Thinking of starting an instagram reactions series 😂

Also: I don't support genocide or glabal wars. I'm just questioning the value of violence in general

We need to protect this man at all costs ❤

Man, where have you BEEN in my life? I'm on my fifth video in a row; this channel is pure twenty-four-carat gold. When I get bored with these, I'm going to your site to find the rest of your work. Thank you for your service to humanity.

[chibuezennodim]

Very well said. You explained a lot of what I've been feeling inside lately about history and the world. There's an inner urge inside to test danger and fear, and I need to find it.

[Zen-tlie]

I generally agree with your concepts and ideas and I think you should try to debate some of your ideas. You could reach a new platform and more people. I think a collaboration between you and @PFJung would be really interesting!

[PeterVang-twqx]

I see what you are saying, that conflict might be necessary psychologically, and I would be inclined to lament this situation (but just because I don't want it to be true doesn't mean it isn't true). So my question is, could some other dangerous venture, possibly bestowing a great boon if successful, substitute for conflict? I'm thinking of exploration (by people, not robots), like the depths of the ocean, other planets, etc. (My question is to you, not Nietzsche.)

Another take on the matter of war making men, forging character etc. is not so much that it's war, it's the need for courage to stand up for principles. Doing so means you will come into conflict with the unprincipled, the non-virtuous. However, it needn't be physical conflict. The unprincipled are often our own flaws and laziness as much as speaking up about at a public meeting, and then having to fave potential disdain and loss of friends because one values virtue over shallow friendships.

Judging from reasoning, climate change and world war will be the only thing to get us out of funk .

[dankman]

Violence inflicted on someone for no apparent reason is not the right thing, the nature example is not valid here as there violence is being committed in order to survive. Why do we need war in order to understand peace which could have been achieved by putting the war off in the first place. Complacency is a problem that war resolves but the violence could be avoided altogether if we introspect regularly if we chase virtue without the bad reminders
I know im all over the place but i hope you get my point

[dekijurko]

If humane nature is also that shadow Jung talked about, how one human beign can form trust in another? I do support Jungian theory that speaks about shadow inside character, but this question of TRUST is something that occurs when we discuss this topic. (Forgive me for my bad english).

[zeljkop]

Nietzscheans should be about governing the Earth, masters of the Earth. The new people shall create those masters. See what was spoken at the World government channel in Dubai this year.

[MojoVince]

I felt that manifesting last year, there's always a conflict soemwhere, inside society, neighbourhood etc...
Élections are coming this year as the perfect exemple and it's gonna look stupid, we all know that so is that kind of brotherhood great or childlish?
Education will brought smarter conflicts and with that some kind of peace.
We have to find the most common conflict, i always thought that if we were under alien threat, the earth would go as one.
We have social inequality that would be great to fight altogether but global warming will strike first i guess.

War is the father or all things - hippocrates

[calholli]

So if we only fall into debauchery and decadence in times of peace and leisure, and we must have war and slaughter just to become our best selves: think about what that actually says about human nature. Where is the good?.. I disagree with you. I have no doubts that what you speak of is weaved throughout the roots of our evolution and cultural history; Yes, good men are rising stars in times of struggle and violence, but I don't think that the violence is a prerequisite like you're eluding. You're basically implying that violence is gods way-- it's the way nature operates/ therefore we should not oppose or resist it, and that we should embrace it, and that we actually need it; we depend on it to motivate us to be better and resist temptation of pleasure seeking... I disagree that it is a necessity. Correlation does not equal causation. Just because virtue may emerge in times of conflict, dose not mean that conflict incentivizes Fundamentally, what you're boiling down to is fulfillment and purpose along with community and belonging and coming together for something greater than yourself. Ultimately, I believe we have to aspire to discover and create these things- create that brotherhood- without the requirement to destroy one another for it to manifest.

[guillaumekeulen]

If i get it right
Studying academic philosophy doesnt make you a Philosoph!!??

[rezazazu]

Well I kinda see your point but you seem to put one step further and even glorify war in all its greatness; which makes the whole concept problematic. Don't you think we, as a species, are almost past that point of comparing our modern lives to those of ancient or medieval warriors? Conflict might be necessary for personality development of both sexes but war and violence can be something of the past

[paulovicentini]

You are confusing violence with Force
Violence is never justified
Force is to respond to the initiation of violence

[davidberenblit]

You’re like Casey Zander without the smug, arrogant mild narcissistic attitude!

[johndoeradiok]

I really like your videos, but the war doesn't work like you think it does anymore. Take it from an ukrainian.
The root of the issue is more cultural, i think
