Can we have a /lit/ related youtube videos thread? Anything you consider interesting and worth mentioning, from Bukowski tapes to Bertrand Russell Interviews.

I'm looking through EGS's channel for philosophy courses right now, but the accents are killing me. I think I'll watch DeLanda's videos on Deleuze for now.

On a serious note, how many original conferences does Zizek have? As in conferences that don't consist of a load of recycled materials under a different title. He definitely has some at least, but they're hard to find within the mass of repeated jokes.

I've seen it a while ago, but it seemed a bit too reactionary for my taste. I don't know all that much about art or the art world, but as far as aesthetics go I think a lot of things (beautiful or otherwise) can become art given the right circumstances. I hope you weren't being sarcastic though, that documentary really has its moments.

I enjoyed them and felt disgusted at the same time, mostly because of how easy they were to watch. I don't mean just because the content isn't that impressive, being a spoof and all, but rather because the timing just felt right. It's as if if someone were to make a documentary about Shakespeare using the same tone (without the slang obviously) and rhythm it would be as exciting as a Hollywood action movie.

It's the same deal as 3 minute philosophy. Even if the videos were longer it still would have been really enjoyable to watch, even if not nearly as productive as actually reading / reading about the philosophers.

It's just something about this combination of reasonably fast moving images and narration that works really well. Maybe I've watched too many cartoons as a child.

The analysis part is spot-on, I majored in Literary studies and I'm still surprised how efficient and spot-on his analysis actually are.
I do believe the guy has a PhD it's not normal, I tell you, not normal for someone to define motifs and literary resources as he does without prior education.

How the fuck did this end up from Roger Scruton to a /mu/ thread?

Why can't /mu/ ever keep shit on topic.

Any way, why beauty matters may be reactionary or conservative he brings up a very important matter, that beauty is a virtue and value is dead.

Even the things we consider beautiful, lack "beauty".¨

And Roger Scruton really goes on to bring this point home.

Dunno if his other videos are more insightful but that didn't seem like anything more than a black guy discussing conventional Hamlet knowledge using pseudo-street language. Not exactly a masterpiece, he could have just as easily read Sparknotes.

This. I saw this and connected with arts for the first time in my life. I had the moment where I 'get it'. I understand it's purpose and its mission. It made me want to paint and write. I wanted to redeem this ugly world and my reality through beauty.

Well in a sense, Roger Scruton doesn't mention it outright, but when he says that when humans try perceive beauty, live beauty we are inherently bound to corrupt it, that there is the "platonic ideal" "the world of idea beauty" that we can never see. We can grasp it, but the moment we do, we alter it. It is essence the same as the observer principle.

Plato might have been too smart for his own good.
