02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMMaybe we are all different spatial events within the one existence/substance and not existents.
@CapnSnackbeard
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMDialectical monism posits that everything and nothing intersect, and reality is in the liminal space between. Everything (ultimate undifferentiated being) and nothing (ultimate undifferentiated beinglessness) define one another through the membrane of reality. While unpopular in the west, this (or something approximating it) is not an unpopular view among other people. Probably because it is neat, self contained, invites curiosity, and rewards reflection and introspection, yet defies taxonomy and yields no answers. Certainly not the kind of answers that careers are made of. Foreign and anti-exploitative notions have no business in western philosophy because they are bad for business.
@coreylapinas1000
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMI think there are two objects, nothing and everything else.
@1776FREE2
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMThis is the philosophy of Parmenides. Both absurd and mind bending. I have never seem it explained so well!
A difficult philosophy to genuinely reconcile in one’s mind. I AM
@markpatrick2735
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMok so all objects appear to be experiential objects within the individual field of consciousness. consciousness then is the prime "object" and all other "objects" are in fact "composed" of consciousness. now if only I could define what I mean by consciousness…😁

@eleftheriosepikuridis9110
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMCould you cover substance Monism (of the spinozist or deleuzian kind) in the future?
@tintintin070
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMit's interesting how both western and eastern philosophies touched on the same concepts without having had much awareness of one another
@sayanjitb
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMso do these two category characterize a monist philosophy?
@The1WhoCares
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMI bet its priority moanism
@dustymingus2599
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMExistence monism = property dualism?

@athamas1294
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMMan will you please cover the following forms of Monism as well?🙏🏻
Substance, attributive, partial, property, genus and absolute
I can't find any plain explanation about them on the whole internet
@tongmaa
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMWell, this 1+1 2 3 … sounds like 'Monism' that attempted to have one of many one 'gods' with attributes. We might presume that there is one god without any knowable attributes, but can't assume that there is one god with infinite attributes and, or many. So, God is one and no knowable attributes … do I win? 🙂
@laxmanrao4554
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMExistential monism. Everything is a part of one object. The nature.
@NwoDispatcher
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMWhat do they mean by object?
@acephilosopher9186
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMAs someone sympathetic to priority monism, let me clear up some of your information. Priority monism allows for the existence of a multitude of objects but claims there is only one basic/fundamental object (typically just the cosmos). Priority monism does NOT entail existence monism. The proper parts of the cosmos are non-fundamental/derivative entities of the cosmos–they are "integrated parts"); nevertheless, they do exist. Also, certain objects can exist without being proper parts of the cosmos, just so long as they are somehow grounded in the cosmos. For example, I am not identical to any subregion of the cosmos even though I am grounded in the cosmos.
@aasyjepale5210
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMFun fact: "moni" in Finnish translates to "many (people)"
@wegotonelove
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMThis idea of existence formed very young in my youth.. I saw the soul as holograms – like many heads on one person but the same head

02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMPerhaps you could use a compressor on your vocal recording. The levels are disturbing and make it difficult to listen to.

@Lucus11-11
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMIs the difference say like the liver and heart where they both are obviously different but have the same over all function, and is constantly moving like your blood flow or neurons firing off.
@fanimeproductionst.v.3735
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMThe subtle difference is so freaking hard….
@ElmersWorld
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMso it's only a difference in opinion of words really no different meanings whatsoever
@metatron4890
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMIf you think there is only one thing and that that thing is not made of parts, but is of one essence then does that make you an existential monist?
@rarelife1
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMThanks for the explanation.
@HitomiAyumu
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMYour persona is so…. geeky virgin like.
@hazbotfm3492
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMAlan Watts sounds like a monist ("the universe peoples")
@melkor321
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMobviously there is more than just an object if it has inner complexity. there must be mechanisms that explains this complexity. monism seems like an excuse to forget the ontology behind this complexity. seems like a useless view that really achieves nothing.
@kurtlockwood
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMIts not pronounced "moan-ism," its pronounced like "monostereo," from "mono," meaning one.
@TheBlidget
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMHow would something like string theory relate to existence monism?
@arthur-2542
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMok so me and my friends are split on a topic. we just call it the Ham sandwich. This is because we use a Ham sandwich to describe it. so if I where to make a sandwich and put bread, Ham, bread that would be my sandwich. now I cut it in half I have 2 parts of a sandwich. now I am going to make another but instead this time I cut the bread and Ham in half before putting it together them together. then I assemble them. I would have 2 smaller sandwiches. what make it count as a whole. if half if the first and a whole of the second are exactly alike what makes them count as a half or whole. this video just reminded me of this. 🙂

02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMCan you make a video on the philosophical definition of religion?
@I_Am_Midnight-i
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMMentioning existence nihilism in the video is nothing but waste of time. I dont know why you would put it in there. Anyone who claims there is no objects are clearly deluding themselves as object/objects are fact, even if they are not the ultimate reality, they are still fact and therefore exist. Pathetic.
@MonisticIdealism
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMIt seems that if one is committed to irreducible consciousness, mental causation, and monism, then one can run an argument for Monistic Idealism. It would be like the Exclusion Problem but in reverse: the mental excluding the physical.
@dmartin1650
02/13/2025 - 3:31 PMIsn't any form of pluralist monism a contradiction?
