Video discussing Chapter 5 of Joseph Campbell's primitive mythology. Starting with the comparison of the sudanese regicide structure to the sacrifice of the semiotic slot of divinely sacrifice projected onto a tribal member to then provides sustenance of the community by the dispensing of the divinely orientated subject. The video as well as Campbell concludes with a synchronic look across the Ecuadorian cultural zone and it's diffusing across the Agrarian planter peoples.

Chapter 4 discussion on Campbell's analysis of the Frobenius account of the Sudanese myth on the Destruction Of Cash. The story alludes to the sacrificial elements of the sovereign and structures of ritual and myth that Campbell uses to exemplify his bridging of archetypical images to the cultural theory of circular diffusion by Frobenius himself.

Chapter specifically based on Campbell's timeline revised backwards from the earliest homo-sapiens to the start of agriculture with the Natufians. Campbell proceeds with innovations and differences amongst the cultural zones of the Halafian compared Samarians in architecture, pottery, rituals, and relationship to the Gods.
Transcript

Discussion on Campbell's chapter regarding how Myth works in the lesson of the mask in ritual. Proceeding to examples of the Enigma of the Inherited Image amongst sea turtles and chicks. The finality revolves around a discussion on experience and it's relation to myth and ritual in the cycle of the lived life through the Aboriginals.

Beginning a new set of discussions over Joseph Campbell's Masks of God. This video introduces and gives an overview of Campbell's influences and differing historical precursors to how his method of a new Science as myth is made possible.

Conclusions on Gebser and how his thought is applicable to the current state of social media in the base of individual compressions and to contrast the mythic structure in their authentic things to the globalized highly technical world free of history and it's ramifications for meaning in greater culture within Gebser's thought.

Assortment of various concepts in the early chapters of the second volume of Jean Gebser's Ever Present Origin. Starting with the Entropic discovery in Thermodynamics with Maxwell's Demon. Next, I discuss the relationship of Gebser's model to denaturing and it's relationship to things and the craftsman to the deculturalization under technological enframing. The video culminates with a thorough discussion on the historical relationship with creativity and the arts with the poet as the disposal for the divine to the ruling of history in late 19th century poetry.

A small hermenutic inspired video on my own reading of Gebser as he goes from the foundations of aperspectivity to the Aperspectival consciousness of itself. I delve into limitations of Gebser's thought at the end of World War 2, and how the Aperspectival foundations imbued within cultured Europe paradoxically discovers the utility of systasis outside itself, but required itself in it's own manifestation.

This video covers the second half of The Ever Present Origin. I dissect the main concepts from the dense chapters over the dimensions gained from each structure towards their relationship of time theory. The appendix of the text covers the historicism of soul and spirit. The text and video ends in a discussion on the foundations of the Aperspectival.

Continuing video discussions on Jean Gebser's Ever Present Origin. I outline the main themes within his lineage of perspective art as established by high European civilization. The climax of this episode is the outlining discussion on the varying mutations and significant contributions of each conscious structure as they mutate through history.

My introduction to Jean Gebser's Ever Present Origin to the channel this video seeks to give background to Jean Gebser's project and relation to the German thinkers in their likeness to his own conception of modernity as the aperspectival consciousness. This includes a cursory glance at each structure and relation to the transformation of the ego in his historicism from un-perspective to perspectival and further mutating to aperspectival through art, science, philosophy, and cultural output.

This video introduces various insights on warfare after World War 2, that Jean Baudrillard offers in our relationship of warfare to the significance of it's dimension of the hyper-real space. I also abridge Baudrillardian thought into contemporary conflicts in a similar vogue to his insights such as the loss of territorial reference, autonomy in a nuclear global world, to the proliferation of pictorial mediums without messaging, and the thesis behind symbolic exchange and it's meaning in how warfare proceeded before.

Resuming my discussion on Simulacra and Simulation I analyze the chapters pertaining to information and obscenity as hyper-real in the proliferation of mass media. I touch bases on his thoughts on medium is the message as it's own dissipation on Marshall McLuhan's media studies thesis and as such folds and dissolves away categorical differences between economics, politics, and in so far as our relationship with mass media is of dissolved meaning then so too we could say of power in it's own end. The video concludes with how Baudrillard suggests indifference to totalizing coding as a means to averting.

Mulling over the early concepts and developments of Baudrillard's most acclaimed text, Simulacra And Simulation. The video starts with an introduction to the metamorphosis of the Simulacra's phases to the emergence of the hyper-real. I integrate his critique of The Matrix's rendition of his thought in the trilogy and how we may approach how Baudrillard sees our relationship with simulation. By vicariously demonstrated in various cultural analysis such as Disney Land, The Vietnam War, Cinema's liquification of historical meaning, and the beginning of the hyper-market free of any territorial referent in the form of the metropolis.

Discussing the chapter specific in symbolic exchange and death where Baudrillard builds his concept of political economy and the relationship of death as revolutionary outside of the formalized and totalizing frameworks of human categories and universalized reason contrasting with the suspicion of epistemic scientism making productive being and non-being.

This video traces the beginning of Baudrillard's scheme of ordered Simulacra as it adapts from production to reproduction. The discussion proceeds with Baudrillard's idea of graffiti as a insurrection defacement of dominant culture, the hyper-real and pornographic simulation, and then concludes with the critique of fashion as a demonstration of the hyper real simulation of sign references to only other sign references in mass consumptive culture.

An introductory video to the main concepts and ideas of Baudrillard's text Symbolic Exchange and Death. Main concepts include reversibility, hyper-real, sacrifice, and the "gift." The maturation of the video is on the potential of death where I tribute for my grandfather and discuss death's historical precedence in the Aztecs to an even secularized in Latino culture contemporarily by using Baudrillardian thought.

Introducing Jean Baudrillard on the channel by using his homage and critique particularly charged at interpretations of Foucault and other post structuralist thinkers. Baudrillard posits what perfection lends itself to oppression and the same dynamics of clarity and historical genealogical methodologies conforms and misses the simulative. This critique culminates with the assertion that centralizing or discoursing of power is no more real than the epistemological frameworks Foucault positions as central to what's discursive in how we see power or our discourse.

This video is mainly discussing Foucault's particular work on History of Sexuality Vol 1. I parse through famous concepts such as the Juridical, what it means to cut off the King's head in power analysis as well as the famous critiques of Freudian Psychoanalysis, and Biopolitics and how it scales from the individual to populational behaviors or normalcy. The video precedes and ends with some of the classic critiques against poststructuralism particularly aimed at Foucault's idea of social construction and the legitimacy under the praxis of politics or our moral discourses.

Covering Foucault's most acclaimed text, Discipline and Punish. I also synthesize with his state theory within Governmentality, and historical methodology towards how knowledge and power dispense, transform, and legitimizes itself.

Beginning my channel unit on Michel Foucault I touch bases and split his works into different projects of varying concerns. To then make focal, epistemology in his earlier works to a methodology and historical lens in an analysis of the praxis of how knowledge and power convey into how we instruct behavior and control in our world.

Installment musings video covering events across this summer spanning from desirous commodification as a process under the analysis of power relations. I shift to an analysis of the 2024 GOP field, Trump's mugshot and subsequent twitter return, and other matters. This discussion culminates in a racial lens towards the body without organs, and our relationship towards effectual senses, and the telos of authenticity in our technological paradigm today. The conclusion focal pivots to how it relates to power and the state and a comparison to violence in the East/West.

Part 2 of my discussions on Deleuze I turn towards the perpetual revolution and technological desire being paramount for advertisement in the 21st century. Followed by a discussion on judgement in politics and ethics within ones tradition or epistemological disciplines set forth in internalized practices and the necessity for obedience in order to make productive use of novelty.

Part 1 of my Deleuzian Hermeneutics where I cross the terrain of concepts and attempt to synthesize how one can emerge out of Deleuze's philosophy in unusual ways such as the incarnation under Deleuze's cosmological structure. I also discuss how one can cultivate their arborescent form in experimentation with the traditions and axiomatic norms that shape or negate our social formations whether in their upheaval or defense.

Finishing the channel's unit on Deleuze we continue to explore Deleuze and Guattari's examples of The Smooth and Striated firstly with multiplicities through mathematical topology. Secondly, discussions on their theory of work and labor. Lastly, we focus on the plateaus of aesthetics the Greek and their geometrical formalization of the state and other concerns of abstract lines and it's relation to the concept of Nomadology.
