July 8, 2013 Only 14 minutes and mostly a gloss on his ideas developed in Zagreb, Croatia
How do we experience ourselves as persons, we are now directly linking our thoughts directly to things, a wheelchair that runs directly on thoughts. What will become of us, our very identity is based on this difference between my inner life and outer life.
Greatest philosophical book of all times, a story but a crazy story, Hegel’s Philosophy of Spirit. We should let readers discover for themselves why big fat book is relevant.
To return to Hegel is answer to deadlock failure of today’s left. Stalinist commie failed, I told Fukuymama, maybe capitalism won, but did commies prove they are best managers. We should not play boring game, idea is good they just did it wrong in Russia, no Hegel says if idea goes wrong in reality, there is something wrong with the idea itself.
Hegel was fully aware for logical conceptual necessity to realize itself, it has to attach itself to contingent moment. Monarch, he is not divine, he is idiot like all of us, if you have a government justified by higher right, divine right, you get alienation, no at the top there must be an idiot like all of us. We need a jury for example, selected from our peers, the Monarch is just representation of utter contingency.

Retroactive reversal of contingency into necessity, something contingently happens but once its here it is necessary.
Subject is reduced to point of emptiness, but at this moment there is a possibility of reversal
what crisis? East Asia is growing, Africa in some parts is progressing. There is only a crisis in western Europe. You leftists love to be anti-Euro, but hey … yes I agree, first at this immediate economic level, its only west Europe in crisis, what this NEW FORM of capitalism, WHAT WILL IT BE? This new capitalism will be more and more capitalism with Asian values, not despotism, simply autocratic capitalism. Eternal marriage of democracy and capitalism is on deathbed. Lee Quan Yew founder of modern Singapore.
Gradual opening gives rise to expectations, not in darkess Stalinism, its when relative expansion of capitalism will render situation even more destabilizing
Hegel’s refined dialectical paradox This is my message in India, in strict correlation to their class status. The very loss of something creates the lost dimension. We don’t have pre-colonial india then brutal colonization which makes them aware of what they lost and then they struggle to get it back. NO! This new dimension that they are craving for, new modern democratic India, the very program of decolonization is engendered by colonialism itself.
