Who Loves Post-Modernism? - New Video

[docs20]

Discussing philosophical theories... it would be nice a long 3  hour video on existentialism!


Actually, it would be nice on any philosophical current out there

[ArcticGong]

Now, by coincidence, I’m learning about post modernism in university. And the episodes really filled In many gaps that my lecturers don’t have time or incentive to elaborate on. The episode was really interesting and illuminating.

Shall we never forget Jordan Peterson's post-modernism song.

 

I just noticed something possibly chauvinistic and classist about this song. Jordon's character is portrayed in the beginning as a lowly pizza taco delivery boy. In the end, he puts on a black hoodie and joins an antifa march. 

What do you think he was trying to depict here?

In JP's mind, post-modernists must be losers and degenerates.

@Husseinisdoingfine, his acting isn't even good. 😂

Jordan Peterson demonizing Michel Foucault:

Serious questions: Are the accusations presented in this video by Peterson true?

I hate how stupidly combative he can be to justify his views.

The accusations against Michel Foucault, a prominent French philosopher and social theorist, surfaced in March 2021 when Guy Sorman, a French writer and former friend of Foucault, claimed in an interview that Foucault had sexually abused young boys in Tunisia during the late 1960s. Sorman alleged that Foucault would pay boys to have sex and that these acts occurred in a cemetery in the town of Sidi Bou Said, where Foucault lived and worked during his time as a professor at the University of Tunis.

These accusations are serious and have sparked discussions about Foucault's legacy and the ethical considerations of his personal behavior. However, it's important to note that these claims are based on Sorman's account, and there has been no corroborating evidence or legal action taken to substantiate these accusations. Sorman's statements were made decades after the alleged events, and there has been no independent investigation or evidence presented to verify the claims.

As of now, the truth of these accusations remains unclear, and they should be considered allegations rather than confirmed facts. The lack of evidence makes it challenging to draw definitive conclusions about the veracity of these claims

[Thought Art]

Sort of lazy of Peterson to say something as true, which hasn't really been verified. Is that a form of dishonesty? 

Though, no major news sources or accusations from victims exist... Foucalt did sign a 1977 petition saying people 13 and above can consent to sexual activities. 

But, there is no concrete evidence.

Doesn't seem out of character for Foucault 

[Thought Art]

@Leo Gura I don't know much about him...

based on a chatgpt inquiry he appears to be a gay may who was part of the gay liberation movement. But, is that what you mean?

Not sure if what’s written in this article is true, but disturbing if it is:

@Thought Art These early PMs were strange blokes with radical views and lifestyles.

But it's not like pedophiles don't exist in the pre-modern churches.

This is why I stress insight and Pure Philosophy, free from human figures and even free of historical schools of thought.

What matters is the validity of the insight.

@Leo Gura Imagine if Peterson was like “You mean the same Christianity with systemic pedophilia issues going back decades and centuries?”

That's the problem with all of JP's points. They are so biased and one-sided.

Imagine if I made a video exclusively listing all the evils of modernism and premodernism.
