   Number 1: Nihilism: Embracing the Void of Existence | Einzelgänger

   Nihilism: Embracing the Void of Existence Why are we here? What are we supposed to do? What’s the goal? What’s the meaning of all this? Without Christianity to guide us, the West now faces a void - a nothingness. If there’s no God to guide us, no Afterlife to suffer for, and no divine purpose, then what’s the point of living?Even though Nietzsche was highly critical of Christianity (seeing it as a “lifedenying” force), he acknowledged the danger of its decline: nihilism. Nihilism is the belief that nothing matters: the belief in nothing. This video explores nihilism and possible solutions by Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus.Video: Nihilism: Embracing the Void of ExistenceSupport the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?

   Number 2: Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy | The Philosophy of Cobra Kai | Einzelgänger

   Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy | The Philosophy of Cobra Kai It’s not just to reignite his old passion for karate and to avenge his old nemesis Daniel LaRusso. One of the reasons why Johnny Lawrence reopens his old dojo Cobra Kai is that he believes that by doing so he can give today’s youth exactly what they need: the way of the fist.After saving his teenage neighbor Miguel from a group of bullies, Johnny realizes how soft many of today’s children actually are. This image is confirmed to him when a group of social rejects arrives at his dojo, who are desperate to toughen up, so they can awake “the snake within” and strike back at those who’ve humiliated them. Luckily, Johnny provides the recipe that does the job: the offensive, nononsense karate that he was taught as a kid, based on a simple philosophy: strike first, strike hard, no mercy.Cobra Kai represents the active, aggressive part of existence. And for many people, its philosophy is appealing, because it’s about pushing boundaries, crushing fears, and focusing on achievement and conquest; things that far exceed the dojo. As Johnny Lawrence states: “Cobra Kai isn’t just about karate. It’s about a way of life.” So, aside from physical fights, how can such a philosophy benefit our very lives? And what are the downsides and dangers of “the way of the fist?” This video explores the philosophy of Cobra Kai, and why we need balance in our lives.Support the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?

   Number 3: We Don’t Want Pleasure; We Just Want the Pain to End | Einzelgänger

   We Don’t Want Pleasure; We Just Want the Pain to End Could it be that our culture of consumerism has it all wrong? Could it be that our ongoing pursuits of pleasure send us in the wrong direction? Do we want what we want or not? And, if not, does wanting the things we don’t want remove us further from what we actually want?Video: We Don’t Want Pleasure; We Just Want the Pain to End | On ConsumerismSupport the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?
