"Eve cannot explain through peer reviewed scientific studies why she shouldnt eat the fruit." Beautifully said. Some things transcend material and rational reason.
Eve eating the Fruit gave us reason and science. She cast us out of the illusion of Eden into the desert of reality. The Serpent, who may well be Lucifer, was a Promethean hero.
@@relaxingsounds1386 Lol in the Old Testament Satan was God’s bad cop, not some arch-enemy. The interpretation of Satan as arch-nemesis comes from Milton not scripture. And the best interpretation of Genesis is that it’s a parable about the struggle of achieving enlightenment in our awful world, not some surface-level reading wherein Eve was incoherently morally wrong to eat the Fruit before she even possessed moral cognition. Oh also the Old Testament is polytheistic. Christianity since St. Paul has been a betrayal of Jesus. Morgoth is just a retard.

I remember C.S. Lewis saying in Mere Christianity ( I'm paraphrasing) That everything evil in the world is simply spoiled goodness . In other words, Satan can't even be original at being evil, because all the evil in the world was stolen and twisted from Gods own creation. When I read this from C.S. Lewis, it was then, I think, that the universe started to make a bit more sense.
@@stormthecat7395 The modern "Christian" focus on free will was an Enlightenment/Liberal retcon. Old Christianity was deterministic and spoke of fate. But Liberalism cannot exist in a universe without free will, so they retconed Christianity (not the first time it had been done). Christianity (all Abrahamic religions) says that God knows all and has seen all and have prophecies. Remember the saying " it is written"? What room is there for Liberal concerns of man's free will with that? If you are Christian, you can't say that evil is the result of man's free will only to say that God has a plan and that the Bible has foretold many things that will %100 guaranteed happen. Either man is wholely and radically free and thus nothing is written or foretold and not even God knows what man will do. Or God knows exactly what man will do and man is not free to shape his own fate because it is already written for him. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

Idk if you’ve ever visited an Orthodox Church, Morgoth but if you do notice that to the left hand of God is Saint John the Baptist barely clothed representing the more mystical monk aspects of religion and to the right is Mary mother of God, the Theotokos, fully clothed and representing body and order. Red and blue are also often used. To the Right of God is Michael the Archangel often with a sword in red and to the far left is often Gabriel in blue sometimes holding a flower. This language is very very ancient and deep.
I'm not a particularly religious person, I don't know if I believe in God or not. However, I trust in my emotional visceral intuition. I've had discussions with those who try to 'rationalise' such things as abortion, bestiality, animal and child abuse. I invariably had a sense of revulsion and disgust at those individuals. Trust your instincts. There is such a thing as evil.
Most of those people have underlying psychology problems, most likely from traumatic experiences. Then you've to include the indoctrination from propaganda, which could mean that a person is just following the crowd or political agenda, and they may not know their own true morality because they simply are just a herd follower. Morals change with society, this has been true since we were hunter gatherers.
@Jay I think the opposite. The ''gut instinct'' or emotion can be wrong alot of the time depending on the situation. I'm not saying never trust your instincts, I'm saying that they sometimes can be wrong so thats where rationality comes in.
@@MartinMartinm I don't know, I think some of them are genuinely what we used to call evil. I'm not very sympathetic to the argument, or excuse, that they are just victims of their upbringing and environment.
@@lordbeermonster I'm not claiming they are victims. I'm saying that their experiences may have shaped their morals. It's a question I'm curious to know the root of myself. ''Evil'' is just part of morality. Two different people could find each other as ''evil''. I can see the angle from which traditionalists come from as I've similar views myself but, alot of people who claim to be traditional nowadays have a different, more liberal version of traditionalism than those who lived generations ago. Change is inevitable but, rapid change, which we are seeing some forms of today is disastrous.

Solzhenitsyn says that calling the Bolshevik revolution a 'Russian' revolution is completely wrong, and obscures the fact that the Bolshevik leaders and backers were not Russian.
I've heard that Putin was actually an acolyte of Solzhenitsyn, so he must be based on the JQ. He also held a speech at some Russian J' conference recently, where he openly talked about their overrepresentation in the leadership of the Bolshevik revolution and their leading role in the birth of the Soviet Union. And he's come out with a scathing talk about the leftist cultural revolution the West is undergoing recently, precisely comparing it to said Bolshevik revolution, implying he wasn't a fan of that one either. Putin is difficult to pin down. He was a staunch Russian patriot and even served in the KGB in the Soviet era, but he seems to be very critical of the Soviet Union, in some aspects atleast. Along with Yeltzin, he was one of the key figures leading to the dismantlement of the Soviet Union and to the liberalization of Russia, communist nostalgics being his main opposition. Although I've heard he's been suppressing Russian nationalists aswell. Putin seems to be a liberal at his core, albeit more of a right-leaning conservative one.
…but the more relevant figure today is Gramsci…..he recognised that revolution was impossible through an armed destruction of the old order. Customs, traditions and class all stand in the way. It was Gramsci who is the godfather of social engineering, a silent revolution, the “long march through the institutions”. The way the west is today, we’re more than half way there…….
Thus, a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices. Augustine of Hippo, City of God
Ironic that Milton, ardent defender of the unlawful murder of his King, describes so clearly the motives of the heavenly rebels. And, as the great Samuel Johnson said, the Devil was the first Whig.
I hated Paradise lost and I think it's precisely because it's a sort of inversion of Dante. On the religious side of things Milton was noteworthy for being heterodox in a time of religious instability and was revolutionary to the core. This seems very apparent in his hatred of things like friars and monks, men who represent joyful obedience to God and order. Dante by contrast is a great praise of hierarchy and orthodoxy. Thanks for the video Morgoth, I really enjoyed it.
Father Coughlin thank you for your name and uploads! I’ve been a Coughlin fan for a long time and I even visited the basilica he built with proceeds from his radio show earlier this year. I appreciate you posting some of his speeches, they’re harder and harder to come by these days.
@@fathercoughlin9528 as an italian i can also say that Dante was based. He criticized the corruption of the Church high spheres of power and their "prostitution to the french king". Also despite putting Saladin in the Limbo with titams like Julius Caesar, he has no problem telling us that "lo sarracino et il giudeo" are the enemies of christians.
Scarcely so in his case, as, Milton also authored the most compelling defence ever written of Freedom of Speech; a heavy contributor to why the later US First Amendment came to bind this liberty so closely with that of religion. For, in a Protestant society, with no valid, incontrovertible priestly cast to command and intermediate, free disputation becomes quite essential to actually saving souls… and how did he end up? As Oliver Cromwell’s chief censor, of course. ‘Twas ever thus, the man being no stranger to rank hypocrisy, in order to advance his upward trajectory. Indeed, like as not, such double dealing is often how the very smartest who happen also to be humble-born have often managed to shoot up in life; if their talent is more in wordsmithery than innovation. If you’re born in a Bread Street slum stinking of the tanning shoe leather of cordwainers where all around you people are being brained by footpads and not far down the road many thousands gather every weekend to see those strung up at Newgate perform the Tyburn jig… telling elegantly rationalised whoppers to get yourself TF out of there must seem like pretty small beer.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The concurrent narrative present throughout Milton's work is also thought-provoking. The concept that man is inherently fallible; and when left to pursue his carnal desires or other such physical pleasures he will inevitably be lead into anarchy. Therefore it is inexorable that man requires a pro-social form of authority, in order for him not to fall victim to himself and most importantly his ego-the worship of ego as being prevalent in enlightenment thought and it's postmodern ancestors today.
Absolutely brilliant. Very hard to say what the response to this is. I think that those of us who do not view the world in this rationalist way all have our own journey we went through to escape it.

If the law of Man leads to immorality and civilization collapse does this mean man was born of sin? It's looking like this may indeed be the case and Christians were correct all along.
@@HairyPixels Close, but not quite, to err on that side of reasoning is to say a baby is capable of knowing and committing sin. It is more to say, that all mankind is inborn with an ability to sin and eventually know that it is such and still do it anyway. A killer is not unaware that killing is bad, just that their desire to do it overrides any reason not to. This is the true basis of sin, knowing what not to do and doing it anyhow.

When a woman is pregnant, she doesn't say, I am having a foetus. She is having a baby. She is with child. The entity which grows inside her is to become a human being, the highest form of earthy existence. The new born elephant, rat, or chicken, has already reached its potential. Yet many on the Left, suggest we should care less about the slower growing human being inside its mother's womb than any sentient animal that walks the Earth. When we use language to describe the unborn human child, such as foetus, we devalue it, we divorce it from its potential. We are indoctrinated to believe, that taking the life of our unborn child, is no different from destroying a rat. Women who have had their baby killed in their womb, know in their hearts, that they have done wrong, and many live to regret their decision. The fact is, that if they hadn't been exposed to the kinds of so called rational arguments of liberal philosophers, they would never have committed the act, and would know the joy of motherhood.
To claim that we must treat an entity in the present according to what it has the potential to become in the future isn’t a comprehensive response. By that logic, I could argue that it’s ok to bury old people alive because they will be dead soon anyway; or I could rationalize building a house out of acorns because they will one day be lumber. Potentiality is not actuality. Just pointing out a weakness in the STRUCTURE of this type of argument.
This reminds me of a Millennial Woes video called (I think) "Bestiality and Oblivion". When you remove God from your life, all there's left are legalisms and opinions. There's no right or wrong, there's no contravening the order of Nature/Universe. All you have left is "but actually" explanations and the acceptance of yet another indignity.
You can "justify" anything without a moral compass or conviction. These things did not have to be explained how wrong it was in a moral sense in previous times because it was coded in our dna. Life without God gives us a small taste of what the eternal hell is for those that do not submit. At least that is how I see it.

Virtually all leftists that I have known suffered from various rather serious character flaws from person irresponsibility to extreme aggression. However, what seemed to unite them all was a collective inability for introspection. An obese woman would blame her having to work for her inability to keep fit. A constantly impecunious man would blame "the rich" for his own lack of funds. None of them ever seemed willing to even consider that their problems began with themselves. To a leftist, all problems begin with "someone else". I would not suggest that every problem we encounter in life is of our own making, but constantly blaming others and refusing to accept responsibility are actions of a child. The left attracts an infantile mind.
"However, what seemed to unite them all was a collective inability for introspection." Quite a good observation there, and I agree completely. Leftism is for broken people who feel victimized -- the mindset of the nascent teenager, who is starting to feel the responsibilities of adulthood, but blames the parents in a very naive, shortsighted way. The Frankfurt School's psychiatric wing worked hard at destabilizing families with this vector -- look at Alice Miller's work, where she blames parents time and again for the foibles of a broken person's mind. Miller's deception is that she leads her reader to the endpoint of hating parents/families, and doesn't help her reader realize that this phase of blaming one's parents for bringing one to life, it must be worked through with an animating spirit of self-respect and a drive to become fully human, taking complete responsibility for all of one's acts, thoughts, and motives.
@@seanoneil277 I think most of us go through a phase when we blame the world for our ills. I certainly did, but when I ceased to do so, I was furnished with a lot more success. At times, others are to blame, and I don't want to suggest that those who act maliciously against us should ever be forgiven. However, before we look to others, we must ask whether we ourselves are the source of our failing.
@@malicant123 I agree, and especially that those who harmed us or wronged us should NOT be excused or held blameless. We all must accept responsibility for our acts -- not just the good or noble ones of which we're proud, but also our weak failings and bad acts, for which we should make amends. The problems arise when people we didn't & don't harm are demanding our punishment or forcing us to provide recompense. There's a lot of this afoot today in the USA, and from what I can tell, in other countries as well. Such false accusations should be met with vigorous denial, and we should never weakly begin apologizing for things we never did and are not doing.
I'm sure fundamentally weak people are naturally attracted to the left's structural-environmental explanation, but it must be taken into account that those of us who were raised on the left were taught to think in these terms when we were very small and impressionable. We internalized these things because we trusted our parents implicitly, like everyone does. My grandfather worked very hard, but I never heard once that this had any sort of consequence; instead, I was told that he and grandma lived comfortably because his union had negotiated well on his behalf. Never in my childhood was the individual mentioned as an entity with any meaningful amount of agency. It's a worldview that probably weakens you because you can never fully believe that your own actions matter or that you're in control of your own life, but it's not as simple as the left just attracting infantile minds.
Absolutely great analysis of the origins of left wing thought. What I love about your work Morgoth is how you explain the content of books that people otherwise probably wouldn't get around to reading

I've tried Reading Paradise Lost a few times but have never been able to make it through. If Ol' Sheev Palpatine is reading it then I might have to give the audio book a listen.
Unfortunately, McDiarmid doesn't read the entire thing. He just does the voice of Lucifer/Satan. You'll have to put up with other (IMO lesser) voice actors as well. To my shame, I still haven't finished it yet for that reason (only got about halfway through).
I would add that this tendency towards degeneracy formed from liberalism is also highlighted in book of Judges in the bible. Wherein the hebrews started turning away from Gods laws and started doing "right in their own eyes" which led to chaos and misery.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - CS Lewis The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint...but it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices by quiet men with white collars and clean fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. --C.S. Lewis 1962 Screwtape Letters
This is one of your greatest so far. I studied this at A level 40years ago along with Hamlet and the Romantic poets. It's still shaping my world view. I'd love to hear your take on " That Hideous strength"
Tremendous work, Morgoth! All of the revolutions that have happened since time began would pale into insignificance to what is happening right now, a World Revolution. It's as if this is the big push to end all uprisings. Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea... and all that. I'm not a religious man but must say I'm rooting for the Big Guy in all of this.
Here is an important issue: if God and religion and moral norms are essentially man-made, and are to a large extent a reflection of instincts we developed over tens and hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, then as much as we may delve into relativism and cynicism, we can still, given the right circumstances, reach back into that pool of instincts and sensibilities and bring God back as their incarnation. Or could it be that we have become so degenerate, with armies of 'spiteful mutants', that these ideas about God and objective morality can never be brought back, because these mutants don't have it in them any more? And will they simply annihilate themselves and the rest of humanity as well?
Some people have a strong urge toward destruction. Sadly such people seek power and once there, they wield such power in destructive ways. To answer your last sentence -- yes, they will, as that is the driving force in their lives.

I just bought the book Paradise Lost based on your review today. "We may with more successful hope resolve To wage by force or guile eternal Warr Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe, Who now triumphs, and in th' excess of joy Sole reigning holds the Tyranny of Heav'n." Satan is clearly incredibly intelligent and comes across like both a dictator and a liberator. Thank you for introducing me to this classic, I am already enjoying it, but it feels almost evil to read.
_The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying,_ _"Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."_ _He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision._ -Psalm 2 _Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said:_ _“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer._ _“Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified? Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?_ _“Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or snare his tongue with a line? Can you put a reed through his nose, or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you? Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you leash him for your maidens? Will your companions make a banquet of him? Can you fill his hide with harpoons, or his head with fishing spears?_ _"Lay your hand on him: Remember the battle. You will never do it again! Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; you shall be overwhelmed even at the sight of him. No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine."_ -Job 40-41
What you'll find is that this morality vs utilitarianism shit is that it is very tactical and very much arbitrary at this part.

Mint episode Morgoth. Brilliant book for anyone here wanting to dig a bit deeper into this, and wanting all the sources too. Written in 1799 by a French Jesuit priest who fled to England from the French Revolution.

And from such people turn away. The solution: God is using this time to draw us closer to Him. Stand firm in His promises and keep your eyes upon Christ Jesus. 2 Chronicles 7 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Abolutely hooked on this one from beginning to end! As to what should be done... honestly no idea, although what i would like ofcourse is a god emperor and a grand crusade to violently destroy this evil, marching through every city and town and cleanse it of all the filth. But it seems what we have to do is hunker down, survive stick together, keep sane, keep true to ourselves and keeping our soul intact no matter what, learn new usefull enjoyable skills ( i started to grow food on an allotment for example ) move out cities, etc. this is more realistic i guess ( for now ).
What a great video... I read PL years ago but obviously didn't get it at all... Time for re-evaluation. Again... Thanks, Morgoth, this was a real kicker. Ah, shit,.. here we go again. It never ends. And that... is fine. After all, we want to 'capture' them all... for the sake of love and joy...
You go by Morgoth, I own and have read The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings, and The Silmarillion. I'm highly interested in your take on the Silmarillion. Insanely relevant and symbolic of today.
@Tarka Dal yeah. It would need to be only sections or chapters at a time. Covering rhe whole book in one take is not really feasible, for one due to how insanely long it is, but secondly due to how different parts of it are from other parts. Beren and Luthien have a wildly different story than the battle of unnumbered tears for example.
I have this on my shelf too. Satan certainly gets all the best early lines “better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” Also you have to look at when it was written Charles I etc of which Milton staunchly opposed. The real hero is Michael who is a warrior, though in 2021 he would be told to tone down his toxic masculinity. The real villain is Eve who suffers from vanity. Eve in modern times would definitely be on TikTok telling “men they are trash.” She falls in love with her own image which leads to Satan transforming into a male feminist and sidling up and complimenting her on her beauty and godliness which turns Eve’s head and thus Satan easily persuades her to eat from the Tree of Knowledge.

I remember C.S. Lewis saying in Mere Christianity ( I'm paraphrasing) That everything evil in the world is simply spoiled goodness . In other words, Satan can't even be original at being evil, because all the evil in the world was stolen and twisted from Gods own creation.

Mere Christianity is one of my favourite philosophical studies on God.
@@stormthecat7395 The modern "Christian" focus on free will was an Enlightenment/Liberal retcon. Old Christianity was deterministic and spoke of fate. But Liberalism cannot exist in a universe without free will, so they retconed Christianity (not the first time it had been done).
Christianity (all Abrahamic religions) says that God knows all and has seen all and have prophecies. Remember the saying " it is written"? What room is there for Liberal concerns of man's free will with that? If you are Christian, you can't say that evil is the result of man's free will only to say that God has a plan and that the Bible has foretold many things that will %100 guaranteed happen. Either man is wholely and radically free and thus nothing is written or foretold and not even God knows what man will do. Or God knows exactly what man will do and man is not free to shape his own fate because it is already written for him. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

Idk if you’ve ever visited an Orthodox Church, Morgoth but if you do notice that to the left hand of God is Saint John the Baptist barely clothed representing the more mystical monk aspects of religion and to the right is Mary mother of God, the Theotokos, fully clothed and representing body and order. Red and blue are also often used. To the Right of God is Michael the Archangel often with a sword in red and to the far left is often Gabriel in blue sometimes holding a flower. This language is very very ancient and deep.
Demons being used as in the case of Job are often referred to as “the left hand of God” as well in the tradition.
I'm not a particularly religious person, I don't know if I believe in God or not. However, I trust in my emotional visceral intuition. I've had discussions with those who try to 'rationalise' such things as abortion, bestiality, animal and child abuse. I invariably had a sense of revulsion and disgust at those individuals. Trust your instincts. There is such a thing as evil.
Most of those people have underlying psychology problems, most likely from traumatic experiences. Then you've to include the indoctrination from propaganda, which could mean that a person is just following the crowd or political agenda, and they may not know their own true morality because they simply are just a herd follower.
Morals change with society, this has been true since we were hunter gatherers.
@Jay I think the opposite. The ''gut instinct'' or emotion can be wrong alot of the time depending on the situation. I'm not saying never trust your instincts, I'm saying that they sometimes can be wrong so thats where rationality comes in.
@@MartinMartinm I don't know, I think some of them are genuinely what we used to call evil. I'm not very sympathetic to the argument, or excuse, that they are just victims of their upbringing and environment.
@@lordbeermonster I'm not claiming they are victims. I'm saying that their experiences may have shaped their morals. It's a question I'm curious to know the root of myself. ''Evil'' is just part of morality. Two different people could find each other as ''evil''. I can see the angle from which traditionalists come from as I've similar views myself but, alot of people who claim to be traditional nowadays have a different, more liberal version of traditionalism than those who lived generations ago. Change is inevitable but, rapid change, which we are seeing some forms of today is disastrous.

Solzhenitsyn says that calling the Bolshevik revolution a 'Russian' revolution is completely wrong, and obscures the fact that the Bolshevik leaders and backers were not Russian.
At least 80% were Pews apparently.
I've heard that Putin was actually an acolyte of Solzhenitsyn, so he must be based on the JQ. He also held a speech at some Russian J' conference recently, where he openly talked about their overrepresentation in the leadership of the Bolshevik revolution and their leading role in the birth of the Soviet Union. And he's come out with a scathing talk about the leftist cultural revolution the West is undergoing recently, precisely comparing it to said Bolshevik revolution, implying he wasn't a fan of that one either. Putin is difficult to pin down. He was a staunch Russian patriot and even served in the KGB in the Soviet era, but he seems to be very critical of the Soviet Union, in some aspects atleast. Along with Yeltzin, he was one of the key figures leading to the dismantlement of the Soviet Union and to the liberalization of Russia, communist nostalgics being his main opposition. Although I've heard he's been suppressing Russian nationalists aswell. Putin seems to be a liberal at his core, albeit more of a right-leaning conservative one.
@@enki6676 Putin says he does not tolerate anti-semitism. He has the same masters, he's just on a looser leash.
…but the more relevant figure today is Gramsci…..he recognised that revolution was impossible through an armed destruction of the old order. Customs, traditions and class all stand in the way.

Ironic that Milton, ardent defender of the unlawful murder of his King, describes so clearly the motives of the heavenly rebels. And, as the great Samuel Johnson said, the Devil was the first Whig.
I hated Paradise lost and I think it's precisely because it's a sort of inversion of Dante. On the religious side of things Milton was noteworthy for being heterodox in a time of religious instability and was revolutionary to the core. This seems very apparent in his hatred of things like friars and monks, men who represent joyful obedience to God and order. Dante by contrast is a great praise of hierarchy and orthodoxy. Thanks for the video Morgoth, I really enjoyed it.
Father Coughlin thank you for your name and uploads! I’ve been a Coughlin fan for a long time and I even visited the basilica he built with proceeds from his radio show earlier this year. I appreciate you posting some of his speeches, they’re harder and harder to come by these days.
@@fathercoughlin9528 as an italian i can also say that Dante was based. He criticized the corruption of the Church high spheres of power and their "prostitution to the french king".
Also despite putting Saladin in the Limbo with titams like Julius Caesar, he has no problem telling us that "lo sarracino et il giudeo" are the enemies of christians.
Scarcely so in his case, as, Milton also authored the most compelling defence ever written of Freedom of Speech; a heavy contributor to why the later US First Amendment came to bind this liberty so closely with that of religion. For, in a Protestant society, with no valid, incontrovertible priestly cast to command and intermediate, free disputation becomes quite essential to actually saving souls… and how did he end up? As Oliver Cromwell’s chief censor, of course. ‘Twas ever thus, the man being no stranger to rank hypocrisy, in order to advance his upward trajectory.
Indeed, like as not, such double dealing is often how the very smartest who happen also to be humble-born have often managed to shoot up in life; if their talent is more in wordsmithery than innovation. If you’re born in a Bread Street slum stinking of the tanning shoe leather of cordwainers where all around you people are being brained by footpads and not far down the road many thousands gather every weekend to see those strung up at Newgate perform the Tyburn jig… telling elegantly rationalised whoppers to get yourself TF out of there must seem like pretty small beer.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.»

The concurrent narrative present throughout Milton's work is also thought-provoking. The concept that man is inherently fallible; and when left to pursue his carnal desires or other such physical pleasures he will inevitably be lead into anarchy. Therefore it is inexorable that man requires a pro-social form of authority, in order for him not to fall victim to himself and most importantly his ego-the worship of ego as being prevalent in enlightenment thought and it's postmodern ancestors today.
Hell is the absence of objective morality. And we are in hell. I was born in hell and I spent my entire life in hell.

Close, but not quite, to err on that side of reasoning is to say a baby is capable of knowing and committing sin. It is more to say, that all mankind is inborn with an ability to sin and eventually know that it is such and still do it anyway. A killer is not unaware that killing is bad, just that their desire to do it overrides any reason not to. This is the true basis of sin, knowing what not to do and doing it anyhow.

One of Morgots best videos so far, opened up alot to think about.
When a woman is pregnant, she doesn't say, I am having a foetus. She is having a baby. She is with child. The entity which grows inside her is to become a human being, the highest form of earthy existence. The new born elephant, rat, or chicken, has already reached its potential. Yet many on the Left, suggest we should care less about the slower growing human being inside its mother's womb than any sentient animal that walks the Earth.
When we use language to describe the unborn human child, such as foetus, we devalue it, we divorce it from its potential. We are indoctrinated to believe, that taking the life of our unborn child, is no different from destroying a rat. Women who have had their baby killed in their womb, know in their hearts, that they have done wrong, and many live to regret their decision.
The fact is, that if they hadn't been exposed to the kinds of so called rational arguments of liberal philosophers, they would never have committed the act, and would know the joy of motherhood.
Well said Carol. Our two sons were babies from day one. We didn’t go round saying “we’re having a foetus”
Very intelligent. Even better than Morgoth!
To claim that we must treat an entity in the present according to what it has the potential to become in the future isn’t a comprehensive response. By that logic, I could argue that it’s ok to bury old people alive because they will be dead soon anyway; or I could rationalize building a house out of acorns because they will one day be lumber. Potentiality is not actuality.

There's no right or wrong, there's no contravening the order of Nature/Universe. All you have left is "but actually" explanations and the acceptance of yet another indignity.
You can "justify" anything without a moral compass or conviction. These things did not have to be explained how wrong it was in a moral sense in previous times because it was coded in our dna. Life without God gives us a small taste of what the eternal hell is for those that do not submit. At least that is how I see it.

Which is why we have to be the ones who rewrite it.
Virtually all leftists that I have known suffered from various rather serious character flaws from person irresponsibility to extreme aggression. However, what seemed to unite them all was a collective inability for introspection. An obese woman would blame her having to work for her inability to keep fit. A constantly impecunious man would blame "the rich" for his own lack of funds. None of them ever seemed willing to even consider that their problems began with themselves.
To a leftist, all problems begin with "someone else". I would not suggest that every problem we encounter in life is of our own making, but constantly blaming others and refusing to accept responsibility are actions of a child. The left attracts an infantile mind.
"However, what seemed to unite them all was a collective inability for introspection."
Quite a good observation there, and I agree completely. Leftism is for broken people who feel victimized -- the mindset of the nascent teenager, who is starting to feel the responsibilities of adulthood, but blames the parents in a very naive, shortsighted way. The Frankfurt School's psychiatric wing worked hard at destabilizing families with this vector -- look at Alice Miller's work, where she blames parents time and again for the foibles of a broken person's mind.
Miller's deception is that she leads her reader to the endpoint of hating parents/families, and doesn't help her reader realize that this phase of blaming one's parents for bringing one to life, it must be worked through with an animating spirit of self-respect and a drive to become fully human, taking complete responsibility for all of one's acts, thoughts, and motives.
@@seanoneil277 I think most of us go through a phase when we blame the world for our ills. I certainly did, but when I ceased to do so, I was furnished with a lot more success.
At times, others are to blame, and I don't want to suggest that those who act maliciously against us should ever be forgiven. However, before we look to others, we must ask whether we ourselves are the source of our failing.
@@malicant123 I agree, and especially that those who harmed us or wronged us should NOT be excused or held blameless. We all must accept responsibility for our acts -- not just the good or noble ones of which we're proud, but also our weak failings and bad acts, for which we should make amends.
The problems arise when people we didn't & don't harm are demanding our punishment or forcing us to provide recompense. There's a lot of this afoot today in the USA, and from what I can tell, in other countries as well. Such false accusations should be met with vigorous denial, and we should never weakly begin apologizing for things we never did and are not doing.
Amazing how the rabid individualists suddenly don’t see their own individual flaws and focus their rage elsewhere.
I'm sure fundamentally weak people are naturally attracted to the left's structural-environmental explanation, but it must be taken into account that those of us who were raised on the left were taught to think in these terms when we were very small and impressionable. We internalized these things because we trusted our parents implicitly, like everyone does. My grandfather worked very hard, but I never heard once that this had any sort of consequence; instead, I was told that he and grandma lived comfortably because his union had negotiated well on his behalf. Never in my childhood was the individual mentioned as an entity with any meaningful amount of agency. It's a worldview that probably weakens you because you can never fully believe that your own actions matter or that you're in control of your own life, but it's not as simple as the left just attracting infantile minds.
John Doyle was so late with the satanism video that Morgoth did it for him.
A truly excellent exposition of the core issues of our time!
It seems Margoth has justified the ways of God to men.
This is a brilliantly produced, fascinating piece of work.
Thank you, Morgoth.
Thanks
Something wicked this way comes
I really enjoy your analyses. Great job!
Absolutely great analysis of the origins of left wing thought.
What I love about your work Morgoth is how you explain the content of books that people otherwise probably wouldn't get around to reading
Yes! He can explain it to the man on the street. I've had a lot of similar thoughts to him, but his way of articulating his thoughts is on another level.
"The mind is its own place and, in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven." - -"Paradise lost"

Solipsism is a hell of a drug.
Converting evil into good through the power of love is above my mortal ability. Better stick to the tried and tested method of casting it back to Hell.
Superb. One of Morgoth's videos is worth ten or twenty videos from a mere 'normal' channel.

I've tried Reading Paradise Lost a few times but have never been able to make it through. If Ol' Sheev Palpatine is reading it then I might have to give the audio book a listen.
Unfortunately, McDiarmid doesn't read the entire thing. He just does the voice of Lucifer/Satan. You'll have to put up with other (IMO lesser) voice actors as well.
To my shame, I still haven't finished it yet for that reason (only got about halfway through).
Try Will Franken's version. It took him a whole year to read the twelve books and IMHO a brilliant dramatic account.
I would add that this tendency towards degeneracy formed from liberalism is also highlighted in book of Judges in the bible. Wherein the hebrews started turning away from Gods laws and started doing "right in their own eyes" which led to chaos and misery.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - CS Lewis
The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint...but it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices by quiet men with white collars and clean fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.
--C.S. Lewis 1962 Screwtape Letters
This is one of your greatest so far.
I studied this at A level 40years ago along with Hamlet and the Romantic poets. It's still shaping my world view.
I'd love to hear your take on " That Hideous strength"
Tremendous work, Morgoth! All of the revolutions that have happened since time began would pale into insignificance to what is happening right now, a World Revolution. It's as if this is the big push to end all uprisings. Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea... and all that. I'm not a religious man but must say I'm rooting for the Big Guy in all of this.

I have that book at home, interesting read.
The coat of arms of the Fabian Society is a good giveaway (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing).
Brilliant.
I always look forward to your videos. Thanks Morgoth :)
Here is an important issue: if God and religion and moral norms are essentially man-made, and are to a large extent a reflection of instincts we developed over tens and hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, then as much as we may delve into relativism and cynicism, we can still, given the right circumstances, reach back into that pool of instincts and sensibilities and bring God back as their incarnation. Or could it be that we have become so degenerate, with armies of 'spiteful mutants', that these ideas about God and objective morality can never be brought back, because these mutants don't have it in them any more? And will they simply annihilate themselves and the rest of humanity as well?
Some people have a strong urge toward destruction. Sadly such people seek power and once there, they wield such power in destructive ways. To answer your last sentence -- yes, they will, as that is the driving force in their lives.
The response is the same as it's always been, and it's implied by the very question.
The door will be opened, you have but to knock.
Great one.
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time! What's next? Run towards the light of objective truth, justice, goodness and God. Apply this at the individual level in every aspect, then family, the community... etc.
Morgoth, have you read CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters? There's an awesome audio version on YT read by John Cleese.
Ok I'll look into it
It's great to hear such enligthenend views spoken with such a refined accent. You sound just like one of my old Ph.D supervisors!
This is what one should get in church, but church today is just old hippie happy time love-ins.
so true, God has left the church or vice versa
I feel as though God is taking us to the edge of the precipice and showing us what lies beyond to force us to see the light.
I just bought the book Paradise Lost based on your review today.
"We may with more successful hope resolve
To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,
Who now triumphs, and in th' excess of joy
Sole reigning holds the Tyranny of Heav'n."
Satan is clearly incredibly intelligent and comes across like both a dictator and a liberator.
Thank you for introducing me to this classic, I am already enjoying it, but it feels almost evil to read.
_The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying,_
_"Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."_
_He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision._
-Psalm 2
_Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said:_
_“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer._
_“Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified? Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?_
_“Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or snare his tongue with a line? Can you put a reed through his nose, or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you? Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you leash him for your maidens? Will your companions make a banquet of him? Can you fill his hide with harpoons, or his head with fishing spears?_
_"Lay your hand on him: Remember the battle. You will never do it again! Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; you shall be overwhelmed even at the sight of him. No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine."_

What you'll find is that this morality vs utilitarianism shit is that it is very tactical and very much arbitrary at this part. If you go to a leftist and tell them to run the numbers and rationalize certain things amounting to skin complexion of people or say certain unresolved happenings in Central Europe around the 1940s and suddenly they become moral zealots
As always, grazie mille Mr. Morg! Always enjoy hearing your perspective. It's almost as if you unlock the wonder what we have within us so that we may also understand this knowledge.

Mint episode Morgoth. Brilliant book for anyone here wanting to dig a bit deeper into this, and wanting all the sources too. Written in 1799 by a French Jesuit priest who fled to England from the French Revolution. Pretty heavy reading to be honest, It sort of lays out what Morgoth's saying, in a vicious level of detail with some Sherlock Holmes kind of investigating. Author ( Abbe Agustin Barruel ) - Book name ( The history of Jacobinism )
4 volumes anti monarchical conspiracy, the anti Christian conspiracy, but I think he most valuable for our time is the anti social conspiracy chapters 3 and 4
First gay marriage, then transsexual pronouns, now they are coming for the children
There's a video of them saying exactly that. A big group of leftists attended some form of organised gathering and it was filmed and they were saying exactly that:- We're coming for the children.
@@SgtSteel1 People whose senses of gender and sex have been broken by abuse (both physical and psychological) are some of the most profoundly broken people among us. Their statement of "we're coming for the children" shows how deeply damaged they are -- they brag on doing inhumane, amoral things, as if they're gaining revenge on whatever broke them in the first place. Hideous and frightening.
@@seanoneil277 Indeed.
How did we get this far you ask?
We the people have taken our eyes off God.
2 Timothy 3 1-5
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.
The solution:
God is using this time to draw us closer to Him. Stand firm in His promises and keep your eyes upon Christ Jesus.
2 Chronicles 7 14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Abolutely hooked on this one from beginning to end! As to what should be done... honestly no idea, although what i would like ofcourse is a god emperor and a grand crusade to violently destroy this evil, marching through every city and town and cleanse it of all the filth.
But it seems what we have to do is hunker down, survive stick together, keep sane, keep true to ourselves and keeping our soul intact no matter what, learn new usefull enjoyable skills ( i started to grow food on an allotment for example ) move out cities, etc. this is more realistic i guess ( for now ).
What a great video... I read PL years ago but obviously didn't get it at all... Time for re-evaluation. Again... Thanks, Morgoth, this was a real kicker. Ah, shit,.. here we go again. It never ends. And that... is fine. After all, we want to 'capture' them all... for the sake of love and joy...
You go by Morgoth, I own and have read The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings, and The Silmarillion. I'm highly interested in your take on the Silmarillion. Insanely relevant and symbolic of today.
@Tarka Dal yeah. It would need to be only sections or chapters at a time. Covering rhe whole book in one take is not really feasible, for one due to how insanely long it is, but secondly due to how different parts of it are from other parts. Beren and Luthien have a wildly different story than the battle of unnumbered tears for example.
This video has clarified my thinking. Thanks
It's like wokism is an upside down pyramid
Its a funnel to hell.
I have this on my shelf too. Satan certainly gets all the best early lines “better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” Also you have to look at when it was written Charles I etc of which Milton staunchly opposed. The real hero is Michael who is a warrior, though in 2021 he would be told to tone down his toxic masculinity. The real villain is Eve who suffers from vanity. Eve in modern times would definitely be on TikTok telling “men they are trash.” She falls in love with her own image which leads to Satan transforming into a male feminist and sidling up and complimenting her on her beauty and godliness which turns Eve’s head and thus Satan easily persuades her to eat from the Tree of Knowledge.
Will you talk about Goethe’s Faust in the context of modernity?
