    Viktor Frankl said that over a lifetime what is important is the storehouse of good things we did for other people…

    Far more worthwhile than…*ahem* -other- youtubers that you’ve featured. Repeatedly.

    Why is it a blocked post, though? 2 minutes of relatively dry philosophy isn’t something that would make most people cringe.

    If it takes a little deception to raise conciousness, I’m all for it. Like your mum sneaking some healthy vegetables into your diet. Very clever, Josh.

  15. Josh~ Identicon Icon Josh~ GERMANY says:

    Haha, I’m so sorry guys… I screwed this up ROFL. I made this post private by accident, the wet wednesday was supposed to be private, not this one. But I love how it got the video some attention ;o)

    There’s another school of thought. This school is usually referred to as the badgers.
    If I prick his finger not only will he bleed, but he’ll have the mending to remind of the occurrence, so it’s still with him.

    @tim232
    I think a more appropriate analogy woud be for mum to sneak some NatGeo into your porn stash.

    Good times…

    this guy always trips me out

  21. skinnyj Identicon Icon skinnyj says:

    Ahh, Nietzsche 101, someone has enrolled in a philosophy class! The contradictory nature of a Norwegian with dreads is oddly sexy…has he the brains to match his looks, or is he simply regurgitating chapter 3 of his philosophy 101 textbook? I suspect the latter….

  22. Vlad Identicon Icon Vlad CANADA says:

    Yep i remember that class, perception is reality.

  23. Stanislaus Identicon Icon Stanislaus GERMANY says:

    I have to agree with skinnyj… however, obviously they discussed some solipsism last week, not Nietzsche…

  24. rofl I love how all the people who dabbed in philosophy and heard some professor droll on about something they did not in the least bit understand assume that if anyone else ever discusses these same ideas they must have gone to a similar class.

    here’s a crazy idea… some people are actually smart and come up with ideas on their own.

  25. Josh~ Identicon Icon Josh~ GERMANY says:

    @stormy

    @all
    He dropped out of High School, so I doubt that he had any philosophy classes lately -_-

  26. imagi Identicon Icon imagi UNITED STATES says:

    omg, their OWN ideas!? what a crazy idea! :-D

  27. skinnyj Identicon Icon skinnyj says:

    Wow, did not mean to cause such a stir! I apologize for my terminal sarcasm. He is contradicting himself and I take that to mean that he does not fully understand the subject matter. I do not deny that he couldn’t have come up with these ideas on his own, but he cites specifically some examples which can be found in any textbook, or in their original source material, which are both available to the public and not just to students.

    I like that Josh has tagged this vid under ‘controversy.’ The duality of mind and body is, indeed, a very controversial subject. Our sexy friend here seems to think that consciousness is purely biological. If that is the case, then he is mistaken, and our thoughts and emotions are very much a part of ‘objective reality.’ Our neural chemistry is a product of our unique biology and, therefore, does not change unless the neurological pathways in our brain change as well. We can see this by observing how the electrochemical state of the brain is altered by stimuli. So, either your thoughts exist independently of your brain chemistry, or they are a product of it; you can’t have it both ways, as this stud is suggesting.

    So what do YOU think? Is our consciousness nothing more than an electrochemical reaction, or, is there something more to it?
