definitely what this was.
Surely the blame lays more with the media as opposed to everyday people?
@@cosmickeystomycreationandtimes Everyday people are what drive the profit incentives of the general media. If this story is just "a regular Tuesday" to Americans then even the noncorrupt Media will not highlight just how bad it is.
My brother manages a tattoo shop in the area and was friends with some of the victims. One of the ladies in particular, Alicia Cardenas, was a significant leader in the local tattoo/piercing community especially in providing a place for LGBTQ+, women, and POC to establish themselves in the industry. This whole thing is just so fucking tragic I have no words other than I just feel so lucky that he either didn't target or hadn't reached my brother's shop before he was stopped.
The FBI: How could we have known?
The shooter: *writes unhinged 800 page manifesto featuring himself and publishes it online.*
And he made money on it
Reminds me of the FBI informing Bush that there was terrorists in our country, at flight schools, planning to fly planes into buildings. Before 9/11
Bush: the report wasn't clear enough. (After 9/11)
Tbf under the current laws I don’t think he can be arrested just for writing an unhinged book
@@beowyfe well, if so, they got what they wanted, just not the way they expected...
@@beowyfe not even that. Three times is a pattern. They were waiting until the threequel.
Ever notice how most acts of domestic terrorism are far right?
It's not most. It's literally all of them. I've never heard of a screed scribbling lefty mass shooter or bomber. In my lifetime. It's why they had to dig through that Wisconsin guy's Facebook and lie about its contents.
The FBI has even admitted this. They haven't had lefty terror attacks in decades, and even when they did it was predominantly attacks against property. And the funny thing is, they categorize religiously motivated terror, black nationalist, and misogynistic/incel terror separate from far right terror attacks. So even if you break down what I would consider sub categories of right wing ideological attacks, each of those sub categories outweighs left wing attacks by orders of magnitude.
@@walexander8378 it's most. There is some left wing terrorism, but it is exceedingly rare and tends to target property first and people second, unlike the right which loves mass shootings.
@@walexander8378 there was the one guy who shot at the baseball field....but that's the only 'left' influenced shooting that i'm aware of.
@@walexander8378 the only time I can think it might have been a leftist was with the glorious dorn doing some hog hunting. Even then there are plenty of Americans who have reason to hate cops without being leftist
This was undoubtedly a terrorist attack imo
In this case, I don't think it counts as a terrorist attack, because he targeted specific people he knew. One important distinction between terrorism and other forms of violence, even political violence is that the targets of terrorism are fungible. The targets of a terrorist attack are, to an extent, arbitrary; they simply exist in proximity to, or are representative of, some group.
@@Pluveus Thats a good explanation.
@@Pluveus According to google "Terrorism is defined as political violence in an asymmetrical conflict that is designed to induce terror and psychic fear (sometimes indiscriminate) through the violent victimization and destruction of noncombatant targets (sometimes iconic symbols)"
Sorry, this was a terrorist attack, make whatever excuses you want but you'd be wrong
I like how op doesnt know what terrorism is
One of the craziest stories I've ever heard. The worst part about this is that even if you saw it coming, nothing could've been done.
Give police the power to kill or arrest people and lock them up forever without a warrant
@@firefly9838 lol nice bait
@@firefly9838 This is probably a troll but on the off-chance it is not I wanted to get your opinion in this recipe for banana pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 shakes of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla and bananas.
Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/3 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.
@@MrFlackle seems legit. I make cinnamon pancakes myself.
another one of the craziest is is that half of Colorado's suburbs just burned down, and then they had the first snow this year, a blizzard, the day after the fires, a blizzard on new years eve, to put out massive fires. so a shooting, fires, and and a blizzard, 3 days in a row.

Looking at how old Norse culture viewed people like Grettir Ásmundarson and Egill Skallagrímsson, I'd say it's pretty safe to assume this murderous pos would never get to dine in Óðins halls.
He is why watch lists exist. The problem is the watchers over-empathize with a white face. I hate even saying that, but I can't see how it isn't true.
White face and right-wing politics.
I like the picture comparing a photo of a white Republican congressman/senator’s family photo featuring the assembled firepower of a small island nation to a photo of what can be summarised as brown people with guns, captioned with a tweet about how only one of those elicits a “yay, freedom” response from Americans. Exactly the same idea.
@@TAP7a link please?
Nah, tattoos go WAAAAAY back to ancient times in many societies. Numerous cultures around the world practiced tattooing for various purposes. Many of these societies were considered “barbarous” for this by cultures that considered themselves more “civilized.” (notably the Han Chinese and Romans, who did not practice tattooing and had a stigma against it).
yeah I was gonna say that..
also, in more primitive cultures tattoos were done as part of boy moving onto manhood. so, one could see them as "mark of man".
in contrast, early 1900's western countries tattoos were seen as mark of lower class, as
they were something that criminals, sailors and circus freaks used to have.
meaning and wearers of tattoos are so woven into culture, and nowadays they tend to be" whatever you want them to be". some, like me, see them as beautiful body art, some link them more deeper meanings.
Feel like Voosh meant that, /*they*/ see modern tattoos as degenerate and defiling the body (especially on women), not so much that they were a recent cultural thing
@@Hogminn i don't think anyone here thinks vaush said tattoos are recent thing. more like, we expain why alt-righter might not see them as "modern degeneracy" - the history and different meaning of tattoos are free to find for all.
@@Hogminn What no, he said straight up that people didn't mark their body back in the day and that it was a recent thing. Don't know where you get that he was implying that someone else thought that, he clearly said it.
This is the most premeditated murder spree ever.
Ah horseapples and hogwash; governments plan much larger scale tragedies over far longer periods of time. Kinda the same vibe, though.
Merry holidays for you too!

5:47 I mean not really. Tattoos have existed for thousands of years. They've been a thing for basically as long as society has.
They should seize all of his money and pay the victims' healthcare bills with it, although he definitely won't have enough money for all of them because it's so damn expensive.

plains fires. We're not doing so hot over in weed land
I think Asmongold once joked (like maybe a year or few years ago) about how "Americans do have a universal healthcare system, it's called GoFundMe... It's like a popularity contest, if you lose, you die..." That's probably paraphrasing since its been ages and while I think it's in a video I've no idea which one, but I just find that so damn funny...
Brennan Lee Mulligan made a similar joke in a CollegeHumor sketch as the CEO of GoFundMe.

@@VicStrange9 Well I'm actually Canadian lol
Glad that a woman took the misogynist out.
SOOOOOOO TRUE: the weight of conservative politics on modern media has made it so that someone has to say the obvious thing out loud on fucking good reads.
Edit: I actually reached out to Vausch because of this topic, as an author who has ghostwritten quite a few books, I have found that the even hint of something that conservatives are against is a infinite measure. This has more to do with how conservative commentators react to ANYTHING that they may possibly disagree with.
I think it’s a topic that picking his brain could help us (as writers) portray these literal debates with editors and higher ups in a way that we can be a little less monitored.
Tattoos aren't modern. We have found tattoos on stone age mummies.
the conciousness tangent frustrates me so much because everyone's overcomplicating it.
Conciousness is a process, therefore it's difficult, if not impossible, to actually measure. Take, for example, a school. Can you show the education happening? You cannot. You could run tests on the number of students, on where those students go each day, or on what the students know. But you can't measure the *education*, because education is a process, and not an actual thing.
Conciousness is the same way. You can measure brain activity. You can measure reasoning capabilities, but you cannot measure conciousness. It's not difficult to understand. It's not supernatural.
I think the thing is that an "active" brain is conscious, whereas one with no brain activity at all is not. Tying consciousness to the brain, or a brain like structure, a thing that partakes in the actions of consciousness, is a physical structure of a sort capable of performing the tasks of consciousness; rendering consciousness a byproduct of physical material. Measuring it seems biased towards the interests of whoever sets the standards; if the organism is surviving then it works.
A nitpick , tattoos have been around for thousands of years
Tattoos are absolutely not modern.
Ötzi had tattoos and he died like 5000 years ago. Those are admittedly just small markings, but an an-prim lifestyle with tattoos is not a dealbreaker
His website is still active a lot of famous people in the manosphere reviewed his book and he posted those reviews on his website. Of course everyone that previously associated with this guy are doing damage control and scattering like cockroaches deleting their reviews,interviews and podcasts with this guy.
I think people get really uncomfortable when they have to deal with the fact that there are things like consciousness that can’t be scientifically measured. It showcases that no matter how smart human’s as a species think we are, there is so much we don’t and will likely never be able to know.
I can't speak for anyone else, but the only thing that bothers me about it is the arrogance of those who believe that because we don't understand something (yet) it means we should just shut up and accept whatever supernatural nonsense they dream up about it.
I think it's fascinating to think that our consciousness is an experiential phenomena emergent from our biology. And we don't even directly experience most of it. That's fascinating. But to then attribute that to "God" (and usually a particular flavour of God that typically comes with a whole bunch of arbitrary beliefs, taboos, values and practices and restrictive institutionalism) is flinching from the unknown only to embrace an unreconcilable complex of unknowns that is glued together with millennia of cultural, institutional and political baggage.
@@sbushido5547 This; please, for the love or intellectual honesty, just _accept_ that you don't know something.
@@sbushido5547 preach! I do think life is a miracle. The fact we have consciousness the way we do is quite something. But I ain't gonna just chop it up to some invisible omnipotent sky daddy just cause I don't know how this miraculous thing came to be. IMHO the idea it was all just random chance that we evolved the way we have is way cooler then thinking somebody or something hand made us.
Consciousness is one of those things that you know what it is, until you have to explain it to someone
Dude read turner diaries and thought. "Hey I can top that."
It's a whole goddamn genre of sickos.
Weird take on tattoos at @6:00. They come almost directly from indigenous people in various parts of the world, and in "white" societies have been counterculture for a long time. There's nothing "decadent" about them, at least not yet.
So the dude wrote fanfic about his future murders
Watching the rave reviews and recommendations for his book disappear one by one off the internet is hilarious
its terrifying to see a shooting in your own neighborhood, and wonder if your friends are alright
Thank you, Voosh.
I’m surprised this hasn’t gotten much National coverage
Colorado has not been having a good time. And i say that as someone who lives in boulder co, so I would know.

Holy shit Vaush, have you never seen Highlander? :D
This all happened like 2 minutes from me. I go to Belmar all the time. In fact, I had just seen Spider-Man there a few days prior.
"Denver shooting" Which one?
I think your analysis is probably correct. I grew up around people like this guy and they don’t start out like that. Over time I saw them become more and more extreme. That’s why when I was old enough I ran as far away from them as I could. Personally, I know I have issues of my own but at least (I feel anyways) I am not consumed by hate. When I realize I am wrong I try to correct it. I might feel hurt maybe even act a little bratty but I come around. Yeah, Co is freaking wild and not in an interesting or fun way. There’s a lot of hate here and I fear for the state I now call home
“...Co is freakin wild and not in an interesting and fun way.” I’m curious to know if you’ve always felt like this? Or do you find it to me a more relatively recent observation? I recently lived in the Denver area for almost 3 years and have been struggling to articulate my experience. This describes it pretty well. CO is such an incredibly beautiful state, but I had this inexplicable sense of foreboding pretty much the whole time I was there. Just my experience. Most people I know absolutely love it there.
OMG, Vaush never saw Highlander!
His surname is indeed pronounced ‘…cloud’, it’s based on the Gaelic spelling (I’m a Scots Gaelic speaker 😊)
Litríonn sibh go mícheart é... a smaoiním!!! 😂 sorry lol I don’t know Scottish spelling/grammar so you can have the next best thing... Irish!
I actually took a little time to read the free preview of the first Sanction book on Amazon. It's every bit as much pretentious, unhinged rambling in lieu of a story as you would expect.
Has any MSM covered the fact that far right public figures associated with him?? I haven’t seen any so if anyone has I’m genuinely asking. Of course I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t.
6:00 Often V drops some real wisdom + I can enjoy V's takes, even when i don't agree. Other times I'm forced to click off a video at mouth-breather sh*t like "tattoos are modern why would a primitivist have tattoos" & I'm not in the mood to watch someone speak for 20mins after breaking my trust like that. I mean --- indigenous people exist, have for millennia, & some of the oldest art in the world is permanent pigmented body art. For the times he brings up his Sociology major that seems like a pretty ignorant oversight.
And even with that obvious oversight, it's not even accurate in a European context. That was incredibly dumb
it really isn't that serious. It was an offhand 10 second comment referring to specifically the current modern American perception of tattoos. He said something about a punisher tattoo after.
He has a habit of switching between expressing his own opinion literally and sarcastically mocking the opinion of his opponents without a clear indicator that the switch is happening.
It makes understanding his position difficult
He's obviously speaking from a Western culture frame of reference. Stop trying to be so outraged.
"breaking my trust" lol
I saw this in my recommendation and I legit thought another shooting happened but then I remembered the Denver shooting
Some people just love snitching on themselves🤷🏾♂️
Off topic but invisible man is one of the best books I’ve ever read
Which Invisible Man is he talking about? H G Wells or some alt-right garbage?
We've had tattoos for a long time vaush
Yeah, that part was eye-roll worthy. Tattoos are found on ancient people and are especially important in many indigenous cultures. His take on this was pretty eurocentric / puritanical. Dude's still a monster. But tattooing doesn't go against tough guy mythology. Lol.
Once someone believes their on “gods mission” they will do anything because they’re disconnected from the consequences of their actions. Scary shit.
"Tatoos are just modern art" literally ignores millennia of different societies using tattoos in a variety of ways, one of which being to celebrate their warriors/hunter, etc. Smdh.
Vaush confirmed for not a fan of Highlander
Macleod claimed he was strong, but now he's dead.
Curious indeed.
this is literally minutes from me and this is the first hearing about it. crazy how desensitized everyone is to it now
I'm white and (ostensibly) male, so what am I doing wrong that I don't feel like I'm the eternal victim?
You're not right enough?
Thinking.
I think most last names that start with "Mc" are Irish while most that start with "Mac" are Scottish, but there's also sometimes where you'll have an Irish "Mac" name or a Scottish "Mc" name... Plus sometimes a last name can have both Irish and Scottish families with it of course...
mc and mac come from the same gaelic surname syntax. o is the same way (o'neill, o'riley). mcleod is from the scots gaelic mac leòid (son of leòd)
@@Liliputian07 I think I read a few days ago that if you go back far enough, I think the o' in some last names like "O'Malley" for example is derived from how REAAAAAALLY old Irish last names had "Ua" in them... Like "Diarmuid Ua Duibhne" from Irish mythology... You see it a lot in the Crusader Kings games too I think...
Various other cultures also have similar aspects to their names sometimes, like "von" with Germanic names, "van" with Dutch ones... Or they might have something at the end like how a bunch of Scandinavian countries have "-sson" at the end... And those all basically signify one of two things usually I think, either it's being used to be like "John (of (surname) family)" kinda, OR it's being used to mean like "John (son/grandson of (ancestor's name))"
At least those are how I see a lot of name prefixes/suffixes being used...
Scottish "Mc" here.
@@RealmRabbit
irish wasn't a language at that point. irish is a reconstructed language that had to be intentionally formed after the irish potato famine functionally killed the irish gaelic language. but, yes, the further back you go down the gaelic language tree, the more surname forms will shift around
@@Liliputian07 Well yeah, guess I should've specified irish vs. irish gaelic...
Vaush's take on the metaphysics of consciousness is technically correct but it's so goddamn nuanced that he shouldn't have wasted his time answering dumb chat. At an absolute level of certainty we can't know anything else is conscious apart from us. Technically we can't be absolutely certain anything is real except for our consciousness but there are levels of certainty that we are willing to accept to be able to live our lives every day. Our current physical evidence clearly indicates that our brain is the sole producer of the consciousness that we experience but since that evidence is part of the physical world, the same physical world that we can't be absolutely certain is real, then we can't know that the evidence is absolutely certain either.
This still has nothing to do with religion, spirituality, or god. It's just discussing the limits of human knowledge and to what extent we can claim to know things.
This also has nothing to do with AI consciousness, animal consciousness, or veganism either. The metaphysics of consciousness doesn't really make a distinction between other humans, AIs, and animals.
Its impossible to measure anything consciosness related.
Everyone feels his conciosness, so we can guess other humans does also this. And since we know it has something to do with the brain, animals also.
From a biology/computerscience point of view the brain is a calculation machine build to interact with the enviroment, so the fitness is increased. So if maybe the processing of the enviroment "causes" consciosness, the question pops up: Can only cells build conciosness? It would be somekind of Carbonchauvinism to think so. Everything which act, move, think like a human has conscionsness (i guess).
So maybe in future we are able to build a computer, which basicly is on a human level. But even then we still dont know why it exist.
Take in mind, that physics explains how stuff interacts, but not why.
We can observe that some physical reactions in our brain are identical to our consciosness. Physics explains stuff, from a objective perspective. While the reality is, that we are not able to look outside ourself. We describe the universe from our little brains. Its maybe existence itself? I ask myself: Is it possible that every physical reaction is completly equal to some degree of consciosness?

did that guy say "i can remember it as if its a memory"?????? ummm wtf
Tattoos are ancient. We have people from 5000 BCE with tattoos.
The interviewer doesn't seem remotely concerned by (paraphrasing) "I discovered god in an instant, and then channeled an entire book about me going on a murder spree. It all came from a dream about me going on a murder spree, and when I wrote the book it's like I wasn't even in control of myself. It was sent to me straight from god, who gave me a vision of going on a murder spree."
'Conciousness is a metaphysical problem'
Conciousness itself is not a metaphysical problem, our thoughts are obviously physical since we can measure and affect them. The metaphysical question I THINK he's trying to bring up is the connection between our conciousness and the rest of the physical world.
I don't really blame them for not looking into it since they probably aren't reading every single book out there in order to find if any authors are showing worrying signs that could just genuinely be totally separate from reality...
Also with the Norse, I feel like they definitely had an interesting understanding of gender... Idk if it'd be especially progressive, I think that's kind of really just trying to shove modern values on past people who wouldn't really be bothered with them... BUT Norse mythology did have stuff like Thor dressing up as a woman to get his hammer back (lmao, just funny to say, but true)... Also Loki who would sometimes disguise himself as a woman...
BUT if you want to act like that's just the vikings being all woke, they ALSO did have all the incest and even I think some animal loving going on too... Worth mentioning that so we aren't being totally selective unless you want to say that they were maybe more progressive than we are today or something...
Keep grounded with your history and don't try to shove modern understanding/values onto the people of the past so much for a narrative... It can be worth pointing to this things in certain arguments though, but just be careful with that...
OMG that reminds me of how Link dressed up as a woman in Breath Of The Wild!!1!!
There's actually a really good argument that Loki was just straight-up non-binary before the Christians got ahold of the stories.
Side note: I do blame them. If they were already investigating him for _years_ they could have at least skimmed it or checked the reviews or something. People just don't want to acknowledge Nazi and Nazi-adjacent shit for what it is because it would mean acknowledging the scale of the problem and often their proximity to it.
@@dynamicworlds1 100%.
I’m from the Midwest and the KKK is alive and kicking. Neo-Nazis and Alt-Right are ALWAYS preaching their BS if you’re white and behind closed doors.
Don’t let them pretend it’s okay: it’s not okay.
@@dynamicworlds1 I heard some people compare "Black Panther" to Nazis in that the villain is basically a Nazi... Haven't seen the movie though so idk how accurate that is, but trying to determine which books are or are not warning signs would be really difficult especially since many people overreact in reviews of things...
The problem seems similar to the problem of AI not understanding nuances and people not being able to rapidly examine all content that exists everywhere...
You could hypothetically write a story like Black Panther though and have a ton of dog whistles and stuff coming from the villain and then not have that villain face no severe repercussions or anything for those views... So then the difficulty would be in parsing out what I assume Black Panther is actually like, versus parsing out the ones like I described... Plus you also can't just read all reviews either... Even that is way too much especially with how long comments can get if they want to go into any amount of detail...
Good vid but you're wrong about tattoos, they've been a staple in many cultures - especially Norse culture, which is particularly pertinent here - for thousands of years.
It's true that tatoos were common troughout human civilizations all across the world, but there is actually very little evidence for the norse peoples and all of them are controversial or inconclusive. Movies and tv shows are mostly responsible for this perception, but there's no reason to believe tatooing was a widespread practise in norse scandinavia.
@Nobody oh, I may have misunderstood. I thought he meant, "tattoos on the skull", not "tattoos of skulls".
15:25 good take on metaphysics. Shout out to epistemology.
Consciousness is not a process in the brain but a kind of behavior that, of course, is controlled by the brain like any other behavior. Human consciousness emerges on the interface between three components of animal behavior: communication, play, and the use of tools.
Does anyone know that as a fact?
Youll notice most headlines about this will at most only nod that he was a “extremist”
“The universe must be conscious” is a way some physicists have proposed to explain why quantum particles exist in multiple states (superposition) until they are observed / measured. The multiverse hypothesis is another. It’s not quite metaphysics, because it’s an explanation for observed, experimentally proven physical phenomena.
Ironic that he's alt right, yet he was lefty memeing.
"consciousness precedes reality"?
Ok, how would one even begin proving that let alone conclude that they've successfully done it? I know this is not the main concern but it's really interesting to me, how could anything precede reality _itself_ ?
I can imagine a way in which this was one of the reasons it got him so messed up. Namely, that if you believe you're right and that nothing inside the _whole reality_ can prove you wrong, you'll inevitably come to some messed up conclusions
Such a statement is not one to be taken at any level. The simple response to that sentence is a simple “wrong” and then you move on with your life. What utter nonsense. Like it’s bullshit on any conceivable level..
Interesting physics books. And here I was wasting my time learning about mechanics, particle dynamics(electricity and magnetism), and thermodynamics
He might literally be saying that, well no shit he is.... 🤣
Yes because it's not like tattoos that have been around for pretty much since humans were around I forgot the first tattoo came about around the 1950s yeah that makes sense modern decadence what?
That's how they're percieved by boomers, conservative parents and more purist types though, and I feel like that's the point being made in this context.
@@PowerKonata i see what you mean.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but 800 pages?!?! Mans could’ve been a whole novelist but decided to do this with his time smh
This dude may just be anti-left enough to be friends with Destiny.
Hey a fanatic far righter just murdered a bunch of people and injured more. You know what it says about you when you see it and instead of talking about it try to make it about a center-left internet guy just because your internet guru is too scared to interact with?
Consciousness and perception can be manipulated through physical and chemical changes to the brain. We don’t understand how it fully works and how it is tied to brain activity, but it is definitely tied to physical changes to the brain.
However one of the biggest problem is, which is entirely metaphysical concept, is what does it even mean to be conscious. I mean I know I am conscious, and a rock is not. But between me and rock there is a whole range of substance…to what extent is everything conscious? That is metaphysical.
Surely MacLeod is one of the most well-known Scottish names, right behind McDuck. Even if you haven't seen Highlander, one could be expected to pick up the pronunciation through pop culture osmosis alone.
Literally a MacLeod made some of the most well-known copyright free music to ever exist
@@Cobalt985 That is true! Though I rarely hear his name said out loud.
What a shame.
McLeod is pronounced "mic-cloud"
I would gladly mispronounce this guy's name just to piss him off. If I were a prison guard in his wing, I'd probably intentionally call him Macalodee or something. I'd treat this guy like shit, is what I'm saying.
That last tweet had some truth to it. Look at how conservatives put thr word patriot in just about anything and it sells to their base.
When will Vaush Limbaugh be stopped?

Others have commented on how "metaphysics" is misused in this video. I just want to add one note. The prefix "meta" is tripping Vaush up here. These days we often use the prefix to mean something like the german "uber," which means "over," "above," or "superior." But "meta" can just mean something like, "other than" or "outside of." That still works with what Vaush says, except in "metaphysics" the etymology actually goes back to early editors of Aristotle's writings, which were not organized as they are now by Aristotle himself. They had to be sorted by scholars way back when. They sorted a lot of things into a group (book) called "The Physics." Then they had a bunch of stuff that was sorta like but didn't quite fit into that book, so they were put in another group called "The Metaphysics." (At least this is a useful cartoon of what happened.) Kinda mundane, no?
In contemporary academic philosophy metaphysics is one of the primary branches of the field. As with everything in philosophy, what counts as metaphysics is up to dispute, though most all deal with the nature of reality, say, what sort of stuff is there, what sort of properties does stuff have, how does causation work, when is one thing stop being or is changed to another thing, what is the nature of parts, what might fictions be, what the hell is math, how does set theory work, what makes two performances properly of the same song, or what makes two critters of the same species, etc. Notice that some of those are significant and rather down to earth discussions yet still count as metaphysics.
They are typically not, as Vaush mentioned, strictly empirical questions, yet many see them as inescapably embedded in the framework and assumptions that constitute empirical questions, and science is not independent from metaphysics (whether or not scientists regularly understand this).
His discussion of consciousness and zombies is a direct reference to the work of David Chalmers (see The Conscious Mind) and earlier work by Frank Jackson (see his paper on what Mary knows), which makes an argument for a type of dualism where there are two sorts of stuff, material (loosely construed to be the stuff physics and the material sciences describe) and phenomenal, which is the stuff of conscious experience. They thought the latter could not be reduced to the former. Jackson later changed his mind. Famously, Daniel Dennett, back when he was doing GOOD work, argued against the dualism of Chalmers and Jackson in several places. I think Consciousness Explained is probably the best known work that takes this on. Other good sources that deal with more grounded, materialist, or naturalist explanations of mental phenomena are D.M. Armstrong (a historical inspiration for the more recent debates), Owen Flanagan (very accessible from the last 30 years), and Thomas Polger (a student of Flanagan with a very good book on naturalizing the mind, Natural Minds).
Former academic philosopher here, if that matters.
You say that science isn’t independent of metaphysics but at what point does it just become physics again? You bring up causality and I would argue that is a question of physics.
Well, let's just take physics. That physics involves metaphysics doesn't make it stop being physics. For example, physics sure does seem to appeal to causation a lot, as most science seems to. (I only say 'seems' here because, of course, there are some folks out there who will try and get away with eliminating causation from the picture.) But what causation is and how it works has been a hot issue in metaphysics (and the philosophy of science) at many points in history. Like, what the hell is a force, and what makes for a good answer to that versus a bad answer? Well, physicists and philosophers both address this, often at the point the two fields blend together. The first question is fundamentally a metaphysical question while the second is epistemological (though those lines can blur too. Doing science and doing philosophy blur together. And while there's often a division of labor, you will find some who are professionally trained in philosophy and science. In cognitive science, this is, maybe, most common, but occurs in all sorts of subdisciplines.
Ok quick follow up. So there's a lot of equating metaphysics with mumbo jumbo, the supernatural, or anything that should be dismissed. But metaphysics does not need to be supernatural or spooky stuff. That's only how old bookstores use the word, where they'd label all sorts of new age stuff. That's not how the word is used in philosophy. Metaphysics is about what sorts of things are or could possibly be. One could, as many do, take the metaphysical position that there is nothing supernatural (no ghosts, for example) or even that that there could not possibly be, not even in some alternate possible world. One could be a dualist about the mind or a material monist and insist that consciousness is no special type of stuff, but yet another natural phenomenon of a material world. So the metaphysical is not inherently at odds with the scientific picture of the world. Such a picture IS metaphysical conclusion itself.
That said, metaphysics is where some of the rather tough, sometimes weird questions. It's so hard and frustrating sometimes that entire traditions in the history of philosophy have tried to get rid of it. The Logical Empiricists, starting with the Vienna Circle, tried to argue that all metaphysical questions were nonsense questions or pseudo questions. Some aspects of Wittgenstein sound like this. So take the old Ship of Theseus thought experiment. Well, is it the same ship or not? How do you know? Many classic metaphysical questions often feel like paradoxes, which many have felt are more or less unanswerable and perhaps even a waste of time.
Well, the Logical Empiricists decided to get rid of metaphysics and everything else that couldn't be answered with an empirical question as nonsense. The following generation, including philosopher, W.V.O. Quine, pointed out lots of problems with that move. I won't get into it, but Quine, for one, was very concerned that to even go about asking such empirical questions one is already assuming many matters of metaphysics in the categories, concepts, and theoretical framework that are necessary to formulate such questions. In this way, the L.E.s failed to eliminate metaphysics from relevance.
Further, imagine two competing theories for which there is the same amount of empirical evidence. Which should be favored? Which is the better picture of reality? Well, there are things like Ockham's Razor among many more meta-values in science, but in some cases, like the Ship of Theseus it is hard to say what response is better.
Here, I find Pragmatist philosopher, William James, very useful. He said that in such cases, where one answer versus the other makes no difference in the sort of things we are trying to do. In some cases, as with the different ontologies of parallel competing paradigms it may not be clear until further developments occur which framework provides the most utility, but when this happens, we can better evaluate the truth of the matter.
In this way, many questions may only ever be paradoxical or merely useful as exercises of thought. Others maybe metaphysical but such that their answers are so widely accepted or obviously understood we fail to notice they are metaphysical. Still others, detached from the relevant context, remain unclear or only contentiously answered until some new information or conceptual shift makes one answer more relevant than others.
"How can an an-prim "real man" have tattoos?" well, I mean, probably the way pacific tribes did their tribal tattoos. Or at least something along those lines.
Me, a Nova Scotian, watching Vaush pronounce McLeod: Pathetic.
The main takeaway from this video was that Vaush clearly has never seen Highlander, which makes him a massive dork, and I'm beginning to wonder if I should listen to anything he has to say about anything.
Honest question, if gender is defined solely by self identification, why can’t it be said that Zuby holds the women’s deadlifting record?
Obviously Zuby’s stated identification couldn’t reasonably be considered genuine, but how could one prove if someone was lying about their gender?

Wait, isn’t the royalty free music guys last name McLeod? If so he’s got some explaining to do.
I think it's MacLeod, but yes we're gonna have to check up on that dude.
Kevin MacLeod indeed.
