Description: This is a fan restoration of a scene from South Park Season 14 Ep 6 titled "201." The original censored both depiction as well as mention of Muhammad after threats from radicals lead to fear and concern from Comedy Central. The episode was banned after the initial broadcast. The uncensored audio leaked online in 2014.

"Religion is the opium of the people." — Karl Marx German: "Die Religion [...] ist das Opium des Volkes" Full sentence (with context): "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."

Peterson criticises Eckhart Tolle in one of his videos, mistaking him to be a humanist (he is more of a mystic, though...). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEnQ78FkdaE

Funnily enough, Eckhart did mention the humanist movement, in one of his videos. He related this to a period of more awareness and awakening that was brought to the masses.

Somewhere, Steven Kotler compares a flow state to satori. From skimming this wiki page, I don't see it. He did some research into mystical traditions and came to this conclusion. He describes flow as a glimmer of awakening which he distinguishes from (stages of) enlightenment. Satori is obviously awakening and is clearly linked to some stage of enlightenment.

A lot of Islamic influence. Din-i Ilahi is Arabic/Persian which denotes "Oneness of God"(referring to tawhid). See how this might relate to wahdat al-wujud (Oneness of Being in Sufi metaphysics). The Mongols have historically been tolerant towards a lot of religions (a proto-perennialist philosophy?).

Guilt pride is something of a modern construction. Unlike Walsers, who experienced his guilt (because he served in WW2 under the Nazis), most Germans haven't experienced WW2. Guilt pride is thus an attempt to build a new collective identity for Germany, devoid of any authenticity (instead hinges more on profilicity).

25:00 Why attend an art history class then when you are so sensitive of images being depicted (decent argument)? 27:00 cancel culture at college campuses (evolution being taught creationist becoming mad example) 29:25 Tension between intellectual discomfort and harm (notion of safe spaces as being a problem). 31:00 Illiberal left as sketching good vs evil and claiming moral superoprity. Here, leftist claim to be inclusive, but in fact, they are exclusive .

16:30 "But the only fatwa that has, in fact, said that no images of Mohammed are permitted, and that includes Islamic paintings, not just the cartoons, came out in 2013 in Saudi Arabia by a Salafi cleric whose name is Al-Munajid. And there are other fatwas like Asistani, the Shi'i cleric, who says these images are perfectly fine, as long as they're respectful."

20:00 Fatwas can be issued (like the above) in a vacuum without any real conversation within the Islamic community. Few years back even building a snowman fatwa as haram. Animals are decapitated in Saudi textbooks. People in 20th century having 14th century book that depicts a head, decapitating it (al-ras).

15:30 The advent of media allowing for more images to be produced of the prophet. This in turn led to more anxiety under the Islamic community. See The Message (and the other movies) as examples of this increase of anxiety.

05:00 Gruber discusses how the canon should be decolonised (how eurocentrism should be replaced with different centres of interests) and how showing the prophet actually contributes to that purpose (including 14th century Iran that portrays these depictions of Muhammad).

07:30 Wow, interesting point: The people back then struggled with the question of how to depict prophetic and divine figures. How to do that? Certain anxieties underlying this.

08:30 A week before the incident, Lopez showed art in India and of the Buddha and so on. A whole course on how the divine is presented, and struggled with, in different regions and cultures, other than the West (an Eurocentric view).

Behind the Hamline University Incident — with Erika López Prater and Christiane Gruber

Both Gruber and Prater are art historians.

Severe lack of context of the incident, and the historical context of portraying Mohammed, is very evident here. The imam says "that we Muslims don't show images of the prophet" which is partially true, some Muslims don't. An interesting parallel with the general outcry of support for the teacher.

Jaylani Hussein says that most Muslims don't support portraying the prophet, whilst acknowledging that some do. (But portraying the prophet thus is not good). Even says it is Islamophobia at 2:00

"The president of the Muslim student association" Aram Wedetella also in the class speaks up.

JAN. 17,2023 "Based on all that we have learned, we have determined that our usage of the term 'Islamophobic' was therefore flawed." Ellen Watters, Chair, Hamline University Board of Trustees Fayneese Miller, President, Hamline University

Hamline incident discussed at Fox News. Muslim community honors Prophet Muhammad after incident at Hamline University

04:30 Question of how these images are now marginalised in the Islamic community. Came from the Ottoman Empire? Safi blames the rise of Salafi and Wahhabi movements. These images seem to portray mainly the mi'raj, ie spiritual and mystical dimensions. And the prophet portrayed in companion with other prophets (ie the universality of Islam).

"We believe in academic freedom, but it should not and cannot be used to excuse away behavior that harms others." (STATEMENT FROM HAMLINE UNIVERSITY) The above statements shows the struggle that Hamline faced when deciding to fire Erika Lopez Prater. A tension between academic freedom and insulting others.

1:05 A good point by Safi is that the statements of the director was assuming that the freedom of speech was in direct opposition to the feelings of Muslims. This is not the case. A difference between iconical devotion within the Islamic tradition (both Sunni and Shia) and Charlie Hebdo examples.

03:00 Both to respect students and expand their horizons. Not everyone needs to agree with it.

The last speech by the prophet in the movie

Oww, so the first convert from the Meccan side was Khalid ibn Walid in the movie.

Cast of the movie. They spoke English (and are indeed English actors).

The image of Muhammad presented here seems to be of a prophet/messiah. Someone that is destined to salvage the human race. Interesting parallels with the Twelve Imams?

Interesting. This is a general problem with historical movies. There is almost no such thing as objectivity. By making a movie, you make choices, you select what makes the cut and what doesn't. and by doing so, you form a certain image of the prophet, in this case. The free personal impressions of Majid are in fact a way to represent a certain image of Muhammad.

From what I have read, Majid is blamed for putting forward a Shi'ite Muhammed forward in the movie. Perhaps his free personal impressions are expressed in this regard?

These birds are mentioned as ebabil in Surah al-Fil.

Prophet Muhammed in Sahih el-Bukhari how the ummah is like one (human) body. When one part hurts, the whole body hurts.

A locking in video that emphasises Andrew Tate. See other video asking the question who these people that consume this watch up to. Andrew Tate seems to be an example. These vids probably also relate to red pill, masculinity (also online business scene?).

Another edit from the same YouTube channel that has the term lock in in the title.

A winter arc edit. A search on YouTube has dozens of these (AI probably makes it even worse).

I have nothing against them. They do seem to present a new worldview of sorts. Is it really grounded and substantial though? What are the people that they look up to? Andrew Tate and David Goggins?

Terms like locking in, ghosting, monk mode, winter arc, are common in the self-improvement scene on YouTube. A period of extreme focus and isolation to go deep into something.

Another spin (02:00) is that of an almost monk like quality. That of self discovery and inner transformation. So these terms have both a productive and (spiritual) transformational spin to them. I remember Tarik (friend) saying to me that you should become unrecognisable in these three months. Literally becoming something else (ie transformation).

1:11:30 Anxiety is largely invisible whereas depression and the like are more visible.

1:04:00 What a beautiful story about how Dr. Ali Mattu started to realise his social anxiety was bullshit. Even the cool guy was doubting himself after his talk. This didn't matchup with Ali his perception of the situation (Ali thought he was swagger).

1:08:30 "Surprising" the mind in social situations is an opportunity to rewire the brain, change its anxious associations. These moments of "surprise" are also related to neuroplasticity

1:07:30 The mind prioritises emotional information.

57:00 Social anxiety results in actual bad social performance. In turn, this feeds the social anxiety even more, completing a loop of sorts. Again, trying to be social, or not to be awkward, results in being worse at the thing. (refer back to other HealthyGamer video for similar idea)

46:00 Social anxiety as "disordered attention" (HealthyGamer) where we fixate on certain signals too much. It warps incoming information. Positive signals are filtered out and attention is fixated on negative information.

54:00 "Distorting the flow of information" (also see Mihaly jump) Information is internal based rather than external (because attention is internally directed rather than externally).

Reminds me of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi his notion of psychic entropy where consciousness is essentially disordered. One can say that social anxiety contributes to entropy.

45:00 Social anxiety as more of an attention problem than it is an emotional problem.

Also see other HealthyGamerGG on how directing attention can help with awkwardness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTrCLOyoRq8

0:40/2:40 Trying not to be awkward leads to being awkward. Thus the awkwardness arises from the desire to not be awkward (paradox of trying). Not being awkward is more about where attention and awareness goes, than it being about doing something about it.

02:33 Pseudo productivity as visible and busy work. "The bussier, the better" More mails, text messaging back and forth, meetings. In essence, work is done for the sake of doing, but it lacks substance and effectiveness.

This can also be likened to work optimisation (3:43) "Fit as much as possible"

54:50 "getting things done" is used in productivity vocabulary, not necessarily tied to the methodology "GTD". It signifies to produce and do stuff, which seemingly falls well on the tongue?

43:00 deliberate practice vs flow

Also see Cal Newport make comparisons (critically so for flow)

11:00 Convergent tasks as open and creative, more suitable in like the afternoon and evening, whereas convergent tasks narrow down and are more focused, more so in the morning (this obviously depends on factors like chronobiology and so on)

Also think of it as execution vs strategy

09:30 David Allen: Work as anything that isn't done yet (broad definition of work)

08:30 Robert Downey Jr. and Howard Sterne are both GTDers
