Nietzsche on the Three Styles of Thinking and Philosophy
This Living Philosophy video is about the three types of style that Nietzsche has uses: gangasrotagati, kurmagati and mandeikagati. The first is the central characteristic of Nietzsche's thinking, the second is the scholarly mode of thinking and the third relates to the leaps forward of paradigm shifts. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM3FGt1fMIA
The View From Above is a Stoic philosophy out of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations book. It is tied in with an idea from Plato - to view people and the world from above from a height in order to achieve the correct pathos of distance as Nietzsche would say to feel elevated enough to take stock and have perspective. This episode is part personal reflection on an experience I had whilst out on a walk the other day and part philosophical reflection on the words of Marcus Aurelius. Part Stoic quote part Stoic affirmations the View From Above draws on Marcus Aurelius quotes to give you a more cosmic perspective on life's challenges to wash away the mud of life.

It has become common to appeal to our evolutionary past to justify present ideologies. In this episode we are honing in on a vegan account of human diet and contrasting it with a less ideologically motivated piece published by The Atlantic.
There's a few interesting discoveries to be had. For one it's always interesting to see how subtle warpings of facts can lead to very different perspectives. It's also interesting to contemplate what such work tells us about the worldview of the writer. It's also interesting to see how evolutionary arguments are misused in the name of an agenda.
All of this comes into play with this PETA article on veganism but there's a mirror of this sort of ideological work going on among the Carnivore and Paleo subcultures online.

Humanity has been getting a bad rap recently on account of the global impact of our technological revolution. Some say humanity is unnatural but we disagree. In this Living Philosophy video, we talk about an alternative (and positive) way of viewing humanity's place in the global ecosystem. This is the pursuit of a vision which integrates the negative and positive aspects of Progress to create a healthier future for humanity. This is the vision of humanity as an interstellar dandelion seed.

If Jed McKenna is bulshitting us about being enlightened does it invalidate his writings? It's an important question that applies to all spiritual teachers and it's exactly what we are going to explore on the Living Philosophy's Psychology of Spirituality series.

God is dead is one of the most notorious lines in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. But it is commonly mistaken for a modernist sentiment proclaiming the death of Christianity’s God. But that is not what Nietzsche intended. It was not a declaration of atheism; atheism was already a trivial point of view (if still controversial) by the end of the 19th century. Nietzsche was not echoing a common sentiment but pushing beyond to its unseen implications.
Nietzsche was pioneering the postmodern perspective. This is obvious from the aphorism it occurs in. In The Gay Science Nietzsche tells the parable of the madman who declares the death of God. The madman’s audience are not religious believers or members of the Church as one would expect from a declaration of God’s death. The audience was a crowd of jeering non-believers. This points to the real intention of Nietzsche’s statement.
In this episode we are going to explore the meaning of this statement in light of this insight and see what exactly Nietzsche meant by his provocative statement that God is dead and we have killed him.

Cities get a bad name. The city as an ecosystem is our topic for today and we are going to explore where cities belong in the realm of nature. They are not unnatural as many naysayers will tell you. They are future harbingers of new niches of life. Give them time. Already we see the pioneering rats, pigeons, grass and ivy stake their claim.
On the other hand we will see cities growing back towards nature and see more greenery and trees occupying the city centres of our urban developments because it makes us feel more harmonious and serves an aesthetic purpose.

Why does God manifest so differently in the three Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam despite all growing from the same root? That's what this episode of The Living Philosophy explores where we take a look at the different cultural contexts behind the evolution of each religion and see how the God that is revealed is a match for the God that the culture needs for the next step of its evolution. We will find the reason for the strange evolution of God that happens between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Why does a God evolve? Let's find out.
