Exploring The Hidden Nature of Time's Existence

Does the future exist?

Reading Augustine's Confessions I experienced déjà vu - in Book 11 he discusses the origin of time and matter (reading the Book of Genesis) and 1) illustrates his discussion of time by the way we hear music or poetry 2) writes literally the following:
" What now is clear and plain is, that neither things to come nor past are. Nor is it properly said, "there be three times, past, present, and to come": yet perchance it might be properly said, "there be three times; a present of things past, a present of things present, and a present of things future." For these three do exist in some sort, in the soul, but otherwhere do I not see them; present of things past, memory; present of things present, sight; present of things future, expectation."

A student came to a Zen master, and said: Teach me about reality. Fine, said the master, take brushes and paints, go sit by the window, and paint the scenery outside. After an hour, the master came by and asked, What do you paint? Why, said the student, I paint that which I see. But what do you see? asked the master. Well, said the student, I see that which is. But, said the master. It is no great feat to paint that which is. The feat is to paint that which isn't. But, Master! cried the student, what is there that isn't? Ah, said the Master. Once you know that, we'll change places. you become the master, I the student.

was mostly following till the end, which was the juicy bit explaining dugins actual description of what the future is. except we just get a bombshell dropped on us about trauma without any explanation

The 4th Political Theory is magnificent.

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.

- TS Eliot

If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.

- Wittgenstein

Do you have plans for a video on Berdyaev? Dugin likes him

Very interesting. The music analogy is perfect, yet «the trauma of consciousness experiencing itself, the pain of it all» strucks me as the inverse of Buddhism. For Buddhism consciousness experiencing itself in a void equals Nirvana, which is complete, total liberation from pain and eternal bliss..

“… how paradoxical it is to seek in reality the pictures that are stored in one’s memory.” Proust

Why is there no music on this Karaoke track?

[abbasalchemist]

Very interesting and I largely agree with his formulations.But Time is not created by consciousness, but coterminous with it. Time ends when we end, but there is a transcendental level of which Time is merely an image--Aion.

could you provide more explanation and other videos on this?
It was difficult to understand

[KRGruner]

LOL, I know someone who is voting Harris in November; "The significance of the passage of time" and all that stuff...

what's with the tiktok tier formatting? you can add subtitles to the video, why are you making ADHD tiktok tier edits where each word is highlighted?

[Breeze]

Back to ask, how does this relate to Derrida's Hauntology, as coined in Spectre of Marx? (perhaps too vague a question for a Youtube comment but worth investigating.)

[mediumisthemassage]

It's an interesting video Mr Millerman but could you please not subtitle the videos with this style ? This constant green highlighting of every word in the sentence is distracting and I'm not able to follow the line of thinking. Btw I appreciate your videos on Heidegger a lot so thank you very much for that ! ! !

[mikecook]

I knew you were going to mention HUSSERL.…🤡👍🏻

[joeruf]

Can we get an opinion on Israel's terrorist attacks? I remember you posting a video relativizing international law in regards to the settlements and was wondering if that included terrorism.

[satyamevojayate]

Let me recommend you the reading of, professor Charles Upton, "Dugin Against Dugin: A Traditionalist Critique of the Fourth Political Theory". I believe is a serious advice about Alexander Duguin's ideas.

[dimzen]

Resonance is a _difference_ between the notes.
Time is a difference.
Difference between states of reality. And nothing more. All other is illusion of our mind.

What Dugin is saying is that you can't handle the truth. However, his theories sound a bit obscure/confusing. I'm a bit skeptical. He inferred the existence of the past. Why? Because there would be no Russian history if that were true and granted he is the ideological dynamo behind Putin's Russia he can't infer that the past does not exist because his hands are tied; he's a political figure and as such not a genuine philosopher. His theories do not revolve around the truth because they can't contradict anything because that would bring into question the veracity of the current regime. Hence the past exists! But does it? Where is it? In historical artifacts which themselves do not exist until observed? That's the factual scientific approach. Unbiased. So how wordy or complicated one needs to be in order to grasp the truth. Even Einstein said if it's true it must be simple so a child could understand it. Personally, I have no qualms against the Russian regime as I know nothing about it. But Dugin does not strike me as a true philosopher because he's an ideologue.

Tough crowd on this video… lol
