Philosophy in Real Life – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This is a conversation with one of my close friends, Hugo, who is 25 years old. Hugo was diagnosed in October 2023 with stomach-gastric cancer, stage 4 (terminal cancer). It is one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

Hugo has been given a life expectancy of approximately 10 months. He has been fighting cancer undergoing chemotherapy for 7 months.

In this conversation we talk about how he found out the news, his emotional state, how he fights daily to maintain a positive attitude despite the prognosis.

This conversation was initially done in Spanish. The video went viral and a lot of Hugo's friends do not speak Spanish. That is why we sat down again to have the conversation in English. In case you want to listen to the Spanish conversation, here you can find the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYn26dUJZU&ab_channel=CarlosSantosAguirreES

In this episode, I have an intellectual battle with Andrew Tate and his conception of masculinity. In this podcast, we have the last round over the topic of the Red Pill Community. To make it more digestible, I included the first two rounds in the previous podcast episode 7. And Round 3 will be the main point of discussion of this podcast episode 8.

🗣️ PART 1 🗣️(Previous Podcast – Episode 7)

🥊 Round 1 – Warrior Ethic: Performance over feelings (“a man fulfills his duty despite how he feels”).

🥊  Round 2 ­­– Meritocracy: You get the life you work for.

🗣️ PART 2 🗣️ (This episode)

🥊  Round 3 – A blend of ideas from the Red Pill online community (high man value, stoicism, courage, and traditionalism.)

👉🏼 TABLE OF CONTENT OF ROUND 3

1 – High Value Man

1.1 Explanation of “High value man”

1.2 Criticism – “High value man” 

2 – Stoicism and emotional control

2.1 Explanation of “Stoicism” according to Tate

2.2 Criticism 1: are women more emotional than men?

2.3 Criticism 2: selective “emotional control”

3 – Courage as the highest good

3.1 Explanation of “courage” according to Tate

3.2 Criticism: courage does not equal truth
 

4 – Traditionalism: role of men and women

4.1 Explanation of “traditionalism” 

4.2 Criticism: do we still need the “traditional man”?
 

5 – A message to men about Andrew Tate’s ideas

5.1 Do not be impressionable

5.2 You are not your strongest desires

5.3 Do not be ashamed for being a man

6 – A message to women about Andrew Tate’s ideas

6.1 Avoid making a caricature of men’s complaints

6.2 Stop talking about equality by only putting down men

6.3 Men are the “otherness” too – Avoid hateful comments

It means a lot when you give like and share the video. I want to do this long term, and it will be only possible with your support!

In this episode, I talk about the controversial public figure: Andrew Tate. This is the first part of a two-part podcast episode on Andrew Tate and the decline of masculinity. 

In this episode, I have an intellectual battle with Andrew Tate and his conception of masculinity. There will be three “rounds” where I will analyze and criticize in each round one main philosophical idea that makes up his notion of masculinity. 

To make it more digestible, I will have the first two rounds in this podcast episode. And Round 3 will be the main point of discussion of the second part that will be posted in two weeks from this first episode.

🗣️ PART 1 🗣️

🥊 Round 1 – Warrior Ethic: Performance over feelings (“a man fulfills his duty despite how he feels”). 

🥊  Round 2 ­­– Meritocracy: You get the life you work for.

🗣️ PART 2 🗣️ (next podcast episode) 

🥊  Round 3 – A blend of ideas from the Red Pill online community (high man value, stoicism, courage, and traditionalism.)

In this episode of the Philosophy in Real Life podcast, I talk about my reading methodology. It really sucks to invest so much time and not remember the things you read or just finishing a book and come to the realization that you just ended up with a vague idea about a book that you found meaningful. Needless to say, not all the books have the same value to us. In this video I share my thought process from picking what book to read to how I go about keeping quotations and book summaries. 

These are the main points I discuss in this episode 6: 

1. How much do you know about the field? 

2. What book should you pick? popular versus academic

3. My method: the three levels of reading

4. Bonus Segment: How I use Notion to keep my book summaries

📑 SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE 📑

In this episode I do a raw review of the Barbie movie. I discuss many topics about feminism, patriarchy, role of women, and Ben Shapiro’s critique of the Barbie movie. Here you have the parts: 

1. Expansion of identity: from motherhood to womanhood”

2. The crisis of Barbie as the deconstruction of “the perfect woman”

3. The reconstruction of Barbie as “pure human potential”

4. War of the sexes: Patriarchy or Matriarchy? 

5. Where do we go from here? Beyond feminism

6. A word to my right-wing friends and Ben Shapiro’s critique of the movie

📑 SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE 📑

In this episode, I talk about why you should read fewer books. The obsession with “quantifying wisdom” needs to stop.

We are going to look at 5 tips that, as a Philosophy PhD student and as a student of life, have proved to be insanely helpful!

Tip #1: Read about what is bothering you.
Tip #2: Read books to be changed, not just to get more information.
Tip #3: Study to discover truth, not to confirm preconceived ideas.
Tip #4: Pick the right book for the right season. 
Tip #5 Create a space for learning in your life.

It means a lot when you give like and share the posts or videos with everybody. I want to do this long term, and it will be only possible with your support! Thank you so much!
