Skinner vs. Heinlein: My Freshman Year Philosophy Project

[Abignalessuccessor]

If I could make a society, Heinlein would be my biggest influence, not because of the excessive militarism, but because in his book he made a functional one-world government that greedy individuals would be to scared to attempt corrupt.

i like that movie its pretty cool :D

[DocJargon]

One Heinlein quote, then editorialization, neglecting the body of work that provides context. Heinlein pointed up the necessity and the nature of a military, but did not say that war was the only way of dealing with issues, and certainly not the best way. This video is an apples v. oranges comparison of a psychologist and a filmmaker. My grade: C-.

@DocJargon

Heinlein was not a filmmaker

[CliffVlogs]

@help4343

Heinlein consulted on the set of "Destination Moon" which was based on his screenplay, and that qualifies him as a filmmaker. But I think Doc maybe was contrasting Skinner with Verhoeven?

[BullshidoVideos]

So, what conclusion did you actually draw here?

[Queltehue]

I think there is very much potential in this project. Congratulations.

[davilajl]

Cool video man. Music works for sure.

[LuciusHaterius]

Excellent questions to think upon.

Great video.

In almost every Sci-Fi movie mankind is united because of an outer enemy. That is the whole idea behind the Starship Troopers movie.

[TheKingofnoob]

Oh btw. I forgot to ask.

What did your philosophy class like it?

[HazMatMedia]

It blew the whole class away. It went far better than I expected. :D

[LordCook95]

Nice. Few minor spelling errors ;). Mostly however it felt as if you had chopped and changed with the music a little, as though it was on repeat? It just felt strangely disconcerting throughout.

[HazMatMedia]

Yes, I had to chop and repeat the music a bit to make room for all of the slides.

[Xzrosh]

Another Amazing Video my friend. I agree woth TheKing. This definatly got me thinking...

[HazMatMedia]

Thanks mate, I'm glad you liked it. :)

[TheKingofnoob]

It's pretty awesome.

You brought up couple really interesting ideas which couple i though through rather carefully.

And the editing is rather superb. Just tiny problem...

Reqiuem for a dream? Seriously? That's like most overused epic songs ever! Otherwise, it rocks.

[HazMatMedia]

Thanks for the compliments. :) As I mentioned in the description, I know how overused Reqium is, it gets on my nerves too. But I felt it really fit what I was trying to convey, and thankfully my Philosophy class didn't know how overdone this song is.

[mikiroony]

absolutely. It's like there's no other song to use! GOSH, I turn to volume down everytime, now.
