Podcasts about nietzsche

Sign up for the live Conversations with Tyler recording with Craig Newmark at 92NY! Few living scholars can claim to have shaped how we read Machiavelli as decisively as Harvey Mansfield. His new book, The Rise and Fall of Rational Control, argues that Machiavelli didn't just write about politics—he invented the intellectual machinery of the modern world, starting with the concept of "effectual truth," which Mansfield credits as the seed of modern empiricism. At 93, after 61 years of teaching at Harvard, Mansfield remains cheerfully unimpressed by most of contemporary philosophy, convinced that the great books are self-sustaining, and that irony is what separates serious philosophy from the rest. Tyler and Harvey discuss how Machiavelli's concept of fact was brand new, why his longest chapter is a how-to guide for conspiracy, whether America's 20th-century wars refute the conspiratorial worldview, Trump as a Shakespearean vulgarian who is in some ways more democratic than the rest of us, why Bronze Age Pervert should not be taken as a model for Straussianism, the time he tried to introduce Nietzsche to Quine, why Rawls needed more Locke, what it was like to hear Churchill speak at Margate in 1953, whether great books are still being written, how his students have and haven't changed over 61 years of teaching, the eclipse rather than decline of manliness, and what Aristotle got right about old age and much more.

Disclaimer: this episode is based on my proprietary behavior mapping system. This system is used in conjunction with a discovery conversation I have with an individual. In the case of mapping public figures this is purely an independent analysis and opinion based on publicly available research. See citations below article. Transcript: You’re probably like me in that you’re a very visual person. (see below!) Well, hey there. Welcome back. Let’s talk Elon Musk. But before we do that, let’s talk about behavioral mapping and my book BeCAUSE!. Freud’s Pleasure Principle: Monsters and Unicorns Okay, wait. We have to back up from that and we have to talk about Freud’s pleasure principle. If you are an old fan of this show, you’ve probably heard me say this a bunch of times, but let’s sum it up really quickly. Freud’s pleasure principle is based on the fact that we are binary individuals. We seek pleasure, we avoid pain. Everything and anything we do is broken down into those things. I’ve had a number of episodes on this and the book BeCAUSE! is based on this, but I give the seeking pleasure and the avoiding pain a face. The seeking pleasure is a unicorn and the avoiding pain is a monster. They are neither good nor bad. They are not devils and angels. They simply are. Visualizing Behavior: My New Mapping Software After the book BeCAUSE! came out, I ended up developing patent pending behavioral mapping software. It’s software that allows me to actually map this stuff out. And you’re probably like me in that you’re a very visual person. This episode might be a little bit longer than my self-imposed 10-minute limit, so please bear with me. Paradoxically, when I talk about Elon Musk, I actually want you to not be thinking of him, but to be thinking of you. Every episode of this podcast starts out as an article on Alchemy for Life. This one is no different, and you’ll be able to see the visual mapping on the site if you’d like. You can follow along on there or if you’re listening in your car, you can just visualize based on what I’m telling you. Deconstructing Elon Musk: The Childhood Trauma Most people are familiar with Elon Musk. He’s a rather polarizing person. He’s someone who won’t stop talking about going to Mars and now the moon. He’s someone who created an empire. He owns Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, now X, the Boring Company, and X AI. He’s had some romances. He’s currently not married and he has a lot of children. What most people don’t know is what I actually found out in the map showing why all of this is happening. And again, because audio is literally linear, meaning you talk in a straight line, you stop it. You can’t go into branches and things like that. It’s a little harder in audio to tell you what something on a screen can tell you, but I’ll do the best I can. When he was young, the family dog bit him. It was actually a pretty vicious bite, but he was terrified that the dog was going to be put down. He needed medical attention, but he kept refusing it because he said, “You need to promise you’re not going to put the dog down.” Unfortunately, they put the dog down. And this was a very traumatic thing. And I can imagine for myself, and I’m sure you’re thinking about this, too, that’s a very traumatic thing to have to go through. You blame yourself. You think, well, maybe there’s something I could have done to not have the dog bite me. It’s horrible, horrible feeling. And it’s a feeling of losing something and someone that’s really important to you. You feel like you’re literally responsible for the death of a living creature. and that you have no control. So imagine that. It puts a pretty strong pleasure center. It puts a pretty strong unicorn in place that says, “Hey, follow me and you’ll have more control. You want more control.” Yes, I want more control. As with a lot of things, sometimes you also have the opposite in place. You have a monster that says, “It really feels bad to lose control.” And I’m sure you can understand that. I’m sure there are times in your life when you’ve lost control for some reason and you vowed to never lose that control again. Whether you were placed in a very unfortunate position due to your job or relationship or or even in your childhood The Teenage Existential Crisis when he was a teenager and we all remember just how wonderful and clear thinking we were as teenagers. He read both Shopenhau and Nietzsche. And I’ll tell you that Nichi is actually on my wall among five other people. But it’s not exactly something you would read out loud at like a children’s birthday party. So for him, he deeply regretted reading that stuff because it created in him an existential crisis. And imagine that’s essentially what being a teenager is, is having an existential crisis. You you question life. you’re halfway between being an adult and being a child. So reading that created in him a monster of avoiding the feeling of having existential dread and personal meaninglessness. We all want purpose in our life. Imagine removing that as a teenager. Imagine questioning all of that and saying, “Oh my god, this feels terrible. I I I can’t experience this.” So, conversely, it creates the unicorn that makes it feel really good when you feel purpose and meaning. It’s the same one most of us would have. The Scars of Bullying and Humiliation When he was in school, he was severely bullied and beaten basically to the point of not being recognizable. Some of us were bullied, maybe all of us were bullied. And it tends to shape us sometimes in bad ways and sometimes in good ways. But to compound this, when he came home to his father, his father blamed him for this and made him stand for 2 hours while he bered him and called him a loser. How would you respond to that? How would you psychologically speaking respond to that so that it would never happen to you again? You would have a monster that would be very strong in making sure you avoid humiliation and being vulnerable. And from the bullying, obviously you would have a monster that would say, “I’m never going to be bullied again. Never.” This is probably the first time you’re hearing about a lot of this stuff. Probably what you tend to hear about Elon Musk is his purchase or he makes a decision that you think is chaotic or egotistical. you’ve probably never heard any of this other stuff unless you have read his bio or multiple bios and things like that. Connecting the Trauma to the Billionaire’s Actions So, now that you know the monsters and unicorns that he has in place, what actions did these cause? Well, let’s go through them. If you’re trying to avoid the pain of bullying and the monster keeps getting in the way and saying, “You’re going to be bullied. Don’t do that.” Wouldn’t you be a bit combative on social media? Wouldn’t you make sure that in an interview you’re not going to be bullied? Wouldn’t you make sure that when you are dealing with the feds or other court systems or other CEOs that you would tend not to back down? In fact, maybe even not back down even when it’s to your detriment. If you’re avoiding the pain and fear of scarcity because of what happened with your dog and that you had no control over that, and you’re avoiding the pain of humiliation and especially vulnerability and bullying because of the place you’re in as someone who is almost a trillionaire, would it not affect your approach on forming a family? If you are married and have children, you are in a position of vulnerability. You have more vulnerability right now than someone who, let’s say, doesn’t have children or isn’t married. If you’re in a loving relationship, that’s part for the course. It comes with the territory. It’s something you welcome. But if you combine a fear of scarcity and you’ve developed a sort of pleasure for having absolute sovereignty and control of any and all outcomes and you have a terrible monster that makes it feel horrible. If you are losing control, you would be in a unique position to want to perpetuate the human race, but not in a traditional way that causes vulnerability. which is why he has 14 children across four different women and he is presently not married to any of them. This monster for avoiding pain and the fear of scarcity, working together with this pleasure of having absolute sovereignty and control and this extremely strong unicorn pulling him towards the feeling of purpose and meaning would obviously lead him to the creation of Space X so that he could continue to make the race multilanetary. Oh, and that monster telling him that scarcity feels bad, he helps as well. And guess who’s also looking over his shoulder? The monster that’s avoiding him having the feeling of existential dread and personal meaninglessness. You’re definitely listening to that monster if you are trying to perpetuate the human race on another planet. If you are avoiding losing control and you certainly enjoy the absolute sovereignty of being able to change the outcome and you enjoy the feeling of purpose and meaning and you’re terrified of having existential dread and personal meaninglessness, would you not purchase the most well-known social media platform in your attempt, at least according to you, to save free speech? Mapping Your Own Monsters and Unicorns Whether you’re a fan or not of Elon, whether you’re completely neutral or not, you can’t help but empathize with some of the things I’ve described. And like I said, you’re more likely to think of you than of him in these situations. What would you do? What have you experienced? What emotional turmoil have you gone through? What horrible things have you gone through in your childhood, in your teens, and even in your adult life that have shaped who you are? Those things just don’t go away. They stay with you for life. Your monsters and unicorns sort of show up and they take residence in your brain. If it sounded a little bit like I was all over the map, well, quite literally, I was. I worked through the visual map that I’m looking at right now and it’s the same one you might be looking at or that you will look at after the podcast. I found the research on this fascinating and I did find that things logically led to other things. It the pattern, the map, it all just sort of unveiled itself to me based on what I have created and what I have established. I didn’t run into any dead ends. I didn’t find something that contradicted something else. It all actually made sense. And that’s what led to the writing of BeCAUSE!—it all just continued to make sense and make sense and make sense and sometimes in an unnerving way. Look, I understand we don’t want to be deconstructed. We we we want to feel whole and sometimes thinking about monsters and unicorns and little programmatic psychological building blocks can sometimes be a little bit unnerving, but it can also be revealing. And the beauty of this is that it’s neither good nor bad. Sure, you can have a monster in place that’s doing something that’s really messing up your life, but that same monster might also be helping you in another aspect of your life. It’s about you recognizing it and not allowing it to have the control over your life that you don’t want. And ultimately, you stay in the driver’s seat. Conclusion So, I hope you enjoyed this. I did. I certainly enjoyed mapping all this out and doing the research. In fact, I did this for two other people. It made me reflect on my own monsters and unicorns, and I hope it did the same for you. If you’re indeed curious, feel free to pick up a copy of BeCAUSE!. And if you’re curious about your own map, let me know. The behavioral mapping done, purely as an independent analysis and opinion based on publicly available research. Episode Sources & Citations: The Childhood Bullying & His Father’s Reaction: * Source:Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson (Published September 2023). Context: Isaacson’s authorized biography details the specific incident where Musk was beaten so severely by bullies he was hospitalized for four days. Upon returning home, his father, Errol Musk, made him stand in front of him for two hours, called him a “loser,” and sided with the boy who attacked him. The Teenage Existential Crisis (Schopenhauer and Nietzsche): Source: Multiple interviews, including a notable deep-dive interview detailed in CleanTechnica (2018) and referenced in Isaacson’s biography. Context: Musk has publicly stated multiple times, “We happened to have some books by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer in the house, which you should not read at age 14. It is bad, it’s really negative.” He credits this period of reading with triggering a severe teenage existential crisis, leading to his lifelong obsession with finding “the meaning of life” and “understanding the right questions to ask” (which birthed the Unicorn of seeking purpose). The Dog Bite Trauma: Source: Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson (2023). Context: The biography details the incident where a young Elon was viciously bitten by a dog. He refused medical treatment until he was promised the dog wouldn’t be put down. The adults broke the promise and put the dog down anyway, cementing his early trauma regarding powerlessness, scarcity, and broken trust. Family Structure (14 Children / 4 Women): Source: Forbes Billionaires Profile (Updated March 2026). Context: Forbes officially verifies that Musk, driven by his vocal fears of population collapse, has fathered 14 children with four different women (including multiple sets of twins and triplets) and is currently not married.

In this episode I talked with Dr. Stephen Hicks. Dr. Hicks is a philosophy professor and author. He has taught many classes at Peterson Academy including ones on Logic, Postmodern Philosophy, and Modern Philosophy.  In this conversation we discussed Friedrich Nietzsche's ethical philosophy, why he hated egalitarianism, if he was a narcissist, and why most people in the West operate out of Nietzsche's philosophy without knowing it.

A sympathetic critique that attempts to free Left politics from its own snares, States of Injury: Power and Freedom in Late Modernity (Princeton University Press, 2025) explores how woundedness became a basis for contemporary political identity. Without condemning identity politics, Wendy Brown carefully probes the varied historical forces generating them today and the ways these formative conditions constrain emancipatory desire. Along the way, she advances a novel feminist critical theory of liberalism and the liberal democratic state. She also develops an original theoretical practice that weaves together Nietzsche, Marx, Weber, Foucault, and cultural theories of gender and race to analyze contemporary political predicaments. In a new preface, Brown places States of Injury in political and intellectual context, including the rise of neoliberalism, and addresses the book's renewed relevance in today's political landscape. Wendy Brown is the UPS Foundation Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study. Her books include Nihilistic Times, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, and Undoing the Demos. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Invité: Olivier Dhilly. Lʹétat actuel du monde plonge une partie de la population dans un profond désarroi. La géopolitique, le climat, la démocratie: tout semble en crise. Dʹoù parfois un sentiment de perte de sens, voir dʹabandon. Comment "allumer des lanternes dès le matin", comme lʹécrivait Nietzsche, dans ce monde qui semble de plus en plus sombre? Quels sont les pistes pour garder lʹespoir? Tribu reçoit Olivier Dhilly, professeur de philosophe, qui signe ce livre "À quoi bon? Remèdes philosophiques à la perte de sens", aux éditions Les Léonides.

A pregação parte de uma experiência pessoal de dor para revelar uma realidade universal: muitas vezes vivemos na superficialidade, repetindo respostas religiosas sem enfrentar as perguntas profundas da vida.A partir dessa experiência, surge a grande pergunta: o que realmente sustenta a vida quando tudo treme?O sermão mostra que todo ser humano sente um vazio interior. Mesmo quando conquista coisas importantes, permanece uma sensação de falta. Filósofos como Nietzsche perceberam esse fenômeno ao observar uma cultura que ainda falava de Deus, mas já não vivia diante Dele.O livro de Eclesiastes aborda exatamente essa realidade. Salomão afirma que tudo é “vaidade” (hebel) vapor, algo passageiro e incapaz de sustentar o coração humano quando visto apenas “debaixo do sol”. Contudo, a Bíblia não conduz ao desespero, mas à lucidez espiritual: Deus colocou eternidade no coração do homem (Ec 3:11). Por isso, nada temporário consegue satisfazer plenamente o ser humano.Pensadores cristãos como C. S. Lewis, João Calvino e John Piper ajudam a compreender essa verdade: o vazio humano não é defeito, mas evidência de que fomos criados para algo eterno.Eclesiastes conduz o leitor até o limite da existência o muro da finitude e da morte e aponta para sua conclusão: temer a Deus e guardar seus mandamentos. A vida encontra ordem quando Deus ocupa o lugar central no coração.No entanto, quem atravessa definitivamente esse “muro” é Cristo. Em sua morte e ressurreição, Ele vence aquilo que parecia definitivo. A ressurreição revela que a morte não tem a última palavra e que o sentido da vida não está nas coisas passageiras, mas no relacionamento com Deus.Assim, a aplicação final convida cada pessoa a examinar o próprio coração:onde está o seu tesouro?Porque aquilo que consideramos nosso tesouro é o que governa nossa vida.A conclusão afirma que, sem Cristo, o vazio leva ao niilismo; mas com Cristo, até a brevidade da vida encontra sentido, pois o coração finalmente encontra aquilo para o qual foi criado.VEM COM A GENTE!O vídeo dessa mensagem está disponível também no nosso canal do Youtube: https://youtu.be/8Cm-mUG4AXsPara acompanhar tudo o que está acontecendo no Luzeiro, acesse nosso site! https://somosluzeiro.com.brSe quiser contribuir com a gente, a chave PIX é contato@somosluzeiro.com.br, e os outros dados para contribuições estão disponíveis neste link: https://qrfacil.me/QCl5ZuEZ #somosluzeiro

In this episode, we'll compare Nietzsche's view of causality, habit, and free will to Hume. Although, in substance, they make very similar arguments, we'll explore important differences. Nietzsche arrives at his critique of causality through his attack on free will, and the subsequent understanding of metaphysical beliefs as necessitated by moral beliefs - whereas for Hume, the issue of liberty versus necessity is secondary to the critique of reason's ability to derive necessary connexions. For Hume, habit cannot be further explained, because this would be to ignore our practical affirmation of habit and the insufficiency of reason; Nietzsche wishes to investigate the genealogy of habit as part of his critique of morals. Perhaps most importantly, Hume places his philosophy in "subserviency" to the easy and obvious philosophy of commonsense, whereas Nietzsche sets his philosophy against common sense - and everything "common".

Der Titel der heutigen Episode ist: »Künstliche Vernunft?«, und ich freue mich besonders, dass sich Jan Juhani Steinmann wieder zu einem Gespräch bereit erklärt hat. Wir spannen in dieser Episode einen weiten Bogen von der Frage, was Intelligenz, Bewusstsein und Selbstbewusstsein sind, welche Rolle Biologie, Leib und Körper sowie Theologie spielen können, um dann auf die Frage der künstlichen Intelligenz und Vernunft zu kommen. Was hat es mit der sogenannten Singularität und dem Transhumanismus auf sich, und warum könnte die Bevölkerungsentwicklung des Menschen eine wesentliche Rolle spielen? Am Ende legt Jan seine Vorstellung eines positiven Bildes des Zusammenspiels von Mensch und Technik dar. Dr. Juhani Steinmann ist in Bern geboren, mütterlicherseits Finne, ist Philosoph, Dichter und Theologe. Er hat Philosophie, Allgemeine und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaften, Politikwissenschaften sowie Theologie in Zürich, Berlin, St. Andrews, Heidelberg, Rom und Cambridge studiert. Forschungsaufenthalte wurden in Kopenhagen, Helsinki und Oxford durchgeführt. Unter der Betreuung von Prof. Konrad Paul Liessmann hat er 2021 an der Universität Wien in Philosophie promoviert. Zurzeit forscht er am Institut Catholique de Paris, an der Università di Roma LUMSA sowie an der Faculty of Divinity der University of Cambridge zur poetischen Phänomenologie im Kontext des Denkens von Kierkegaard, Nietzsche und Heidegger. Er ist ferner Begründer des Kollektivs Omnibus Omnia. Nebst wissenschaftlichen Publikationen in Philosophie und Theologie publiziert er auch Dichtung. Besonders möchte ich auch seine Bücher erwähnen, vorzugsweise: »Kritik der künstlichen Vernunft. Vorspiel eines Anathemas« und »Das Vorfaltenlicht. Die Alpen und das Valley«. Diese beiden Werke gehören zusammen, sind wie Geschwister zu betrachten. Das erste ist eine Techniktheologie/-philosophie, das zweite eine Technik- und Naturpoesie, da die Gedichte dazu im Silicon Valley und in den Alpen geschrieben wurden. Vorzugsweise deshalb, weil sie zum Thema des heutigen Gesprächs passen. Wir beginnen das Gespräch mit der Frage nach dem Begriff der Intelligenz. Wie kann man sich diesem Begriff nähern, der ja schon beim Menschen mit vielfältiger Bedeutung überladen ist — und dann wird er auch noch für künstliche Intelligenz verwendet? »Intelligenz ist eine Form der Vermittlung innerhalb von Relationen — also, es werden Dinge in ein Verhältnis zueinander gestellt.« Wie leitet sich daraus (beim Menschen) Selbstbewusstsein und Bewusstsein allgemein ab? »Der Mensch ist ja sicherlich das erste Wesen, das überhaupt eine Definition dieser Eigenschaften, die es an sich selbst bemerkt, geleistet hat. […] Intelligenz erkennt sich selbst durch den Menschen als jenem Wesen, das intelligent ist, oder zu sein scheint.« Was folgt daraus in theologisch/philosophischer Reflexion? Was bedeutet der Begriff Logos und wie steht er in Zusammenhang mit Intelligenz und Bewusstsein? Gibt es einen metaphysisch ur-ontologischen Garanten von Bedeutung? Ist Gott der Garant für die Vernünftigkeit der Vernunft? Oder sind diese Eigenschaften des Menschen schlicht emergente Phänomene, die aus der biologischen Komplexität seiner selbst entspringen? Ist die »künstliche Intelligenz« äquivalent zur menschlichen/biologischen Vernunft? Oder ist dies grundsätzlich zu anthropomorph gedacht? Wie ist der Zusammenhang zwischen diesen philosophisch/theologischen und operationalen Ansätzen der Intelligenz — etwa ausgedrückt durch Intelligenztests und dergleichen? Was bedeutet der Begriff des Geistes? Was sind die verschiedenen Modi der Rationalität, in denen Menschen operieren? Was ist dianoetisches und noetisches Denken? Gibt es eine göttliche — hypernoetische Dimension? Welche Rolle spielen Instinkt und Intuition? Wie nehmen wir Stimmungen wahr? Was hat es mit der Leiblichkeit auf sich? Zu welcher Leistung sind nun Algorithmen und Maschinen fähig? »Maschinen imitieren im Grunde Dianoia — zugleich aber simulieren sie noetische Vernunft« Was ist Behaviorismus, und wie hilft er, die aktuellen Entwicklungen zu verstehen? Ist der Mensch frei? Was bedeutet der Begriff der Freiheit überhaupt, besonders wenn man sich auf die sogenannte Willensfreiheit bezieht? Ziehen wir die Grenze zwischen Maschine und Mensch vielleicht nur darum, weil wir gekränkt sind, weil Maschinen nun etwas können, was wir für rein menschlich gehalten haben? Ist das vielleicht nur eine weitere Ergänzung zu den drei Kränkungen des Menschen nach Sigmund Freud? »Warum sollten wir uns selbst abschaffen, hinfällig machen?« Aber haben wir ab einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt überhaupt noch die Wahl? Was ist die Rolle des Leibes für Vernunft und Intelligenz und vor allem für die noetische Dimension? Was ist Informationismus? Sind Maschinen gar die nächste evolutionäre Stufe auf unserem Planeten? Kehren wir zur Frage der Freiheit und Willensfreiheit zurück. Ist das vielleicht eine Frage, die viel weniger philosophische Tiefe hat, als häufig dargestellt wird? Um Wittgenstein zu bemühen: »Die meisten Sätze und Fragen, welche über philosophische Dinge geschrieben worden sind, sind nicht falsch, sondern unsinnig.« Wie zeigt sich das, was wir Autonomie nennen, wie kann es sein, dass wir uns selbst als frei empfinden? »Das ist ja ein schönes Paradox der Freiheit, dass man sich freiwilliger Notwendigkeit hingibt. […] Freiheit ist eine Stimmung — man fühlt sich frei. […] Du willst ja nur, was du willst.« Was folgt daraus? »Wir sind schon immer gefangen in den Bedingungen unseres Hier-Seins. Und von innen — aus diesem System heraus — kann die Freiheit nicht bewiesen werden. So zumindest erscheint es uns.« Schopenhauer sagt: »Ich kann zwar tun, was ich will, aber nicht wollen, was ich will.« Ist dies eine Widerlegung der Freiheit — wie Schopenhauer es annimmt — oder kann man andere Schlüsse ziehen? Gibt es einen Grund anzunehmen, dass es Intelligenz nur beim Menschen, respektive in biologischen Systemen, gibt? Beziehungsweise, dass es überhaupt andere intelligente Wesen außerhalb von mir selbst gibt (die solipsistische Idee)? Was passiert aber mit verkörperter künstlicher Intelligenz, etwa in der Robotik? Sind Roboter nur Körper und kein Leib? Ist es ein Kategorienfehler, die biologische mit der kulturellen und technischen Evolution zu vergleichen? »Die Kultur hat den Menschen schon von der Evolution entfremdet.« Kommt die biologische Evolution zu einem Ende, und wird sie von neuen Gesetzmäßigkeiten abgelöst? Was ist das Zusammenspiel von Technik, Maschinen und Macht? Ist Technik co-evolutionär mit dem Menschen? Gibt es einen Sprung von der Humanität zur Transhumanität? Was versteht man unter (technologischem) Transhumanismus, und was sind die Ursprünge? Allgemeiner gefragt: Ist der Mensch eine Aporie, die man überwinden muss? Wie sieht es mit biologisch/technischen Mischformen, kybernetischen Organismen aus? Steuern wir auf eine Singularität zu, die in etwa so gelesen werden könnte: »Es gibt keinen Gott — programmieren wir doch die Superintelligenz als neuen Gott« So beantwortet Ray Kurzweil die Frage: Is there a god: »Not yet«. »Wir haben keinen Begriff, was auf uns zukommt. Das könnte die Abschaffung des Menschen bedeuten — oder vielleicht eine relativ gemäßigte Koexistenz. Aber wir dürfen es nicht unterschätzen.« Wie groß ist diese Gefahr? Ist es überhaupt eine Gefahr? Können wir diese Technologien kontrollieren und regulieren? »Ich sehe keinen Grund anzunehmen, warum wir obsolet sein möchten.« Wie wahrscheinlich ist das Entstehen einer Superintelligenz, die möglicherweise sogar global wirksam wird? Was wäre die Voraussetzung dafür? Aber selbst, wenn es zu keiner Singularität oder Superintelligenz kommt, ist die Menschlichkeit nicht schon durch die Integration in permanent verfügbare dianoetische Systeme gefährdet? Werden wir unsere Urteilskraft an die Maschine delegieren? Mit welchen Folgen? Außerdem dürfen fundamentale Prinzipien komplexer Systeme nicht vergessen werden: Führen mehr Daten etwa zu mehr Sicherheit oder zu mehr Unsicherheit? Und wie können wir das entscheiden? Woher kommt das Neue in die Welt? »Die Welt ist nicht nur ihre Messbarkeit. Sie ist nicht die Summe ihrer Daten. […] Die Welt ist immer mehr und anders, als sich in einem Ordnungssystem sagen lässt.« Zum Ende des Gesprächs folgt eine vielleicht unerwartete Abzweigung: Bevölkerungen kollabieren weltweit. Im Gegensatz zu den langjährigen Warnungen tritt also das Gegenteil einer Bevölkerungsexplosion mittel- und langfristig ein. Dies gilt praktisch weltweit und besonders in den Industrienationen. Eine dramatisch alternde und gleichzeitig schrumpfende Bevölkerung wird aber erhebliche Probleme haben, ihre ökonomische und militärische und damit geopolitische Position aufrechtzuerhalten. Wird daraus ein enormer Druck entstehen, Robotik und künstliche Intelligenz als Ersatz für fehlende Arbeitskraft zu entwickeln und einzusetzen? Übernehmen — mit Marx gesprochen — die Maschinen also irgendwann die proletarische Arbeit? Gibt es doch noch ein alternatives und hoffnungsfroheres Paradigma? Also zu den Paradigmen der: Humanität Transhumanität Theo-Humanität Was ist darunter zu verstehen? »Lasst uns doch gemeinsam uns vergöttlichen — ob es Gott gibt, oder nicht. Das macht uns zu würdevollen und schönen Wesen.« Wollen wir Technologien, die den Menschen als Idioten betrachten, oder die uns als Menschen erhöhen?

En esta entrevista, calificada por la misma Martha Nussbaum como una de las más conmovedoras que le han hecho, la filósofa estadounidense conversa con el filósofo y escritor Carlos Vásquez Tamayo sobre la vulnerabilidad, la tragedia griega y el lugar de las artes en la vida democrática. Un encuentro organizado por el Parque Explora y la @udea. Nussbaum ha dedicado décadas a demostrar que las emociones no son fuerzas irracionales sino formas de conocimiento. “Mi trabajo es sobre la relación entre las emociones y la justicia social, porque sin comprender cómo sienten las personas, no podemos hacer buenas leyes ni buenas instituciones”, ha dicho sobre el eje de su pensamiento. Su propuesta del Enfoque de las Capacidades —desarrollada junto al economista Amartya Sen— cambió la manera en que organismos como el Banco Mundial miden el desarrollo: no solo por el crecimiento económico, sino por las oportunidades reales que tienen las personas para llevar una vida digna, con salud, educación, participación política y tiempo para el juego y la amistad. Martha C. Nussbaum es filósofa y escritora. Es profesora de Derecho y Ética en la Universidad de Chicago, con cátedra conjunta en la Facultad de Derecho y el Departamento de Filosofía. Entre sus más de 20 libros publicados se cuentan La fragilidad del bien, El cultivo de la humanidad, Sin fines de lucro y Crear capacidades. Ha recibido el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Ciencias Sociales (2012), el Premio Kyoto en Artes y Filosofía (2016), el Premio Berggruen (2018) y el Premio Holberg (2021). Carlos Vásquez Tamayo es poeta, ensayista, traductor y PhD en Filosofía. Ha publicado, entre otros, los libros de poesía Anónimos, El jardín de la sonámbula, El oscuro alimento, Agua tu sed y Desnúdame de mí. Algunos de sus ensayos son La nada luminosa - Fernando Pessoa, un poeta de la naturaleza, Eclipse de sol sobre Bataille y El arte jovial: la duplicidad apolíneo-dionisíaca en el nacimiento de la tragedia de Nietzsche.

The Philosophy of Translation (Yale UP, 2024) is a fresh, approachable, and convincing account of what translation really is and what translators actually do. As the translator of sixty books from multiple languages, Damion Searls has spent decades grappling with words on the most granular level: nouns and verbs, accents on people's names, rhymes, rhythm, “untranslatable” cultural nuances. In this book, he connects a wealth of specific examples to larger philosophical issues of reading and perception. Translation, he argues, is fundamentally a way of reading—but reading is much more than taking in information, and translating is far from a mechanical process of converting one word to another. This sharp and inviting exploration of the theory and practice of translation is for anyone who has ever marveled at the beauty, force, and movement of language. In this episode, Ibrahim Fawzy sat down with Damion Searls to discuss The Philosophy of Translation, exploring what it truly means to read as a translator, how grammar shapes worldview, and where creativity lives in the space between languages. Damion Searls studied philosophy at Harvard and is a prominent translator from German, Norwegian, French, and Dutch, including books by Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Rilke, Proust, Kielland, Jelinek, Schwitters, Mann, Modiano, and Fosse. His own books include the novel Analog Days, the poetry volume The Mariner's Mirror, and The Inkblots, a history of the Rorschach test and biography of its creator. Ibrahim Fawzy is an Egyptian literary translator and writer. He is the translator of Hassan Akram's A Plan to Save the World (Sandorf Passage, 2026). His interests include translation studies, Arabic literature, ecocriticism, disability studies, and migration literature.

Nietzsche wasn't wrong about everything. No, the will to power- pure human desire that crosses all moral boundaries- will never be Jewish. But he got something fundamentally right. We will call it the ‘Will to Shabbat.' And we read about it in this week's torah portion.

Talking with writer, reader, wanderer Znore , anonymous author of the blog Group Name for Grape Juice and his essay collection exploring imagination across philosophy, religion, literature, conspiracy, culture, a name plucked from Finnegans Wake, a pseudonym as portal, a thumb raised to the Dao of ideas.On hitchhiking as a philosophy of life, on synchronicities, on conversations continuing between strangers, on looking for the connective narrative between Blake and Nietzsche and McLuhan, on perception as incarnation, on bodying forth a world through the senses, on Nietzsche's claim that we are all greater artists than we know, on the imagination as Christ, on supercharging passive perception into active creation, on the non-dual lurking beneath, on CS Lewis and Tolkien and the myth that is also history, on Owen Barfield and original participation, on Steiner's evolution of consciousness, on animism as the religion of the earth, on the 8 million kami of Shinto and finding spirits in toilets and trees and rocks, on idolatry as the epoch of separation, on Philip K. Dick and the band that only played once but left many recordings, on finding God in the litter of the street, on Joyce and the refusal to separate high and low culture, on Finnegans Wake, on Vipassana, on prayer as the fastest route to sacred space, on Meister Eckhart's , on the original sangha and the early Christians as communists, on Marx's alienation mapped onto Barfield's idolatry, on the potlatch and the destruction of surplus, on Robert Anton Wilson's axiom that communication only happens between equals, on politics as the great distraction from the spiritual project, on the Chöd ritual and monks inviting demons to devour them in charnel grounds, on the eye atop the conspiracy pyramid being your own ego, on Jacob Böhme's God of wrath and God of love as one God, on AI as both Pentecost and Antichrist, on masks as honest practice, on raising children, on quiet resistance, on the cosmic communism of saving all beings from suffering, on life, on practice, on love.ExcerptsOn HitchhikingEvery time you're on the road and you put your thumb out, you're tapping into the DAO and just any ride that you get, completely alters the course of your life in a certain way.On ImaginationThe primary imagination is the imagination of the I am, which is God, but it's reflected in us through our perception.And so we all have this, we all have the imagination of God in the sense that we perceive things and we create the world that we behold with our senses. It's already anti-authoritarian. But I'll call myself an anarchist anyway, just to just to emphasize that, that my main focus is freedom and liberty, right? And especially that includes above all the freedom of the imagination. The liberty of the imagination.On PoliticsCosmic communism, not related to state control and Stalinism, none of that, but it's save all beings from suffering. That's what my politics are all about…Death Sweat of the Cluster: Selected Essays from Groupname for Grapejuice.By ZnoreAn inebriated exploration of reality and other myths featuring Finnegans Wake, William Blake, Robert Anton Wilson, Philip K. Dick, Emma Goldman, Ezra Pound, Robert Duncan, Terence McKenna, Gertrude Stein, Carl Jung, Marshall McLuhan and others as guides and waylayers. A cast of hundreds.

But the concept never truly disappears, and for good reason. Near-Earth asteroids, numbering in the millions, contain staggering quantities of precious metals, rare earth elements, and water ice. Ironically, those same materials — iron, gold, platinum, nickel, and dozens of others — were originally delivered to Earth by asteroids during the Late Heavy Bombardment period some four billion years ago. We're essentially talking about going back to the source. The three main asteroid types — carbonaceous (C-type), silicate (S-type), and metallic (M-type) — each offer distinct resources. Beyond metals, the abundance of water ice in the solar system could relieve pressure on Earth's increasingly stressed freshwater supply and fuel deep-space missions. Philosophically, the implications are profound. Thomas More and Nietzsche both wrestled with why scarcity drives human value systems. Flood the market with space-borne metals and the entire economic architecture built on scarcity begins to crumble. Orwell saw it too — abundance erodes hierarchy. The first trillionaires born from asteroid mining might find their wealth meaningless almost immediately after making it. But the darker scenarios deserve equal attention. Redistributing consumption off-world doesn't eliminate it. Space debris, environmental degradation beyond Earth, and the very real risk of exploitative labor structures in off-world operations — echoes of colonialism and indentured servitude — are not science fiction. They're logical extensions of human patterns. The enthusiasm may ebb and flow, but asteroid mining remains an inevitable chapter in humanity's story. The real question is what kind of story we choose to write around it. ______________________ Resources   ______________________ For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

La Mettrie fut le philosophe maudit du Siècle des Lumières. Lecteur et critique de Descartes, La Mettrie soutient une thèse fascinante : si Descartes fait une distinction entre le corps et l'âme, c'est surtout parce qu'il veut rester prudent face au pouvoir religieux. La Mettrie va donc prendre le risque d'écrire ce que Descartes n'a pas osé écrire. Ce qui le conduira à redéfinir la notion même de bonheur.➔ Regardez la version vidéo de cet épisode : https://youtu.be/FH2TDimoh7Q➔ Rejoignez-moi sur Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/ParoledephilosopheMembre du Label Tout Savoir.

Tell me if this makes sense… We live in a world today characterized by a fetishized pornographic addiction to rape. If it were not so, Law & Order: SVU wouldn’t have made it past a single season – let alone, into SYNdication for nearly 30 years…! I loathe Adorno and the CULTural Marxists who SYNthesized (read: weaponized) Marx and Freud to the general detriment of mankind, beginning with the ‘West’. But, he raised some legit points, as often the baddies do. It’s their SOLUTIONS we all need be wary of. For nigh on 100 years, we’ve basked in the jaundiced glow of the Frankfurt School, as legions of university students continue having their minds and spirits poisoned in the name of ‘Progress’. See also the ancient Roman Collegium, a concept dating back to (at least) the days of Plato – who, incidentally, literally wrote the book on The Republic. I digress… In Adorno’s “Fetish-character” essay, he states, a fetish is a substitute object of desire.[1] I would submit that in the latent undercurrent of this Nietzschean ‘power-evolving universe’ of today’s America; men and women, by and large, secretly harbor a craven desire for rape. It sounds crazy! Until one considers the popularity of Law & Order: SVU for the last 27 years. America is Kung-Fu LARPing, with each new iteration of the ‘fetish substitute object of desire’ further blurring the lines between fantasy and reality (schizoaffective disorder) as we creep ever closer to the Chaos Magick of bringing these secret desires to life. But, beware; LARPing has consequences.[2] The Epstein Saga has been publicly ongoing for 2+ decades. More than a thousand witnesses have come forward – including dozens who’ve accused Trump (E. Jean Carroll) – and yet, only Epstein and Maxwell have been ‘brought to justice’. Speaking of ‘justice’, Thomas Massie probably said it best:[3] Congress created the Department of Justice, Congress funds the Department of Justice, and Congress is responsible for the oversight of the Department of Justice. When will we see justice? I’ll tell you what I’ve not seen. I’ve not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein Files – over 3 million documents describing horrible things, describing unspeakable things, much of it redacted. Over two dozen people have resigned; CEOS, members of government, worldwide. But, I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States, from this Department of Justice. Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who has since been stripped of his royalty, his royal titles, due to his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested. Peter Mandelson, who previously served as UK’s Ambassador to the United States, resigned in disgrace from United Kingdom’s House of Lords and the Labor Party, and he’s been arrested. Former Prime Minister of Norway Thorbjorn Jagland has been charged. But, we don’t see any charges, arrests, or investigations in the United States. What do we see? We see our FBI Director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas. It’s fine to be proud of this country. But, we should be proud of this country because we have a system of justice that works. And yet we do not. … We need justice. We want the Department of Justice to get to work, and that’s what they need to do – now. The Trump (45/47) DOJ is unwilling to rat itself out – and so are the other 77+ million co-conspirators… And then there’s the 77 million co-conspirators who voted for Epstein’s best friend Trump as many as three times, knowing he’d been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, and even after he was found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. For 77 million men and women it was not a dealbreaker! He rapes, but he saves. He saves more than he rapes … but he probably does rape.[4] Considering the aforementioned, what would be crazy is not acknowledging America’s fetishized pornographic addiction to rape – which is precisely what we’re doing. We are gaslighting ourselves at this point, as we turn a blind eye to our own culpability. After all – on the eve of America’s 250th Anniversary of Independence – wasn’t this always to be a government of, by, and for The People…? 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; …21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, …24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: …26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. — Romans 1:18, 21–22, 24, 26–32 KJV 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. — Philippians 4:4–8 KJV #Links Clips [1:58] Etymology (the origins of words) was taken out of schools in the early 1900’s for a reason.

The actor wore what she described as a “prosthetic [redacted]” in her recent movie The Testament of Ann Lee, as she revealed in a Feb. 25 interview with BBC’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show. “This movie, it needed to be graphic, so, like, I had a prosthetic [redacted],” she said in a clip posted to Instagram, which understandably perplexed Mills himself. When pressed for more details, she surprisingly had a rave review about the experience. “It was cool. It was exciting.” Seyfried plays the real-life Ann Lee, a Christian woman in 18th-century Great Britain who viewed herself as a representative of God and eventually founded a religious sect called Shakers, with the film capturing her group’s move across the pond to New York during the Colonial era. Son of megachurch pastor sentenced after horrific materials found at home ‘among worst investigators have seen’ An Indiana megachurch once known for preaching purity and sexual morality has found itself at the center of a scandal that has shaken a congregation, rattled political allies, and ended with a six-year prison sentence. Jonathan Peternel, 24, of Pendleton, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in January to one Level 4 felony count of child exploitation and three felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. The case drew intense public scrutiny not only because of the disturbing evidence uncovered by investigators, but because his father, Nathan Peternel, remains listed as lead pastor at Life Church and is a longtime mentor and close associate of Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. Why Viewers Say You Should Watch ‘Nymphomaniac’ Alone Due to Its Graphic Scenes Both volumes of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac are streaming on Netflix in the U.S., and its return to an easy, familiar platform has revived a warning that has followed the film since 2013: ‘Watch this one by yourself.‘ … So why does this movie come with a warning like that? The movie’s name actually answers that on its own. The term nymphomania is used to classify someone who has an uncontrollable compulsion toward sex, and that is exactly what the film follows across 2 volumes and 8 chapters. It opens with a woman named Joe, found beaten in an alley. A man named Seligman brings her home, and she begins telling him the story of her life from her earliest sexual memories through decades of escalating need. Von Trier was telling the story of a woman whose entire life is shaped by a compulsion she cannot control. … The discomfort the audience feels isn’t incidental. It’s the mechanism. Von Trier built the film so that watching it puts you closer to Joe’s experience than any non-explicit version ever could. The surface reading is addiction… What Joe is actually chasing is not sex but connection. Every encounter she describes to Seligman moves her further from other people rather than closer to them. Sex becomes the thing she reaches for because the thing she actually needs keeps slipping out of range. That distance between the act and the need behind it is where von Trier plants the real story. The compulsion is real, but the loneliness underneath it is what he keeps circling back to. He called this technique “Digressionism,” a term he coined to describe a storytelling style that deliberately wanders away from its own plot. He cited Marcel Proust as an influence. Nymphomaniac is the final film in what von Trier and critics call the Depression Trilogy. Following Antichrist in 2009 and Melancholia in 2011. After years infiltrating child exploitation rings, expert reveals an even DARKER American underworld | Blaze Media Demons in the Headlines EXPOSED: The War for Power and Souls in D.C. | Strange Encounters | Ep 29 – YouTube [31:30–33:26] Back to the politics piece; everybody within politics – even if they disagree with exploitation or whatever – they show partiality. And, I believe it’s, is it second Peter? … It says, ‘where partiality exists, exists every form of deceit and evil’. We can look it up … but I think that’s it. But, where partiality exists, exists all forms of evil. ***[Did he mean this passage?]For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. – James 3:16–17 KJV*** And, what is happening in our political world that I’ve that I’ve seen now is; you have career politicians – even if they claim to be Christians – they sell access. And, it might be access to conservative organizations. But, they sell access – and they’re partial to donors. … they’re unbelievably partial. And, they’re partial to their ‘club’, as opposed to the people they’re elected to represent. And, you have a bureaucracy that’s in place, and you have these elitists that are in place, that think that they can buy – because they have been able to buy your position – buy you, buy access to you, or buy access to somebody else, and ‘own’ – in this case, a US Senator, what I’m running for. But, it’s across the board for everything; Congressmen, even the President … Everything’s for sale. And, it’s ‘access’ that they’re selling, right? And, that’s the thing that stood out to me the most; partiality. More proof / Trump-Epstein Saga DOJ’s Epstein Files Screwups Get Worse With Unredacted Nudes and Images of Kids The Justice Department is under fire after newly released Jeffrey Epstein case materials reportedly included unredacted nude images and photos involving minors. Analysis by CNN uncovered nearly 100 explicit pictures of two naked young women on a beach, the news outlet reported. The materials also included photos showing a young girl kissing Epstein on the cheek. At least one unredacted image depicted Epstein alongside a nude female, and additional selfie-style nude photos of at least two other unidentified females were also published, with their ages unclear, according to CNN. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed and President Trump signed in late November, the DOJ is obligated to omit sexually explicit imagery and anything that might identify victims. The images have now been redacted.

When will we see justice? I’ll tell you what I’ve not seen.

Over two dozen people have resigned; CEOs, members of government, worldwide. But, I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States, from this Department of Justice.

Why is he not being investigated? And, Leslie Wexner; why did the FBI list him as a co-conspirator in their own documents in a child sex trafficking case, and then tell him, according to him, that they had no questions for him? Why is that? Well, the Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DOJ and the FBI to disclose to us their internal memos and emails about how they made those decisions, whether to prosecute or not prosecute. Yet, they have not delivered those memos. And, we still don’t have the memos and documents and emails from 2008, to explain why Jeffrey Epstein was given such a light sentence in what would have been an open and shut case of child sex trafficking, which allowed him to go back and recommit these terrible crimes, create hundreds of more victims, and ensnare so many other people in his conspiracy. Where are those documents that describe those decisions? We need justice. We want the Department of Justice to get to work, and that’s what they need to do – now!

On today's episode, we discuss how Christians should understand the relationship between faith and works, arguing that Scripture presents good works not as a way to earn salvation but as the necessary fruit and evidence of a living faith. Pastor Jimmy lays out a framework using Ephesians and James, distinguishing “works of justification” (trying to pay for your sins or impress God) from “works of mercy” that flow from grace and love of neighbor. Jim then dives into Paul and James, showing they address similar audiences wrestling with the law and demonstrating that Abraham and Rahab are models of faith expressing itself in action apart from “works of the law.” The conversation broadens into motives, asking how two people can do the same outward act while only one produces “divine good,” and why constant repentance, humility, and Spirit‑led love are key to discerning the difference. Along the way, they tackle Nietzsche's critique that Christian charity is “feminine” or just a power play, respond with examples from Jesus's parables, and use stories—from missionaries abroad to The Godfather and Wyatt Earp—to illustrate how mercy, authority, and patron‑client dynamics can either imitate Christ or slide into self‑glorification.

Antická filozofia sa delí na rannú, klasickú a poklasickú, alebo helenistickú, ktorá je už poznačená úpadkom a pesimizmom. Raná filozofia je zameraná na prírodu a filozofi sa snažia nájsť arché, čiže pralátku, ktorá by vysvetlila podstatu sveta. V stredovekej filozofií sa všetko točí okolo boha a náboženstva. V novoveku nastáva obrat, kedy sa filozofia vracia späť k človeku. Klasická filozofia, ktorá kladie dôraz na rozum a dôležitými predstaviteľmi sú napríklad Kant, Diderot, Spinoza, Voltaire. V poklasickej filozofii hovoríme o scientistickej filozofii, čiže spomeňme napríklad Marxa, a antropologickej filozofii, čiže Nietzsche a jeho nadčlovek. A filozofia 20. storočia sa vyznačuje veľkým pluralizmom, ktorý sa nedá tak ľahko zatriediť, či definovať.

Comment devient-on philosophe ? « Un philosophe est un artisan qui fabrique des concepts et, dans mon cas, des cartes pour s'orienter », dit Baptiste Morizot, 42 ans. Porté par sa bougeotte, cet intellectuel de terrain entend produire des « textes-boussoles » susceptibles de « faire bouger les lignes du souci » vis-à-vis du vivant et de nos relations avec lui. Comment interagir au sein de cette infinie canopée de « cohabitants dont nous dépendons dans toutes les dimensions de notre existence » ? « Ce n'est pas là-bas dehors, mais sous nos pieds. Ce n'est pas l'arrière-plan d'un selfie, mais un lieu de géopolitique complexe, multi-espèces. Que signifie écrire face à la crise écologique  ? Je ne cesse de chercher la réponse. Chaque texte est un tâtonnement », se demande l'auteur de Raviver les braises du vivant (2020) ou de S'enforester (avec les photographies d'Andrea Olga Mantovani, 2022). Mais comment s'est formée sa pensée, son éthique, à la confluence primordiale de Spinoza, Nietzsche et Deleuze ? A-t-il été ce jeune écrivain contrarié, borgésien, doublé d'un survivaliste amateur de baies sauvages ? C'est le sujet de ce premier épisode, bâti autour des rhizomes pas tristes de Baptiste Morizot. L'auteur du mois : Baptiste Morizot Né en 1983 à Draguignan (Var), Baptiste Morizot est philosophe et maître de conférences à l'université d'Aix-Marseille. De pelage brun, de taille moyenne, cet homo sapiens a choisi de quitter son biotope de bibliothèques vernies pour partir à la rencontre des « créatures fabuleuses » et des lieux merveilleux qui peuplent notre Terre, afin de mieux comprendre et réagir à la crise écologique. De ses aventures au grand air, en Pologne, au Kirghizstan ou en Californie, il ressort déjà dix livres depuis Les diplomates (Wild Project, 2016) jusqu'au Regard perdu (Actes Sud, 2025), en passant par Manières d'être vivant (2020, vendu à près de 90 000 exemplaires).

Crisis didn't always mean endless catastrophe. In German thought, it once meant a turning point—a judgment that forces choice. We dig into why that word saturated late 19th‑century philosophy and how it connected national unification, scientific ambition, and the search for values that could survive modernity's shocks.We start with the idealists: Kant's “critical” epoch set the mood for Hegel's self‑clarifying history and the historicists' hunt for inner laws of culture. From there, we follow the political tremors—Napoleon to Bismarck, unification to Weimar—to see how crisis moved from battlefield to spirit. Nietzsche then flips the frame. With God declared dead, he treats crisis as the baseline. The “last man” laughs, while creativity becomes obligation. Whether you read eternal return as metaphysics or a test, the question remains: can you affirm life without borrowed certainties?Enter Husserl with a different alarm. The sciences aren't failing; they're succeeding so thoroughly that they forget their ground. His method—the epoché and phenomenological description—recenters evidence in the lifeworld, the shared, embodied world where things show up with sense before theory. That doesn't undercut physics or math; it anchors them. We talk through demarcation debates, the limits of positivism, and how probability and incompleteness humbled simple falsification stories. Along the way we revisit Marx's crises as forks, not fate, and unpack how “krisis” in Greek names decision at its root.If crisis is judgment, not doom, then it asks something of us: to test idols with Nietzsche's courage and to pause with Husserl's discipline before deciding what to affirm. We close with practical stakes—why method matters for public reason, how translation shapes concepts, and where philosophy still helps when hot takes run out.Enjoy the conversation?

If you feel mentally crowded, over-influenced, or disconnected from your own powers, today's episode is for you. It's about how stepping back — intentionally — can restore clarity, confidence, and direction. We explore why solitude isn't loneliness, but a practical tool for better decisions and stronger self-trust. Drawing from Carl Jung's idea of individuation, Nietzsche's writing on original thought, and examples like Sarah Blakely building Spanx against outside advice, the episode looks at how people develop an internal compass instead of borrowing one from the world. I also introduce the “Inner Board Meeting” framework: a way to separate the voices of vision, execution, and self-protection so choices come from your core, not reactivity. Along the way, we examine burnout as identity suppression, midlife crises as unmet meaning, and the hidden cost of being too available to others. The goal isn't withdrawal—it's learning how to hear yourself again. Ready to turn your newsletter into your career?

In the conclusion to the daemonic series, we're looking at Stefan Zweig's Struggle with the Daemon - specifically, the section on Nietzsche. Particularly helpful for our analysis will be Zweig's comparison and contrast of Nietzsche with Goethe: both men contain the daemoniacal drive, but whereas Goethe holds it at a distance, Nietzsche gives himself over to it. By following Zweig's interpretation of Nietzsche's life and work, we can move from the abstract conception of it to a particular manifestation, and get a sense of the daemonic as it appears in an individual.
