The problem is that knowledge has outstripped our ability to learn it in true depth. If we trust only the experts, we surrender our freedom of thought. If we use our freedom of thought, we can fully be ourselves, but we will use incomplete knowledge. In a world where people seek out meaning, relying on experts might abort their ability to seek meaning. What can they do?

@@schen7913It is clear that your understanding of university education is based on imagination, not experience or fact. It seems you think study involves being purely spoon-fed information, to regurgitate out. Yes, there is definitely that basic learning, to establish the foundations of the subject, in undergraduate subjects. However, university is more than that. University is actually an active learning study environment that involves learning critical thinking, how to descern valid sources, how to do your own research, do your own experiments, and your own analysis, backed up by the data, you, your fellow students, have found. At university, you question, and re -test the findings of experts. University teaches you what information is already known, and how to find more information (e.g. Dan's bibliography) and to think about things in different ways, have your own opinions, and test what you think is true. Broader thinking, research, and experience, that you can validate as legitimate by meeting certain standards, that you apply to course work, is rewarded with higher marks. This applies to science subjects, literary and creative arts subjects, where you have to convincingly argue your case, your interpretation, backed by data. Experts are experts because they have a greater depth of understanding and knowledge in that field than other people, due to years studying those subjects, with broader access to the known information, including primary source material that isn't available to the public, and ways to understand and interpret that known information. People who have no thoughts of their own, and want to be passively spoon-fed information, fail university. Cults, such the Jehovah's Witnesses, are opposed to tertiary education, because they know it opens, expands and develops thinking, by exposing people to new ideas, and also encourages questioning, and in depth analysis, as opposed to blind faith. The critical thinking, and research skills learned in tertiary education, free thinking from dogma, bias and propaganda, and provide the tools to determine fact from fiction. At postgraduate level, you need to contribute something new to your chosen field of study to qualify. If you are not an expert, you do not have a fraction of the depth and understanding, and knowledge of the topic as an expert does. Unless you have profound lived experience, for years, of what they are studying, although your understanding is perhaps only one example of a whole field of study. Some experts have both profound lived experience, and academic knowledge. If you have neither, you are not on the same level of understanding and knowledge. It is always wise to learn about the expert we are seeking information from, and if they are legit., listen and learn. We cannot compete with their years of in-depth active learning, and the knowledge gained from that. The freedom you are seeking is the freedom to create your own reality, without needing to apply the rigors and standards of academic testing, validity and proof.

Its neoplatonic righthand path stuff. The Monad or "the One" sometimes also described as "the Good", based on the concept as it is found in Plato. This is the dunamis or possibility of existence. It causes the other levels by emanation. The Nous (usually translated as "Intellect", or "Intelligence" in this context, or sometimes "mind" or "reason") is described as God, or more precisely an image of God, often referred to as the demiurge. It thinks its own contents, which are thoughts, equated to the Platonic ideas or forms (eide). The thinking of this Intellect is the highest activity of life. The actualization (energeia) of this thinking is the being of the forms. This Intellect is the first principle or foundation of existence. The One is prior to it, but not in the sense that a normal cause is prior to an effect, but instead Intellect is called an emanation of the One. The One is the possibility of this foundation of existence. Soul (psychē). The soul is also an energeia: it acts upon or actualizes its own thoughts and creates "a separate, material cosmos that is the living image of the spiritual or noetic Cosmos contained as a unified thought within the Intelligence". So it is the soul which perceives things in nature physically, which it understands to be reality. Soul in Plotinus plays a role similar to the potential intellect in Aristotelian terminology. Matter - the lowest level Since these ideas were widely included as a mystical background for many religions, with all kinds of variation, mystics who study many forms of mysticism gravitate to this universal idea. Which is probably the catholic church wanted to identify itself as a universal religion, as it adapted many tropes from non-judeaic beliefs. These beliefs have in common the use of some sort of magick, if not denying that they use magick, they nonetheless use magical techniques. The other idea is that divinity emerges from within, that one cannot hope to understand the divine universe, but instead to seek to develop the divinity within by reflecting on the way magick effects spirituality and how we are drawn by emotion and experience to believe things that are often untrue (e.g.s. Ancient Israel was Monotheistic at any point in its social evolution, the divine hierarchy was given in visions by the Jewish god). Lefties often employ chaos magick, but after watching a couple of videos on the topic I can safely say I still dont know what its is, which may be the point of its description. The inner divine can never be anything more than a thin slice of the greater apple and thus mystical techniques designed to comprehend the Nous or the Monad are a bit of folly, mostly wasted time. This path is a path of reflection what one thinks and the way that one thinks.

Any chance you can post a higher res version of your bibliography? The screen shot I made is kind of blurry and hard to interpret.

I know it's nothing new, but this air of anti-intellectualism is concerning to me. Like, subject matter experts are important in a society and culture. If we're looking to figure out the best way to manage a forest for example, I want an expert who understands the subject to better inform our actions.

This applies to ANY TRADE, or pretty much ANY thing that you put effort into, there are degrees to car mechanics, a BMW "Certfied" mechanic means he know more about BMWs than a mechaninice that did not go through training specifically on BMWs, this is not true for ALL mechanics, but it is true for MOST. The same for Drs. there are specialities in the medical profession because the studied and practiced in specialities. I mean this dude questioning Dan acts as if Dan simply went to school paid money and got nothing in exchange, that is NOT that way that works. Dan is certified BMW mechanic, he is an optometrist, he is a master welder, I mean just pick a topic look at the people who are the experts in that topic then look at what they did to gain that knowledge that makes them an expert.

Translation of the video Dan is responding to: "I'm butt hurt and have no way to refute what you say!!!"

Whereas Dan wears shirts when delivering his content. This man, in rebuttal, does not wear a shirt. I believe the rebuttal is his post modern take on man vs nature-where an action can have, and, in this case- must have, an equal reaction.

At this point they look like they are grasping at straws. This channel Not Once, did I see disrespecting any belief or religion. Rather it educates a person through logic. They're just hurt that the facts actually sound sane than their "perceived" facts.

I’m going to my mechanic and tell him he has no authority over me. And then tell him what’s wrong with my car.

If your car isn’t possessed (or worse, repossessed), it’s probably fallen out of a state of grace. You shouldn’t take it to a mechanic. Take it to a car minister.

The creator also is confusing "social contract" and "social construct". He is talking about the latter, not the former (which is an argument in liberal political philosophy)

Hobbes is the originator of the term Social Contract, which is the basis for our concept of “consent of the governed”. Hobbes is a big influence on the political philosophies of liberalism, but I’m not sure you could call him one of its proponents. I read Leviathan decades ago, but my interest in Hobbes has been rekindled by watching some videos of Sovereign Citizens, who seem to think that the Social Contract is a literal contract, and that it doesn't apply to them because they never signed it.

Oh wow. There have been many embarrassing responses to your work but this one is really something. Imagine trying to tell you your own theoretical framework for textual analysis, saying it applies to another text, and then thinking that's some kind of gotcha.

Credit where it's due, that guy was remarkably coherent, considering that he had obviously been sound asleep a minute before he made the video. Could have at least put on a shirt, though.

Got to love the anti-intellectualism that is so rampant today. I guess that when those people need a house built, they don't go to an architect, they go to Bob who once watched a show on Discovery about treehouse building. Instead of going to a proctologist, they go to Bill who saw a documentary about plumbing. Instead of expecting the pilot of a plane to have studied and practiced for a decade, they prefer to ask Jim who's really into Airfix aircraft model building. And when they want an authoritative view of a particular bit of the Bible, they go to Don who's an untrained but devout believer who has watched a lot of KZitem videos.

I believe it's a self-promotional tactic of TikTokers: you "duet" a video from an account with a large following or popular content, likely improving your odds of being seen by clickthru or being pushed by the algorithm. Dude has nothing worth listening to, so he rides coat tails for attention.

Pretty interesting how he argues that the bible has inherent truth/meaning, but in the same breath, calls it a 'work of art'.....
