    Hi, this is the first of your videos that I've stumbled upon, and I really enjoyed the message! I, like many have some "anxiety," as you put it, about whether X upcoming Star Wars story will be any good. But from what I've seen and heard in online discourse, I don't think I feel as intensely disappointed, angry, or even sometimes apathetic as many others do. When I see online comments that pronounce Star Wars dead in reaction to whatever the latest thing is, I sort of roll my eyes since we have over 45 years' worth of stories that generally are still accessible. Though I'm on the younger side and therefore have been discovering many of the pre-Disney EU stories for the first time in the last few years. Perhaps many of these people already read, watched, or played these stories when they came out, so they don't have the same novelty that they do for me, which makes it extra painful when the stories that should be novel end up being lackluster. On another note, it's so cool to hear someone talking more in-depth about individual an individual aspect of Legacy of the Force. I read that series last year, and really enjoyed it! Don't worry, it wasn't the first EU series I read. 😅 I read the Thrawn trilogy before LotF. Speaking of which, one of the concepts from that series, (specifically The Last Command) that I seems like someone of your background would have interesting things to say about it when Joruus C'baoth begins going all-out with his mind domination techniques. It was a year or two since I read it but the chapter about an Imperial Army officer's mind being controlled by and becoming dependent on the Dark Jedi was really interesting to me, in a creepy way of course. Related to that, I think in the first book Thrawn and C'baoth discuss their respective interpretations of "power" which was interesting. Do you plan on discussing any of these concepts?

  • @profmccoige
    @profmccoige23 күн бұрын

    I definitely will, especially the conceptions of power in the Thrawn trilogy, as well as Luke's self-doubt that leads him to being tricked by C'baoth. First though in this series I'll probably be talking about my favourite EU book, "I, Jedi" for a few videos, then probably a few things from the New Jedi Order series.

    In the star wars galaxy, technological progress has somewhat stagnated. It's an aspect of the worldbuilding that I really enjoy. We spend a lot of time in outer rim territories where resources are more scarce and it leads to most technology being reused or repurposed in some way. And it leads to a really interesting aesthetic, much different from the pristine and polish we typically associate with futuristic tech in fiction. It means that a several decades old droids like R2 and 3PO are still relevant. Space travel has existed in the same form for so long that it has become trivialized, and you can get your ship fixed in a local workshop with salvaged parts. Add the supernatural element of the force and it really does feel like a fantasy.

    Bro decide what you’re gonna say before you start recording and then start the video. And ungoliant is not the mother of all spiders. She assumes a spider form in early times and then when she flees morgoths balrogs she mates with the spiders she finds, and then kills them. Therefore spiders already existed. Therefore your conclusion is baseless.

    I also wonder if there’s any reason for the Song of Healing being used for both its own purpose and for the clock tower and Happy Mask Salesman’s theme. I always thought they seemed decently unrelated other than the fact that he gives you the song, and I don’t know how to parse the difference in all honesty. Part of me wants to chalk it up to a somewhat shoehorned motif due to time restraint.

    Not sure I can follow you here. Yes, there is a sense in which a nation only exists in mente (which is not nonexistence per se but a mode of existence, i.e. intentional existence). But a nation can also be thought of as relations. And to use the family example, you, as an individual, are in some sense constituted by your relationships. If you were to "delete" my brother from existence, a part of who I am would be gone. I am made up of those relationships of love that I have. This is a web conception of personhood where each node or cross section is the person who exists in real relations with other persons. This also allows us to understand the mystery of living in the body of Christ (where we are each members of a greater whole- standing in real relationships) and The Trinity (where the ceiling of reality, as it were, just is persons who are their subsistent relations of love to each other). I doubt one can really understand contemplative or mystical realities unless this is appreciated. Reality is trans-individual in an important sense, or at least trans-individual if individuality is conceived as otherwise than being constituted by subsistent relationality.

Even rocks disintegrate and become something else. I now know that Being and Goodness are transcendentals, synonymous with Metaphysics and Ethics, and are likened as one, according to the Scholastics. Thank you.

    I don't remember the book off the top of my head. But not so long ago I read a moral philosophy book that in the introduction the author was saying how any modern philosophy student should be able to hold their own in a debate with and preceded to list off some of the greatest philosophical minds in history. That book was exactly what I expected from it after reading that. Complete and utter crap.

    You should really let the beginning of the video play for a bit before you start debunking it. Like, the introduction doesnt really need to be debunked, nothing wrong was said. Jordan peterson HAS been talking more about roman catholocism lately. Like, context needs to be given and that all that videos do at the beginning. Let like, 90 to 120 seconds of the video play before you start debunking. Then you can do the debunking after each point 5 second pauses cause it makes sense but like, why are we pausing every half second as wisecrack just introduces who JP is? Like, even if they dont do thr most honest job of portaying who he is, its not like he needs an introduction to anyone in your audience. Wisecrack can say whatever they want about unrelated JP facts, like his fight with the canadian government and his intellectual past. You need to get to the meat. Its a 2 hour breakdown you can afford to let the intro be an intro rather than brutalizing it beyond recognition.

    Do families exist? I saw that in the longer version of this clip you were clear that the church was an exception to this rule about groups and individuals. However, one of the critiques he levies is that liberalism can't make sense of children. I forgot if you got to that, or if he mentioned that in the interview clip.

    I finished watching this, and I've watched a number of other things with Andrew Jones. I think it would be helpful to look at his podcast series on tyranny. If memory serves, his definition is rule by self-interest. He is, I believe, aware of some of the scholastic issues at root in liberalism. I don't think he treats of scholasticism as an unqualified good, or of the medieval scholastic conclusions---later in the interview with Matt Fradd he went on to say that Christendom did this to itself. In general, many of the critiques you have which most landed or seemed to land against this interview clip did not, I believe, do so, not against the more robust articulations of his thought. Finally, I don't think it matters what liberal philosophy states if what it states is contrary to our experience of liberalism. He is critiquing what is happening now and, while his claims tend to be more structural than material, they are grounded in and persuasive because they are very descriptive of what is going on in the current liberal orders.

  • @benabaxter

    Andrew Jones makes the case elsewhere that when the Magisterium speaks of liberalism, it means capitalism. This is to my mind a plausible read of Rerum Novarum.
