WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:02.360 --> 00:00:05.520 **Pewds Jams out peacefully** 00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:12.560 DOKI DOKI hello everyone and welcome to another month of. 00:00:13.269 --> 00:00:16.409 Pewdiepie's literature club THAT's RIGHT 00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:19.050 2018 is just full of surprises 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.719 I've been loving reading all your comments about 00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:25.590 suggestion and what you thought about my 00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:31.799 Suggestions and ideas and it's been a great time. I had a lot of fun reading this month as well 00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:33.840 We got a lot of stuff to go through 00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:35.840 Did you do your homework? 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:36.340 PAHA 00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:39.479 we're gonna discuss the books that I said I was gonna read I 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.759 Think I got all of them. Why don't we just jump into it? I really got to say though 00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:48.360 It's been so much fun and for me to discover 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.829 How much joy you can get out of reading, I know it sounds really uhm 00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:58.960 Maybe obvious, but you always hear people say oh, it's so important that we read and it's so 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:05.240 I wish more people would just read but people never say how fun it is to read it's like its completely forgotten 00:01:05.860 --> 00:01:07.860 I wanted to start off with 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.479 recommending this book 00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:11.820 called 'I am a Legend ' 00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:16.979 I think this is a great book if you haven't read anything in a while and don't really know what to get into 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:23.879 It's very light, and it's very gripping from the beginning to the end. It's a story about Robert Neville who is 00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:29.820 The last living man, and he's bunkered up in his home because at night 00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:37.619 Vampires come out and they want to- they want his blood. They want to kill him they sort of tease him and taunt him 00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:42.449 To get him out of his house because he's bunkered himself up in a way that they can't reach him 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:45.119 protecting himself with garlic and 00:01:46.509 --> 00:01:53.129 just following Neville in this horrible horrible scenario that the vampires want to kill him and 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.609 He can only go out during the day if it's sunny outside 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.619 Immersing myself into that horrible scenario was so wonderful in a way 00:02:01.619 --> 00:02:05.279 I don't know how to describe it otherwise. Neville is a scientist 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.959 so he's sort of try and make sense out of the situation and make sense out of the 00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:15.809 supernatural in a way thinking. Why are they afraid of garlic? Why? 00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:19.679 Do they only die if I poke him with a with a wooden pole? 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.510 It was just really interesting to follow and apparently this is the book that 00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:30.149 popularized, popuralized? popularized...anyway that made ad-pocalypse 00:02:30.670 --> 00:02:36.149 scenarios popular like the zombie fad or whatever. Which for someone 00:02:36.150 --> 00:02:38.910 that's so sick of that idea, this was 00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:47.280 Ironically so refreshing. You may be familiar with I am Legend because of the film with Will Smith and he does follow it pretty similarly 00:02:47.860 --> 00:02:50.819 Similarly?I CANT SPEAK but in the film 00:02:51.670 --> 00:02:53.230 They're zombies 00:02:53.230 --> 00:02:55.619 there were these weird zombie thing, but it's 00:02:56.170 --> 00:03:02.670 But it's like thEY'RE VAMPIRES. That's the point of the book. You can't just change that 00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:09.479 Completely miss the whole whole idea and the ending of of this book, which I won't spoil of course 00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:16.259 But I will tell you it was one of the it gave me chills it really hit me hard. It's a very 00:03:17.049 --> 00:03:21.989 clever and interesting ending that really stuck with me and I 00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:24.000 Loved it for it 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.069 I thought it was entertaining from the beginning to the end and that's why if you haven't read anything in a while 00:03:29.290 --> 00:03:35.760 You can definitely get into this if you don't mind reading a horror, and I'm giving this 5 out of 5 stars hooray 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:40.829 Next up we have Dune which oh boy 00:03:41.730 --> 00:03:47.850 I said I wanted to read more sci-fi so ton of you suggested that I would read Dune. This is apparently 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:53.320 What people say even here at the back? It says the greatest science fiction novel ever written 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.720 It's about this desert planet called Arrakis 00:03:58.320 --> 00:04:05.340 That contains the most valuable element in the universe which is the spice melange which is this 00:04:05.709 --> 00:04:07.709 Spice that can be used for many different things 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.080 But it gives you the ability to increase your lifespan 00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:17.000 It allows for interstellar travel to be possible, but to harvest this spice 00:04:17.820 --> 00:04:22.080 You do put yourself at risk from these giant earth worms 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:23.540 so 00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:30.999 And it's an extremely tough landscape, water is a currency in itself almost so it follows the story of 00:04:31.310 --> 00:04:37.929 Duke Leto Atreides, his wife lady Jessica and Paul who gets caught up in the conflict between the houses 00:04:38.630 --> 00:04:46.540 That are trying to fight over control over the planet because whoever controls the planet controls the universe because you control the spice 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.300 They get caught up in the conflict and that 00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:57.820 Sort of where the story takes speed in my opinion. It's weird because they really spoil a lot at the back of the book I 00:04:58.340 --> 00:05:05.050 Definitely don't recommend reading in the back of the book, but I was literally 200 pages in and I thought to myself 00:05:05.870 --> 00:05:07.240 This hasn't happened yet 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:14.890 We haven't gotten even here yet, so the book takes a long time a long time to really take speed in my opinion 00:05:14.890 --> 00:05:19.449 But what it does is an amazing journey that I love taking part of 00:05:20.390 --> 00:05:23.830 Unfortunately there are so many names and so many 00:05:24.140 --> 00:05:30.489 Concepts and so many characters that I got really lost the first few hundred pages 00:05:30.530 --> 00:05:35.950 I think that's why people love this book so much because it's so incredibly rich 00:05:35.990 --> 00:05:42.400 But since I didn't pay I think as close attention as I could have done I would have enjoyed the the last 00:05:43.340 --> 00:05:47.470 What is it, 300 pages a lot more if I had paid more attention. 00:05:47.990 --> 00:05:54.430 Because I constantly had to remind myself 'oh okay, what was that again? Oh okay..What was... what was that?' 00:05:54.430 --> 00:06:00.460 I kept forgetting and it was hard to -honestly, It was hard to keep track on it nevertheless. I loved it 00:06:00.460 --> 00:06:05.769 I loved following the journey it was badass to say the least it's interesting 00:06:05.770 --> 00:06:09.879 How Dune is such a popular and well-loved sci-fi? 00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:14.049 But it does have a film made out of it, it even has a game 00:06:14.050 --> 00:06:19.750 I think. Maybe I'm wrong, but it never got really as popular as a lot of what it inspired 00:06:20.090 --> 00:06:25.510 It clearly inspired to Star Wars. I can see a lot of resemblance. I think Game of Thrones even 00:06:27.320 --> 00:06:34.359 The creator of that even said himself that he was inspired by Dune. This clearly inspired so much of our entertainment, 00:06:34.870 --> 00:06:40.329 but it hasn't really reached that mass appeal. It's it's not nearly the biggest Star Wars 00:06:40.330 --> 00:06:45.279 I think someone said the reason why is because it doesn't really have 00:06:45.590 --> 00:06:52.149 What made sci-fi popular back at when it was written. It doesn't really have robots 00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:58.180 It doesn't really have computers and these were the things that people wanted out of sci-fi back in back iN THE DAY 00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:01.450 so it'd be interesting if Dune somehow makes a rebound and 00:07:02.390 --> 00:07:07.930 gets remade into another film and if that becomes popular or not that would be really interesting because 00:07:08.570 --> 00:07:15.280 or maybe a TV show or something like that since there's so many Arabic names you can have a diverse cast in there and 00:07:15.380 --> 00:07:21.189 Studios can pat themselves on the back and be like wow we did such a great job. It takes place in the desert. 00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:26.260 It's about harvesting the most important element in the universe controlled by the rich. 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:33.219 It has a bunch of Arabic references. Are you talking about oil perhaps Frankie, Frankie Herbie? 00:07:33.220 --> 00:07:40.450 I think this book can definitely be interpreted in different ways even though. It's really just a badass space adventure 00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:43.450 Given it four out of five stars 00:07:43.990 --> 00:07:48.819 Dune was the book I said, I was gonna read. Did you read it as well. Did you share my opinion about it? 00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:52.090 I'm not by any means saying what I think is right or wrong 00:07:53.210 --> 00:07:58.150 But it'd be interesting to know a lot of talking. I hope this is all right. I don't feel 00:07:58.700 --> 00:08:03.219 Feel very self-centered for me to do all the talking, but please do share your ideas as well 00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:07.690 I do wanna, I do want to hear it. Now moving on I wanted to read 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:16.450 Murakami, Kafka På Stranden, Kafka on the shore. I read this in Swedish because I wanted to brush up my Swedish 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:22.150 skills, which didn't really help. Kafka on the shore is the story about 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:24.320 self-fulfilling 00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:30.490 Prophecy it's a story about a young boy that runs away from home, and you follow him in one chapter 00:08:30.490 --> 00:08:34.449 And then he alternates to another character which is an old man 00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:41.329 Who's not very bright but he can talk to cats and he's looking for some things you have a character running away 00:08:41.329 --> 00:08:45.349 And then you have a character looking for something in it and one at the beginning of his life 00:08:45.349 --> 00:08:49.100 And one at the end of his life you sort of see their stories come together 00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:57.680 But the old man can talk to cats somehow, and it's a very very uh surreal story 00:08:57.900 --> 00:09:05.240 it almost feels like a dream at times when you follow it it is very honest and open about the fact that it's the story 00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:06.660 00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:13.040 retold in a way almost the story of the ancient greek mythology of Oedipus* 00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:14.660 I think it's called odaepuss (oedipus*)? 00:09:14.660 --> 00:09:19.460 Which if you're not familiar is it's the story about a king that was told to him 00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:23.839 a prophecy that his son would kill him and 00:09:24.509 --> 00:09:26.509 Take over his wife *light inhale* 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.240 (ahEH) and 00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:37.069 So he banishes his son to try and stop this prophecy, but the prophecy still gets 00:09:37.949 --> 00:09:43.938 eaeh fulfilled anyway he ends up- the son ends up killing his dad, and he ends up with his wife 00:09:44.310 --> 00:09:46.849 it's a very twisted sort of tale and 00:09:48.089 --> 00:09:50.089 So is this book. 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.599 uhm definitely. It's filled with the metaphors and 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.579 It's categorized into surrealism which I can definitely agree with 00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:04.250 Because of that I don't think this book is necessarily for everyone. I think with Murakami's 00:10:05.189 --> 00:10:10.129 storytelling it seems that the feeling is more important than the story the the mood 00:10:10.130 --> 00:10:15.229 and he spends a lot of time explaining and describing things that might seem trivial and 00:10:15.630 --> 00:10:19.039 That might be a bit tedious if you're not really on board 00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:26.240 But it's funny cause Murakami even admits this himself in the book. He sort of leaves you hints on how he thinks you should 00:10:26.910 --> 00:10:28.500 interpret 00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:30.949 Reading which I thought was pretty funny 00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:33.860 Murakami's presence is very clear in this book 00:10:34.290 --> 00:10:40.069 Which I actually really really like I feel like I'm learning who he is by reading his work. Which is really interesting 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:46.250 Even if you don't understand everything in the book and what it means, it you can still draw your own conclusion 00:10:46.250 --> 00:10:49.549 And if you're completely wrong that's okay, that's be- 00:10:49.550 --> 00:10:55.589 That's besides the point at least that's a hint I picked up on, another hint was how he really does love 00:10:56.110 --> 00:10:58.709 describing things that might seem trivial like I mentioned 00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:05.399 And he even mentions Dickens himself that he would spend I don't know 20 pages 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.339 just describing how a cabin looks like and 00:11:09.069 --> 00:11:14.999 You do get a lot of that in this book as well. I feel like I have to mention since it is the story of 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.259 self-fulfilling prophecy 00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:18.550 about 00:11:18.550 --> 00:11:24.389 Ending up with the wife- his mom, it does contain incest which genuinely 00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:27.659 Disgusted me. Now I, I know 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.180 Murikami he's a pervert and so am I but I did not appreciate those chapters 00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:36.509 I can't even pretend that I enjoyed it. It was just disgusting and 00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:44.060 Because of that I don't know if I should be recommending this book to everyone. I will rate this book 00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:50.600 still, four out of five. I still really loved it, and I I really look forward to reading more Murakami. 00:11:50.609 --> 00:11:53.860 I love his work. *clap* Are you still *clap* with me everybody? 00:11:54.670 --> 00:11:59.459 yEaaAh. Now after reading Dune and Murakami which are pretty hefty novels 00:11:59.459 --> 00:12:05.099 I wanted to read something more simple something lighter. I know I made other promises of books 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:05.730 I was gonna read 00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:12.269 But I I just I I thought I need to break with something so I decided to read American Psycho 00:12:12.610 --> 00:12:14.939 Which is a very dark 00:12:16.149 --> 00:12:18.149 satire comedy and 00:12:18.819 --> 00:12:22.109 It's about Patrick Bateman, which is this Wall Street 00:12:23.290 --> 00:12:28.680 Worker, who is rich. He is handsome. He's charming. He's successful 00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:33.209 He's great in every single way, but he's a psychopathic killer (yay) 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.689 So you basically get to follow the life of? 00:12:37.629 --> 00:12:45.149 Patrick Bateman his internal monologues what he goes through every single day and the interactions he has with other people and just 00:12:46.029 --> 00:12:51.958 Following that was so funny. I think there's like a whole chapter 00:12:51.970 --> 00:12:58.589 Just describing the brands of of the things in his apartment which might sound really boring, but it was hilarious 00:12:59.129 --> 00:13:03.419 I found myself laughing out loud so often while reading this which was 00:13:04.449 --> 00:13:09.719 Honestly great, what's really scary about this book, is that how much 00:13:10.540 --> 00:13:15.990 I don't think it's just me, I could really relate to Patrick Bateman. Maybe it's the YouTuber ego 00:13:15.990 --> 00:13:18.359 I really thought about that a lot 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:24.449 How I think we've all been in the situation where *has a moment* how do I describe this so I don't seem like a psychopath 00:13:24.730 --> 00:13:27.689 If you're in a line, and you're in a hurry you 00:13:28.209 --> 00:13:30.209 immediately start thinking of 00:13:30.370 --> 00:13:33.719 everyone else as a nuisance. They're in the way 00:13:34.029 --> 00:13:40.739 they're in your way to reach your goal since Patrick sees himself as such a perfect person as such a 00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:47.160 Elitist being he really sees everyone else as and as a shallow person 00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:53.160 they can't even be compared to him, and I think that's what becomes his demon because 00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:58.049 Because he puts himself in such high regard everyone else becomes completely insignificant 00:13:58.149 --> 00:14:01.138 And he -that becomes his pain 00:14:01.209 --> 00:14:08.459 He wants other people to feel that pain, and it goes extremely dark and extremely graphic with its 00:14:09.069 --> 00:14:14.159 Violence and gore. To me, I can understand if that would turn some people off, and I don't think I'm like 00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:16.800 'Oh I'm so edgy, I don't care', but it wasn't really that 00:14:17.529 --> 00:14:21.029 Bad I guess I don't know it doesn't go on overboard at least 00:14:21.029 --> 00:14:25.109 It's very interesting to me how even though he's a psychopathic killer 00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:27.360 You still really like him. 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.959 and I thought a lot about 00:14:28.959 --> 00:14:35.188 Why that is, why do you like this horrible person. Is it because we do care so much about these? 00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:38.248 positive traits that he does have like he's handsome and 00:14:39.189 --> 00:14:44.099 Sophisticated and rich, or is it because you sort of just get attached because you follow along 00:14:44.100 --> 00:14:49.139 I don't know, but it's an interesting question number tha less and it's a great piece of satire 00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:54.329 And I really loved it four out of five. I recommend if you want to read a comedy 00:14:55.959 --> 00:14:57.610 neXT 00:14:57.610 --> 00:15:02.909 BOOK. This is a book that I said I was gonna read, and I think a lot of you 00:15:02.920 --> 00:15:07.979 Hopefully picked up as well because I would love to discuss this with someone, that has read it 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:11.159 It's live 3.0 from Max Tegmark 00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:15.800 Which is a Swedish professor at MIT in Boston I think (it's actually in Cambridge, MA but shhhhh) 00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:22.880 He does a lot of AI research. I wanted to read this book to learn more about AI and Max really describes 00:15:23.850 --> 00:15:28.459 The problem that media has really twisted the idea what we think AI is 00:15:29.370 --> 00:15:34.069 with movies and such and anytime AI is being spoken up you have the 00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:37.279 the Terminator robots with the red eyes 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:42.619 And I think I think even in my AI video that I made I put that as the thumbnail 00:15:43.050 --> 00:15:46.069 Which is very cringe-worthy now after reading this book? 00:15:46.829 --> 00:15:48.829 but nevertheless 00:15:48.959 --> 00:15:54.709 He's explaining that that's not how a AI is going to be at all and he goes through every 00:15:55.500 --> 00:16:00.559 Single aspect of how if we invent AI that is smarter than a human 00:16:01.079 --> 00:16:07.549 What sort of consequence that is going to be. AI can obviously bring us a lot of positive and good things? 00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:13.639 But there's a lot of unanswered questions that we haven't dealt with yet, then and some questions that are very tough 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:17.329 But just because they're tough doesn't mean we shouldn't think about them 00:16:17.670 --> 00:16:23.930 Professors and researchers in AI are all kind of torn on the issue some people say oh 00:16:24.689 --> 00:16:27.859 We will invent AI smarter than human beings in 00:16:28.829 --> 00:16:35.059 a 100 years and some people are saying no it won't happen until maybe a thousand years and some people saying no 00:16:35.579 --> 00:16:36.990 we will never 00:16:36.990 --> 00:16:39.589 Be able to do that. Theoretically it's possible 00:16:39.990 --> 00:16:46.459 it's not an impossible thing and if we do invent AI that is smarter than human beings that is going to have a 00:16:46.709 --> 00:16:53.388 massive impact on humanity people are saying it's gonna be the last invention that mankind will need to make and 00:16:53.850 --> 00:16:55.850 It's going to not just shape. 00:16:57.329 --> 00:17:00.289 Humanity, but also the entire universe and. 00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:04.490 Following all these steps in the book was so... 00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:07.520 interesting and so 00:17:07.919 --> 00:17:10.339 Immersive it felt almost like reading a sci-fi 00:17:11.459 --> 00:17:13.999 Because some of the things discuss are just so 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:20.630 Unbelievable the reason why it's important that we discuss these ideas about AI now, is that 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:27.709 Sure, we invented the fire, and then we invented the fire extinguisher afterwards, but in the case of AI 00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:31.400 the damage of not being prepared 00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:34.130 could lead to 00:17:34.230 --> 00:17:36.090 Consequences that are way beyond us 00:17:36.090 --> 00:17:40.789 so we need to start discussing these ideas now the sooner the better basically and 00:17:41.130 --> 00:17:47.569 It's interesting cuz apparently this sort of issue with AI has been a very niche idea for a long time 00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:53.870 And it's not until recently and with the outcoming of this book as well that it's it's again, 00:17:54.270 --> 00:18:01.759 Thankfully gotten speed. I think keeping that in mind. This book is incredibly important basically Max talks about 00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:05.870 way before we even existed in microorganisms 00:18:05.909 --> 00:18:10.129 And the very first set of life and then going literally 00:18:10.350 --> 00:18:14.959 billions of years into the future and even to the end of the universe and uhh 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.960 these were the chapters that i 00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:23.959 loved. The ending chapters, so fascinating I feel, I feel 00:18:24.690 --> 00:18:31.490 Dumbfounded almost by so much of space that I had no idea about and I think a lot of people actually don't either 00:18:32.610 --> 00:18:34.140 discussing the 00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:37.039 hypothetical ideas of about dyson spehres 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:43.789 And how we could gather energy in a more efficient way from black holes and all these things that just seemed so 00:18:44.070 --> 00:18:46.070 impossible, but theoretically 00:18:46.260 --> 00:18:47.480 Theoretically, they're possible 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.360 But now with the idea that AI might be might be. 00:18:50.850 --> 00:18:57.350 Thing in the future it actually seemed like that could actually be a thing and that's so cool learning about dark matter 00:18:57.350 --> 00:19:01.819 which I had no idea about and how we don't even understand what it is really and 00:19:02.340 --> 00:19:04.669 What implications it has on what, 00:19:05.190 --> 00:19:10.400 where we can actually reach in space and in our universe learning about O'Neill cylinders. 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.009 which I've seen in like Si-fi's and such 00:19:13.230 --> 00:19:18.260 I didn't know there were things so basically if you look up you'll have the Sun in the sky even though 00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:22.339 You're living in this. I don't know weird structure in space orbiting 00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:24.940 so cool 00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:26.940 aAAEH 00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:31.999 Maxwell's talks about conscience, which I thought was really interesting because you're almost getting into 00:19:32.789 --> 00:19:34.879 philosophical area of what does it mean 00:19:35.990 --> 00:19:39.679 to have conscience can we outrule the fact that AI 00:19:40.170 --> 00:19:43.849 will have conscience or not, how do we define it? all these things 00:19:43.850 --> 00:19:47.300 I was very very intrigued by and I want to give this a five star (me too) 00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:52.069 I feel like I should but at the same time when you're discussing a hypothetical scenario 00:19:52.679 --> 00:19:56.449 Or some scenario that he admits may or may not ever happen 00:19:56.670 --> 00:20:04.069 I think Max really wanted to address every single issue with AI. He he really lays it all out on the table 00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:11.599 But I found it sometimes to be a bit tedious, and I wish he spent more time on other bits 00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:17.870 But I also understand why he did that and I also think that's it led to me unexpectedly 00:20:18.270 --> 00:20:20.300 enjoy bits that I 00:20:20.760 --> 00:20:22.939 Didn't think I would so. Great book 00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:27.290 Really recommend it that if you're interested in this sort of things we have one more book guys 00:20:27.290 --> 00:20:32.839 And it's another book that I said I was gonna read we have Beyond Good and Evil with Frederick Nietzsche 00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:37.640 and oh how naive I was to think that I could read Nietzsche 00:20:38.970 --> 00:20:44.300 I wanted to read this because I heard so much about Nietzsche, and I wanted to leave- uh read philosophy I 00:20:45.179 --> 00:20:48.169 Read a lot of comments about it people saying dude 00:20:48.170 --> 00:20:52.909 you can't just jump right into beyond good and evil, you need to sort of ease your way into it and 00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:56.089 It sort of made me almost scared of reading it 00:20:56.090 --> 00:21:01.130 I was like should I even bother like what's the point. But I thought to myself 'hey, I said 00:21:01.130 --> 00:21:05.780 I was gonna read the book. I bought the book. Why not you know even if it's too 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.150 Complex for me. Why not give it a try?'and so I tried my very best 00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:13.910 immediate to - 00:21:13.950 --> 00:21:16.340 Faced with two issues which is the language? 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:23.360 I think I would have done better if I read this in Swedish, maybe I had to constantly look up words then again, He also 00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:26.210 right off the bat starts off by 00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:28.650 analyzing other philosophers 00:21:28.650 --> 00:21:34.759 Which I'm not familiar with so it was really hard for me to really understand what he's trying to convey just 00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:38.240 From the beginning. I was like whoa okay, and 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.880 But nevertheless there were bits that I really did pick up on that. I thought were really interesting for example, 00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:48.740 He points out that when we look at things like a tree for example 00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:51.269 We don't really look at all the details of it 00:21:51.269 --> 00:21:54.539 We sort of we don't look at the leaves necessarily in all the branches 00:21:54.639 --> 00:22:01.979 And he says, Nietzsche says we do the same thing when we read something we sort of pick the words that we can 00:22:02.919 --> 00:22:08.879 Associate with things that we think we know already he Nietzsche points out that in that sense 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.840 We're all artists 00:22:09.840 --> 00:22:16.590 And we're all inventors because our knowledge is actually our own make-belief which I thought was so true 00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:22.199 While trying to interpret this book because the things that I actually really picked up on where the things that I could 00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:25.379 Associate with things I already I already knew 00:22:26.409 --> 00:22:30.479 Which is very interesting Nietzsche believes that philosophy is 00:22:31.990 --> 00:22:33.990 The philosopher's 00:22:34.419 --> 00:22:36.689 confession of his character in a way and 00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:41.609 You know, I wish I may not understand everything that was in this book 00:22:41.610 --> 00:22:48.360 But I do know that a lot of people love Nietzsche. I felt like I could understand why people love his character because he's very 00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:54.839 Present in this book. He's very charming, I would say. Obviously there's a lot of in this about religion 00:22:54.850 --> 00:22:57.389 he talks about how we're 00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:01.048 We're atheists, but we're still religious 00:23:01.049 --> 00:23:07.679 And he points out how we we don't really look at God as father figure anymore 00:23:07.679 --> 00:23:09.679 And we sort of replaced our 00:23:10.090 --> 00:23:14.220 Religion with science which is *diva* oh my god so true? 00:23:15.129 --> 00:23:16.960 stupid neil degrasse *angery* 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.279 tyson *intense gargling* 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:24.089 there was a lot of bits that I didn't understand at all especially the chapters about race I 00:23:24.340 --> 00:23:30.059 talks about the German race and how complex it is and talked a lot about the Jews and I 00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:34.500 Didn't really understand what he was trying to say, but what I do really like about Nietzsche 00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:39.659 Which I think I understand at least is that he's ideas come from a realist point of view 00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:45.509 And he criticized other philosophers that sort of try and make you feel good with their poetic 00:23:46.029 --> 00:23:49.109 Ideas almost, but he wants you to analyze 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:54.240 What your thoughts are and where they're coming from and he also recognizes that 00:23:54.990 --> 00:24:00.500 We might think we know what the motive is behind our intentions of actions 00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:04.369 But it's actually far more complex than we think it is, which I find myself, 00:24:05.250 --> 00:24:11.329 after reading this, trying to question myself more and what, what the motive behind 00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:19.519 My intentions are (money) and and it's been a really fun mental exercise for me to try and do actually so I'm really glad 00:24:20.490 --> 00:24:27.109 Despite this being clearly above my league- reading comprehension. I'm really glad. I still gave it a try and I didn't run away 00:24:28.110 --> 00:24:30.919 scared of it, so did you read it perhaps? 00:24:31.530 --> 00:24:36.259 Did you share my ideas? What did you pick up on? What was your knowledge? 00:24:36.260 --> 00:24:42.379 I had so much fun this month too while reading these and I had a lot of fun today 00:24:43.289 --> 00:24:49.189 Discussing these books with you. Thank you for for letting me do that and break away from- to something different 00:24:49.190 --> 00:24:53.570 I made a list of the things that I want us to read next month 00:24:53.570 --> 00:24:58.549 I really wanted to read Moby Dick just an old classic thought might be good 00:24:58.549 --> 00:25:02.449 I wanted to read another classic which is, my eye is so itchy 00:25:02.450 --> 00:25:09.530 im sorry, the Old Man and the sea I also wanted to read another philosophy and a lot of people 00:25:10.230 --> 00:25:18.169 suggested Man's Search For Meaning. I thought as well if you maybe don't feel like reading something as long or 00:25:19.230 --> 00:25:25.490 Something like that we would read a Murikami short story, so I thought we would read Toni 00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:28.940 Takitani, so maybe we can discuss some aeeh 00:25:29.669 --> 00:25:35.149 Short stories where Murikami has amazing short stories, and I think that's probably one of his strengths. That's it 00:25:35.150 --> 00:25:39.589 I'll see you guys next month and let me know if you picked up any of my recommendations 00:25:39.590 --> 00:25:46.429 Or if you're going to join me along on on these novels and yeah, thanks again really appreciate it 00:25:46.429 --> 00:25:49.339 please do leave a like if you enjoyed and made it this far and 00:25:50.970 --> 00:25:52.970 aHeH brofist
