Epistemology

[villanity]

duuuuudeeeeeeeeeeee

[fonoflux1]

WOW! So good! I'm just happened upon this video while in my own personal studies of epistemology. I also happen to be a long time Junglist.You can imagine how pleased I was to find this video. :) Keep up the good work.

[hawkerhooker47]

I wants to buying this song. Is much amazingness in breaks and ambience. Quotes is much goods too.

[hawkerhooker47]

I can't get this song outta my head. Saw it on a friend's FB post earlier, and I am hooked. Absolutely jaw-droppingly awesome shit.

this makes sense but at the same time mans reality is just made of organs and biological senses...a dog has a different ear structure therefore he can hear different frequencies those sounds are the dogs reality but our senses lie there just organs there is different realities beyond that of physical attributes ..our existence is to gain that knowledge but thats not the reality in were we stand its spectral ...human reality is based on a 3rd person perspective and between society.the human race

[TheTheKRIT]

@chaosmateria Yes but our organs are just a perception of your mind as well. your organs are also just created of atoms and empty space like a rock so how is it that your organs are "living"? It cannot be explained. Consciousness creates the brain and everything around it not the other way around. you have to be conscious in order to see that you ahve a brain or organs of any sort. if what we see is only in our minds then our brain is also just a perception created by our minds.

[wakeup068]

[1noen1]

Ayn Rand cultist shit. Rand got all wet for a child murdering sociopath.

[amronline247]

I am taking a philosophy class and my brain hurts. lol

[music4all92]

dang nice music

[haolekillah]

knowledge is a dance party ya'll!!!!

[gjsterp]

Thank you for directing me to Ayn Rand.

I found her site with a lot of audio and some video.

I have been meaning to read Atlas, and I may start tonight.

Nice music score too.

[DakinShaman]

Try reading a real philosophy book.

[gjsterp]

Dakin...:

You need to be more specific.

[lovesu3]

haha Have a song!!!

[yarrw]

Sounds like ancient Greek philosophy. 'I think, therefore I am'. Are we also going back to the 4 basic elements? Earth water fire and air.

[Kkosta]

Cogito ergo sum is from Rene Deascartes (17th century). And i dont really know why are you mentioned some 4 elements. It have nothing to do with this video.

This vieo have nothing to do with Greek philosophy at all. Epistemology is part of the philosophy from 19th century. Cogitation like this is more from this century than any other. And i really use to like it.

[sgmarshall]

I think what confused them is the Newage (pronounced like sewage) presentation. epistemology and formal logic should be taught, but this comes across more like someone read Epistemolgy for Dummies.

Klarster

Thanks for putting this up on youtube. I think it is awsome. Where did you get the audio from? Where can I find the whole interview with Ayn Rand?

Thanks

The purpose of life is to live. And to live a pleasurable life, not a painful one. Nothing could be more simple.

[deadbutmoving]

This video is useless because everyone already does what makes them happy. By telling the audience to do what makes them happy, It implies that there are people who don't already do what makes them happy.

I would argue that everything a person does was intended to bring them joy. And if someone ever did something that made them not happy it is due to misjudgment.

There is no person who does something without the intent of making themselves happy.

ALL ACTIONS ARE SELFISH

[Kkosta]

This is not about what makes people happy but, that they should be. Not every person realize that they should.

Dont think that everything i do bring me joy. But everything i do could bring me joy, if i find it in it. And of course there is possibility that nothing i do bring me joy. Joy is only a state of mind. Its more result than purpose.

I do many thinks like that, because i must or i have to. I have responsibility for someone, something for myself.

[ScottJanssen]

All actions are selfish, which is the right thing to do. However, how some people pursue pleasure can hurt another. When mental illness runs rampant in a society as it does in many parts of the world, including America, we then hurt each other to gain resolution (pleasure).

[deadbutmoving]

The fallacy of this video is the assumption that family and pacifism is how people find happiness. It implies a definition of happiness as shown by the pictures, and then refutes these same pictures when it proclaims that happiness is different for each person.

It would be more objective and accurate if this video did not show the authors bias as to what happiness should be.

[Kkosta]

Author shows what makes him happy or what he think makes people happy. If to somebody else makes happy something else, he could not know what, because he have no experience whit it. He cant talk about he dont know.

Sry for my english. :)

[AndyBJ]

This is a great Vid. Excellent work on the production of the music, I thought the drum and bass was a little heavy at first, but througout you balence it with good break downs and timing of the vocals.

Is there any chance of getting an MP3 copy for my Ipod???

Cheers

"Man's only means of knowledge is his mind"

Means? I would think that your eyes are part of the means of learning things you read and see. Your ears are part of the means of knowing about things you hear. Obviously, if you are brain dead you have trouble knowing anything. But the videos statement just seems too "cut and dried" and ignores many of the "means" by which we collect information and knowledge.

[CorndogMaker]

picky. it is cut and dried, but it is meant to be a convenient sound bite. You expect it to be that specific? anyway, eyes an ears have no way of interpreting their stimuli and need a mind to work at all. There are actually trillions of chemical electrical signals that are also a "means of knowledge" Should those be mentioned also?

[Matur1n]

"Should those be mentioned also? "

You wouldn't need to mention them at all if you weren't insisting the mind was one's only means of knowledge.

[CorndogMaker]

maybe you're confusing mind with brain.

[jwoodswce]

Matur1n,

"[Man's] senses do not provide him with automatic knowledge in separate snatches independent of context, but only with the material of knowledge, which his mind must learn to integrate...the evidence they give him is an absolute, but his mind must learn to understand it, his mind must discover the nature, the causes, the full context of his sensory material, his mind must identify the things that he perceives." [A. Rand, For the New Intellectual, p. 156.]

[ImAlwaysR1ght]

Great vid

~catbread

[Klarkster]

Hey Thx Catbread, glad you like!

[Klarkster]

thx pdoeman.

In reply I would say that you need to find happiness within the framework of reality.

If there is only one reality, you can't opt out of it. I guess if you do one is being delusional.

If you try to, the problem will still remain, plus you've adopted an irrational way of dealing with the world and it's problems.

It's true that life isn't a cakewalk. There's no guarantee that you can achieve happiness.

[dankwilliams]

nice!!

[pdoeman]

Great vid and proper choon!I haven't heard a decent bit of DnB for ages.

My only criticism is of the philosopy: What if an aspect of reality makes you unhappy? Should you avoid it and construct an alternative which appears to make you happy?

[jwoodswce]

P,

"Happiness is not the satisfaction of whatever irrational wishes you might blindly attempt to indulge. Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer." [Ibid., p. 132]

[Jazzper79]

pdoeman

You do not want to deal with people or things that make you unhappy, that makes no sense. You have to give a specific example, to get a straight answer.
