A Film by Isabella Gresser

Thanks for making this available. It is very radical and important. I am reading Han together with Shoshanna Zuboff (The Age of Surveillance Capitalism) and they go together very well...
Zuboffs book is incredible and has no explicit ideological tendencies. Another several books that would complement and enhance your research experience are Isabell Lorey: State of Insecurity; Nancy MacLean: Democracy in Chains; and the increasingly salient, terrifyingly accurate Origins of Totalitarianism by the great Hannah Arendt
@@carterhalbrooks8091 Thanks for the additional recomendations, Carter.
@@carterhalbrooks8091 "Psychology of Totalitarianism" by Mattias Desmet - also very worth to read!
Like growing up in the 80s - hanging around graveyards, smell of grass, reading important books, black and white photos and film, leather jackets, bands in pubs, afternoons that went on and on.
this movie makes beautiful sense of burnout - it is in some sense a waking up from the insanity of consumerism; for those who have been lucky enough to experience it, it offers the opportunity to learn a new way of relating to ourselves, to see ourselves not as subjects to be exploited indefinitely, but as humans with valuable need and a purpose beyond doing, which is simply ‘being’
probably the most important thinker for this age
It is very sad that so few People get interested on this matters so deep and of importance to understand thé society that we live in
22:38 This man just chills with Park Chan Wook, as if its the most normal thing in the world. What a chad
The philosopher we were waiting for. Fundamental.
I'm so glad to have found this. I think it's exactly what I needed to hear in this moment.
"Shall we go out to eat?" is such a late-stage capitalism thing to write on the side of that suicide bridge tbh. Translation "Don't throw your life away, you can still be a consumer and contribute to the economy!"
i guess it can be interpreted this way but keep in mind that in Korean culture eating together has much more of a deeper social meaning than just consuming food while talking.
@ right
@in every culture, surely?
If the massive amount of suicides in Crony capitalist societies troubles you, then I dont want to tell you about the exponentially worse amounts of death in Communist/Socialist societies from sucides/alcoholism/drug abuse/malnutrition leading to disease on a scale unseen elsewhere.
@@rejectionistmanifesto8836past “socialist “ societies are not great examples of left political thought. Hence your example is rooted in ignorance. Why ignorance you ask? Bc you have correlated an entire political thought with the example of Soviet Union or say, North Korea. Both which participate in a culture of personality de facto opposing the tenant of equality inherent in socialism.
Go read something, anything.
currently studying philosophy and psychology as an undergrad. one thing that always perplexed me was how lonely and seemingly distant great thinkers are
It seems like those are the only true emotions known to human, the more we begin to demystify all that evokes otherwise.
Ich erkenne die Botschaft in ihren Film. Der mich schon an sich einen Moment zur Ruhe kommen lässt. Es öffnet sich am Horizont ein kleines Tor nur der Weg dorthin scheint kaum mehr möglich. Kapitalismus liebt keine Leere und Stille. Danke fürs bewusst machen.
Fantastic. Thank you so much for the upload.

Wspaniała filozofia och, jak cię kocham. Ten film jest ilustracją moich obecnych myśli i uczuć. Jak lekarstwo, pobudzające mnie do uwolnienia się od aktywności
It would be great to re-upload with fixed subtitles! Many thanks!! 🙏
Unfortunately, the original file was damaged when I discovered it. Especially the subtitles file. What you see is the best I could recover off it. Apologies.
Absolut wunderbar, habe Sie bei Scobel gesehen
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I showed a part of this to my Phil. students.
Amazing, I'm glad my upload was actually useful, the way I intended it.
What do you teach btw? and Where?
@@ishdoot Of course! I teach Religion, Philosophy, and Literature at a college and uni in Colorado. What about you?
@@philosophy_schilling Nice. Good to know. I am a Designer and Media Researcher practicing in India.
Thank you. What a beautiful thing
Brilliant!
Obrigado por compartilhar. Procuro algum material importante desse filósofo social faz tempo.
That clip of terror management theory is perhaps ur capitalism, where even death anxiety can be solved by attending classes and doing mock up wills and burials. Everything is efficiently exploited but only at a price efficient surface level leaving the conditions which caused those problems intact and this just keeps the process of exploitation alive and kicking.
On other note, zuangzhi's ideas are quite interesting and kinda reminds me of the idea of, society of play in Jon bois' story 17776, where he writes about an post capitalist society where society has stopped ceaseless production and progress and people just exist and play football and stuff
Part of the difficulty is that few thoughtful or inclined citizens of any nation get to act upon or cultivate what are natural human impulses and desires.
We are in a real sense conditioned to a sense of hopelessness and despair.
Particularly in the USA, the possibility to seriously entertain any notions of solitude or reflection has been engineered out of the popular consciousness.
Hence, our current anxiety and "possessiveness" surrounding the matter of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomy.
We are very much "inmates" of the puzzle box already.
Beautiful man
Danke, danke......
that guy literally worn the same clothes during the entire kino
49:58 Interesting to know that Byung-Chul Han would develop these ideas further in The Agony of Eros.
Finally!
Have we ever been free? Haven’t we always been fixed on the conventions of our respective societies?
The challenge is to limit consumption by law and thus allow protecting basic human (and earthly) needs. Byung-Chul Han exemplifies these needs excellently beginning around 50:00.
The problem is you can't simply legalize against consumption. There would be far too much pushback from very powerful people, it would never happen. Instead, the level of the legal must be transcended until we arrive at a spiritual plane on which people voluntarily limit their consumption because they have enough *wisdom* (philia sophia) to do so.
Yes, you are absolutely right it won’t be simple. The respective peoples have to lay out the foundation of such legislation, e.g. CO2 related taxes for everything beyond an allowance to be defined.
We should not limit ourselves by anticipating how others would intervene. We make the laws, at least in a democracy.
Wasn’t it hopeful that the „coal“ party in Australia lost?
the trick is to take regular naps
I wanna to see a conversation between Chris Hedges and Professor Byung-Chul Hyun. He should go on On Contact.
Chris Hedges is great to listen to!
His name is 'Handy, not 'Hyun'
esclarecedor !
Nice .i try to find also who can tell if someone knows the name of that music or sound who make in the beginning that monk?

What text editor is he using??
Vim probably lol
it honestly looks a lot like old Microsoft Word for DOS
한교수가 매일 독일어를 해서 그런지 한국말이 좀 서툴어 졌네요 :)
네, 그의 프로필에 한국 태생의 스위스-독일 철학자가 적혀 있습니다. 그래서 그는 이제 기본적으로 독일 시민입니다.
