00:00:00 - 01:00:00

In this video, philosopher Peter Sloterdijk discusses various topics related to immigration, integration, and the pandemic. He argues that the current situation is difficult, but that it is important to keep in mind the historical precedent of the American experiment when discussing the issue. He also discusses the importance of science in the current pandemic and how it has fared compared to other periods in history.

  • 00:00:00 The speaker discusses the current situation in Vienna, where there is a growing divide between protesters of different ethnicities. He mentions that one of the lessons we can learn from this is that Austria is still a multi-ethnic country, even after losing all of its colonies and becoming an independent nation. He then goes on to talk about the current topic of discussion: immigration and integration.
  • 00:05:00 In this video, philosopher Peter Sloterdijk discusses the situation in Austria and Germany after World War II, when their respective countries were forced to relinquish their colonial empires. He argues that the long process of imperial entrenchment was ultimately costly for both Austria and Germany, as they were not able to carry out the kinds of colonial crimes that the French had been able to commit. In contrast, the Jewish population in Austria fared much better, largely due to the fact that they were not involved in the postwar migration of Germans. Sloterdijk believes that the integration of these groups is a necessary but difficult task, and that it is important to keep in mind the historical precedent of the American experiment when discussing the issue.
  • 00:10:00 The speaker gives a podium talk on 30 June 2020 about the öIF (Österreichischer Institut für internationale Politik) with philosopher, Peter Sloterdijk. He discusses the first and second generations of pilgrims, the immigration waves of Italians, Germans, and other people from the Balkan, and the important contributions of the Irish wave. He also talks about the current Asian wave. He notes that the current situation of the United States, with its many ethnic groups, is a result of the country's founding values, which both the American presidents and the Supreme Court take seriously. He believes that similar effects could be achieved in Europe, and goes on to discuss how one can be an American patriot even if they were not born in the United States. He also discusses how the Japanese colony in Paris has had a profound impact on Japanese culture overseas and how the city's rich culinary scene would not be the same without the contribution of the Yugoslavs. He wraps up by saying that he would like to talk more about these topics, but that he would like to move on to a different topic.
  • 00:15:00 In his talk at the ÖIF podium, Peter Sloterdijk discusses the problems of integration in Europe after centuries of colonialism and nationalism. He gives the example of the Serbian population in Austria, which has been deeply wounded by the 14-year war with Slovenia that started in 1991. This has led to a resurgence of nationalism and xenophobia among many young Muslims, which in turn has led to the rise of far-right parties.
  • 00:20:00 The speaker discusses how people can adapt to changing social environments, and how emotions play a role in this. He also discusses how political candidates should approach issues in the current election season. Finally, he talks about the upcoming fall season and how an upcoming controversial topic could impact it.
  • 00:25:00 The speaker discusses how people can be öIF (Österreichische Informatik Fachakademie) alumni and remain withdrawn or go through a monothymic routine for 14 weeks, reading the weekly routine and the hormone, and how some people during this time have suddenly shown interest in looking out the window. He then discusses how the contemporary world is different from what Augustine or Saint Benedict envisioned, in that people now act without regard for the consequences. He argues that this is a bad thing, and that the press is becoming monothematical.
  • 00:30:00 The speaker discusses the water price and how it is packaged to make it seem like less water is needed. He then goes on to say that the first time that water became a commodity was with the Enlightenment, but it was only then when high-quality water was taken over by those who could afford to do so. He says that those who are not driven by their own ambition and do not enter into modernity out of convenience will ultimately become the bad people in the church. He also talks about the current state of the humanities and how they are losing touch with modernity. He believes that the light of modernity still exists, but it is being obscured by the current crisis. He says that the humanities should try to learn from modernity's mistakes in order to restore the natural world to its rightful owners. He also discusses the importance of authorship and solidarity in relation to the auto industry. He states that he hates to say that anything bad will come from the current situation, but he believes it is inevitable.
  • 00:35:00 In this video, philosopher Peter Sloterdijk discusses the pandemic and how the government should respond. He argues that even if the government can't prevent the pandemic, it must be obedient to the people until the public's trust in science-backed warnings remains. Sloterdijk also discusses the history of freedom and its limits, saying that it can go too far when individuals attempt to harm or endanger others on the basis of their own freedom. He concludes by saying that the government could create a law allowing involuntary confinement of those who threaten or endanger themselves.
  • 00:40:00 In a speech at the ÖIF podium, philosopher Peter Sloterdijk discusses the ongoing dispute between them following a previous agreement not to fight. He argues that the idea of Heiligkeit not being accessible to anyone who sees it without a mask is wrong, and that it is the police who are called instead, not from one but from 12 vantage points in the restaurant. The film's interest lies in its depiction of the human race for the first time having a chance to succeed in its battle against bacteria, albeit with mixed results. Sloterdijk goes on to say that in the year 44, Americans for the first time used penicillin on the battlefield with great success, followed by the first small shipments of the drug being sent in civilian use. However, the drug's success was short-lived, as it was soon replaced by fake versions that were distributed in the Vienna underworld. In his words, "where else is this stuff [fake penicillin] found but in dour words, behind the scenes of the third man?" The hand-laid-out background story of the film follows Joseph Cotten's search for a connection to the man he sees following a traumatic experience.
  • 00:45:00 In his talk, Peter Sloterdijk discusses the dissolution of the social structure, which has led to a new form of hooking up between seven young women and three young men retreating to a villa in the center of a polluted city. They have created a narrative contract to help each other stay alive in the Goodwill to each other. The original rationality of humans cooperating to achieve common goals is at the heart of both conservative and liberal conceptions of progress. The theme of the talk is that the human race is currently experiencing a new social contract, which is based on the idea of herd immunity.
  • 00:50:00 In this video, philosopher Peter Sloterdijk discusses the role of science in the current pandemic and how it has fared compared to other periods in history. He also touches on the controversial topic of scientific theories that cannot be tested, noting that it is important for scientists to be aware of this possibility and be prepared to "withdraw" their theories if evidence proves them wrong. Sloterdijk finishes the talk by discussing the importance of knowledge being shared openly and how the current pandemic has shown that science is still capable of producing amazing results despite being faced with adversity.
  • 00:55:00 The speaker talks about how difficult it is to work with theories that are true but not falsifiable, and how waiting for verification can be a long process. He points to the example of epidemiology, where provisional measures such as epidemiology are necessary in order to prevent epidemics from becoming worse. He also discusses how the concept of gnosis can be a helpful tool in understanding the world, despite the fact that it is often misrepresented. He finishes the talk by saying that the idea of gnosis being a liberator is not what is actually happening, and that the true story of the Jewish and Christian world view is that humans were intended to be in paradise, but were corrupted by sin.

01:00:00 - 01:10:00

In this talk, Peter Sloterdijk discusses the idea that history is a "schädelstätte," or graveyard, where "we [are] not so socialized in a world view that isn't anchored in history." He argues that socialization should take place in a world view that is anchored in history, and that we are not doing this currently. He cites the example of the Columbian Exchange, and how the discovery of America led to the "massiv eine über historisiert [an over-historiated] past," which has led to the current socialization problems.

  • 01:05:00 In his talk, Peter Sloterdijk discusses the origins of the world and the difficulty of living a decent life in an ever-changing world. He argues that it is only by understanding that the world was created in 4004 BC that we can begin to have a reasonable understanding of our creationist beliefs. However, due to the changes that have occurred in our understanding of the past over the last 6000 years, it is still not possible to live according to a coherent creationist narrative. Instead, we are left with a temporary history that must be rewritten every few thousand years in response to new scientific and cultural discoveries. The fate of history is inextricably linked to the debate over evolutionary theory, and everyone should be aware of this.
  • 01:10:00 The speaker discusses the idea of "erasing" the horizon, and how we can do this by going forward through history. He says that this is something that can be done by artists and athletes, and that it is finally completed in the city. He then says goodbye to the audience and thanks them for watching.
