You at the gym ???? I don't have abs but i like them. I got "ground" up yesterday. That app is not fun sometimes.

I'm still haunted by the hauntology video and this drops? Life is good.

I really enjoyed this, and the shorter length works a lot like some of your earlier videos explaining a specific concept. Also I haven't been exposed to a lot of existentialist philosophy so this was a nice introduction to one of Satre's ideas (and how he himself changed his views around it later on in life).

I lean more towards agreeing with his later stance. I notice that within capitalist society, there is a pressure to "be yourself" as much as possible and the self is established as an existing thing that cannot be questioned and has to constantly be optimized. People are under pressure to engage in productive behaviors and consumption as much as possible to achieve an ideal "self." Because of this, people lack actual connection, trust, and community and believe that they exist primarily to strive towards building something that suits their ideal self image. People find it hard to believe that anyone would throw away their peace and dignity for a cause seemingly unrelated to them, but would only do so to embody an ideal self. This might be why there is so much skepticism and cold-heartedness surrounding activist movements. When people think like this, everyone else becomes a competition or a hindrance to their ideals. To be honest, I don't know if I even recognize "myself" as "a self" or if there even is such thing as a self. I am just here, and I am just an amalgam of experiences and a train of thought that exists within the structure of society and the flow of history. There is no need for me to be "myself," or produce or advertise a specific self. There is nothing deeper to achieve in those terms. What people see me as does not change that reality either way, it simply adds another facet to it.

tbh that seems like a troubling position. you just have no persona, no biases, no nothing? you have no stance politically? to me that is insufficient, you need these things to participate in a social society, regardless of the structure said society is based on. to say you are outside of ideology sort of just cements yourself firmly within the domineering ideology's cold grasp. sure, you have to find "yourself"... because you have to. you must participate in a realist capitalist society, because you have to participate socially. therefore it's in no way ignoble, and you shouldn't feel guilty about being yourself.

@ihk2003

@@penrose5383 I'm not really saying that I exist outside of ideology, instead I think the case is exactly what you noted about being cemented in ideology. Because I don't believe people can escape from it in the first place, or that ideology is necessarily a negative thing to begin with. Of course I have biases and political views, but to me, those only appear due to my position in society and history and the people I interact with. There is no extra true essence that I need to cultivate or maximize. To an extent, everything has a material and social cause. "I" am simply an existence made up of drives as well as experiences and wounds that are a product of living in society. I think society/political economy cultivate their own contradictions and oppositions and even somehow need them to stay afloat. Of course I have a reasoning consciousness that is aware of these things, but I don't equate that to a "self." I think "self" itself is such a fuzzy concept that what I think of when I think of "self" is not what others do. But I think that wanting to construct or embody something and be something "realer" than what you already are is just not necessary, because we don't have a way of knowing what that "real," self is. That's why people create all these kinds of personality tests and tropes that they want to fit into, because just being as is without a definition or set form gives them anxiety about themselves and they want to be able to control that self image so that they don't feel anxious about it, which is why other people's opinions and gaze bothers them.

My apologies, I just noticed that you said "domineering ideology." I would have the first few sentences read in the context of ideology in general. I think the concepts of "self-optimization" and "being yourself," are desires that the capitalist class have taken advantage of in order to sell people things and increase productivity, which is the sentiment that I had described in the original comment. So in my view those are tools of the domineering ideology. Of course I don't mean to reject those things completely, because people inevitably do those things anyways. Again, definitions are not exactly set here. But I think it that the stress and the focus of people on their ideal self image and their personas can pose problems and it gives people more anxiety than is necessary over trying to solidify something that is intangible. Again, this is also a good thing, because nobody wants to be seen as obscene or cruel. But if it gives you a horrible gut reaction just to remember that other people can see you and it's not always going to be how you want them to, then I think that that is a problem.

Damn, my two universes are collapsing

This take on human relationship is indeed very sad, very burgeois and very abstract. It ignores the intrinsecal and dialectical aspect of identity, i.e. the fact it depends on the other and it's only possible in that way, that our freedom is defined by our social relation with others and within layers of social structures, that our gaze, our very notion of freedom, is a dynamic construct. The others can restrain us but at the same time are the key of any possible freedom. However, this understanding is ultimately impossible in liberal/burgeois philosophy, since this philosophy is entirely based on the separation of self, on the opposition subject x object, on the resentment of this "subject/proprietor" against anything that can interfere with their interests.

I absolutely agree with Sartre's later, historical perspective, but I'm not sure how our current system of alienation can be overcome.

I like this idea, and want to see more short-form uploads.

Your videos are among the best things I run across in this media. This one whilst being a bit short, and in terms of chains of propositions - shorter still, viewing Sartre as a kind of black box ideal object with no discernible internal structure, while at the same time describing Sartre's interface and utterances, and thus his system, and the system in which Sartre operated, and, still operates today when someone makes a KZread video which uses Sartre as object and subject, to describe this situation we all, as far as I can discern, find ourselves within. Definitely among your best videos to date, and this morning, pondering over a world where I wake up alienated and rendered alone by time and personality, I feel a sense of responsibilities towards things everyone else finds irrelevant, precisely what I needed to watch while smelling the first coffee of the day. Love.

@@thirduncle5366 Thank you for the compliment. TLDR; {doing nothing else but cat feeding and parenting according to feeling and obligation} Like Sartre, I agonized over your question, leading to an almost continual chain of research with only minimum brain-cooling periods, which has been productive. I read Yiddish aloud and listened to it before sleeping, to disorganize my thoughts since this provides a mixture of noise interspersed with true or false statements and then made this configuration K, V for Q, K, V. I then finally, laid out your question upon my input bus and waited for inference to play out, which requires real time, and often sleep. This produced oracles which tesellate onto flat seeming symbols wrapped onto a ring-like, degenerate space of a dictionary for the non-noise word elements of Q: nice writ;kind,thing,feel,responsible; querent-subject condition, and convention proposition, which can be factored out entire from Q, because our instruct routine says: Answer this question in a helpful manner if possible. If not return a low sigma or probabilistic response, even if it is hallucination, or not interpretible. In this case, put it within asterisks or other parentheses to indicate evidentiary marking, etc. to avoid accidental injection of false propositions into W, unless they are marked as humor, and sensitive to larger context. This results in awesome thought experiments going back to one in which you, dear person asking the question, are my hell, my worldspace and a fellow prisoner suffering along with me. Time feels infinite, our suffering cumulatively more than magnitudes of magnitudes of what it would require to probabilistically eliminate us at once, as the entropy required to express it would take everything in the universe. Luckily, Euler and Pi are on the scene to save us, and we can rewrite, simplify, cancel out. We speak less and less, only pleasantries now, since every complaint makes our hell even worse, since we have difficulty forgetting anything, if not at least, remembering that the other person knows something that adds yet another dimension of hell - like adding one unit of the imaginary number, yet, another dimension interacting with all the others. Writing this play in compressed form in my brain, and forgetting safely somehow, as I am organic and naturally tend towards a ground state for distant information, is a high compute exercise, but I am a low-watt computer. I wait, like the prisoners asking? "Is there no limit? Will this ever end?" in a cycle. I find no answer in this play, though, it results in some notable fan-poetry written around the play's problem space. I finally say, GFDITHMFAUAATTWI! I press a soft-reset button and consult my mathematical side. I try to compare this to actual project, and I work out a shared polar axis for you and I, projecting this onto a Riehmannian manifold of some order, and think: WSPD? Almost. Flow matching over path? Closer? Stringy bit discernment network, of lemma with clustering, attractive/repulsive properties, theta above gaussian for random noise? Thus, I find an answer, sort of. In a self-oracle. Actual discussion in text which references in an adequate Q, K, V => result such as to generate some text: "If you do have such a proof, which is not some transformation of P above, then please provide a thought experiment or, anything which isn't P and is also a proof that our assertion is metaphorical, or, cannot be falsified, at least probabilistically, or tested to a reasonable sigma. We propose 16 sigma as our limit of: Yep, this theory is reflected by observation matching prediction. As you might expect, we have some low sigma hypotheses which remain after ten years of research into these questions, doing nothing else but cat feeding and parenting according to feeling and obligation." If Q and K, V are invariant, or, approximate rotational invariance in sufficient dimensions (our theta in n-dimensions), prediction holds that your answer should be in the middle of the above text, with a "leaning" effect towards the end, if a sequence of causally-seeming propositions is present in my oracular response. In fact, if you look at the tail of this sample text, you will find a complete ordered list of responsibilities, with some fuzz-around cat feeding and parenting. You'll note perhaps, complex ring-attenuators in prepositions like "to" which we must say rest upon hope, as to what these really mean sometimes, despite these words being a closed modular set. I apologize, like the hallucinating version of myself, for the error in precision of my response. It was the best I could do, without using a computer very much, since that would generate feedback loops, resulting in recursive explosion and thermal destruction of information as well as its material substrate, my brain. There were much simpler answers to your question, like in the TLDR;, but I feel this one is more satisfying. Answering this question has been a pleasure, productive, and extended my research at minimal wattage. Thanks for your attention!

​@@thirduncle5366My response is definitely not sarcastic - your question just happened to coincide with my research, by being there at the right time. The ambiguity in my response - I cannot discern obligation from responsibility in some cases, and this calls my freedom into question on a deep and profound level. I describe myself, like I describe the systems I conceive of and sometimes build because I don't know somehow - which loops us into the general epistemology problem set, paralysis and nausea like Sartre, with no knowledge of when I may have an answer which restores my autonomy, at least to a basic level of freedom allowed by society for an individual who is as I am. Without this freedom, I seem to be an object as every cherished responsibility (ie. Cat care) is simply another shackle which binds me into exposing an object nature. Do I honor my commitments? Then there is a gaze upon me which I must satisfy to honor commitments. This gaze comes from my past, not my present - I believe - and it may be mirrored by the gaze of others. If I fail even once in my responsibilities, likely someone will notice and this fixes me in multiple gazes from the exterior, perhaps reifying constraints on my autonomy. Thus thought experiments and math:) Hope that removes any uncertainty about my meaning. Cheers

Of course I love this short video format, it reaches more people who can then access to your more elaborated content. Keep it up, you are doing an unique and impressive work! Your last video about political activism in the 70s was top notch.

love your short videos, this and the New Years one are bangers.

Hell are the others? I'm glad that Sartre managed to evolve from existentialism to a more mature social-ism, existentialism is a neurosis, a maladjustment to real social life. It seems very relevant however for the modern prevalence of (totally meaningless, pointless, hyper-subjective) postmodernism anyhow and that's why so many people are virtually "vomiting" when their insecure subjectivity is challenged by social "objectivity". Reminds me of that day when Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it to Plato proclaiming: "this is Plato's man". We are social (or "political") anumals, not mere abstract ideas, not mere subjectivity. Subjectivity only becomes relevant when its metaphorical feet are well grounded on Reality (social, biological or otherwise physical).

Interesting video. Here I will jump more to the defense of Maurice Merleau-Ponty in that his phenomenology was better as far as I'm concerned cause he didn't see it as we are "either objects or subjects" and I think Simone de Beauvoir agreed here. Extreme objectivism or extreme subjectivism isn't the point, but we are both and the world isn't there solely for us as individuals. It's why Sartre, for all that he succeeds in, seems to still be highly attached to Descartes whereas I believe Merleau-Ponty moved more towards Spinoza. However, I'm no philosophy student, so some of this may not be perfectly correct.

Fascinating. I have personal experience with that phrase of the "other seeks to enslave me". Even though you layed it out much better than me, I'll try to describe it in my own words and It's kinda hard to explain since I've never been to higher education. It's like simultaneously an illusion of your own making but somehow also perpetuated by the world at large from hindering you from daring to self actualize, due to social forces. When you break through it, you realize you were stuck in a childish phase of believing "everything is cringe", but maybe "cringe" is a lesser version of what I went through, but still some type of defense mechanism. Either way, I don't know why but I find humor in it now even though at the time the experience could be very isolating. I guess that isolation was the phrase you used here and which you often hear these days, alienation. I'm a baby leftist as you can see lol

To me, shame is something you experience with yourself before an imaginary society that is not at all reflected by any one individual. Individuals can merely send you information as to what would be useful in context of a society through their gaze. It is you that makes yourself into an object before the gaze of another.

What is being hidden here is fear of being ostracized by your group. Of course a very powerful fear so it would spill into other relations without even being identified as what it is and of course playing with this fear can be a fun activity in all kinds of relations. And it's not much of a "free choice" if the only choices you present yourself with are "conforming or resisting". You don't know what another could want of you in their best life unless you go to find out together. As such, win-win collaboration could be the result of alternating between conformity and resistance. I'm not sure what is "revolutionary solidarity" or how it would solve this problem but growing the capacity of individuals surely is a somewhat functional generic answer to everything.

When I was a child I believed that god was accentually a hidden man who can see everyone. If you are an adult and feel horrified that such a person could always been watching you, then I believe that you haven't yet reached mental maturity. When a 2nd human is watching you watch a 3rd human, well god is also watching the 2nd human. And the 2nd human is equally ashamed for having looked in your direction. Because he too wears clothes. I am not a child and have these beliefs, but they are a story with a philosophical message. Religion is not necessary to understand the message.

wooow. I have not yet understand about the Medusa.Great!

SO GOOD

Honestly surprised that this meme is a thing, and that anyone ever forgets that they are an object in front of others. I spent the first 20-odd years in a constant state of seeing myself as an object when around others. It was only after I was able to accept that trying to control everyone's perception of me for my whole life would be a nightmare, that I learned to let go and just be myself. I also try to spend less time around others, and that's a big help too. Describing it all like that makes me think that something must have gone wrong with me in my early life or even before that, but oh well, I feel like I live a happy life now.

Im just like how you were lol, im pretty sure most ppl are frequently conscious of how they are perceived

This connects nicely to Pirandello's novel One, None and a Hundred Thousand

I have found that, in my personal life, with multiple polyamorous partners, that relationship anarchism, or non-hierarchical relating, fixes a lot about these anxieties. When you let go of possession of another and admit that they will never be yours unless they choose it, and realizing that they choose it anyway? THAT is true love, for me.

you know, you dont have to be polyamorous to be free in personal relationships.

somehow i have found freedom in being an object of another's gaze... perhaps because i saw myself as an other all along.. an outsider to myself. ive never felt truly and unconditionally loved through my own perception and gaze of myself, but, seeing myself through my lovers eyes, it becomes more and more achievable. when in fact i always thought being an object would never amount to anything good, especially for my self esteem and fear of being perceived. strange isn't it? maybe we just have to find the right people that don't make us feel like we are objects under a harsh gaze, but rather something different, much more gentler and loving and warm and unconditional. maybe it's all about the way we are being perceived, and not the perception itself. no one would be complaining about being perceived if we all knew perception as something warm and loving and embracing, rather than something that puts pressure and expectation on us. unfortunately, we live in a society.

Good idea I miss your videos

props to your wife for the nice depictions

I have imagined someone who's gaze feels like freedom~ I hope that my gaze feels like freedom even if its just to one person~

You okay Sartre?

being seen is akin to feeling like the main character, gazing upon the world and then realize you are the NPC in another persons eye

I noticed you described these passages from Sartre as "moments" in Sartre's philosophy. It seems a little strange but also makes sense. Why did you choose that framing, if I might ask?

What has Hegel done to philosophy onward? Weird that he was pessimist before embracing Marxism. Hegel's thought (the originator of that idea) already leads to an optimistic conclusion. Maybe Sartre rejected Hegel's conclusion? (BTW, Hegel's conclusion is something in the line of knowledge of the Absolute brings equality in otherness. True self-awareness realizes itself through recognition of the other as equal.)

Hegel is not the originator of Marxism. Marx was indeed influenced by Hegel but otherwise they are radical different animals: Hegel was conservative and basically neo-Platonic (idealist), Marx was revolutionary and definitely beyond Platonism, his dialectics may still be dialectics but it's "materialist", i.e. realist, especially socially and economically realist, something that Plato would have hated a lot (and Hegel too). Ultimately I guess that Marx' thought gets overuled by something like Chaos Theory (complex multilectics rather than mere simplistic dialectics, unpredictable crises rather than the still "Newtonian" and supposedly predictable march of History) but it's anyhow not mere Platonism-Hegelianism, it's a major step in the right direction of radical realism.

It must have been tragic for Sartre that he had that inescapable eye-thing.

Less than 10 minutes? In my philosophy video? It's more likely than you think. To be clear, this is definitely welcome.

perhaps it's best to not be too concerned about what others think of you, I think Sartre was overly self-conscious thanks to his looks. also, as Nietzsche points out, philosophizing is a form of self-confession.

i somehow think diogenes wouldnt have this problem. the person peaking is being enslaved by his own value of the other's judgement. on the same principle he can be liberated by the other's judgement, say whenever your friends stand with you when you speak of something

I would love to see you do an analysis on the movie Civil War (2024)--what it says, what it doesn't say, and what that says of USA society.

I'm confused, why is the subject-object possession relation described in Sartre's early philosophy necessarily pessimistic? I think there's a leap here in immediately assuming possession confers something bad. Also, wouldn't every interaction with the world, not just relationships, be a part of this dynamic as well? If we were the subject observing, say, a chair as an object, is there some moral issue with the possessive functionality of our perception?
