INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Welcome to the problematic realm of perspective framing. Ryder Richards will be your dubious guide through this profound exploration of self-awareness and understanding. Central to our journey is the parallax view, a powerful method of finding our place in the world by establishing reference points by Slavoj Zizek. But first, we must challenge hegemonic narratives and reconsider Hegel’s notion of negation, as breaking free from (or subsuming and overcoming) conventional beliefs allows us to envision new possibilities.
As we progress, we’ll examine how psychology analysis, meditation, and Buddhism provide tools to reshape our perspectives and alleviate societal discontent. Psychoanalysis will offer unique insights into the human psyche, highlighting the potential for multiple points of fixation as normalcy which creates markers to allow a fixed identity.
Moreover, we’ll consider all of these topics related to the “desiring self” and its role in identity. Most pointedly, we will look at Christianity’s perspective on sin related to desire, and how desire is necessary to align with God.
Stay tuned for the next post, where we will dive deep into the intricacies of the Parallax View, a possibly revolutionary approach to subjective positioning that allows understanding without always negating the negation, as deconstrcutionism does.
0:00 Introduction of the parallax view.
- Introducing ryder richards and the concept of the parallax view, which is a means to find a position by establishing points of reference.
- The next episode is all about the next episode.
2:19 Breaking the power of hegemonic narratives.
- Post structuralist or deconstructionist. All of their arguments today can arguably be post-structuralist or post-deconstructionist, where brains are trained to be creatively destructive.
- Hegel's notion of negation, the ability to negate impact or power of something.
4:28 We must retain the positions we've just cancelled.
- Hegel makes his point that cancellation preserves the positions that were just cancelled, but that there is a need for a visual goal to position ourselves in society.
- Hegel argues that every cancellation is a new position, so every cancellation adds more gravel to the pile.
6:44 Why we need to break traditional beliefs.
- How modernist thinkers broke traditional beliefs to avoid the totalitarian narrative and nationalistic mindset that was sweeping through Europe 100 years ago.
- Two dispositions in the rubble of the rubble.
8:47 How to choose a new perspective.
- Society is more unhappy, anxious and despairing than it was in the past, according to the studies.
- Psychology analysis and therapy are tools for relief from the society that we live in and what we feel we deserve, and help pull us out of instant reactions
11:23 Psychoanalysis is more about sizing the psychotic subject than the ego.
- Zizek, Lacanian psychoanalysis is more about hysteria sizing the psychotic subject. To be non-psychotic is either to have multiple points of fixation or never know exactly who you are.
- Buddhism and meditation.
13:41 How to become an individual subject without ego.
- CBT therapy and meditation help reframe how you fit into the world and how you see your position in the world. It allows you to prioritize your desires differently.
- Buddhism is ridding yourself of attempting to desire anything at all.
16:18 To sin is to miss the mark.
- To sin is to position yourself further away from god, to miss the mark, and to be aligned with god to grow near the object of desire.
- Christianity uses desire rather than negates it.
18:44 Reframing the problem into parallax.
- Walking us through the conundrum of the desiring self and the methods of reframing it and positioning in it.
- Instead of the negation that is a deconstructivist rubble that has created an apocalyptic landscape, there might actually be a solution that is apparent here.
