PHILOSOPHY IN POP CULTURE AND MILLENNIALS:

ATTENTION Millennials, If you are book lovers and have not yet checked out this channel on You tube then what are you even doing?

Let us devour their videos and bask in the afterglow of contentment this channel brings to our oh-so-mundane lives.

In the 20th episode of Books on toast podcast, the inimitable Anuya Jakatdar, ever graceful Sharin Bhatti, and broody Rajat Kapoor discuss philosophy in popular culture. And it is … legen..wait for it…dary.

Here are the musings of a milllenial whilst watching the above linked video.

a) Hmm.. nothing exists in a void. Every creation further creates so on and so forth

b) Man! We actuallly are always preoccupied with ideas that aren’t even our own!

c) HAW, RAJAT DOESN’T WATCH GAME OF THRONES!

d) Nothing is real and we are all in a matrix.

c) We can fix any glitch in the matrix with a hot cup of black coffee. True that.

d) William Irwin is one cool guy..no?

e) Wow, right and wrong is governed by intentions and not outcomes. That makes life easier for me. I am loving this Botcast.

d) I find it cute that Rajat Kapoor cannot relate to millennials

e) OMG! AFLATOON IS PLATO?!

f) Lol, the Raichand family of philosophy. Yay, there is a K3G reference in everything. Buzzfeed India team would approve.

g) Gotta read Will Durant’s story of philosophy. Hmm, better TBR it abhi.

h) Woah, there would be no Dystopian fiction without Plato’s concept of Utopia. Mind=blown

i) So many books and I have no money! FML.

j) Oh Rajat, “What are we doing?” might have been the question that lead to the genesis of philosophy as an entity. So fitting. Great job.

k) Note to self: keeping a warm cup of coffee close to your face makes you look sexy af.

l) “failure should be respected” Yay, respect me world.

m) Only homer I know, Sharin, is yellow and he ain’t a philosopher. Or maybe he is?!

n) Someone needs to write a book that is the best of both worlds: eastern and western philosophy

o) Oh, Terry uncle’s quote is worth reflecting upon:

“Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it’s all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place"

p) “All of us are stuck in an elusive chase of paper money” Ah, the feels Sharin. The feels.

q) Things have meaning.

r) “Free will vs destiny” is basically THE conflict that goes on in Harry potter’s mind throughout the series. Get on this one, William Irwin.

s) OMG! THE WHOLE PLOT OF PAULO COELHO’S ‘THE ALCHEMIST’ IS BASED ON A FOLKLORE FROM BAGHDAD!!

t) Wow @ the idea of embarking on a journey to find gold within. #wanderlust.

u) Don’t know if we are all born with Buddha nature, but we sure are born with Buddha looks.

v) Is this the real life, or is this just fanatsy?
