00:00 - 00:03The Rationalists have been storming the city
00:04 - 00:05They have been giving talks in several locations
00:05 - 00:07here, and here.
00:08 - 00:12Promoting their wretched Enlightenment and scientistic agenda
00:12 - 00:15At the moment, they are running a "summer school" here
00:17 - 00:19Well, no matter
00:19 - 00:21Steiner assured me he's organizing a counter-event
00:24 - 00:26My Fuhrer...
00:27 - 00:28Steiner...
00:31 - 00:33Steiner's conference has been cancelled
00:34 - 00:36Harman, Gabriel and Deepak Chopra turned him down
00:53 - 00:58I want only the artists: Keitel, Jodl, Krebs, and Burgdorf.
01:13 - 01:15That's unacceptable!
01:15 - 01:17That's fucking unacceptable!
01:18 - 01:23I clearly told Steiner we needed metaphysical extravaganza!
01:25 - 01:28Now Rationalism will become a thing!
01:29 - 01:31People will ask for conceptual clarity!
01:31 - 01:34Those logic-mongers are more rigorous than the SS!
01:34 - 01:37And to think they call me a Nazi
01:37 - 01:40while these people go around defending Enlightenment and Universalism
01:40 - 01:42My Führer, Universalism isn't necessarily totalitarian
01:42 - 01:46My ass it isn't! They are a bunch of colonialists, fascist technophiles
01:46 - 01:48My Führer, that's very uncharitable reading.
01:48 - 01:52They will have people read Sellars and Brandom!
01:53 - 01:54I don't understand them!
01:56 - 01:58I have spent 6 months reading nothing but ONE chapter of Laruelle
01:58 - 02:03wading through fucking incomprehensible jargon and outrageously cryptic french neologisms
02:04 - 02:08so I had to learn French to appreciate him
02:08 - 02:13now people will ask me to explain what it all means
02:14 - 02:16and I have no fucking clue whatsoever!
02:17 - 02:21there isn't even some amusing Zizekian bit in it, like a praise of Stalin!
02:27 - 02:29I never wanted to be an academic
02:30 - 02:34I'm totally self-taught, I know which theorists are important
02:34 - 02:36those teaching at the European Graduate School!
02:41 - 02:42Filthy inferentialists
02:43 - 02:47They will bang on with their Science and Reason and ignore the value of emotions
02:48 - 02:53Heidegger is the only philosophy needed by the German people
02:54 - 02:56Now they'll bore us with numbers
02:56 - 02:59They'll demand we learn to handle bloody numbers
03:00 - 03:02they'll hold us epistemically accountable until we spit blood
03:04 - 03:07Don't worry, I'll teach you category theory
03:14 - 03:16Our postmodern times are truly over
03:19 - 03:23Our only hope is to retrench in the art world
03:25 - 03:26It sucks
03:31 - 03:33Our war to Reason, it is lost
03:40 - 03:46But gentleman, if you think I'm gonna start reading Brandom you are seriously mistaken
03:46 - 03:49I'd rather blow my fucking brains out
03:53 - 03:56You, you better start with Sellars
