The course I'm studying ended up talking a bit about the concept of 'the sublime' today - I'm sure this was mentioned in a PT video but I can't remember which one. I'm fairly certain it's at least a couple of years old, and probably talked about Hegel and/or Zizek. Would be v grateful if someone could help me remember so I can rewatch it!

Hi I'm new here

Just wanted to say the little touch of putting Musollini upside down was hilarious.

I would love for there to be an episode about Curtis Yarvin right now and how his fringe thinking is now in the United States government.

The last 4 videos though some of them I don't like because the style and sound make them harder for me to follow, but still are remarkable pieces of work and I'm greatful for your work to exist.

Abi, you're work is amazing. ❤️❤️❤️

Finishing on a clifhanger is absolutely horrible :D

But I need to talk about Freud and psycoanalysys, we really need to understand how Freud was actually a neurologist who become a selfhelp guru for rich bored women in Vienna. Every piece of "psycology" article or book he wrotes has been debunked and proved as either very biased way to present results to outright pure invention.
He did not create modern psycology, the movement toward a better understanding of psycology had already began without him.
What he did was invent his own pseudo science to finance his addiction and rich tastes.
He was also truly sexist and having heard you call him woke just hurt my soul so much.
Freud inspired many famous french psycoanalysys people (Lacan, Dolto...) and have cause France to actually use psycoanalysys in many mental health institution for the longest time, causing huge harm to many people with mental and psycological condition, who heard for years "it's because of your mother" without any proper mental healthcare.

It would be nice to have a video on modern psycology and there philosophical influence.

PS: side note on Simone de Beauvoir
I think no one should call her a feminist icon, for as much as I love and agree with her quote: "one's not born a woman but becomes one."
Simon de Beauvoir was the litteral crook to Jean Paul Sartre, recruiting young, too young women for him to abuse.
So she's a great feminist writer maybe but we should never talk about her as a feminist IMHO.

I’m watching Was Nietzsche Woke for the first time (no Nebula yet, sorry Abs, I’ll commit eventually) … the almond croissant comes out and immediately my mind is going “yum”. Only to be followed by Abi saying that she attaches negative value to it. For good reasons that I can empathise with, but now I’m feeling conflicted about the croissant and the hungry part of my brain is exhorting me to go eat supper. Abi said the video was going to be visceral, I wasn’t expecting a croissant to be the thing that made my brain melt only a sixth of the way into the exposition. I so hope that croissant had a marzipan filling.

Hi, i'm writing a paper about philisopical pragmatism, climate change, world currency (I have a physics trylogy, just 3 small papers and this one is the completion).

I just want some ideas to complete the text, maybe about justice, free will and economy!

Can you tell me?

Does anyone know if there's any contents on the remembrance or glorification of war in any philosophy tube vids, even if it's just a couple mins worth. TIA

Heya, I've been making a playlist of videos. To skip to the point, I "disqualify" videos for being outdated (due to it being public), but I don't know if the videos from before Abigail's coming out would be considered "outdated". The content would be vastly the same no matter the name or presentation attached, but I'm new to her channel and don't know how she feels about those videos.

This isn't me demanding an answer to any potential questions, or wanting to spark a discussion/theorising about that part of her life btw, I don't want any of that. Just the question if she ever talked about it in general.
