Animism: From "Primitivism" to Awareness
oh
his litardation is almost too much to bear. he constantly talks about "western" vs "indigenous"... and casts aspersions on European culture. he mentions that european cultural tradition of "bringing civilization" in a negative way. he talks about "old ideas" in respect to european scientific efforts, while making a case for the oldest idea that is animism. european early scientists struggled to make an art out of their works. he mentions the idea that it's "offensive" to call sami "lapps" and inuits "eskimo". 31:50 "we need to retink everything we thought, about our own cultural past, especially european one". puh-leez. "indigenous finally have access to scientific world" why was it not something they made themselves? he talks about bias and human struggles with viewing other cultures unbiasedly, as if europeans are the only ones, when we do our best to be unbiased and the other cultures don't have this tradition. he talks like a sanctimonius leftist til 34:40 when he finally gets to the topic of animism. i can't support him on patreon anymore.
