Dr Sadler's AMA (Ask Me Anything) Session - February 2018 - Underwritten By Patreon Supporters
Request personal videos on Cameo - https://www.cameo.com/gregorybsadler Support my work here - / sadler or Buy Me A Coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM Philosophy tutorials - https://reasonio.wordpress.com/tutori... Take classes with me - https://reasonio.teachable.com/ Underwritten by the support of my Patreon backers, I offer an Ask Me Anything session for supporters, viewers, listeners, readers, and other fans each month. We do AMA sessions each month, and you can find them on the ReasonIO events calendar and on my Facebook author page. You'll want to get your questions in early since a lot of viewers typically have questions to ask. You don't need to ask the same question multiple times. Most of the questions I answer have to deal with Philosophy, Political Theory, History, Literature, or Religious Studies, but some stray into other areas like Music or popular culture. Keep the discussion civil - being a jerk to participants or to me might get you booted from the channel. #AMA #AskMeAnything #Philosophy #Politics #Advice #Psychology #Religion #Life #Personal Development #Questions #Music 1:07 Dank memes? 2:30 Euthanasia and abortion? 3:33 Hans-Georg Gadamer 4:14 Affirmative action? 5:38 Advice for young people? 7:20 Persuasion salesmanship, shilling? 8:30 Recent examples of sales attempts. 10:33 Mystics 12:57 Worlds of speculative fiction! 14:17 Spinoza and Hegel’s 15:15 Favourite philosopher? 17:07 Why colleges teach Marx but not Rand 19:40 Nationalism? 23:25 Marx 24:56 Steven Hicks explaining modernism 25:47 Stoics and school shooting 28:55 Jacques Lacan? 30:47 When will Hegel be done? 31:16 Buddhism or the Bhagavad-Gita? 33:37 Recommended ethics books for young children? 33:58 Epicureanism and Stoicism 34:44 Polish philosophers? 36:04 Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson? 36:36 Language and philosophy 37:17 Antinatalism, pessimism, cosmic nihilism? 37:38 I save 50-75% of my income 39:05 John Locke 39:38 Kant as Fiction? 40:00 Alan Watts? 40:50 Hume’s 2nd Enquiry 42:38 Common comments 45:14 Alice in Wonderland? 46:13 idealism/materialism/rationalism/ etc’ism? 47:56 Jewish kabala, Buddhist cosmology, existentialism 48:36 Limits of our language 49:15 Flourishing lives? 50:31 Would you ever go to the streets to question people’s beliefs like Socrates did? 51:48 Stephan Molyneux? 53:36 Chinese philosophy? 54:36 Cultural components of modern America that have their seed in religious thought/culture? 57:48 How does Sartre deal with choices as related to the future? 58:31 Is Marx the greatest political theorist of ALL TIME? 1:00:29 Do you think knowledge is something that can be completely gained from books or must be interfaced by teachers experience? 1:00:58 What did Thomas Aquinas say about the Stoics? 1:02:52 What philosophers do you dislike now? 1:03:55 Are you The Dude? 1:04:46 What if we gave all our yearly profits and extra labour to huge projects that would ensure humankind’s survival? 1:05:46 Why do they call you the Minotaur? 1:06:39 School of philosophy that has influenced you the most? 1:07:19 Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris? 1:10:05 Where do I start watching all your videos? 1:11:09 How do I best use the half-hour Hegel series if my native language is German? 1:11:46 Living as an Epicurean or as a Stoic? 1:12:24 Buddha vs Jesus in a knife fight 1:12:34 Seneca’s letters? 1:12:54 To what extent was post-modernism vital to throwing off certain kinds of dogma elitism and unquestioning sheepdom? 1:14:16 Do you believe ambition is more of a destructive trait or something to embrace? 1:15:04 Was Heidegger right about the end of philosophy? 1:15:36 Was Derrida an antichrist? 1:16:48 Favourite approach to the classroom? 1:18:45 Aristotle more relevant to contemporary philosophy than Plato? 1:19:33 Why should we take Bertrand Russell with a grain of salt? 1:20:20 Are you aware of the philosophical school of traditionalism? 1:21:34 What do you think of 4chan? 1:23:08 Best way to approach the works of Aristotle? 1:25:45 Does Plato argue for authoritarianism in The Republic? 1:26:46 How do you confront the absurd 1:28:14 Why is a human shaped like a potato? 1:28:31 Are self-help books discount philosophy? 1:29:21 Start reading philosophy with the Greeks? 1:31:08 The problem of evil?
