Plato believed that material objects were not, as democritus said, composed of atoms, but could be divided indefinitely, and that light was emitted by the eyes and that we see objects when that object is struck by our light. So to say all philosophy since him is a footnote, I can't quite decide if that is more or less pathetic than depicting Nietzsche as a nazi. It's on the level of the patent attorney general who resigned in 1895 because he felt that everything that COULD be invented HAD been.
@medexamtoolsdotcom Whitehead didn't actually mean that all philosophers believed in Plato's theories, rather that given the wide range of philosophical topics Plato introduced and dealt most works can in someway be considered a 'footnote' of it. Honest mistake though, I used to think the same thing. His full quote explains it better.

Calling Nietzche a nazi is false, but neither was he a great man. Still funny video which I think people are too busy nit picking rather than just enjoying it.
If anyone thinks that Nietzsche's philosophies don't mainline directly into Nazi 'ubermensch' doctrine, then they have an argument with the famous philosopher Bertrand Russell - who assessed Nietzsche (and his philosophy) thus: "... power fantasies of an invalid..." & also regarded him as a "megalomaniac". If that's not enough, how about the fact that Nietzsche attempted to claim descent from Polish nobility?
Of course, those who love Nietzsche always say "His sister... his sister.."
a lot of people defending Nietzsche against the Nazism connection seem to be ignoring the fact that he was a hate-filled, megalomaniacal lunatic whose who had very little respect for the kind of people who would waste their time commenting on youtube videos.

This was a terrible video for a lot of reasons already mentioned, but allow me to bring another problem to the surface. How can you include heraclitus without Parmenides!? Parmenides had more affect on Plato than Heraclitus, and so it is easily arguable that Parmenides is the second-most influential Pre-Socratic Philosopher of all time, next to Thales.

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate than the word "gay".
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with complete support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

Philosophy if very interesting and in some cases, even fun. But that is all it's good for, just mild entertainment. Science and the natural world is far more fascinating and fun. IMO, philosophy is for those that can’t handle math and science..
@Flipstick96 You obviously know nothing about Philosophy. Its object of investigation is totally different from that of Natural Sciences, so why compare them? Philosophers deal with the conditions of possibility of knowledge; while scientists mostly deal just with the uncritical accumulation of knowledge, not worrying with the natural limitations of human condition in the process. They're obviously complementary one to another, but Philosophy is IMO (hehe) a more sincere quest for truth.
@Henrogonzo - You're not kidding when you said "Its object of investigation is totally different from that of Natural Sciences", that much is obvious. You know, I have met lots of people that read philosophy, old and new age stuff. And all these people have one thing in common; they have trouble thinking for them selves; you know the type, always following, never leading. Philosophy is great for the sheep-like, simple-minded people. The rest of us use math, science, logic, and common sense.
@Flipstick96 Well, maybe YOU are not skilled enough to understand Philosophy properly. Or maybe (I insist) you just have a very vague idea of what philosophers actually study (That's what you show us when you mention "new age stuff". Do you think that's the kind of Philosophy they teach in the Universities?). Besides, I think this stereotype of the alienated researcher who blindly lets somebody else conducts him is much more common among scientists then among philosophers.
@Henrogonzo - Except for maybe gaining an appreciation for a framework of ethical and moral considerations used to address societal quandaries, Philosophy is otherwise totally useless. If you were to get a degree in philosophy what can you do with it other than teach philosophy or learn more philosophy. It’s non trade based education and can maybe be useful to achieve a well rounded education, but only for those people that fell they need it.
@Flipstick96 I believe what you are implying here is like saying that if a discipline does not generate viable results of practical usage to man or society, then that discipline is useless. In this case i cannot help but not agree. That is simply not what knowledge is about. On a sidenote, one of the contributions of philosophy is that nothing is to be taken for granted and that facts could only be established through careful study. This forms the basis of science's empirical approach
I get what you were trying to do here, but it wasn't really funny, and you kept tripping over your own lyrics. I'm going to have to give this one a thumbs down :\
@Shadow9392 I wasn't trying to play up the importance of my thumbs, they are after all 2 of 432 now, I was simply voicing my regret that I have to give this video a bad rating. The idea is a good one, he just failed to make it work.
It is possible to be funny about philosophy - Aristophanes did it, Shakespeare did it, Monty Python did it, many others have done it. But this "freshman who made a C in Phil 101" level lyric that scans like a poor Schoolhouse Rock imitation is unfunny, uninformative, and unskilled.
@Waranoa It's cynical of how he was adopted as a Nazi image. Nietzshe was not pro Nazi in any way, the song is making fun of were his philosophies led.
@Countrygent100 Ok, let me indulge you then. National socialism is a political position. Nietzsche did not discuss political theory and based on what he said he was as far removed from nationalism and totalitarianism (in case you are only refering to Hitler) as you can get. Secondly, his view of the übermensch was based on (the development of) mental ability, not genetic background. To Nietzsche, a jewish, black or gay person might become an übermensch.
Why so Serious? If you read comments here, it seems that most philosophers are rather humorless creatures. If you want accuracy and rigor, read a book or use google-scholar (although chances are you'll find a lot of unkind and incorrect comments on Nietzsche there too!). Lighten up...
This little film/song is simply very well done! Bravo!
Nietzsche hated people like the nazi's and spoke against their sort of prejudice. Before speaking on what his philosophies led to, how about you actually do some research on it? When Nietzsche went insane his sister, who was a nazi sympathizer, took advantage of him and edited much of his work and published it under his name.
"Bet you can't summarize Betrand Russell's popular intro to western thought in under 4 minutes" And you didn't, most of what's said is taken out of context and ignorant.
honestly i really don't see the point of attempting to answer these questions without the understanding of the universe. So my point is? learn math and discover as much as you can because we have a shit storm long way to go before even thinking about answering those big questions.
@obiwanobiwan13 Nietzsche is convoluted and bastardized, but not difficult in the same sense as any systematic philosopher. The difficulty with Nietzsche is penetrating the fog of bad translation, murky conceptualization, and lack of rigour.
The best and most complete philosophy is actually contained within the ancient Vedic scriptures, like the Bhagavad Gita or The Upanishads. They are the spiritual literature of the ancient Indian culture and consist of a huge collection of books written in Sanskrit that includes material (mundane), religious (ritualistic), and spiritual(monotheistic) knowledge. The word "Vedic" is derived from the Sanskrit word veda, meaning knowledge or revelation. Some are Free at user/devarsi
its is not nietzsche's fault because he exclusively said he was against nationalism and when he said superman he meant some1 who has a perfect soul that can overcome all problems and not b e affected by problems life throws at he or she
Actually, I think the song was simply pointing out that Nietzsche would have claimed to have been misunderstood, but the Nazis were motivated by and used his work to their own ends.
This is amazing! I especially like the renaissance italy bit! Still, poor Nietzsche :( I rather like him, and it really wasn't his fault Emily edited his work and disfigured it for Hitler, but it does sum up Russell's account of it!
Western thinking has traveled on the path of dualism since at least before Pythagoras and Socrates. Dualism says that spirit is different from matter, heaven is elsewhere than here, you are separate from me and death is the end of life.
The competing theory is Unity, which says that spirit and matter are two sides of the same coin, heaven is the reflection of spirit in this world, you and I share energy at a fundamental level and death is only a different aspect of life.
the tune is quite fun, but what the lyrics say have absolutely nothing to do with the history of western philosophy. descartes is presented as some sort of skeptical, nietzsche as a proto-nazi. and how does one get to nietzsche via hegel? he was much more into schopenhauer, the number one opposer of hegel's conception of the world and of history as a rational, dialectical movement.
wow, what a stupid video. Just went from the Arabians to actual time. What about Averrois, St. Augustin, St. Thomas Aquinas? They weren't just plainly idiots. St. Thomas Aquinas philosophy shows a lot of things more correctly it happenned to be in the past...
Directly opposite to Nazism, who model the state as authorotarian, legalistic and oppressive, Nietazhe professes individual emancipation.
His sister, Elisabeth, however, was affiliated with the Nazi part, something they would go on to disagree with until Nietzsche WENT COMPLETELY BATSHIT INSANE, from the syphilis he contracted as a student. His sister distorted his views and released them in The Will to Power posthumously.
The people who created the bomb have some responsibility. The government and president who ordered it dropped have more. The pilots also have responsibility. "I was following orders" is not an excuse.
You're an idiot. Only soldiers deserve to analyze the mentality of a soldier who's been given an order like that (and it's not hard to guess that you're not). Mjhavok's critique is better, though not perfect. As neither a soldier nor someone who alive in World War II I'm leaving such analyses to people better qualified then I. so the opinion I will give is, nice video Karpagam12.
Only psychologists can analyze the mentality of a person, not soldiers. Who do you think designed the techiques of depersonalization and the obedience to authority? They are using textbook techniques (and many others) to eradicate all the free will as possible and make them kill without feeling any remorse.
If you want to learn more, research about the Milgram Experiment.
ahh i do hate conspiracists. if you'll notice, i didn't say can, i said DESERVE. psycholgy is overanalitical. humans have genralities, but there are no laws that govern us. the best way to be able to analyze people is to either be born with a natural accuteness, or educate yourself through experience. unfortunately, television over generalizes people so that most people believe they are good at reading others when in reality they're terrible at it. feel free to respond, i enjoy a good debate
By the way, I don't see anywhere any sign of conspirational theory here.
I repeat, what I said are facts, not theories or opinions. If you ask to the training officers in the military will acknowledge with what I am saying.
And, now responding to your personal hypothesis that "there are no laws that govern us".
Hah, let me tell you my friend, if you knew what I know, you would get very depressed. I am also a magician, an euphemism for "I manipulate people for their own entertainment". I assure you the behavior of the human kind is really easy to predict if you know what to see.
and the last and final post: you might be wondering why I said that you would get depressed if you knew what I know.
The reason is that like in magic, the mystery of the trick dignifies it, awes and entertains. Knowing the secrets of the trick, it becomes vulgar and boring.
Knowing the secrets of human behavior can have that effect as well, it happens to me now.
But as a magician, even if the trick doesn't appeal to me, I use it to amuse other people.
bravo now you present a decent and vexing problem. in response i would say that soldiers made their choice before they enlisted. they chose to give away their free will, in essense retaining it to some degree (for as much sense as that makes). in all fairness i have not yet searched the Milgram Experiment yet though I will do so.
Yup, you are right about choosing to lose the power of choice (freedom) by enlisting, and that is what I insinuated before by saying: "Any morality you have against killing has to be left outside the barracks".
Even if you have joined you are free to do whatever you want in your free time. But under orders, you should become the most efficient pawn. Under orders, your freedom is restricted only to the purpose of fulfilling the mission.
now in response to the second part i would ask whether you can always fool other magicians. They must also be included into the metaphor to be fair. You see, even if you can fool the majority of people, you are not able to manipulate all of them. Why? because they're outside your boundaries of control.
and now my final post: you say that you are starting to know the secrets of people so well that they are starting to become vulgar and boring. ironically, telling someone that likely will have the same effect in reverse. you will likely (emphasis on likely) come across as arrogant and egotistical (hint hint) leading to them likely finding you vulgar and boring. however, i will agree with you on the whole about the trick being secret. mysterious and interesting are frequently interchangable.
About your last part. It is ridiculous that someone like you who reasons only with conjectures can call me an arrogant, when I am actually stating with scientific proof (and declassified military documents, if you want).
You are just playing with logic and rhetoric... this level of debate is so typical of 18-21 years old guys.
You should read a little more about epistemology, you would love it.
yawn, losing interest. there's no point in arguing with anyone who cant deal with their own vices (and insecurities you attempt to hide with intellect). its impossible to make any progress because they're too stubborn. I genuinely thank you for the interesting exercise in wit, and I hope you someday appreciate how beautifully unique and unpredictable people are. Until then, we'll have to agree to disagree. have a good one.
Well, you are the one who isn't capable listen and think rationally, submerging in his own proud ignorance. You have been making Argumentum Ad Ignorantiam fallacies all this time, that's something you should think about.
Let me tell you something to close this discussion: I literally read people for a living, and I am not talking about magic this time.
Therefore I agree with you that it is pointless to further continue this conversation.
Was Nietzsche responsible for what followed from his work.
Yes.
No.
Depends on what SORT of responsibility you mean.
LOGICALLY speaking... yes, as much as I love and admire Nietzsche's works (he's my favorite philosopher... and I'm a born Jew) by sheer virtue of the fact that he created the ideas that were distorted into Nazism (at least some of the ideas) and logically it takes a creator of ideas to distort said ideas in the first place...
Well, first, as Nietzsche launched perhaps the greatest attack on general morality and especially Judeo-Christian morality the world's ever seen, to even try and defend him with those ideas is...
STILL...
Since his ACTUAL ideas, while allowing for the loopholes that were exploited, WERE intended to reach an opposite conclusion than Nazism...
NO, if we take moral/ethical meaning to be INTENT OF ACTIONS, and he didn't INTEND that to happen...
He DID leave off 20th century thinkers like Sartre and Wittgenstien...
And I think that Nietzsche's ideas, while they DIDN'T lead to much good with Hitler, CAN lead to great good... I really like the idea of the Ubermench... not without its logical and ehtical flaws, but it's got such a great potential... I hope Hitler hasn't scared eveyone off it forever...
Well, nothing IS innately valuable, value is what you make of it, isn't it? I mean, those Judeo-Christian values and the corresponding morality, their idea of good and evil aren't innately good and evil, right or wrong- it's what you make of those concepts that determines your perspective, and thus your set of values.
And, to be honest- his saying "Hell is other people" makes him valuable enough for me to be here... an awesome comment, and if you'[re going to include Leibnitz, come on...
Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth, created this bad legend. e.g. "The Will to Power" is a fake which was written with reordered notes in order to be in the mind of the Reich.
During his life, Nietzsche really hated antisemitic people.
The Superman isn't a "Master Race" thing, it's getting someone to operate at a hugely refined and intellectual level, like a Shakespeare or an Einstein, only even better, as good as man can get...
it was actually Nietzsche's sister and her husband who had a enormous sympathy for Hitler and his ideas. When Nietzsche died, her sister added whole new paragraphs to his work and made Hitler believe Nietzsche was a huge nazi-fan
You don't have to be pompous or academically pedantic professional philosopher (though I am) to notice, that we're missing middle ages.

Or maybe (I insist) you just have a very vague idea of what philosophers actually study (That's what you show us when you mention "new age stuff". Do you think that's the kind of Philosophy they teach in the Universities?). Besides, I think this stereotype of the alienated researcher who blindly lets somebody else conducts him is much more common among scientists then among philosophers.

@Henrogonzo - Except for maybe gaining an appreciation for a framework of ethical and moral considerations used to address societal quandaries, Philosophy is otherwise totally useless. If you were to get a degree in philosophy what can you do with it other than teach philosophy or learn more philosophy. It’s non trade based education and can maybe be useful to achieve a well rounded education, but only for those people that fell they need it.
Flipstick96 7 months ago
@Flipstick96 I believe what you are implying here is like saying that if a discipline does not generate viable results of practical usage to man or society, then that discipline is useless. In this case i cannot help but not agree. That is simply not what knowledge is about. On a sidenote, one of the contributions of philosophy is that nothing is to be taken for granted and that facts could only be established through careful study. This forms the basis of science's empirical approach

@Countrygent100 Ok, let me indulge you then. National socialism is a political position. Nietzsche did not discuss political theory and based on what he said he was as far removed from nationalism and totalitarianism (in case you are only refering to Hitler) as you can get. Secondly, his view of the übermensch was based on (the development of) mental ability, not genetic background. To Nietzsche, a jewish, black or gay person might become an übermensch.

Nietzsche hated people like the nazi's and spoke against their sort of prejudice. Before speaking on what his philosophies led to, how about you actually do some research on it? When Nietzsche went insane his sister, who was a nazi sympathizer, took advantage of him and edited much of his work and published it under his name.

The best and most complete philosophy is actually contained within the ancient Vedic scriptures, like the Bhagavad Gita or The Upanishads. They are the spiritual literature of the ancient Indian culture and consist of a huge collection of books written in Sanskrit that includes material (mundane), religious (ritualistic), and spiritual(monotheistic) knowledge. The word "Vedic" is derived from the Sanskrit word veda, meaning knowledge or revelation. Some are Free at user/devarsi

Western thinking has traveled on the path of dualism since at least before Pythagoras and Socrates. Dualism says that spirit is different from matter, heaven is elsewhere than here, you are separate from me and death is the end of life.
The competing theory is Unity, which says that spirit and matter are two sides of the same coin, heaven is the reflection of spirit in this world, you and I share energy at a fundamental level and death is only a different aspect of life.

let me clarify the Nietzsche misconception.
Directly opposite to Nazism, who model the state as authorotarian, legalistic and oppressive, Nietazhe professes individual emancipation.
His sister, Elisabeth, however, was affiliated with the Nazi part, something they would go on to disagree with until Nietzsche WENT COMPLETELY BATSHIT INSANE, from the syphilis he contracted as a student. His sister distorted his views and released them in The Will to Power posthumously.

Orders are orders in the military.

They are trained to kill. No more, no less.
Any morality you have against killing has to be left outside the barracks, otherwise you go insane.

Only psychologists can analyze the mentality of a person, not soldiers. Who do you think designed the techiques of depersonalization and the obedience to authority? They are using textbook techniques (and many others) to eradicate all the free will as possible and make them kill without feeling any remorse.
If you want to learn more, research about the Milgram Experiment.

ahh i do hate conspiracists. if you'll notice, i didn't say can, i said DESERVE. psycholgy is overanalitical. humans have genralities, but there are no laws that govern us. the best way to be able to analyze people is to either be born with a natural accuteness, or educate yourself through experience. unfortunately, television over generalizes people so that most people believe they are good at reading others when in reality they're terrible at it. feel free to respond, i enjoy a good debate
hardcoregenius 1 year ago
Oh, no it is not overanalytical. You are confusing psychoanalysis (purely theoretical branch) with psychology (the whole discipline).
Psychology is becoming more and more empirical, currently the most recent branch is called neuropsychology.
If you think I learned psychology watching Lie To Me, you are underestimating me too much.
By the way, you didn't even bother to search about the Milgram Experiment, do you? You would find it very interesting.

And, now responding to your personal hypothesis that "there are no laws that govern us".
Hah, let me tell you my friend, if you knew what I know, you would get very depressed. I am also a magician, an euphemism for "I manipulate people for their own entertainment". I assure you the behavior of the human kind is really easy to predict if you know what to see.
quelorepario 1 year ago
and the last and final post: you might be wondering why I said that you would get depressed if you knew what I know.
The reason is that like in magic, the mystery of the trick dignifies it, awes and entertains. Knowing the secrets of the trick, it becomes vulgar and boring.
Knowing the secrets of human behavior can have that effect as well, it happens to me now.
But as a magician, even if the trick doesn't appeal to me, I use it to amuse other people.
The same with psychology, I live to serve.
quelorepario 1 year ago
bravo now you present a decent and vexing problem. in response i would say that soldiers made their choice before they enlisted. they chose to give away their free will, in essense retaining it to some degree (for as much sense as that makes). in all fairness i have not yet searched the Milgram Experiment yet though I will do so.

Yup, you are right about choosing to lose the power of choice (freedom) by enlisting, and that is what I insinuated before by saying: "Any morality you have against killing has to be left outside the barracks".
Even if you have joined you are free to do whatever you want in your free time. But under orders, you should become the most efficient pawn. Under orders, your freedom is restricted only to the purpose of fulfilling the mission.
quelorepario 1 year ago
now in response to the second part i would ask whether you can always fool other magicians. They must also be included into the metaphor to be fair. You see, even if you can fool the majority of people, you are not able to manipulate all of them. Why? because they're outside your boundaries of control.
hardcoregenius 1 year ago
About your second part, I can't see how that is an argument against me.
I mean, you are just restating what I said.
quelorepario 1 year ago
and now my final post: you say that you are starting to know the secrets of people so well that they are starting to become vulgar and boring. ironically, telling someone that likely will have the same effect in reverse. you will likely (emphasis on likely) come across as arrogant and egotistical (hint hint) leading to them likely finding you vulgar and boring. however, i will agree with you on the whole about the trick being secret. mysterious and interesting are frequently interchangable.

Yes.
No.
Depends on what SORT of responsibility you mean.
LOGICALLY speaking... yes, as much as I love and admire Nietzsche's works (he's my favorite philosopher... and I'm a born Jew) by sheer virtue of the fact that he created the ideas that were distorted into Nazism (at least some of the ideas) and logically it takes a creator of ideas to distort said ideas in the first place...
LOGICALLY he created the ideas, so yes.

Since his ACTUAL ideas, while allowing for the loopholes that were exploited, WERE intended to reach an opposite conclusion than Nazism...
