Ah yes… when the careless somehow accomplished more… I'll show you how little I give a hoot!

Why would something talk to everyone like they know ya, call the cops on ya, and when you're walking away try to shoot ya?

Mustn't mean a thing at all, I will fall in love just to fall, as I change my mind how I thought.

I could make all of life, feel alright, if I trust in my might.

Do what I learn how to like,

very beautiful video, super inspiring. thank you for covering ideas of a genius in a such approachable way.

Add an example to important topic in the video that will be helpful

This is very similar to what Robert Sapolsky at Harvard states in a recent book/paper….there is no free will. There’s an illusion of such but all decisions are based upon the experiences and individual has had up to the point of any ‘choice’.

Spinoza is de enige filosoof die je nodig hebt. Natuurlijk begrijp je zijn woorden niet als ze niet bevestigen wat jij al voelt. Er is inderdaad geen zelf en geen vrije wil en inderdaad als je dat weet ben je vrij. De werkelijkheid zien zoals die is zet je vrij.
Dan is er geen zelf meer om geen vrije wil te hebben.
De werkelijkheid is, naar mijn ervaring, altijd paradoxaal.
Spinoza is een mysticus en mystici zijn het altijd eens.

Spinoza's god is the Tao

David GRUSH. Look him up. 🧐👍🏻

Philosophers who don't believe in "free will" presumably accept that is a belief in which they have no choice; slaves to the deterministic interactions of molecules. No matter how you reduce it, you run into a paradox or contradiction at some point …..

I have always been enamored by causality and it's paradoxical ties with free will, since I learned about it in college. It's such a great way to explain nature

Atheism is still on the rise… Spinoza was a pantheist.

spinosa ethics & human bondage summary & more in 11 minutes, who dosn't have something to say about it good book & figured that was his intent all along

This guy is good.

Glad there is more out there about the incredibly forward thinking of Spinoza and is definition of god in pantheism/panentheism.

It is better to care less when you return it with intrest

There is nothing like “we “ getting better. The world remains as it is with all its dogmas. Perhaps his thoughts help an individual already in that state of mind.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I wish Spinoza could see this!

its amazing how through logic, this ex-Jewish mid-centuries Philosopher could reach that much verses Written in the Holy Quraan. literally, a lot of what was said in this video are written verses in the Holy Quraan. I wonder if he'd read the Holy Quraan at some point in his life.

Thank you, terrific presentation on the brilliant Spinoza.

Can someone give the names of the piano pieces that were used in the background
