    Can you please do Orphism?

    I really like this channel’s content; it’s interesting, informative and well edited. But I hate how the woman talks to me as if I’m 5 lol

    Is there any relationship between Dada and Absurdism, i.e. existentialism? Are they even on the same branch of the evolutionary tree from early twentieth century thought to mid twentieth century? Regardless, great channel!!! 👍👍

    Accepting that there is no meaning is relaxing but its responsibility is very devastative

    Always love binge watching Curious Muse videos on rainy nights! So informative and enjoyable! Thanks for all the hard work, guys.

    THIS VIDEO SHOULD NOT BE MARKED "RESTRICTED." YOUR ALGORITHM IS BLOCKING ACCESS TO THIS VIDEO FOR MY PHILOSOPHY STUDENTS! GOOGLE…. PLEASE FIX THIS>

    thank you <3 btw I’m here because of Avenged Sevenfold

  12. @hueyahumana on October 20, 2025 at 12:14 am

    Please, more of Facticity and anti-heroes.

  13. @SquizzMe on October 20, 2025 at 12:19 am

    Meh. Not the wisest of philosophies. Living for the moment doesn’t usually sit very well with "taking full responsibility". And ‘subjective morality’ is often socially destructive.

    I just discovered you guys. I studied a bit of art history early uni days but then transported myself to economics, which I took right to, but am still an artist. At first I had to give up art to be able to shift my mind to economics, but the math binds and brought me back to it. My disabilities have required me to rethink and rethink how I approach my existence, authentically many times over. Tonight, for example, I’m having a very limited movement evening and that’s how I found your channel, as I’ve been using ai to express myself but this has brought me back into curiosity about the people who make art over the ages. Anyway, I love your videos so far, so easy to digest, right my speed, thank you.

    Thanks for this. Requesting you to do a video on “existentialism and our consciousness”… Best regards…

  16. @t.rahman1209 on October 20, 2025 at 12:20 am

    Waiting!

  17. @fredkrissman6527 on October 20, 2025 at 12:21 am

    You could have saved me the misery of reading Jean-Paul Sartre’s "Being & Nothingness" if I’d seen this vid during my college daze…
    But, perhaps that tome was actually written before Sartre’s adoption of existential philosophy. All I know is that the book was the most dreary slog I ever endured!

  18. @mands4129 on October 20, 2025 at 12:22 am

    After the is video I think I may have confused existentialism with nihilism. 😅.

  19. @cubicle32 on October 20, 2025 at 12:26 am

    Using pop culture to explain life (Batman reference) is like using a black background with white dots to explain the galaxy.

    There’s no such thing as one philosophy to explain life, its meaning or purpose.

    It’s time spent alone pondering our experiences, desires, and our environment to sort it out for ourselves. In fact, it’s our overarching purpose.

  20. @Damage_r on October 20, 2025 at 12:26 am

    hey, you guys make pretty good videos. You should make some videos on Russian and cube futurism as well as on stop motion automation. just some suggestions for ya 🙂

  21. @dahakragic on October 20, 2025 at 12:27 am

    Yes! More philosophy please!

  22. @doubrou8031 on October 20, 2025 at 12:27 am

    Sorry,what ?….I expected something more than a movie reviews from this channel,maybe you guys should stick to architecture and art.

  23. @옹이뉴키 on October 20, 2025 at 12:29 am

    I’ve never been religious in my life, and I know nothing about God or something like that and how they may be involved in lots of happenings in life.
    I believe I’m a perfect enthusiast in my acclamation of freedom and its attendant responsibility. That’s why how to live is important.
    You are the one who should make your own decision and be responsible for what you’ve done. Well, I’ve much to say about this subject. hehe.
    Well, you can’t always live with the ease of a flying bird, but still life shouldn’t be too heavy. I would say. 🙂
    Thank you as usual..😁
