Embody Humility Without Vanity (Guiding Axiom 6/7) | IR #15

“Our honesty, we free spirits—let us be careful lest it become our vanity, our ornament and ostentation, our limitation, our stupidity! Every virtue inclines to stupidity, every stupidity to virtue; ‘stupid to the point of sanctity,’ they say in Russia,—let us be careful lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores!” ― Friedrich Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil, A. 227) Original piece: https://theunhappyman.substack.com/p/embody-humility-without-vanity --------------------------------------- {Website} https://rahulsam.me/ {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RahulSam {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-samaranayake-981a9315b/ https://trahulsam.medium.com/ https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ Facebook Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Reference Links} - {Music Used} - {Images & Videos used} - --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this channel evoke your interest, consider visiting https://theunhappyman.substack.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

On Writing Without Lies, Machinations And Bullshit (Guiding Axiom 4/7) | IR #13

“Christianity protests against every form of objectivity; it desires that the subject should be infinitely concerned about himself. It is with subjectivity that Christianity is concerned, and it is only in subjectivity that its truth exists, if it exists at all. Objectively, Christianity has absolutely no existence. If the truth happens to be only in a single subject it exists in him alone; and there is greater Christian joy in heaven over this one individual than over universal history or the system.” ― Søren Kierkegaard Orginal piece: https://theunhappyman.substack.com/p/on-writing-without-lies-machinations --------------------------------------- {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RahulSam {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-samaranayake-981a9315b/  https://trahulsam.medium.com/  https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ Facebook Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Reference Links} https://politikon.iapss.org/index.php/politikon/article/view/11 https://cliff-salad-4e8.notion.site/Questions-Discussion-Topics-For-PF-Jung-c4a02021b2ff45e49af6d7c483f80411 --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this podcast evoke your interest, consider visiting REALM: https://www.realmprojectau.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Never Mistake Cynicism For Wisdom (Guiding Axiom 3/7) | IR #12

“But the new rebel is a Sceptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. [...] By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.” ― G. K.

PF Jung On Symbols, Pragmatism & What If “Truth” Is Detrimental To Being Human | IR #9

Paul (PF Jung: https://www.youtube.com/c/PFJung) is a YouTuber that discusses the ideas of Jordan Peterson & Carl Jung. I found him to be an individual who’s genuinely oriented towards the good, true and beautiful, whatever that means or entails.

The Best Criticism Of Jordan Peterson I've Read | IR #8

“If all enigmas are resolved, the stars go out. If everything secret is returned to the visible […], if all illusion is returned to transparence then heaven become indifferent to the earth.” — Jean Baudrillard “What is the purpose, and, worse still, what is the origin of all science? What? Is scientific method perhaps no more than fear of and flight from pessimism? A subtle defence against - truth? Or, to put it in moral terms, is it something like cowardice and insincerity? To put it immorally, is it a form of cunning? O, Socrates, Socrates, was that perhaps your secret? O, mysterious ironist, was this perhaps your - irony?” — Friedrich Nietzsche Complete article - Jordan Peterson and the (F)law of ‘Scientific Inquiry’: https://politikon.iapss.org/index.php/politikon/article/view/11 David’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheoryPhilosophy --------------------------------------- {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RahulSam {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-samaranayake-981a9315b/ https://trahulsam.medium.com/ https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ Facebook Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Reference Links} - {Music Used} - Epidemic Sound: https://bit.ly/2T22q6V {Images & Videos used} - --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this podcast evoke your interest, consider visiting REALM: https://www.realmprojectau.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Paul Tillich’s The Courage to Be | IR #7

"The courage to take the anxiety of meaninglessness upon oneself is the boundary line up to which the courage to be can go. Beyond it is mere non-being. Within it all forms of courage are re-established in the power of the God above the God of theism.
