”Do not fear having no friends. Fear having bad friends” ~My life taught lesson

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."

“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.” - Immanuel Kant

There's something so therapeutic about videos of philosophy

The difference between the golden rule and Kant’s categorical imperative is that it’s not just about how you treat others. Many people take the golden rule to mean “if I harm no one, I can do as I please” while ignoring all the other biblical rules for life. Kant’s imperative makes a key distinction to avoid this, suggesting that you cannot harm yourself either. E.g. you taking drugs or drinking heavily might not harm other people but if the whole world did this, there would be more mental illness, more violence etc. Similarly, simple laziness would in Kant’s view be unethical. Therefore, if we were to to reform the golden rule in view of Kant we might say “treat others as you you wish to be treated and treat yourself as you wish others to treat themselves” At least that’s my understanding

"Enlightenment is the man's emergence from the self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another"

The most powerful way to think is truly to not think at all

Immanuel Kant. Your favorite philosopher’s favorite philosopher.

I just started reading your book, "The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence."

Thanks for this video. We appreciate all the useful insights that come along with it.

Great video! Btw thank you for adding subtitles, as an english-learner it allows me to check the words that I don't know to learn them and then I watch the video again

It seems as though this is my path...as much as I dislike it and as social as I am I find myself alone...and so here we go, Thank you Mr. Kant.

Well done! Perfection as always!

Thinking clearly helps us analyze and put our attention and focuses on matters that genuinely do matter in our lives. With a clear mind, you have a more clearer vision of what the future may have in store for you and everyone around you. It's something that can be taken for granted, but maybe that's just how things go in reality.

Intuition without concept is blind. Glad to know this man knew this in those times. Now, I am intrigue on what he did with it. What was his concept? Though, I am certain in one thing. He reached the total wantness of a man: the final thread of the seemingly true purpose. And that is to be on TOP of anything and everyone else. Be it by force or anything that will make us reach it. Though, our brain is preventing us from getting out of comfort. Therefore, lucky to this man, he had family, and good position in his community back then. To me, though, he didn't reach that point, he simply made it so to somehow believe that his purpose is different. And that's what most us are doing. If it's hard, somewhat impossible, would put us in trouble, and close to death, we'll divert our thoughts into something which would justify our weakness. However, believe me, it'll back before everything ends. I am in my late 20's & I figure how boring our society, laws, politics, and almost everything, esp. people. If God is looking at us now, if there is one or two, may they not make me King for I've reached the end of the final thread. People are the same as ants, as trees, as lands, as seas, as skies, among others. But if you need more bees, more trees, more lands, more clean seas, more peaceful skies, you don't plant more trees or clean your oceans. Just go straight ahead and lessen the demand. Unfortunately, people in sits are doing it wrong, for they don't have the blood. They're actors but they don't have the blood. War is not the way. But how to escape the laws against killing other than WAR? How? Think. People are greedy, self-centered, ambitious beings. Feed them well now cut it later. Give them reason the ants are to blame as to why it happened & they'll annihilate those ants in no time. You see, my point is, the people whom you look up to, esp. those cleaver, intelligent, the known philosophers, etc...they are ALL resentful. For they are sleeping with their demons everytime to go to bed. They reached that point of the conciousness and there's no turning back from it. Thus, they enticed people, hoping, if not in their times, maybe in the coming generations, their TRUE feels will be realized. Go and check every books including the book of diff. religions. You'll see the same pattern. BUT people are doing it wrong. They don't have the blood. No power in their voice. No aura. Just a pile of flesh a little better than the majority because capitalism(hoarding) favors them a bit more. This in terms of things that am sure 98% of people are chasing in this mundane world: material belongings. Unfortunately, there a few, who don't care about those type of people. Again, they're same as ants. May the god, God, or whatever it is out there, would not favor me in this life. For I would not hesitate to make those ants pay and let nature rest while I am here. Everything this man ever wanted in his second being, including other philosophers, prophets, your gods, will be one in Me. If this happens, you'll hear the voice of the earth no matter where you are. Wars are minors. The true thing is coming. We are past the waters. Fast approaching the surface of it all. I am marked.

As always, amazing video!
