When religion becomes shallow it's no longer truly religion. Many philosophers have warned us of this, of religion being reduced to self-serving functions.

Are You Strong Or Weak? Nietzsche's Philosophy On True Strength (Existentialism). In this podcast we will talk about what truly makes you strong from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the main precursors of existentialism who spoke about Will To Power. Are you truly in control of your life, or are you letting the world control you? Strength isn't just about muscles or toughness—it's about how you face life's challenges. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche believed that true strength lies in your mind, in your will to rise above fear, doubt, and mediocrity. The question is: Are you shaping your destiny? Or are you trapped in a cycle of excuses, letting life just happen to you? In his philosophy, Nietzsche talked about the concept called the Will to Power. This is the drive inside of us that pushes us to survive, do our best, and keep improving. It's about always trying to get better and being true to yourself. It's about overcoming your own challenges and fears. Nietzsche also talked about weakness. He said that weakness is the opposite of strength. Weakness is when people avoid challenges, stay in their comfort zones, and don't try to improve. He didn't like weakness because it stops people from becoming their best selves. In his book Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche explained two ways of thinking: master morality and slave morality. Master morality is the way strong people think. They believe in always trying to get better and becoming the best version of themselves. They don't just accept their problems - they face them and find ways to change their lives for the better. Slave morality is the way weak people think. They feel stuck, and instead of trying to change, they blame their problems on others or on bad luck. Nietzsche called them “slaves” because they don't have the strength to take control of their own lives. So, here's a question for you: Are you the master of your own life, or do you let outside influences control you? Do you feel stuck, or do you want to change and get better? In this video, we're going to talk about Nietzsche's ideas about strength, weakness, and the difference between master and slave thinking. We'll give you some ideas on how you can change and become the master of your own life. Let's get started! 01. Individuality vs. Conformity 02. Self-Overcoming vs. Passive Conformity 03. Pride vs. Victimhood 04. Creative Energy vs. Resentment and Justification 05. Life-Affirmation vs. Life-Denial I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope that this wisdom on will truly make you strong, from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche will be helpful in your life. Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

According to Han, we live in a culture of constant self-exposure and exhibition. And, despite what we think, it makes us flat, banal and powerless!
The story so far: The boys are trapped in an underground movie store run by an anthropomorphic moleman. After a year of insane adventures, they start questioning where they might truly be...Magic mole scrolls and random scrawlings litter the place down here, so we dig through in the hopes of figuring out what Moleman might be hiding. But then the existential dread hits us...and what if we're actually in the afterlife? Like Lost? No...probably more like Jacob's Ladder (1990)! So we pop it in the VCR and ruminate on our lives by discussing our chiropractor experiences, Greg's history with My Girl, our favorite Albert Camus books, and An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge! Get comfy, pop some headphones in, and come get sad with us! If you dig us, why not check out our other podcast Greg's Cryptid Corner?

Superman is the biggest blockbuster of the summer, and yes, there's a little wokie-ness throughout. But, the real issue is the worldview tug-of-war between polytheism and raw humanist-existentialism. Kansas dad and Krypton dad are arguing it out, but really, they're both wrong. Discerning these major motion pictures requires pretty highly-calibrated worldview glasses and an ear for the internal contradictions. But would a 14-year-old kid discern it, or just meld right into it? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Could Supreme Court overturn homosexual marriage ruling?; Answers in Genesis' new Truth Traveler attractions, Anglican Church of Nigeria horrified by lesbian bishop in Wales) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

The boys try and fail to do a police interogation bit, and get meta wit it. Then Dave asks Breht what the shape of the universe is, leading to an extended conversation about cosmology, including whether the universe is infinite or finite, what leading scientists deduce from the curvature of space time, the size of the observable universe, the speed of light, and whether or not our entire universe is actually inside a black hole... Then they explore the psychology of crowds - at sports games, protests, concerts, etc. - before finally launching into a discussion on the philosophy of Existentialism and the question of Free Will.
Today we talk about the early work of Ernst Bloch. Hope as anticipatory consciousness. The darkness of the lived moment. Educated hope vs false hope.
