Once the revolution is over the real work begins (infighting).

And that, children, is why you NEVER act in such a way that you cannot, at the a same time, will to be a universal maxim.

"There are no fact, only interpretations" is such a funny quote coming from Nietzsche because his philosophy itself has been subject to some of the worst interpretations of all time.

It took Gregory Sadler 10 years to explain Hegel in his "Half Hour Hegel" YouTube series. Half Hour Hegel is complete, was it worth the time? Yes. Was it worth the effort? Yes. We know this because once you fully understand Hegel you will know that progress education is always worth the time.

This comic is in tribute to Gregory Sadler finishing his Half Hour Hegel, in which he does a close reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, one of philosophy's most notoriously long and difficult works. He started February 27, 2014 (nearly ten years ago, just a few months after I started this comic), and he finished with his 377th video last Friday, September 21 2023, finally explaining the concept of Absolute Knowing (and also hinting that he might re-read it from the start now, come on man give Hegel a rest!). To me this is one of the longest and most dedicated YouTube projects that I know of, especially considered that Hegel isn't as popular of a subject matter as, say, silly cats. So if you have a spare 189 hours or so for Hegel, give it a listen.
Or you can check out his hundreds of much more reasonably length videos about dozens of different philosophers.
Or better yet support him on patreon if you believe in this kind of free public philosophy education.

But it turns out that John Stuart Mill had heat stroke the entire time he was writing most of his major works.

John Stuart Mill, being a utilitarian, believed that any ethical decision should be decided creating the most happiness or utility in the world. It seems rather obvious that his life will lead to more happiness than Kierkegaard and Weil, who are both sort of religious puritans who suffered throughout their lives, both physically and emotionally. They both also possibly died as virgins in their 30s. On the other hand, this is how Harriet Taylor Mill (JS Mill’s wife) describes sex:

Sex in its true and finest meaning, seems to be the way in which is manifested all that is highest, best and beautiful in the nature of human beings – none but poets have approached to the perception of the beauty of the material world – still less of the spiritual – and there never yet existed a poet except by the inspiration of that feeling which is the perception of beauty in all forms and by all means which are given us, as well as by sight.

She ends the essay saying “it is all for you” to John Stuart Mill. So it seems that we have some evidence that he was having a good time.
Kierkegaard, on the other hand, believes that the religious transcends the ethical, and even in some cases it is our duty to act in accordance with God’s will even if it goes against ethics, such as when Abraham was commanded to kill his son. Even if Abraham was suspicious that it was not God that was commanding him, but some kind of madness, he had to follow through regardless.
Simone Weil’s ethics was highly influenced by a parable she heard about Alexander the Great. When he was crossing the desert with his army, he heard that his men were out of water, so what he did was go before them and pour his own flask of water out onto the sand, to show that they were all in it together. Weil thought it was a beautiful moment of ethics, because it was creative and surprising, but once it happened everyone realized that was how it had to be. In her own life she often put herself though suffering in similar ways, such as refusing to heat her home or sleeping on the floor because others had to live that way. These acts are entirely useless to anyone else but she believed were necessary for herself to live a fully authentic ethical life.
