Idealist Videos

It does not matter how you feel. There still is zero evidence of the existence of god. Afraid of something? Fear ignorance.

Without mind we Kant have a material world

Soren Kierkegaard asked the materialist if love exists or hope or mercy. If it were so, as conceited sagacity, proud of not being deceived, thinks, that we should believe nothing that we cannot see with our physical eyes, then we first and foremost ought to give up believing in love. If we were to do so and do it out of fear lest we be deceived, would we not then be deceived? We can, of course, be deceived in many ways. We can be deceived by believing what is untrue, but we certainly are also deceived by not believing what is true. We can be deceived by appearances, we certainly are also deceived by the sagacious appearance, by the flattering conceit that considers itself absolutely secure against being deceived. Which deception is more dangerous? Whose recovery is more doubtful, that of the one who does not see, or that of the person who sees and yet does not see? Which is more difficult-to awaken someone who is sleeping or to awaken someone who, awake, is dreaming that he is awake? Which is sadder, the sight that promptly and unconditionally moves one to tears, the sight of someone unhappily deceived in love, or the sight that in a certain sense could tempt laughter, the sight of the self-deceived, whose fatuous conceit of not being deceived indeed is ridiculous and laughable if the ridiculousness of it were not an even stronger expression of horror, since it shows that he is not worthy of tears. To defraud oneself of love is the most terrible, is an eternal loss, for which there is no compensation in time or in eternity. Ordinarily, when it is a matter of being deceived in love, however different the case may be, the one deceived is still related to love, and the deception is one that the love was not where it was thought to be, but the self-deceived person has locked and is locking himself out of love. There is also talk about being deceived by life or in life, but the one who in his self-deception deceived himself out of living-his loss is irreparable. Even for someone who all his life has been deceived by life, eternity can have rich compensation in store, but the self-deceived person has prevented himself from winning the eternal. Indeed, what has the person actually lost who, because of his love, became a victim of human deception if it turns out that in eternity that love remains, whereas the deception has ended! Soren Kierkegaard Works of Love, 1847 p.5-6 Hong

So refreshing to listen to Keith Ward, rather than juvenile materialists.

"physicists don't like talking about matter" i hear you say. throwaway lines like this mean i am out

If it's a philosophical basis for belief in God , why stop at just the one , lets have whole Pantheons and then we can argue that They made the Universe as some kind of elaborate joke.This stuff has GOT TO GO

stomping and trippy

On the issue of monism versus dualism, some idealists were dualists, such as Plato who believed in a crude, objective material world - others not, such as George Berkeley, who was a monist. But Hicks's approach to the subject is unbelievably tilted in Clip 2. In explaining idealism, he makes it sound almost materialistic. He comes off like the big epistemological issue for idealists is how they can explain mind/spirit. Hell, idealism is all about skepticism of the MATERIAL world, not pessimism about discerning the world of mind. Hell, Kant said mind is the whole shooting match for us because any objective world outside mind is unknowable, trapped as we are in the phenomenology / representations in our heads. Berkeley was a monist and said there is no objective material world, whatsoever. Berkeley's entire approach was making materialism look ridiculous, and rather successfully so. The guy in the video acts like the poor idealists are all about defending how we can know God. Bullshit. Hicks also makes no reference to the surge in popularity of monistic idealism, stemming from findings in quantum science, refuting materialism ever more compellingly since the 1920s

What a Dubby cut!! coldsy!

The captions are messed up :< He said whore and other words that kinda sounds like what he said the messes up the meaning.

The one part of iNFP that I am not is unkempt. I cut my hair every week and trim beard every week. I can't stand being dirty or unclean and I am a great dresser. I have enough clothes for 10 people.

Man some of those negatives and tips made me cringe!

HE'S READING ME!!!!!!!!!

im the IDEALIST :)........how lame -_-

I never knew I was only one percentage of the world. I'm like a rare Pokemon! Basically every word of this video was completely true for me. I usually find most people tend to find me difficult to understand. I value close friendships more than a large group of friends any day. It also explains where my creatve and caring nature comes from. I can spot when someone I know is upset from a mile away too.

Thanks a lot for uploading this Brice!
