      He has been my moral compass for 2 decades, but I have fear for humanity if Elon Musk tweets or Jordan Peterson's jibberish are more relevant in public sphere! I also blame large chunk of leftists,who sold them selves & other are fighting over popularity! Thank God that dr West is still among us,but I don't see anyone replacing him!I used to live in States, but unlike others I couldn't stay! Peace & love from Adriatic Coast Croatia 🙏

      He draws from everything and everyone in creating a philosophical outlook that has no definite form, takes no position on anything, and can’t seem to make a clear and precise statement as to what he actually stands for.
      overpowering wave of vague generalities and moralistic slogans in which nothing is worked through in a systematic way.

    Kafka is about where this nation is about to go to, Dante, sees the rest of the picture, Orwell presents but one bleak outcome, but the music that brought all of this together, is being connected again with our collective unconscious, and artists are beginning to tease out and wheedle out all of the newer positive potential, by wrestling with those subjects

    Cornel West is very profound thinker. He’s always on the right side of history. As a Black man in America he sees all the contradictions that we face in life. He’s spot on in his analysis of the materialism we’ve all become prisoner!

    • @haroldbrown5308
      @haroldbrown5308 10 місяців тому +1

      If he is on the right side of history, why won't he make public his plans to repy his back taxes and back child support? Some side of history---very strange!

    How does what West preaches translate to the everyday person? Where is it reflected in the interaction between everyday Black people and Black politicians and activist? This is an important question, as in the mist of all these idelaistic/loving talk, the violence rate among Black people, stays constant or is rising? Jeesie Jackson decades ago asked "what does it matter that the doors of opportunity are opened to you, if you are too drunk to stagger through them"? Black activist especially and some politicians, seem unwilling to ask much of Black people. Al Sharpton however seems to be breaking away from this mold, based on the last two times I've listened to his radio broadcast. He has addressed with concern, the issue of vioence among us. I don't know what took him so long, but now is of course, better than never. Now, how do we get others, to come to have the same concern, and begin to work on solutions to it? I don't know what West will say, but leadership in this area, is surely needed.

    There are couple prominent voices wich combine left thought with Christianity! From top of my head,I can name two of them & they are my favorite living thinkers; Cornel West & Slavoj Zizek! But they are both entered in the 8th decade of their lives! Who will step into their shoes? I'm a pessimist here...🤔

    Cornel West is brilliant. He is right about almost everything. However, he is totally wrong that Sarah Vaughan was the "greatest musical artist of the 20th century". Sarah Vaughan was a great vocalist, but FAR from the greatest musical artist of the 20th century. How did West even come to that conclusion ? I think Sarah Vaughan would profoundly disagree
    Here is my pick for the greatest musical artists of the 20th century:
    - Robert Johnson
    - Louis Armstrong
    - Duke Ellington
    - George Gershwin
    - Miles Davis
    - John Coltrane
    - Stephen Sondheim
    - Curtis Mayfield
    - Stevie Wonder
    - Marvin Gaye ("What's Going On")
    - Bob Marley
    - Prince
    - Michael Jackson
