Homo Modernus, Tractatus Philosophicus

[tairanotomomori]

Brilliant. Some really clever people out there. Thank you for sharing this.

[urethane22]

the fuck is this? you shut in nerd fucks should get outside somtime and get laid.

[phosphorescence]

It's obvious for me that through this video I've learned that someone has mastered the mind of the human being, took one's passions and prides and threw their words into it, or perhaps altered our words just as our religious text and dictionary changes in meaning everyday. Don't be a fool to an ever changing system of communication, and find true meaning elsewhere, anywhere else but with the risk of words, anywhere without the absence of true people/souls. this video is a light for the lost.

[The5ingularity]

Uhhh..... I'm at once both massively confused and uncomfortably scared. Could someone please explain this video in more simple and friendly terms? What are the numbers about? Are they supposed to be software updates? Is this intentionally vague and arty or am I just missing the message?

[phosphorescence]

@The5ingularity a great collage of thoughts. coming from me: If no one knows where it all began, how can we know we chose this for ourselves? words are meant to communicate, not manipulate, try it this way: If you feel scared it's probably because there is a small portion of homo modernus characteristics. Life must feed on life in this world, when you think of it it truly isn't you, that's all that matters, don't believe everything you hear, see yourself before everything; truth > whats told.

After lurking 4chan and 420chan for a long time then "SO KISS ME GOODBYE, HONEY I'M GONNA MAKE IT OUT ALIVE"

[xMasterJuiceX]

28 viewers, i am truly sorry

[bohemiandonut]

Well thought out and provocative, but what is your prescription?

Heal mankind

[Tyrkul]

not all is true

[charlesfrith]

I've blogged this on my same name as me domain dot com m I hope it disseminates an original thinker.

[Diabl0Pabl0]

I'm still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or bad?

[lustbydust]

What is a homo modernus cna someone explain please

[shivagrid]

I enjoyed this video, really got me thinking.

I'm not much for philosophy as it seems to define itself, but, and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems as though in defining the HM, it becomes contrasted against what it is not.

The fact that there is a "not" gives hope, no?

In addition, it seems like the HM is somewhat relative to humans and culture?

And in this scope, everything used to define the HM was defined somewhere else.

It seems kind of like stating the obvious?

[KearneySWG]

Das Video ging mir zu schnell auf den Keks...

[hipp6y]

this is very accurate, and because of that very scary. but maybe there's still hope...

[alphaguitar2]

A lot of good points are made, but I can simplify everything for myself.

Feeling > Over-Thinking.

[DaRobii]

I'm german so I didn't understand quite everything but enough to tell that its a great video!

[peskytangent]

lol wtf am I watching

[Crazyman1569]

What?

[1TheSocraticMethod1]

Hmmmmm... this is a very interesting position/philosophy. Heavy Continental influence, eh. Have you read Adorno and Horkheimer? Marcuse? I'm curious, by whom do you feel you are most influenced?

If I may, I have another question: I would love to hear the positive project of your philosophy. You have expressed a fascinating critical theory here; what do you think man must/should do to regain his freedom?

Thanks for the video! Good luck! :)

[Homomodernus]

@1TheSocraticMethod1 Thank you so much for your comment. I'd say my main influence is aesthetics more than philosophy, but I do admire clean cut logc as a way of conveying ideas, and perhaps music which is the basis for poetry. As for the positive side... well... I'd have to think about that. Thanks again for your stimulating questions. Maybe that is the only positive side of the data deluge: not to get caught in 'communication' and engage in dialogue. Claudio Molinari Dassatti

[1TheSocraticMethod1]

@Homomodernus Thanks for your response! If you are interested in aesthetics, you should definitely give Theodor W. Adorno a read.

Here are a few resources you might find interesting:

plato.stanford.edu/entries/ado rno/ (by way of introduction)

The Culture Industry: Selected Essays on Mass Culture, ed. J. M. Bernstein, London: Routledge, 1991.

Essays on Music: Theodor W. Adorno, ed. R. D. Leppert, trans. S. H. Gillespie et al., Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002.

Best,

SM.

[Homomodernus]

@1TheSocraticMethod1 I surely will, SM. Adorno seems to pop up around me time and again. What is it that you do?

C.

[1TheSocraticMethod1]

@Homomodernus I'm an undergraduate philosophy student right now. I'm applying for my M.A. and hope eventually to complete my Ph.D. How about yourself? Are you in academia?

SM.

[PatatatangaG]

One of the best videos I have ever seen on Youtube. Good job.

[Waranoa]

Awesome video. Please continue.

[Homomodernus]

it seems like you are spending FAR TOO MUCH TIME on something you do not like... drop it man! It´s fine, we get it, and you made your point (by offensive repetition)... but you could have made it in a more polite and constructive manner.

With all our respect.

I + C. 

[unpezvivo]

I might be not modernus. I already know what Universe is.

Brilliant thoughs and staging.

[HIZER72]

[Homomodernus]

@HIZER72

zzz

[icutad2]

Shit sucks

- a summary

[Homomodernus]

@icutad2

Criticism should come in words with more than one syllable.

But thank your insight.

C.

[icutad2]

@Homomodernus It wasn't a criticism. It was a summary, which I remember writing for some reason.

[alecoliverdonovan1]

AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!!!

[HIZER72]

gay 

[Homomodernus]

@HIZER72

Would you mind elaborating on this concept?

[HIZER72]

@Homomodernus ur shit is gay and i hate it i lost my time watching ur ugly gay shit ur just a homomosexual

[Homomodernus]

@HIZER72

Dear HIZER72, you are being:

1. really homofobic

2. absolutely wrong as we the creators, are both heteros, (do you know what hetero means?)

3. a bit insulting (which is not really needed)

NOTE: you know, this is like TV, don´t like it, switch to another channel, do not waste your time with matters that obviously scape your nanobrain.

Thanks anyway for showing an interest on the piece.

[pattycarabelli]

Muy bueno! I certainly enjoyed it; as you wished...thanks!

[Homomodernus]

@pattycarabelli

Thanks un montón.

[Albalic]

Steve Jobs is god!

Buen trabajo amigo ! Suerte en el concurso!

[TheStrongweak]

the person who made this needs a holiday.

[Homomodernus]

@TheStrongweak

We sure do.

But I also think that many of us feel this sort of estrangement.

C.

[mountainghost556]

It is funny how you used a computer to convey your insights ,guess you just fell in line with the rest of us  Homo Moderndumbass and yes it is a HE as you so Candidly pointed out .Remember that ,when things revert back to a mans world.Other than that good vid

[Homomodernus]

@mountainghost556

Thank you for your kuddos.

I should point out though that the political gender thing never ocurred to us.

This would make a great T-shirt.

The Homo Modernus

does not perform vital functions,

his vitality

is a function of Modernity

[G1itchy]

Please refrain from abusing terms like Stakhanovist until you can at least use the word loop in a sentence without embarrassing yourself.

[Homomodernus]

@G1itchy

We are sorry about having hurt your spelling feelings.

Maybe you would prefer to read the spanish version.

[guydmann]

this was a triumph

[endhai]

"HAL's girlfriend" is the american synthetic voice of an apple computer. She's called Nancy :-)

This video is art. And it is true.

Thank you for this.

[Homomodernus]

@endhai

So nice to receive this boost of a comment.

Iñigo is a HAL fan.

I'm more into the blue pill.

Thank you again.

[pfau1983]

Horribly trapped!

[Homomodernus]

@pfau1983

Many considered the HM depressing. Did you?

C.

[Homomodernus]

@pfau1983

Not if your trapped with a few million more HM's.

C.

[emel022151]

Whoa. I need a burger and some fries.

[NaturalHighPengu]

Our evey comment might be a rapproachment to the kind of Homo Modernus we pretend we don't want to be.

Nevertheless, I can't stop myself from saying how right this sounds to me.

Trapped in the "self-reflekting loop".

[vodkaweiser]

frighteningly conclusive

[kotap0]

This could be HALs girlfriend expressing her perception :)

Very well done.

[zellhof]

incredibly brilliant, indeed.

spread the word for it is sad, but true.

[nuclearpsyche]

this is genius

[rubycarat]

Wow. I don't want to be a Homo Modernus, but I think maybe I am. WAAAAAA.........

[Homomodernus]

@rubycarat

Me too...!!!!!
