Hey /his/. I have a small youtube channel and have thought for a while how to diversify content, and I have decided to write a history podcast.
My intention with it is to do something far more detailed than something like Extra Credits, but not as insanely long as Hardcore history. I will also release alongside each episode a word document with the script and all citations used, which will probably be quite a lot, especially if people express a desire for historiography and analysis of historical interpretations.
Anyway, you can answer my survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf60cTluseo01mamT10oUm3T69N8aIocv7m8ot6A75FLSrKzA/viewform
You can see my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2yh-MfL2LamSVqb76fEPCg?&ab_channel=MauritianStruggle
I currently do mostly response videos with a few videos looking into things like equality and anti semitism.
I will have a video out tomorrow formally expressing this. I hope you like the idea. Ask any questions you have below.

>Mozi views aesthetics as nearly useless. Unlike Confucius, he holds a distinctive repulsion to any development in ritual music and the fine arts. Mozi takes some whole chapters named "Against Music" (非樂) to discuss this. Though he mentions that he does enjoy and recognize what is pleasant, he sees them of no utilization in terms of governing, or of the benefit of common people. Instead, since development of music involves man's power, it reduces production of food; furthermore, appreciation of music results in less time for administrative works.

Let's have a real discussion here
If coupled with a well-functioning life, is hedonism really THAT bad?
Say I'm an intelligent career man, I have good manners, a thought-out philosophy and solid work ethic
Then, during my free time, I like to have orgies with hookers, snort cocaine and throw massive parties
If it's not too excessive to hurt me or my work, what's wrong with some shallow self-indulgence?
Does indulging in simple joys make a man less wise?

Sure, but it can result in diminishing returns because your pleasure center or whatever the heck it is called gets depleted.
But you said occasional so I guess you got it covered.

>If god did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
How far do you think this is true? Is religiousness necessary for a prosperous society? Is godlessness directly responsible for problems of society today, and are these problems even problems worth considering?

I do not think it is true that God is necessary for a prosperous society. If that is what Voltaire was arguing, I think he was wrong.
However, I do think that, no matter how many times we try to kill God using reason, he will always return. Because as a concept, the ideas of immaterial beings, supernatural occurrences, and divine creators are simply things inherent to human psychology - it is human nature to acknowledge their existence in some way or another.
I don't think that it's possible for our culture to override our instincts as humans to create magic and phantoms in our mind to explain things, or simply for fun. Therefore, as Voltaire says, if our culture had no concept of God or the supernatural or the ethereal, I think someone would eventually invent it. And it would become popular again.
Of course, perhaps in the far future, human nature itself may change such that Voltaire's assertion is no longer true. But assuming human nature remains as it is, I think he's right. Humanity will always invent the supernatural, it's a part of our psychology.
Perhaps, though, that isn't what he meant.

That may be a voltaire's opinion on religious dogma, but this is actually from a poem criticizing atheism.
>>
The masses need a higher power to tell them about morals. Religion fits that role. It was never about a creation myth or virgin births, it's about some rules of how to live your life. Without that the masses go into random crazy shit.

Do any of these 5 men seem like they are able to command respect and radiate power? Like if you released them and 10,000 people onto an island in the Pacific and came back a year later would you expect any of them to be at the top of social food chain?
How do such lame inoffensive characters come to control the most powerful military in the world? Why don't more ruthless warlords come to power like in my Star Trek Klingon fanfics?

No because they're not dictators dipshit. The president is not the leader of a country. They simply fall into the executive branch. There are also the legislature branch and judicial branch.

Some people are called to be part of the church and some are called to be fruitful and multiply. Also theres nothing stopping a woman who has had kids becoming a nun.

Corinthians 7:34 There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
