I do good for the sake of going to heaven and also because I am not above the consequences of my actions completely agree with that statement. I used to think that being born in a Muslim family would stop me from becoming one of the worst people ever. I'm glad I found out how wrong I was. I thought that I would go to hell if I lacked the desire to do good
Yes I am selfish. And I thought that would stop me from going to heaven. So I tried to prove to myself that I can avoid being selfish and failed. I gave up when I realized that there is no one in this world I love. If I go to heaven I'll ask God to erase my memories of my life and send me somewhere where I can grow up doing whatever I want. However I want.
A Christian Proverb (proverb means a metaphorical story or phrase used to convey a complicated message easier) “a righteous man cares for his animal, but from the wicked even kindness is cruel” people who do good deeds that only serve to help themselves, they may even fake kindness itself like people on UA-cam who abuse animals then record them “saving” those animals to prove how kind they are. Fake friends who only stay by your side until backstabbing you for clout is far more beneficial. This is kindness from wicked people.

8:19 I actually had the opposite problem in my teens and 20s. I surrounded myself with people that were generally toxic. People who repeated cycles of poor decisions, self pity, short bursts of improvement, poor decisions. People that were principled with their lives together intimidated me and made me uncomfortable, while my toxic friends made me feel good about myself. They often told me that i was a better, moral, virtuous (that word was used once) person. I was there "good" friend. The "responsible" one. It wasn't until my 30s, and with the gift of hindsight that i realized i was just a different kind of toxic. I used their flaws and view of me to fool myself into thinking that i was a good person. Had they become better people, i wouldn't have been friends with them because I couldn't have used them in that way anymore. To surround myself with better people would have only exasperated my insecurities on my own moral uprightness.
I wish my buffoon of a dad realised this, he was constantly surrounded by trash growing up and now he thinks he's just so much better and so much superior, but really he's just a different type of trash who judges everyone who's even mildly normal or successful because he is nothing.
@waynepolo6193 the way the religious view on Repentance works in both islam and Christianity is that sins have worldly consequences and consequences on your soul. Damnation applies to the soul. Repentance can help fix the consequences to your soul. But it would not fix the worldly consequences. For example, if you kill an innocent person then you'll suffer worldly consequences like imprisonment, shunning, etc. You would also suffer non-worldly consequences like eternal damnation. Repentance may (not guaranteed) save your soul. However, you still have to deal with worldly consequences like the ones mentioned before. If your reasoning for repentance is to avoid the worldly consequences, then it doesn't count as true repentance. Instead it may even instead exacerbate to consequences to your soul, due to you trying to scam the system. This is just my laymen understanding of salvation/ repentance
...and Kratos cast himself from the highest mountain in all of Greece. After ten years of suffering, ten years of endless nightmares, it would finally come to an end. Death would be his escape from madness. A very appropriate quote for the subject you proposed to discuss.
@@waynepolo6193 religious people think that you dont just say and youre forgiven for your horrible deeds, they think you have to genuinely from the bottom of your heart repent
As a Christian I appreciate the respect with which you treat Christian writers and quotes in your videos, and even if you sometimes get the interpretations a tad off I know it’s not malicious. The Screwtape Letters is one of my favorites. It’s clever and sometimes darkly funny and I enjoyed your overview of it.
Honestly I love how he speaks on it, I like to personally use the Bible more as a historical source a lot of the time because certain things can be inferred regardless of whether someone is Christian or not. Like how when a certain saint disappears in one history they can often be tracked to another. No amount of fiction can change a narrative of where people were in history, there was certainly a Saint John and Peter and Joseph because we hear about them in other histories from Christianity. Which provides unending philosophical discussion.
But then you have things happen that make everything even more complicated like how the Spanish tried to say Aztecs were ancient Christian’s at one point, like huh!?!?!?! I don’t need to know how to cook to see that the kitchen is on fire, this is so ridiculous of a claim that I only imagine actual scholars present when it was said had their jaws hit the floor.
"tad off interpretations" lmao being christian doesnt mean you magically share the same understanding of something that is as vague and personal as beliefs, even if its another christian unless you talked to him directly, it will always be subjective

We're all a little evil. I use games and media to channel those impulses to great effect. The interesting part of "games make murderers" is that they're one of the reasons I've never entirely fallen off the societal wagon, and I suspect why so many others haven't either.
@@JLM-y5g A real christian never claims to be a saint . They try to do their best to overcome their own resident evil . Plus cannot work without minus . Life is a perpetual oscillation between plus and minus. Try to keep the plus real and the minus imaginary.
There’s a great book called Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide that elucidates an explanatory model of how people reach a point where they can commit these acts that I’d recommend
But as soon as you ask WHY it is the path of least resistance, the very need to ask that question demonstrates the acknowledgement that mankind gravitates to “evil”.
Every thing done as well as not done is not only a choice, but inherently practice. We get better at everything we do or do not do. The latter is particularly problematic in theory and in practice, certainly for me personally, is the single most daunting and challenging mechanism and (ironically) dynamic at all times threatening actions and inaction with a resolute and unflinching egalitarian principle.
I read the book not too long ago. I really really loved it , CS Lewis spoke to me. I am happy that you made a video about it . Fun fact , in Romanian, the title would be translated: " Advice from an older demon to a younger one " ( captures the plot I guess 😂 ) Keep up the good work, this is high quality content ❤
I personally enjoy the Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now model of evil. Those drawn towards evil embark on a dangerous journey up the river and either perish along the way or lose their humanity completely.

"the extremity of moral demands makes it relatively easy to convince us that our values should be subsumed to a nebulously defined practicality" such an awesome video dude love this quote
Dear Unsolicited Advice, Do you think it would be possible for you to make a video covering how you read the books you read (in terms of your thought process, things you look out for), and then, on how you plan your videos in a way that covers the main points in a coherent way? I feel like that would be really interesting to see, given how challenging it feels like it is to read endless series of books
Philosophy has been a part of my whole life even when I was a kid - now as an adult, I find it even more interesting and somewhat comforting. - As learning oneself and the history behind phenomenons and expressions like: Love, Acceptance, Grief, Self love and being able to balance them together - while also being able to differentiate achievements and work from becoming consumerism - are all very important aspects of life people should look more into. I especially love Greek Mythology, Romance Novels, History and Philosophy books. So finding this channel was a great mix of all of them. I find it astonishing how this guy can resonate with my thoughts and perspective on life, while also keeping philosophy alive for other people to learn and enjoy - taking the time to truly appreciate the greatness of its importance. (With little details like captions written in such an elegant font while also being grammatically correct every time, as well as adding a yellow colour to differentiate voice from text is an extra plus for me.) This makes me happy, knowing that philosophy and history is not “extinct” in modern society, and is remembered in both the history books, history driven and hopeless romantics like myself, and possibly intrigue people in today’s social media ruled generation.
I just love it when strangers or friends share their stories of success and joy, it's giving such positive vibes it just feels happy. And you can be inspired to aim for a similar experience, it's a win win situation. I love to sit at a table with happy people so let's be happy with each others successes and lift each other up!
I recently started studying philosophy in school and have started to fall in love with it. Finding your channel has been so helpful in formulating some foundational philosophical beliefs. I appreciate your work so much, Thank you 🙏
This is why I love this channel. So many philosophical agnostic/atheist channels seem to feel so disillusioned with theism that they don’t feel comfortable discussing great works like the Screwtape Letters, which is surely a Christian work, but also just says so much about the human condition, that dismissing it solely based on the conceptual worldview of the author is disingenuous.
More than that I get annoyed with the people that treat atheism like a religion. Those sorts of people become exactly like the “evil zealots” they claim to hate. Judgmental, stubborn, hateful, and demanding everyone think the way they do or your ignorant and evil. Just the word Religion is enough to get them frothing and give unsolicited rants about how much more virtuous they are without religion.
Joe, your comment about the dangers of flippancy speaks a lot to me. I think you can turn that argument into advice about social media use; I've long been worried about snark and sarcasm on platforms like Facebook and Twitter and I think you gave me the words to describe my discomfort. Thank you!
I always found myself attracted to Philosophie and the many Ideas and Thoughts people had hundred of years ago. And now i see someone that uses that Knowledge in a incredibly entertaining and modern way. Dont stop making these videos!
I've always been daunted by philosophy despite wanting to study it. I just didn't know where to start. Thank you so much for breaking these concepts down and making them easier to digest. Your presentation is top-notch, and the insights you share are invaluable. I really appreciate this channel.
I personally struggle a lot with the issue of flippancy. In a world so convoluted and blurred between what's right and wrong I often find myself incapable of making a decision, knowing that both sides of the argument have skeletons in their closet.
"Of all decisions, make the kindest one" - the Strugatsky brothers. Or something. But you don't have to know everything to make the decision you consider the greatest expression of kindness at this point, right?
@@cheekibreeki904 Perhaps we overthink these decisions and are afraid to go with our intuition cause it’ll reveal who we truly are. And that is terrifying.
This was a great example of how you’re so good at incorporating a variety of philosophical- and also psychological- concepts in your analyses. Instead of the more commonplace approach of more narrowly review a topic through the lens of one or a few philosophers or authors, you don’t shy away from making it all the more applicable and critical by providing more of a plethora of contexts, including your own subjective, mature commentary. It’s a great format.
2:50 This is the premise of the game Werewolf (also called Mafia). The werewolves win in the vast majority of these games (and if they lose, it is usually when they are no longer the minority).
To that i will add, in the original werewolf game, there is no special roles, only villagers and wolf, in this first version of the game, the wherewolf almost always win, because a few in the know are stronger than a majority in ignorance. This was used to prove to staline that the idea of putting random people to gullage to get rid of spies was a stupid idea and inefficie.t
As a person whom spent 40 years as an atheist and a recent convert to Christianity, your respectful and precise videos earned you a subscriber. Thanks for sharing.
The kinder and more forgiving you are the more you suffer and the faster you die. Evil people are immune to suffering since they lack a conscience. They get away with everything because of naive people who love their enemies and offer them chances to change. Nothing touches them. Not justice, not karma, not God or the devil. They all live happy & healthy long lives because they are the center of their world.
Evil people who constantly get away with hurting others are just prolonging their own suffering. Eventually there will be no gullible person left to exploit, and they will be alone with nothing, but their own toxic thoughts.
But eventually; when their whole world comes crashing down around them; they will soon realize that they had no true allies; or foes. It was all just themselves.
A person who acts good with only god and self judgment in mind is a good Christian, but a person who acts good for the sake of spreading kindness and compassion itself is a good person
A person who acts good in his own eyes(and not God) may also be the biggest tyrant of all. "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.”
As a polymath who watched most of UA-cam, your content and presentation are outstanding and very rich and doesn't waste time. For 15 years I rarely watch more than 5 videos for the same channel but yours is very efficient and your way in presenting is captivating. I salute you, you are the college professor that I've never had.
Your entire approach to videos is so engaging, I think that goes without saying. BUT. I absolutely love your use of alliteration. Feel it's an underused yet classic literary tool
Thanks for another great video. Compelled to chime in on the notion mentioned of completely forgetting one's sins. I am an atheist who was raised with profound religious trauma in a very high demand christian cult. In my experience from both sides, those who easily forget their sin, (or actions in conflict with their values) simply repeat those actions with increasing frequency. I think there is value to moving past shame, while I feel it is disastrous to forget guilt or accountability. Without this I don't see how one can act with integrity.
Fantastic point. Such an important distinction. I am working on overcoming shame and recognizing manipulative shame tactics used by religion and in doing so, I have to lean heavily into (uncomfortable) self accountability. Shame never changed my mistakes it just kept them hidden.
@@carriei7017 My therapist breaks it down as shame being an external force, and guilt being internal. All I can do about the internal regrets is attempt to learn from them, and endeavour to move forward in better alignment with my internal values. The external is difficult, as there is essentially nothing we can do but reject it. Unfortunately as bald apes we still have social communal needs and thwarted belonging hurts real bad. Good luck out there.
Fantastic story! I especially loved the 'With friends like these' part. Lots of similarities can be drawn to my own life and it's diffiicult to evaluate what might have come from pure corruption.
This video was a journey that got me thinking of everyone between the average nihilist who wallows on the meaningless nature of life to the ardent theistic extremist who selectively picks passages that seemingly justify his regressive or prejudiced attitudes to malignant cynics who seem to trivialise the worst of tragedies experienced by mankind in the past and the present. Your essays take listeners on a profound journey through so many arguments and viewpoints yet it all becomes so easy to understand! What I like about your discussion on religion is that you simply clarify that your views on the existence of god are antagonistic to the norm and you don't go on a tirade for being "superior" to "antiquated believers" or anything. Hatred between theists and atheists will only serve to diminish any possibility of debate and discussion, which is obviously detrimental for all. I also appreciate your assertion to study religious scriptures to assess the writers from the past over their understanding of vice, virtue, love, hate and so much more. I'd also like to add that reading scriptures like the Valmiki Ramayana and the Mahabharata from a historiographical standpoint has led me into a rediscovery of the philosophy of my ancestors. I have seen Sri Rama, Hanumana, Sri Krishna and Arjun in a newfound view as exemplary paragons and possibly historical figures that were meant to be followed by the virtuous.
I'm pretty sure I gain IQ with each new video. I'm a recent subscriber, but I haven't seen a single bad video yet. Hands down my favorite philosophy channel
"... a debate that is worth SOME reflection" is a very interesnting way to say that we are making moral judgements from our own ignorance or ego. It is probable that truth as is may never be in our reach, that we may never know for certain a corection from an incorection. Watching your videos from Colombia, South America. Very interesting stuff.
I think ignorance is bliss is definitely a factor I've noticed the times I messed up in life were almost always times where my moral compass got confused
Well, as The Joker once said in "The Killing Joke" "...I've demonstrated that even the sanest man alive can be driven to lunacy! All it takes is one bad day. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day..."
I always watch your videos out of boredom before, and now it influenced me to do critical reading in every books i read too. I even created a localhost web application for my book reviews and analysis digitally. Your channel gave me another purpose and something to look forward in my everyday life and I am thankful for that. Keep going, Sir.
This brilliant young man rocks my world! This is my all time favorite YT channel! There isn't much I wouldn't give to hear his take on U-25 and the BSC!
Thank you so much for creating your channel and sharing such quality content with others. I appreciate not only the subjects but also the way your present them in such respectful, articulated, nuanced and enthusiastic manner. It makes it so accessible for others and it is delightful. It is what I needed and I am grateful for it. Philosophy and litterature is so relevant and important it's food for thought. Again, thank you ❤
As an ex Mormon and an aspiring writer I find the idea of secular Screwtape Letters fascinating. 🤔 If I were to write it it would be about a young self aware cult leader who doesn't believe but uses God or new age philosophy alongside psychological manipulation to slowly walk people into doing horrendous things. Perhaps there could be two cult leaders of different sects writing advice and updates to each other about their followers and successful lies. I would pull from Waco, Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and Joseph Smith but set it in the modern day with technology and the Internet leaning towards a Cyberpunk backdrop with VR and mind altering drugs.
That would be a fascinating idea - a cult based in a weird mix of "new age" with Christianity and some confusing contradictions, or even those "Prosperity Gospel" or Dominionist churches that, lets be honest, are just as cultish. And if you make it in an "atemporal" manner - as in without the need of a specific time being cited - it would be even better.
And it’s more worst when a person knows that person, hence evil even exists at times to a person we all don’t know. And this is where another part of society becomes lukewarm on each other like a hidden narcissism is at play when a lot of people never made progress.
I am religious; however I think one is never to aspire to heaven by doing good deeds, since it would be like cleaning your house just for the nice comments of visitors. Instead, one is to clean their homes every day to have a clean space and to develop nicely. And I think this is what God wants us to do. When he created plants, he intended them to grow in a certain way and under certain conditions, so was his plan when he created molecules, why would it be different with humans. And what I find fascinating in humans is that we do not only depend on the circumstances around us, but we can also rely on our will; if we don't like God's plan for us, and we feel comfortable rejecting it, we can very well do so; but then we wouldn't be developing in the best way possible for us.
Thank you for making such wonderful videos, your work has become such a source of joy for me everytime I walk to work ❤ I'd say The Screwtape Letters is my best read so far this year, thanks for your recommendation ❤
I think it's interesting that the idea that "it is never too late to be saved" is not inherently Christian. It is notably also an idea in some forms of Buddhism- While the weak translations of "enlightenment" or "euphoria" are sometimes given for nibbana/nirvana, a more literal translation is along the lines of "snuffing out," as in putting out a candle. It refers not to reaching a euphoric, wise state in a general sense, but specificially eliminating (not improving) your kamma/karma. Kamma in Buddhism means volition, your urges stemming from reaction to external and past internal forces. Basically if a bad man achieves nibbana, he comes to a state in which it makes no more sense to expect him to commit further evil deeds than it would to expect a stranger you just met or a good man to commit evil deeds; Maybe he was a murderer before, but there is no reason to expect him to be a murderer now. That sounds problematic from a secular perspective, of course, but it is very similar to the Christian ideas of sin amd salvation. Edit: haha I paused the video about a minute before the end, assuming it was basically over, and wrote that just to unpause and hear you immediately make a comparison to Buddhism's concept of selfless compassion.
@@AllanHinde-mb2pr agree but whom among us can ever return after such a transformation? When one’s very nature has succumbed to depravity on a level equal to the adversary, how could they walk away? It’s not something that can be left behind if we are to truly acknowledge its depths. Maybe there is hope in containment but our ego is far too great an adversary itself to allow one to simply re-sheath the sword. But I am ignorant of this process on any level of reality as I’ve been fortunate enough to not be in a position and as such could be completely wrong
you can never be bewitched without your acknowledgement. No one is cursed. It's a belief you give willingly. Which isn't wrong, just might be in the context you want.
I must say I find your videos very engaging. You have done an excellent job. As for the matter at hand, I am fascinated by how religions attempt to explain the world around us and what our fellow man is capable off. Religion isn't inherently evil, but it can be used like that. But the same goes with anything else
I always liked British accent so I mean whenever I see the movies you guys sound so elegant so professional that sometimes I even sit talking to a British accent sometimes for fun but then again I like British actors and British Rockstars Liam and Noel Gallagher my favorites
Been into philosophy for some time now, and every once in a while I find a chapter, or passage, or video that knocks my d in the dirt. This is one of those videos.
I have (ages ago though, I would need to re-read it to make a video on it). I would like to do a video at some point (maybe I’ll get a cowboy hat to set the tone)
Radical Evil is what I strongly believe in. Everyone starts out evil due to becoming human. If we weren’t educated by our parents or guardians or law, we would be inherently do what we want. How we do that may differ in good or bad. But what would we be if not educated and let any tendencies go unnoticed? Evil is just sowed into humans. We simply evolved or established early on, what morals are.

No amount of fiction can change a narrative of where people were in history, there was certainly a Saint John and Peter and Joseph because we hear about them in other histories from Christianity. Which provides unending philosophical discussion.
But then you have things happen that make everything even more complicated like how the Spanish tried to say Aztecs were ancient Christian’s at one point, like huh!?!?!?! I don’t need to know how to cook to see that the kitchen is on fire, this is so ridiculous of a claim that I only imagine actual scholars present when it was said had their jaws hit the floor.
"tad off interpretations" lmao being christian doesnt mean you magically share the same understanding of something that is as vague and personal as beliefs, even if its another christian
unless you talked to him directly, it will always be subjective

I have definitely seen myself in some of these examples, it can be hard to come to terms with one's innate capacity for evil
We all have the evil in us . The quest is if we choose to fight it or to enjoy it .
We're all a little evil. I use games and media to channel those impulses to great effect. The interesting part of "games make murderers" is that they're one of the reasons I've never entirely fallen off the societal wagon, and I suspect why so many others haven't either.

Not the only problem. It is also a source of joy .

Title response - some of us see each step of the way, and choose.
My mom says the same thing
Every thing done as well as not done is not only a choice, but inherently practice. We get better at everything we do or do not do. The latter is particularly problematic in theory and in practice, certainly for me personally, is the single most daunting and challenging mechanism and (ironically) dynamic at all times threatening actions and inaction with a resolute and unflinching egalitarian principle.
I read the book not too long ago. I really really loved it , CS Lewis spoke to me. I am happy that you made a video about it . Fun fact , in Romanian, the title would be translated: " Advice from an older demon to a younger one " ( captures the plot I guess 😂 ) Keep up the good work, this is high quality content ❤
About the title the same thing happened here in Brasil. It's really close to the Romanian title.
I personally enjoy the Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now model of evil. Those drawn towards evil embark on a dangerous journey up the river and either perish along the way or lose their humanity completely.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr Hyde is another story I like on man’s inner evil. Old but a classic
I'd argue that nobody in Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness is good or evil. Its simply pure chaos

"the extremity of moral demands makes it relatively easy to convince us that our values should be subsumed to a nebulously defined practicality" such an awesome video dude love this quote
"and by there I partly mean twitter". Love this guy's sense of humour!
Dear Unsolicited Advice,
Do you think it would be possible for you to make a video covering how you read the books you read (in terms of your thought process, things you look out for), and then, on how you plan your videos in a way that covers the main points in a coherent way? I feel like that would be really interesting to see, given how challenging it feels like it is to read endless series of books
Seconded!
Philosophy has been a part of my whole life even when I was a kid - now as an adult, I find it even more interesting and somewhat comforting.
- As learning oneself and the history behind phenomenons and expressions like: Love, Acceptance, Grief, Self love and being able to balance them together - while also being able to differentiate achievements and work from becoming consumerism - are all very important aspects of life people should look more into.
I especially love Greek Mythology, Romance Novels, History and Philosophy books.
So finding this channel was a great mix of all of them. I find it astonishing how this guy can resonate with my thoughts and perspective on life, while also keeping philosophy alive for other people to learn and enjoy - taking the time to truly appreciate the greatness of its importance.
(With little details like captions written in such an elegant font while also being grammatically correct every time, as well as adding a yellow colour to differentiate voice from text is an extra plus for me.)
This makes me happy, knowing that philosophy and history is not “extinct” in modern society, and is remembered in both the history books, history driven and hopeless romantics like myself, and possibly intrigue people in today’s social media ruled generation.
I just love it when strangers or friends share their stories of success and joy, it's giving such positive vibes it just feels happy. And you can be inspired to aim for a similar experience, it's a win win situation. I love to sit at a table with happy people so let's be happy with each others successes and lift each other up!
I recently started studying philosophy in school and have started to fall in love with it. Finding your channel has been so helpful in formulating some foundational philosophical beliefs. I appreciate your work so much, Thank you 🙏
This is why I love this channel. So many philosophical agnostic/atheist channels seem to feel so disillusioned with theism that they don’t feel comfortable discussing great works like the Screwtape Letters, which is surely a Christian work, but also just says so much about the human condition, that dismissing it solely based on the conceptual worldview of the author is disingenuous.
Well put
More than that I get annoyed with the people that treat atheism like a religion. Those sorts of people become exactly like the “evil zealots” they claim to hate. Judgmental, stubborn, hateful, and demanding everyone think the way they do or your ignorant and evil. Just the word Religion is enough to get them frothing and give unsolicited rants about how much more virtuous they are without religion.
Joe, your comment about the dangers of flippancy speaks a lot to me. I think you can turn that argument into advice about social media use; I've long been worried about snark and sarcasm on platforms like Facebook and Twitter and I think you gave me the words to describe my discomfort. Thank you!
I always found myself attracted to Philosophie and the many Ideas and Thoughts people had hundred of years ago. And now i see someone that uses that Knowledge in a incredibly entertaining and modern way. Dont stop making these videos!
I've always been daunted by philosophy despite wanting to study it. I just didn't know where to start. Thank you so much for breaking these concepts down and making them easier to digest. Your presentation is top-notch, and the insights you share are invaluable. I really appreciate this channel.
I personally struggle a lot with the issue of flippancy. In a world so convoluted and blurred between what's right and wrong I often find myself incapable of making a decision, knowing that both sides of the argument have skeletons in their closet.
"Of all decisions, make the kindest one" - the Strugatsky brothers.
Or something. But you don't have to know everything to make the decision you consider the greatest expression of kindness at this point, right?
@@cheekibreeki904 Perhaps we overthink these decisions and are afraid to go with our intuition cause it’ll reveal who we truly are. And that is terrifying.
This was a great example of how you’re so good at incorporating a variety of philosophical- and also psychological- concepts in your analyses. Instead of the more commonplace approach of more narrowly review a topic through the lens of one or a few philosophers or authors, you don’t shy away from making it all the more applicable and critical by providing more of a plethora of contexts, including your own subjective, mature commentary. It’s a great format.
This was literally a moral mirror for me. I really needed that. Thanks a lot man.
2:50 This is the premise of the game Werewolf (also called Mafia). The werewolves win in the vast majority of these games (and if they lose, it is usually when they are no longer the minority).
To that i will add, in the original werewolf game, there is no special roles, only villagers and wolf, in this first version of the game, the wherewolf almost always win, because a few in the know are stronger than a majority in ignorance.

The kinder and more forgiving you are the more you suffer and the faster you die. Evil people are immune to suffering since they lack a conscience. They get away with everything because of naive people who love their enemies and offer them chances to change. Nothing touches them. Not justice, not karma, not God or the devil. They all live happy & healthy long lives because they are the center of their world.
What's done in the dark will be brought to to light. They will be held accountable. Those in high places.
@@tracelee7332😂 sure…
That's not true, because eventually they find each other and tear each other's lives apart.
Evil people who constantly get away with hurting others are just prolonging their own suffering. Eventually there will be no gullible person left to exploit, and they will be alone with nothing, but their own toxic thoughts.
But eventually; when their whole world comes crashing down around them; they will soon realize that they had no true allies; or foes. It was all just themselves.
The value of your content cannot be overstated.
I'm Catholic and I love your videos. I honestly wish the best for you, man.
A person who acts good with only god and self judgment in mind is a good Christian, but a person who acts good for the sake of spreading kindness and compassion itself is a good person
And a truly good Christian becomes like Jesus and learns to love others until they become a good person.
what if i dont like people but love God unconditonally
A person who acts good in his own eyes(and not God) may also be the biggest tyrant of all.

As a polymath who watched most of UA-cam, your content and presentation are outstanding and very rich and doesn't waste time. For 15 years I rarely watch more than 5 videos for the same channel but yours is very efficient and your way in presenting is captivating. I salute you, you are the college professor that I've never had.
Your entire approach to videos is so engaging, I think that goes without saying. BUT. I absolutely love your use of alliteration. Feel it's an underused yet classic literary tool
Thanks for another great video. Compelled to chime in on the notion mentioned of completely forgetting one's sins. I am an atheist who was raised with profound religious trauma in a very high demand christian cult. In my experience from both sides, those who easily forget their sin, (or actions in conflict with their values) simply repeat those actions with increasing frequency. I think there is value to moving past shame, while I feel it is disastrous to forget guilt or accountability. Without this I don't see how one can act with integrity.
Fantastic point. Such an important distinction. I am working on overcoming shame and recognizing manipulative shame tactics used by religion and in doing so, I have to lean heavily into (uncomfortable) self accountability. Shame never changed my mistakes it just kept them hidden.
@@carriei7017 My therapist breaks it down as shame being an external force, and guilt being internal. All I can do about the internal regrets is attempt to learn from them, and endeavour to move forward in better alignment with my internal values. The external is difficult, as there is essentially nothing we can do but reject it. Unfortunately as bald apes we still have social communal needs and thwarted belonging hurts real bad. Good luck out there.
1:44 That little voice telling you that you're probably messing it all up anyway is a defining trait of web designers.

Fantastic story! I especially loved the 'With friends like these' part.
Lots of similarities can be drawn to my own life and it's diffiicult to evaluate what might have come from pure corruption.
This video was a journey that got me thinking of everyone between the average nihilist who wallows on the meaningless nature of life to the ardent theistic extremist who selectively picks passages that seemingly justify his regressive or prejudiced attitudes to malignant cynics who seem to trivialise the worst of tragedies experienced by mankind in the past and the present.
Your essays take listeners on a profound journey through so many arguments and viewpoints yet it all becomes so easy to understand!
What I like about your discussion on religion is that you simply clarify that your views on the existence of god are antagonistic to the norm and you don't go on a tirade for being "superior" to "antiquated believers" or anything. Hatred between theists and atheists will only serve to diminish any possibility of debate and discussion, which is obviously detrimental for all.
I also appreciate your assertion to study religious scriptures to assess the writers from the past over their understanding of vice, virtue, love, hate and so much more.
I'd also like to add that reading scriptures like the Valmiki Ramayana and the Mahabharata from a historiographical standpoint has led me into a rediscovery of the philosophy of my ancestors. I have seen Sri Rama, Hanumana, Sri Krishna and Arjun in a newfound view as exemplary paragons and possibly historical figures that were meant to be followed by the virtuous.
This rapidly became my favorite YT channel. Thank you for your hard work and good videos.
I'm pretty sure I gain IQ with each new video. I'm a recent subscriber, but I haven't seen a single bad video yet. Hands down my favorite philosophy channel
"... a debate that is worth SOME reflection" is a very interesnting way to say that we are making moral judgements from our own ignorance or ego. It is probable that truth as is may never be in our reach, that we may never know for certain a corection from an incorection.
Watching your videos from Colombia, South America. Very interesting stuff.
I think ignorance is bliss is definitely a factor I've noticed the times I messed up in life were almost always times where my moral compass got confused
Well, as The Joker once said in "The Killing Joke"
"...I've demonstrated that even the sanest man alive can be driven to lunacy! All it takes is one bad day.
That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day..."
Wish the Joker movie followed this version. I really hated the movie.

As an ex Mormon and an aspiring writer I find the idea of secular Screwtape Letters fascinating. 🤔 If I were to write it it would be about a young self aware cult leader who doesn't believe but uses God or new age philosophy alongside psychological manipulation to slowly walk people into doing horrendous things. Perhaps there could be two cult leaders of different sects writing advice and updates to each other about their followers and successful lies. I would pull from Waco, Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and Joseph Smith but set it in the modern day with technology and the Internet leaning towards a Cyberpunk backdrop with VR and mind altering drugs.
That would be a fascinating idea - a cult based in a weird mix of "new age" with Christianity and some confusing contradictions, or even those "Prosperity Gospel" or Dominionist churches that, lets be honest, are just as cultish.
And if you make it in an "atemporal" manner - as in without the need of a specific time being cited - it would be even better.
@@Jamhael1 YES!!!!
And it’s more worst when a person knows that person, hence evil even exists at times to a person we all don’t know. And this is where another part of society becomes lukewarm on each other like a hidden narcissism is at play when a lot of people never made progress.
Teach the people, they need it.
Thank you for your content and uploads . It is aways very interesting and easy to digest and much appreciated sir.
Thank you! That’s very kind!
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt. Still, great video as always
I am religious; however I think one is never to aspire to heaven by doing good deeds, since it would be like cleaning your house just for the nice comments of visitors. Instead, one is to clean their homes every day to have a clean space and to develop nicely. And I think this is what God wants us to do. When he created plants, he intended them to grow in a certain way and under certain conditions, so was his plan when he created molecules, why would it be different with humans. And what I find fascinating in humans is that we do not only depend on the circumstances around us, but we can also rely on our will; if we don't like God's plan for us, and we feel comfortable rejecting it, we can very well do so; but then we wouldn't be developing in the best way possible for us.
I get it now!!! Totally understand and I am guilty of overtalking everything. Thank You!!!

I think it's interesting that the idea that "it is never too late to be saved" is not inherently Christian. It is notably also an idea in some forms of Buddhism- While the weak translations of "enlightenment" or "euphoria" are sometimes given for nibbana/nirvana, a more literal translation is along the lines of "snuffing out," as in putting out a candle. It refers not to reaching a euphoric, wise state in a general sense, but specificially eliminating (not improving) your kamma/karma. Kamma in Buddhism means volition, your urges stemming from reaction to external and past internal forces. Basically if a bad man achieves nibbana, he comes to a state in which it makes no more sense to expect him to commit further evil deeds than it would to expect a stranger you just met or a good man to commit evil deeds; Maybe he was a murderer before, but there is no reason to expect him to be a murderer now.
That sounds problematic from a secular perspective, of course, but it is very similar to the Christian ideas of sin amd salvation.
Edit: haha I paused the video about a minute before the end, assuming it was basically over, and wrote that just to unpause and hear you immediately make a comparison to Buddhism's concept of selfless compassion.

@@DissipativeAdaptation if one can acknowledge what you are and step away then surely it is worth it
@@AllanHinde-mb2pr agree but whom among us can ever return after such a transformation? When one’s very nature has succumbed to depravity on a level equal to the adversary, how could they walk away? It’s not something that can be left behind if we are to truly acknowledge its depths. Maybe there is hope in containment but our ego is far too great an adversary itself to allow one to simply re-sheath the sword. But I am ignorant of this process on any level of reality as I’ve been fortunate enough to not be in a position and as such could be completely wrong

Radical Evil is what I strongly believe in. Everyone starts out evil due to becoming human. If we weren’t educated by our parents or guardians or law, we would be inherently do what we want. How we do that may differ in good or bad. But what would we be if not educated and let any tendencies go unnoticed? Evil is just sowed into humans. We simply evolved or established early on, what morals are.
