Shadowing Practice: Why Nihilism is Taking Over Modern Society - Learn English Speaking with Video
Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
Nihilism is becoming dangerously popular, and it's no longer just in philosophy classrooms or those weird subreddits.
2
It's in the way millions of real people are talking about life itself.
3
Why is nihilism so taboo?
4
Why?
5
Like genuinely, none of this shit f*ing matters.
6
Like, none of it f*ing matters.
7
We are the generation that is waking up to the myth of the American dream.
8
I think Gen Z is dubbed the nihilist generation because they feel
9
that they have wasted their time and their money pursuing a degree
10
that we were told to pursue and it's amounting to nothing.
11
We're all gonna die.
12
None of this shit matters.
13
Everywhere you look, it seems like people have completely given up
14
and are now questioning if there's any reason to get up in the morning and beyond that, they're questioning existence and life itself.
15
This is terrifying, because if enough people start to believe that nothing matters, morality, purpose, and hope begin to disappear,
16
and at the end of that road is complete societal collapse.
17
As someone who has always been interested in philosophy and has studied nihilism extensively over the years, I was intrigued with this modern resurgence.
18
So I spent the last few months studying everything I could about nihilism to try
19
and figure out why nihilism is taking over our modern society.
20
And the results that I found were very.. strange.
21
Because although at the end of nihilism is complete societal collapse, that might not be as bad as it sounds.
22
When trying to understand nihilism holistically, we run into some problems.
23
The first is that the concept is ambiguous.
24
It can refer to a lack of belief or ideology, and it can also refer to this lack of ideology as an ideology.
25
That's the difference between someone being disillusioned and rejecting a belief system and someone choosing to embrace nothingness as a belief system.
26
One is passive in their nihilism and the other is active.
27
The word applies to both of these positions.
28
Now, the concept of nihilism isn't actually that old.
29
Its creation is credited to several authors, such as the Swiss physician and philosopher Jacob Hermann Oberreit.
30
In his book, Jacob criticized Immanuel Kant's theory of knowledge, referring to it as nihilism.
31
The German philosopher Friedrich Jacobi is most commonly credited with the origin of its philosophical use.
32
In a letter, he derisively referred to Johann Gottlieb Fichte's German idealism as a form of nihilism.
33
In either case, the word is used to negatively characterize a philosophical position.
34
It's like a bad word, in the same way philosophers would use the word solipsism, which refers to the belief that only you exist.
35
If your philosophy is being characterized by either word, you might be in trouble.
36
Nihilism as a concept became more widely known in the 19th century when it took on a political dimension.
37
The last time you voted, you probably didn't notice a candidate for the nihilism party on your ballot.
38
Political nihilism isn't a movement so much as it's a way of characterizing a political attitude.
39
It was often used to discredit extreme political ideology and anti-establishment movements.
40
In Russia, so-called political nihilism exploded in the 19th century.
41
These were socialist and anarchist movements that were quickly gaining in popularity.
42
of these movements routinely referred to them as nihilism in order to dismiss them.
43
In general, nihilism was used to slander any political group that was deemed threatening to the status quo.
44
It was largely used by conservatives at the time.
45
One such critic was the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky.
46
He once belonged to a socialist group, but was apprehended by the authorities and sentenced to death by the Russian Tsar.
47
However, the The author was released right before his execution and sentenced instead to years in a labor camp.
48
After his near-death experience, Dostoevsky rejected socialism and other revolutionary causes.
49
He felt they ignored the dignity of humanity and our need for individual freedoms.
50
From his experience working in a labor camp, he yearned to feel the fruits of his labor that he sorely lacked in confinement.
51
He strongly felt that socialism would similarly rob humans of experiencing the rewards of their work.
52
In the setting of crime and punishment, he puts on display the way radical change leaves people behind.
53
The people are poor and destitute while the revolutionary minded are uncaring of their plight.
54
Political nihilism more broadly can be summarized as the belief that the current political establishment is corrupt and needs to be destroyed.
55
Modern populism is a form of political nihilism or at least can be characterized in this way.
56
Both right and and left variations insist that the system needs to be overhauled
57
and they latch onto the myth and often reality that our political representatives are too corrupt to salvage.
58
Donald Trump seized on this belief to become president twice.
59
I am your warrior, I am your justice, and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution, I am your retribution.
60
While leftist populism has largely struggled to seize power, proponents of political nihilism, aside from anarchists,
61
would likely not self-identify as nihilists.
62
The term in this context is intended to delegitimize political movements.
63
It's not yet a stable concept at this point in time.
64
However, as we'll see,
65
the concept of nihilism is taken much more seriously later on in the works of the existentialist Friedrich Nietzsche.
66
The philosopher is often associated with nihilism and is widely thought to have embraced it.
67
But is it true that he advocated for a belief in nothingness?
68
Was that really his gift to the world?
69
Anyone who has seriously considered his work knows that he is not an advocate of nihilism,
70
but that it does play an important role in his writing.
71
Political nihilism suggests that nothing matters, that the systems that we live under are indifferent to our existence.
72
But honestly, the system is much worse.
73
It's not indifferent to your existence, neither does it ignore you.
74
It actively seeks to know everything about you and uses that information to control and suppress you.
75
Your name, your income, your family, even your struggles.
76
Data brokers collect these fragments of your life and then package them into lists that are then sold to the highest bidder.
77
These are some real data broker lists with insane labels like tough start young single parents
78
and rural and barely making it that prey on the most vulnerable in our society.
79
And we are all sorted into categories for predatory companies and bad actors that use this information to identify and harm us.
80
This is the invisible economy we all unfortunately live in, and it is invasive and dangerous.
81
Incogni was built to fight back.
82
Incogni automatically erases all of your personal information from the places that you can't see.
83
brokers, people search sites, predatory directories, all of the dark corners of the internet that are quietly trading your identity for profit.
84
On your own it could take weeks or maybe even months to get all of this data erased.
85
But, Incogni does it automatically and continuously to keep your information out of the hands of these bad actors.
86
And now with their new custom removals feature you can take that even further.
87
Just Google yourself, find a site exposing your information,
88
copy the link, and Incogni's privacy experts will work to have it removed even from the sites outside of their automated network.
89
Your data shouldn't be their currency.
90
It should be yours.
91
So take it back.

96
Winter is coming.
97
If you've read or watched Game of Thrones, you know this iconic phrase.
98
A long winter is coming for the people of Westeros, and so too is the army of the dead.
99
This story element mirrors Nietzsche's concept of cultural nihilism quite well.
100
Winter is a stand-in for nihilism, and the army of the dead is the death of God.
101
With the rise of scientific explanations for the universe and life on earth, the dominant belief in the Christian God was rapidly weakening in Nietzsche's time.
102
Philosophers in the mid-19th century were busy trying to rationally justify Christian values that were quickly losing their spiritual underpinning.
103
Ultimately, Nietzsche thought that this was a lost cause and that humanity risked sinking into a cultural abyss.
104
He suggests that they actually stem from the resentment of slaves towards their masters.
105
Through religion, the slaves elevated the opposite values of their masters, which supported their own way of being.
106
They were meek, humble, and forgiving.
107
They condemned the values of their masters, suggesting that a life lived this way would land them an eternity in hell.
108
For a religion where forgiveness plays such a central role, it's odd that eternal damnation is always such a staple.
109
Nietzsche would suggest that this contradiction comes from the nature of resentment.
110
The philosopher takes this argument a step further by suggesting that Christianity,
111
along with Plato and Socrates, was nihilistic.
112
They placed all value in a realm beyond the physical one.
113
For Christians, that is the realm of God and the heavens.
114
and Socrates valued a world of forms as the source of true knowledge.
115
In the Christian scheme, worldly life is deemed worthless.
116
Its value is taken away, which is why Nietzsche referred to Christianity as a form of nihilism.
117
This life is just a vehicle to get to the good place in the next one.
118
Plato and Socrates devalued the real world by putting ideas above how we experience life.
119
They used reason as a tool to judge life from an external point of view.
120
In Plato's allegory of the cave, he suggests that our sensory experience is like being trapped in a cave, looking at the shadows on the wall.
121
These shadows, for Plato, are illusions.
122
The real world, which for him was the world of ideas, exists outside of the cave.
123
Plato and Socrates ultimately suggest
124
that the world you experience is an error compared to the perfect world of ideas that can only be discovered through reason.
125
For Nietzsche, this is a big problem as it devalues the physical world
126
and makes it impossible to create values based on life.
127
Plato and Socrates would accuse those worldly values of just being shadows.
128
Nietzsche himself was not a nihilist.
129
He believed that nihilism was harmful to humanity, leaving people in a state of despair and directionlessness and prone to destructive tendencies.
130
He wanted to help humanity overcome nihilism and move towards something better.
131
To accomplish this, he identified two ways of responding to it.
132
Passively and actively.
133
The passive person finds no value in anything
134
and despairs at the lack of a greater purpose in a life that they feel they've lost.
135
They turn their back on existence and treat it as a punishment.
136
This was how Nietzsche described Buddhism, Hinduism, and Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy.
137
He rejected the idea that life is suffering or that being reborn is a punishment.
138
His response was to say yes to the world, to embrace it as it is beyond the structures we impose on it, such as religion, science, and even philosophy.
139
To actively respond to nihilism, we have to re-evaluate our lives and consistently and continually create new ones.
140
a constant process of deconstruction and creation.
141
If we don't continuously overcome values and norms, we risk nihilism again, as these values will eventually not reflect the lives we live.
142
For Nietzsche, these values needed to be aesthetic ones about life and vitality.
143
In other words, he wanted them to be life-affirming.
144
Logic and reason are too systematic.
145
Like Christianity, they place a superior dimension above our physical existence.
146
Nietzsche is often considered a moral nihilist, but that's not completely true, as we will see.
147
A moral nihilist believes that there are no absolute moral or ethical values.
148
When we talk about morality, we are actually just referring to social constructs, likely derived from emotions and power relations.
149
Nietzsche didn't believe in the absolute nature of moral values.
150
The universal morals that philosophers have formulated are better understood not as exercises of reason,
151
but as coming from that person's physiological or psychic state, as Nietzsche explains.
152
Every great philosophy so far has been the personal confessions of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious memoir.
153
When we read the moral works of philosophers Immanuel Kant or John Stuart Mill's, we learn not about universal ethical systems,
154
but about who we are.
155
Just as Nietzsche believed that we should always be constructing new values, we should also be working on moral values.
156
However, the idea is not to create values for everyone equally.
157
People are different and should embrace morals that are more suited to them.
158
Nietzsche believed in higher and lower types, for example, insisting that each should have their own moral value set.
159
Free will was always an issue for him.
160
Moral systems presume that people have free will and are able to choose between good and evil.
161
But Nietzsche, along with many modern scientists, doesn't believe that humans possess free will and are therefore not morally responsible for their own choices.
162
For the average person, this take on morality will come across as nihilism.
163
We are very used to thinking about this in terms of moral absolutes.
164
Our culture is still very informed by the long shadow of Western philosophy and religion.
165
for Nietzsche, the idea is to push beyond nihilism into a mode of value creation.
166
The philosopher was certainly bold for his time, but he wasn't the first thinker to question moral ideals.
167
Some of the earliest critiques of universal morals can be found over 2000 years ago in a Chinese religion.
168
Taoism is unique among religions in that it is uninterested in moral claims
169
or in any notion of a greater purpose that would inform our actions.
170
For the creators of Taoism, morality is an ineffective way to deal with our problems.
171
It's not particularly good, for example, at encouraging others to behave better, as righteousness often inspires the opposite,
172
and it only temporarily seems to soothe us like a painkiller.
173
Taoism instead suggests that morality comes from finding an outcome desirable
174
and wanting to repeat that outcome despite how futile that struggle will be.
175
When we try to eliminate what we consider morally bad, we're trying to control what we cannot control.
176
It's like demanding more flowers and less dirt where one requires the other.
177
For the Tao, moral ideals result in hypocrisy
178
and also an attitude of hostility to parts of ourselves that don't live up to our moral standards.
179
We often then project that hostility outward to target others who don't live up to our moral expectations.
180
That's why you often see morally righteous people targeting others while ultimately being hypocrites themselves.
181
According to Taoism, the source of our problems is that we are not following the great Tao or the Way.
182
You can follow this path through a series of practices such as taking non-deliberate action leading to a sort of harmony.
183
You accept the bounds of flour and dirt, and you don't demand more of one than the other.
184
Many would go on to describe Taoism as a form of moral nihilism, but just like with Nietzsche, that misses the point.
185
The religion rejects the notion of living with a greater purpose.
186
It's more about following a way than a purpose, and that is what creates harmony.
187
Beliefs are ultimately useless to the Tao.
188
However, However, this lack of a greater purpose or meaning is a difficult pill for many to swallow,
189
especially those with a background steeped in Christian and Western norms.
190
After Nietzsche described the death of God, many philosophers reckoned with the challenge of meaning.
191
This created a philosophical movement known as the atheist existentialism.
192
Life has no meaning.
193
There is no existential human nature and no grand purpose.
194
Existentialist writers in the 20th century wrestled with these conclusions, that the death of God had laid bare.
195
Without the illusions that society was built upon, we're left with nothingness.
196
We're in a state of nihilism.
197
Just like Nietzsche, philosophers of this movement tried to respond actively to nothingness.
198
The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre insists that because of our nihilist reality, we are condemned to be free.
199
We are thrown into this world with no default essence or purpose, and as a result, we are ultimately responsible for everything we do.
200
He goes on further to suggest that we are free in every moment.
201
Even when tied down with ropes, we are free to choose how we approach that situation.
202
When we stand on a bridge high above a body of water, some of us are struck with a fear not that we will accidentally fall, but that we'll throw ourselves off.
203
Sartre described this feeling as an anguish towards our freedom.
204
Nothing prevents us from throwing ourselves off.
205
We are always free to do so.
206
To live authentically, we have to take full responsibility for our freedom by choosing our own values
207
and how we live in general.
208
We can't appeal to a higher purpose and a pre-existing set of rules.
209
We have to choose for ourselves.
210
For Sartre, nihilism is the burden of freedom.
211
The French writer, Albert Camus, took a different approach to the concept of nothingness.
212
He found the idea of pursuing our own meaning or creating values to be self-defeating.
213
There's no escaping the absurdity of human life.
214
We yearn for meaning from a world that doesn't give us answers.
215
He compared human absurdity to Sisyphus's struggle.
216
In a Greek myth, Sisyphus was forced to push a boulder up a hill for eternity.
217
When he reached the top, the boulder fell right back down, and he had to start again.
218
For Camus, this struggle is just like our continual push for meaning.
219
Just when we think we've found a sense of purpose, it eludes us.
220
Life has no concrete answers for us, and the boulder rolls back down the hill.
221
Camus' answer to the problem of nothingness was to live facing absurdity directly.
222
We should confront nihilism by carrying on despite its consequences.
223
live authentically is to be fully conscious of the abyss and to defy it with our head held high, just like Sisyphus boldly marching down the mountain.
224
While atheist existentialists grappled with meaning in a world that offered none, postmodernist philosophers rejected any sort of metanarrative.
225
They would not entertain them or seek them out in some vain struggle.
226
Instead, they embraced nihilism in an almost cheerful way.
227
They were extremely skeptical of truth claims and moral hierarchies, and with this attitude they deconstructed how truth functions in society.
228
The French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard described these meta-narratives as language games that we use to make sense of the world.
229
These are fields like religion, science, and philosophy.
230
There's no all-encompassing order to the world that we can understand, we just have these language games to interpret it.
231
Lyotard believes that these games shouldn't compete for supremacy the way science sometimes is used to undermine religion.
232
He insisted that they should exist in paralogy, running alongside one another with no hierarchy.
233
Another French philosopher, Michel Foucault, described this process as a form of enlightenment.
234
We are freeing ourselves from the assumptions about knowledge that control our lives.
235
In his view, knowledge is not objective or neutral, it's shaped by power relations.
236
Power influences how knowledge is produced and even what is considered to be knowledge.
237
When producing researcher journalism, for example, we don't just freely follow our interests or act randomly.
238
Power determines what is an acceptable pursuit and what isn't.
239
Often, what is considered knowledge is determined by its economic value.
240
Does it make the institution you're operating in more revenue?
241
Does it free up space in the budget?
242
Does it draw an audience?
243
Via institutions, power uses knowledge to shape individuals, and as Foucault insists, this is to create compliant citizens.
244
This is why most institutions in society are designed like prisons.
245
The idea is that subjects in these places, such as schools or psychiatric wards, are either being observed or in a state where they are potentially watched at all times.
246
The individual then conforms their behavior under the assumption that they are being monitored and could be punished, even if they aren't necessarily always under that watchful eye.
247
What all post-modernism has in common is a near full embrace of nihilism, which aims to disassemble the larger narratives that control our lives.
248
It is an active deconstruction inspired by the likes of Nietzsche, only they weren't so much interested in creating new values.
249
The point is to free us from the imperfect knowledge
250
that insidiously controls our behavior in society and the many institutions that it comprises.
251
I've seen people online embrace something called optimistic nihilism, and I wanted to clarify what that is in the context of the categories that we've already discussed.
252
The basic idea is that life is meaningless, but that means that we're free to find joy and meaning wherever we please.
253
Some of you may have already realized that optimistic nihilism sounds awfully similar to existentialism, especially in Albert Camus' Absurdism.
254
And it is.
255
Except that the concept is much simpler
256
and perhaps created by people who are only so familiar with the history of existentialism and philosophy in general.
257
In our exploration of nihilism, there's a common thread in each classification.
258
The philosophers and writers involved don't consider themselves nihilists.
259
And given our close examination, we've demonstrated that they're not advocates for nothingness, but deal with it directly in their writing.
260
They bravely face the reality of nihilism and actively negotiate what to do despite its consequences.
261
But there is a notion of a true nihilism, one who sits in nothingness and passively lets it consume them.
262
This is what we call a postmodern nihilist.
263
Well, not to be confused with the postmodernists that we just discussed, although postmodernism is often referred to as postmodern nihilism.
264
I'm sorry if this is getting confusing.
265
They're described as being indifferent conformists who put all of their energy and effort into hedonistic endeavors.
266
They're deeply resentful and alienated, occasionally exploding into violence.
267
They have no sense of greater purpose and languish in its absence.
268
The philosophers who reckon with nihilism are generally trying to steer humanity away from becoming this kind of person.
269
Nietzsche described a similar type as, quotes, the last man.
270
People who preoccupy themselves with comforts and security while taking no risks.
271
You could also describe them as passive nihilists.
272
In Camus' book The Stranger, his main character, Mersot, finds no value in anything.
273
He's indifferent to his mother's passing and feels nothing in his relationships.
274
Mersot is also not emotionally impacted when he kills someone.
275
In the book, however, he eventually embraces the absurdity of life as he is about to be executed.
276
What is clear from every type of nihilism is
277
that those who engage with it were not interested in sitting idly in nothingness.
278
The point was always about navigating the world without a pre-existing purpose and universal truths.
279
Finding no value in anything is not a healthy way to be,
280
as Nietzsche famously said, He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
281
And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
282
When you spend so much time dwelling on nothingness, you slowly become it.
283
Finding value is important for your well-being.
284
It may not be a universal truth, but most of us will struggle as we sit in that abyss.
285
The lack of a greater truth was not the most interesting part about nihilism.
286
It is the opportunity to pursue new or just different truths separate from the narratives that have shaped the society around us.
287
The established truths we're accustomed to can be comforting for sure, but they can also alienate others and lead to dangerous convictions.
288
People kill for moral convictions all the time.
289
And you could argue that large-scale murder is often done for the sake of a deluded sense of morality.
290
But what if we're free to assign purpose to whatever we'd like?
291
Sometimes we belittle our interests because they don't contribute to a higher purpose that was instilled in us at a young age.
292
We may reject the idea of wandering aimlessly up a mountain because it doesn't improve our workplace skills.
293
We may reject friendships because our faith in God devalues the other person and their lifestyle.
294
As consumerists, we often indulge in the immediate pleasures of media consumption or video games
295
because they reflect an ingrained value that we have.
296
You work hard and you play hard.
297
Your consumption contributes to economic growth and so it has value.
298
Coming face to face with nihilism is a painful process that does open up new possibilities in our lives,
299
but it's not all misery.
300
It can also relieve pressure and anxiety from the demands of those higher purposes.
301
Most of us don't live up to the standards that are placed on us, and now we don't need to worry about it.
302
How is your career going by the way?
303
Don't answer that.
304
It doesn't matter.
305
What I want to know is how the texture of wet rocks makes you feel.
306
It's important to me, at least in this moment.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
