Breaking the Spell of the Postmodern World | Michael Young

Mere Simulacrity, Session 6

My talk at Mere Simulacrity was an attempt to provide a unified theory of postmodernism in the culture. What I wanted to do was to show how the yeast of postmodern philosophy had worked its way through the bread of wester culture and transformed it.

We can’t step back from postmodernism, and it cannot be avoided; we need to get through it. And the first step of getting through it is the return of the logos to prominence and centrality in western civilization.

My husband and I got chills from this lecture. It’s so amazing! Would listen to all over again.

"My goal is to bring the Logos back to prominence in Western civilization." Amen brother.

After the Logos descended even to the grave, He rose to ascend to heights eternal.

I've been waiting for this one. Also, I don't think I've ever seen Wokal in anything other than a robe with Christmas lights in the background. :D

"Postmodernism is like a fun house of self-reflecting mirrors." - Ken Wilber.

[Justin-ShalaJC]

Wokal Distance is amazing. He just laid out 60 years of dialectical leftism in two incredible analogies

[stegwise]

you need to give him another hour and half as soon as possible

[kyleolin]

I’m 38:00 into the video and that may just be the best explanation of post-modernism I’ve ever heard.

[andrewlsmith]

i've listened and read a lot about post modernism and this is by far the best and simplest explanation of how we got to this effed up place

[tomchidwick]

Hey now!! Wokal cleans-up nice! Where did all the hair go anyway? 🙂
VERY happy to see Mr. Young's presentation here. Conversations between Boyce, Lindsay, and Young over the last few years have been pure delight.
And no, there's no such thing as too many Michaels.

Baudrillard, Derrida, and Barthes are the Three Musketeers of linguistic destruction.

Add in Foucault and you have the Four Horsemen of communication breakdown.

Does Matt Walsh know he has a doppelgänger? Or…a simulacrum, you might say?

[sylvarogre]

This was just about the most worthwhile hour+ that I've spent watching a YouTube video.

[viramandybur]

Wokal? The strawberry slurpee is a dead giveaway...great talk!♥

[kelitobrigante]

What an absolute DOOOOZY as they say in the USandA x

[lastmanstanding]

I need Wokal lecture on Logos specifically!!
We need to make it happen!

[janepavlis]

Good job...thanks for helping me to.better understand the shifting sand of our society and reinforcing my faith.

[NorthernObserver]

Great Talk. More substantial than it appears.

[bonafidecius]

Yes. This is spot on. The conclusion about the logos. I came to this conclusion myself not too long ago. That's what it's all about. Amazing. In the beginning there was the logos. And the logos is God.

[liamthegael]

great stuff wokel, love your conversations with B boyce and J lindsay

[markgrotto]

The bucket example is clear. The bucket is a bucket! It’s functioning as a chair. There is NO RELATIVE INTERPRETATION. It’s crazy that people can get away with this logic and fool society.
