I'm 20 years old and I've never studied philosophy. It's difficult for me to read books, I understand lectures more easily. Tell me about the good channels on YouTube or courses on Coursera/etc.

I know about these guys:

if you're anything like me you probably have NVLD (Non-Verbal Learning Disorder). It's not on the autism spectrum.

You read things, but they dont stick no matter how hard you try

You know you're smart, but everyone thinks you're stupid. You consider your thinking logical, but everyone says you're being too literal. You spread an unnecessary amount of information, just like I'm doing now

I wasnt diagnosed until 21

You certainly came to the right place. Seeing as how you're asking for videos and that you're not interested in books you definitely did good by coming to the literature board. Genius, really. I never would have thought of it.

This idea that people learn better using one method over another is a myth. It's difficult for you to learn by reading because you're stupid. You're not going to learn anything with videos either.

I thought the exact same thing.

In a nutshell: Unlike Dyslexia, those suffering from NVLD (no cool word for us yet) simply cant retain information. This includes social cues, like body language (which is why people think its a form of autism). We also have little sense of space and direction. People like me are constantly bumping into stuff and getting in people's way. Im more conscious of it now, But I used to literally run into polls, like a old cartoon. We also share a lot of information, even if the other person has no need for the information.

I dont tell people about it. I dont want to use my disorder as a crutch. If I lived with it until I was 21, Ill live with it until I die. I just gotta work extra hard to meet social norms.

Daniel Bonevac is one of the few actually worth your time.

His course on the analytic tradition is a great intro to analytic philo
His Ideas of the Twentieth Century course is less about philo per se, but still great fun.
He's a great lecturer

>> No.9785367

Lectures are superficial introductions. If you can't or won't delve into many many many books, philosophy isn't for you. I mean yeah you can watch some lecteres and learn stuff, go ahead for sure, but don't pretend to be into philosophy or know much about it.

I suppose you could read academic articles but usually they require backround knowledge.

Read the Book out loud record it and listen to it. The lectures online are mostly mediocre. The Problem with secoundary sources is you have to trust on others, who give things their own spin and nearly always if they talk about the works of geniuses bring them down to a level even below mediocre especially, if they believe in the Myth of the philosphy that isn't postmodern to be written "complicated/cryptic" on purpose.

If you actually study philosophy you spend far more time reading secondary texts than primary ones. There is nothing wrong with secondary texts per se.
