The Edge of the Inside — How to Change the Superstructure

The Living Philosophy

Why it Matters is back (kind of). This video revisits the Prophet archetype with a bit more passion and a little less bookishness. It is great to have the previous video as a foundation but as with the old Why it Matters videos the point of this video is to get into why I care so much about this topic and why I think you should as well. We're going to be looking at the Prophet through the lens of Richard Rohr's description of the Prophet's position as being at "the edge of the inside" and we are going to look at some examples of this Prophetic archetype like Karl Marx, Jordan Peterson, Contrapoints and Donald Trump. ____________________ 📚 Further Learning: - The original video on the Prophet archetype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnaYn6WpwuA - Jonas Ceika/Cuck philosophy video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHtvTGaPzF4 - Szakolczai Á (2003) _The Genesis of Modernity_.
