The Place Beyond The Pines is a profound film of heartfelt beauty and poignance. In this video essay, I explore what it tells us about poverty & meritocracy from an existentialist perspective. --------------------------------------- 🚀 Join The Mastermind Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-sam... https://medium.com/@trahulsam https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ {Reference Links} - {Music Used} Mike Patton - The Snow Angel Epidemic Sound: https://bit.ly/2T22q6V {Images & Videos used} Clips taken from The Place Beyond the Pines (Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Electric City Entertainment Verisimilitude) https://youtu.be/HBV3Z7eQNLM https://youtu.be/xfxK0FVJKDc https://youtu.be/c0wH6YDfCzg https://youtu.be/kzVJBSDaqZw https://youtu.be/AjVzZynGt4o https://youtu.be/LI4ueUtkRQ0 --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this channel evoke your interest, consider visiting REALM: https://www.realmprojectau.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

As I did a computer science degree, I never learned how to write formally; ergo, Jordan Peterson’s essay writing guiding has been an invaluable resource for my writing. So, I decided to create this video summarising the whole guide in hopes of it being even more palatable through this forum.

Chesterton's fence is an excellent heuristic on 2nd order thinking but, more importantly, a warning against casual, thoughtless and cavalier revolution. “In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, ‘I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.’ To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: ‘If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.’” --------------------------------------- 🚀 Join The Mastermind Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-sam... https://medium.com/@trahulsam https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ {Reference Links} https://fs.blog/2020/03/chestertons-fence/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342466678_Notes_on_Piaget_Inhelder's_Formal_Operational_Stage_as_a_Messianic_Stage/citation/download Essay: https://d2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/15471/documents/2016/10/G.K.Chesterton-The%20Thing.pdf {Music Used} Epidemic Sound: https://bit.ly/2T22q6V {Images & Videos used} https://youtu.be/fox8yFoNynY https://youtu.be/B_UZyT0nShI https://youtu.be/I1JWr4G8YLM https://youtu.be/7V6TtUSbbpc\ https://youtu.be/uX9G5Lk3Rnk --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this channel evoke your interest, consider visiting REALM: https://www.realmprojectau.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Silence (2016), an adaptation of Shusaku Endo’s Novel, was Martin Scorsese’s third religious film, and in my option, it’s one of his best. In this video essay, using ideas by thinkers such as Slavoj Žižek, Jordan Peterson, John Vervaeke, Albert Camus, Carl Jung and Søren Kierkegaard, I try to demonstrate how the religious matters—questions of “Ultimate Concern”, as Paul Tillich would say—are an eminently real part of our lives and not just for ancient people. Quotes used in this video: “The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.” — Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” ― Richard Dawkins There is a fine old·story about a student who came to a rabbi and said, “In the olden days there were men who saw the face of God. Why don’t they any more?” The rabbi replied, “Because nowadays no one can stoop so low.” ― Memories, Dreams, Reflections “No camp can corrupt those who have a stable nucleus, who do not accept that pitiful ideol­ogy which holds that “human beings are created for happiness,” an ideology which is done in by the first blow of the work assigner’s cudgel… Tatyana Falike writes: “Observation of people convinced me that no man could become a scoun­drel in camp if he had not been one before.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago “Only those who suffer are good, only the poor, the powerless, the lowly are good; the suffering, the deprived, the sick, the ugly, are the only pious people, the only ones saved, salvation is for them alone, whereas you rich, the noble and powerful, you are eternally wicked, cruel, lustful, insatiate, godless, you will also be eternally wretched, cursed and damned!” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals “And this is one of the most crucial definitions for the whole of Christianity; that the opposite of sin is not virtue but faith.” ― Søren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition for Upbuilding and Awakening “Even if the act of faith includes the denial of God. Where there is ultimate concern, God can be denied only in the name of God.” ― Paul Tillich, Dynamics of faith Book Scripture: But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. (Job 5:15-16) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9) --------------------------------------- 🚀 Join The Mastermind Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-sam... https://medium.com/@trahulsam https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ {Reference Links} https://www.qcc.cuny.edu/socialsciences/ppecorino/phil_of_religion_text/chapter_10_definition/the-definition-of-religion.htm {Music Used} Epidemic Sound: https://bit.ly/2T22q6V Meditation - Kathryn Kluge, Kim Allen Kluge & Francesco Lupica: https://youtu.be/mEX_eAtdSMY Álbum: Silence: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Compositor: Kathryn Kluge, Kim Allen Kluge & Francesco Lupica Año: 2017 {Images & Videos used} https://youtu.be/hdrLQ7DpiWs https://youtu.be/SKzpj0Ev8Xs https://youtu.be/KoqibFwvQJ4 https://youtu.be/TEuY46p5yH4 https://youtu.be/JkpRqxKbgF8 https://youtu.be/k_ieBIVLeRs https://youtu.be/TbYiGdinejU https://youtu.be/-xG3UGetZro https://youtu.be/wb4HCoUgZgg https://youtu.be/OD16TqLaZe0 https://youtu.be/YPdiQy2mkgM https://youtu.be/riikR_LBfE4 https://youtu.be/gmXTUSP9a9M https://youtu.be/CkXAIdrs4Fc https://youtu.be/yqpl6srevns Most clips were taken from Silence (2016) --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this channel evoke your interest, consider visiting REALM: https://www.realmprojectau.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
