    When narration suddenly turns from a description of the horror of modern egotistical self-tyranny to “like and subscribe” at the end of this video - I felt the deepest paralysing horror in a long time)
    Excellent job)))

    I'm so floored by this video, wow. So many priceless insights presenterd in such succinct manner. Most channels would only convert a quarter of it in an over hour long video essay. I wanted to quote a few things from while sharing it, in order to entice others to watch it... But there are honestly so many great points, that it's a bit difficult to pick. It's such a wonderful and comprehensive description of how this digital age has morphed our culture and our individual psychology. Thank you so much for this!

    I found myself thinking of Riddler’s “swarm” at the end of The Batman. Ofc they are just mass shooters writ large but we can perhaps better understand the shooter phenomenon by seeing them in this way. They are a group of frustrated disconnected individuals. The multiplicity or numerous quality is actually an illusion; they are all the same person, duplicated and agglomerated by the internet.

    I have read some of Han's books, but I have never understood what he was saying on the level that you have explained it. Thank you so much for making this video.

    I recently read several books by byung chul han. He is one of my favourite contemporary philosophers at the moment. I Loved this analysis. It was very helpful in understanding the text. Thank you.
    Please continue to make more videos of other books by byung chul han as well.

    Amazing video!!!!!! What an amazing author, I already had my suspicions about the problems with the digital age. But this video only confirms them and makes me even more cautious. I’m going to try and limit my consumption of social media even more now. Except for your channel and channels like yours.

    I was not familiar with this distinction between “swarm” and “mass”-that’s really interesting. “Swam” has no soul…dang…This video was also excellent, and there were countless amazing points, from how journalists are now in “the way” of the immediacy of information, how our “being” today is basically fated for exhaustion, and the amazing point that because we cannot be a “mass” today, we cannot make any real political change, and so the “swam” spends all its time attacking individuals, which is far easier and more entertaining. Amazing. If you get a chance, you might enjoy the work of Raymond K Hessel: he is excellent on Psycho Politics, and has a few reflections on Han himself.

    the swarm may take a while before its divides itself into individual factions because the internet is so new, but it will eventually do so over time

    Well done. I’ve just learned about Han recently and found this video very informative.

    The tragedy of modern man is that his intelligence, his spirituality and his contemplative independence have been inoexorably throttled by his own superego which has sold itself without compromise to technology.
    If the prophets, poets and priest foresakes the vestiges of wisdom for the empty headed crowing of advertisers and engineers of opinion, then there is nothing left for mankind but total insanity.
