This mirrors what was illuminated to me after a powerful experience on psychedelics (ayahuasca). The immensity of the freedom led and has led to immense terror at the vastness and infinite nature of choice. An overwhelming sense of responsibility. It’s brought me to the brink and edge of madness and suicidality. Yet I go on, because I do believe in my stumbling I’ll find what I’m after.

Like music, we might be confined by a limited number of "notes," but it doesn't have to stop us from using them to their full potential and creating myriads of unique melodies and sounds. We're always free to experiment with the frameworks we're bound to.

Always love how much these videos just make me think and appreciate.

Excellent! You have clarified many points about Sartre on which I was vague. Thank you.

What an incredible video! It not only gave me a much better understanding of existentialism through clear explanations and examples, but was also wonderfully edited. Thank you for that! I have never subscribed to a Patreon before, but I'm changing that now and making you the first :) Also, would love to see even more videos on existentialism!

woah so many great videos recently!

You're on a roll lately!

Just loved the way you presented

That "Me, Myself & I" with the G-Key was rly cool xD

Love it man

Well done mate, keep the good work 🙏

Look fwd to learning more from you @Then & Now, just found your channel and really like this content. Starting to practice little understandings is quite enlightening etc- its intersting to see the change in ones cogniive system - I can get confused though when i try to understan things predominately in thoughts and words- your videos really help to put words to some of my experiences - which is pretty cool/ helpful

I like these endnotes. When I was listening to this narrative I was thinking about the idea of invisible design particularly Dieter Ram. Obviously this is a counter point to Sartre in the sense that influence can be embedded into something unnoticeable. I might also say these two positions are complementary, but not explicitly.

""👁👁"" What you attend becomes your place of being, of noetic attentiveness, of self wholesomeness, and yet self sense that is sense of consciousness remains transcendent. In all , that is even in transcendence mode, the mind choice is paramount where to stand, how to attend, and why.

Whoah baby, are you spying on my books to read pile? I just started Sarte (see what I did there, with the rhyme, pretty cool huh).

It's interesting, Buddhist philosophy, and to an extent Hindu philosophy as well, share a lot with the phenomenology, theory of senses, and psychological theories that Sartre talks about. Amazing considering the thousands of years and miles in between Sartre and ancient India. Yet they split in different ways eg. metaphysically in concluding an existence of souls (or not), ethically in what one must do to achieve (or perhaps more appropriately reconcile with) one's freedom...

Have you considered doing a video on Husserl? I am curious on what you thing about him. :)

The problem is that consciousness really does need a definition because at present all we can say is what it does not what it is. That said , maybe a functional description suffices but..? Also, even though I'm still 'trying to get a grip' on Heidegger and hopefully I will at some point, you can tell he made a huge impact on him even though I'm guessing that Heidegger would have a lot to say about his interpretation of his ideas never mind Sartre's own ideas.

This is one of the most lucid accounts of Sartrean philosophy. I would like to interact with you further. Is there an email I can write to reach you? I am from India. Thanks!

what is the music in the beginning?

It fits the everything is one theory. You with exactly my life experimce would be me and vice versa cuz u would have my essence

Is hard determinism really incompatible with existentialism?

Maybe you should look at Merleau-Ponty.

You didn't mention his relationship with Heidegger

The thumbnail lacks clef, time signature and tempo. How am I supposed to sprechgesang (yes, I’m verbing the noun like a linguistic anarchist) the words in my head without these points of reference?

The Westerlies - When all of this is Over

There's similarities with the theory of positive disintegration

We aren't allowed to go where we want. We need to ask our overlords to grant us permission.(passports) And this could be removed if they aren't pleased with what we say or do. It could also not be granted by other countries. We also need to comply to the 298575876434797 rules of planes, boats, road laws and the elephant in the room : Money. If you're poor, you aren't allowed to go where you want. We've been domesticated by the elites and most applaud out of fear. We're pathetic.

If you didn’t pay attention to the video, most of his philosophy centers around the idea that humans are condemned to be free, therefore any identifications that you attach to your being (as you did with literally the 1st word of your comment) is a mere illusion.

@@kkounal974 Being trans was not the insecurity I was eluding to and your interpretation, is giving things away about the lack of diversity in your though. Trans is a mode of being which according to Sartre, is deliberately chosen by the "for itself". The insecurity stems from ones inability to take full responsibility of it's freedom and choices as maintained by Sartre, that ultimately falls into "bad faith". The overarching idea of my comment was to point out the stupidity of taking out context one line without being familiar with the philosopher and their philosophy. This really seems like a dishonest jab.

“This park smells of vomit!”

Not sure how separating 'self' and 'consciousness' is helpful. Doing this clarifies nothing. It just puts consciousness in a more mysterious, rarified position. It's best to remind oneself, consciousness is a physical, mechanical activity in your body and it's faulty like all parts of your body are faulty. You forget, misremember, misjudge and are unable to cogently string thoughts together. This is no different than blurry eyes, ringing ears, diabetes and constant knee pain.
