    Excellent series, thanks so much! I learnt a lot and searched for more, using your videos as a prompt for learning even more.
    This last video blew my mind. I realized how complex philosophy is and the fact that it was developed mostly by men made me realize that men have complex thinking as well, otherwise couldn't have produced philosophy. And that was an epiphany.
    Thanks again for the great series!

    Good. but do you really want to say that the universalists believes in essential group identities but finds them irrelevant? Wouldn't it be mare accurate to say that the universalist believes in a single universal human essence and a single universal human rationality (which all humans would eventually embrace if only given the chance)?

      I like to see universalism from the Military perspective.
      What If one violent religion Just doesnt accept universalism and preaches their god wants them to kill who dares to resist?
      Who Will win?
      The weak pure peacefull moral Universalists or the violent religion guys?
      In the final episode of a UA-cam Course about science and logics, It is easy to understand the ugly truth.
      Universalism Works If there is someone to defend It with Military might.
      There is not a way to impose It on bullies or violent religious guys who kill moderates, apostates and whoever dares to resist them.
      The ugly truth is: Universalism is a myth.
      Postmodernism made Europe weak.
      Lie-o-phoby
      All of us should hate lies and despise manipulation.
      But being lie-o-phobic is a crime.
      We Just must accept false premisses and false conclusions as the TRUTH.
      We must accept lies as the norm.
      Or else we face consequences.
      Sad reality.

    11:04 - "Finding that synthesis is, I believe, one of the most important tasks of post-modernism". I couldn't agree more. And, given that post-modern ideas have, at least in some inchoate form, invaded our political discourse, the need could not be greater. Is it evern possible to create a universal narrative of a nation-state in the post-modern world?

    We don't wanna go there? Brother we've gone there! The problem is that concepts like man and women do have a scientific as well as cultural understanding. If I understood the video on Derrida, his logic applied to humans not knowing their own intentions, not us being unable to understand biological trends that have existed for billions of years across so many species.

    one‐way perception political theoretical philosophy systems - and they don't get it, that's a justice system; while we don't even like post-modernism: multiple ontological formations of political ontic systems.

    I think there are quite few conceptual mistakes ;for Instance, there is a MULTI-DIMENSION element in history and societies are quite different, community was important in the Americas (and still is ) before the European colonization. Also ignores the development of TRANSVERSAL POLITICS in Argentina and lately in Bolivia since the 1940's which is the closest thing to Self-government or the original concept of democracy (besides communism) and is quite suitable in order to develop INTER-CULTURAL STATES. Laclau explain it quite good in "On the populist reason" but like you mention sometimes some large segments prefer to follow ignorance or their "conscious" (I mention it because is quite disturbing the misconception about the term populism).

    A postmodernist is a person who tries to get every aspect of the real world into one unified, cosmic just system. He wants to improve women´s situation, but he cannot define women, he is an antiracist, but see the race in every person he meets.
    Finally, he gets himself so deeply entangled in all his paradoxical ideas that he has to give up the reality.

    There is no right or wrong culture for sure, but some cultures are objectively performing better than others and it is your moral responsibility to choose the best one. Performance also can be measured in men and women case as well and we know the answer: there are some jobs men do best, other women do best. What men do on average require more sacrifice and they are compansated more handsomely, women stop working seriously after some age and enjoy raising children. So the general assumptions on white and mens are generally true, but these are the intricacies to consider. Of course this knowledge is statistical, meaning if all evidences about 2 people are equal this will break the ties in terms of tendencies in the future. If a black woman has better CV, you are an idiot if you don't hire her, past matters more than the future.
