[buzzing of insects]

00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:59,937
[suspenseful music]

00:01:11,532 --> 00:01:14,576
[birds chirping in distance]

[indistinct chatter]

00:01:28,257 --> 00:01:31,301
[fire crackling]

7
00:01:59,538 --> 00:02:01,290
[sighs]

00:02:02,791 --> 00:02:06,503
[water running]

00:02:09,131 --> 00:02:12,050
[indistinct chatter]

10
00:02:15,762 --> 00:02:16,930
Anya Davis?

11
00:02:17,848 --> 00:02:19,892
Hi, I'm--
Sorry, I'm Cole Keating,

12
00:02:20,142 --> 00:02:21,518
the philosophy department.

13
00:02:21,768 --> 00:02:24,521
- Oh, hi.
- I was on the hiring committee.

14
00:02:24,521 --> 00:02:26,273
- Right.
- Can I?

15
00:02:26,523 --> 00:02:28,191
Yes, yes, yes.
Sure, sure.

16
00:02:28,191 --> 00:02:31,612
Your dissertation
on the Nietzschean will

17
00:02:31,612 --> 00:02:34,281
of individualism
was fascinating.

18
00:02:34,281 --> 00:02:36,617
- Thank you.
- So, I really admire you.

19
00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:38,869
You um-- You cover Nietzsche?

20
00:02:39,119 --> 00:02:43,582
No, no, I focus on
the practices and aesthetics

21
00:02:43,832 --> 00:02:46,919
of the 18th century,
so, Diderot, Voltaire.

22
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,545
- Right. Enlightenment.
- Yes.

23
00:02:48,795 --> 00:02:53,300
Um, although I teach a survey
course here and there.

24
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:55,636
We're so lucky to get you.

25
00:02:56,261 --> 00:02:58,055
Thanks. [chuckles]

26
00:02:58,305 --> 00:03:01,058
Uh, so, will I see you
at the fire tonight?

27
00:03:01,808 --> 00:03:04,478
Sorry, will you see me
at the fire tonight?

28
00:03:04,478 --> 00:03:05,812
Oh, do you not--

29
00:03:06,063 --> 00:03:08,774
- [chuckling]
- No.

30
00:03:09,024 --> 00:03:11,860
Um, so back in 1886,
when Eastling was all men,

31
00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:14,154
at the end of a term,

32
00:03:14,154 --> 00:03:17,240
the students all decided
to burn their books.

33
00:03:18,033 --> 00:03:19,368
It only happened once,

34
00:03:19,368 --> 00:03:20,869
but it sort of
became a tradition.

35
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:23,830
Oh, yeah,
like a ritual of sorts, right?

36
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:27,709
Yeah, it's tonight.
So see you there?

37
00:03:29,169 --> 00:03:30,921
Yeah, sure.

38
00:03:39,179 --> 00:03:42,641
[soft piano melody]

39
00:03:42,641 --> 00:03:45,936
[indistinct chatter]

40
00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:15,424
Hi.

41
00:04:17,009 --> 00:04:18,093
Hi.

42
00:04:21,304 --> 00:04:22,931
- You're new.
- Yes.

43
00:04:23,890 --> 00:04:27,185
I'm a new hire
in the philosophy department.

44
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,605
Anya-- Dr. Davis.

45
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:39,448
Do you believe in all that,
burning of books?

46
00:04:39,448 --> 00:04:42,993
They say
it's this Eastling tradition,

47
00:04:43,243 --> 00:04:45,120
the burning of literature
and the like.

48
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,206
It's actually a serious
practice with meaning.

49
00:04:48,206 --> 00:04:49,666
I hear it's treated as a joke...

50
00:04:50,625 --> 00:04:52,753
people just throwing
their shit into the fire...

51
00:04:53,587 --> 00:04:55,047
leaving the world outside
behind.

52
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,510
When really,
what it actually means...

53
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:03,597
it's eliminating ideology that
may threaten any kind of power.

54
00:05:04,973 --> 00:05:06,099
Burning a person...

55
00:05:07,267 --> 00:05:08,351
burning a mind.

56
00:05:10,562 --> 00:05:12,189
Yeah, I understand that.

57
00:05:12,773 --> 00:05:14,608
So, basically,
all these lunatic co-eds

58
00:05:14,858 --> 00:05:17,277
have taken this practice
and turned it

59
00:05:17,277 --> 00:05:19,613
into a kind of celebration.

60
00:05:21,114 --> 00:05:22,282
A reason to get drunk.

61
00:05:24,201 --> 00:05:26,203
I don't think that's
what education should be about.

62
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:32,459
All right, Anya,
I think we're ready for you.

63
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:49,643
[Dean Johnson] Anya,
can I get you anything?

64
00:05:49,643 --> 00:05:51,061
No, thank you.

65
00:05:52,354 --> 00:05:54,397
This is Joanna Higgins.

66
00:05:54,397 --> 00:05:57,234
She's investigating
the death of Wilder Hewitt.

67
00:05:57,984 --> 00:06:00,612
[Joanna] We've spoken to all of
the students from your seminar.

68
00:06:01,321 --> 00:06:02,906
Wow. All of them?

69
00:06:03,156 --> 00:06:06,576
Except Mara Headley.
We can't get in touch with her.

70
00:06:06,576 --> 00:06:08,203
- Have you heard from her?
- [Anya] No.

71
00:06:10,705 --> 00:06:12,290
And Selena?

72
00:06:13,834 --> 00:06:16,837
Selena Ferreira, my student?

73
00:06:16,837 --> 00:06:18,004
We've spoken with her.

74
00:06:19,965 --> 00:06:23,218
- So, she's okay?
- [Dean Johnson] Yes.

75
00:06:25,554 --> 00:06:26,972
Okay.

76
00:06:27,222 --> 00:06:28,723
We've learned you did
a recording of the class?

77
00:06:28,723 --> 00:06:30,183
Reed Harris shared it with us.

78
00:06:30,433 --> 00:06:32,477
Yes, uh, per my instructions,

79
00:06:32,477 --> 00:06:34,938
I was required to record
all remote classes.

80
00:06:35,689 --> 00:06:37,607
What's strange is
from this specific seminar,

81
00:06:37,607 --> 00:06:39,317
the recording stops.

82
00:06:40,318 --> 00:06:41,862
Is there
a reason you stopped it?

83
00:06:43,155 --> 00:06:46,950
That I stopped the recording?

84
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:50,412
It stops with Reed Harris
saying, and I quote,

85
00:06:50,412 --> 00:06:52,581
"The Upashans have
a theory about this."

86
00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:55,584
He goes on to argue
with Molly Stanovitz.

87
00:06:55,834 --> 00:06:57,878
It gets a little out of hand.
You call five minutes.

88
00:06:58,128 --> 00:07:01,214
Yes, yeah, I had-- I had called
a break in the class.

89
00:07:02,007 --> 00:07:04,509
Yes, and at that point,
someone stopped the recording

90
00:07:04,509 --> 00:07:05,886
and didn't restart it.

91
00:07:07,095 --> 00:07:08,597
We assumed that person was you.

92
00:07:12,851 --> 00:07:15,896
[soft suspenseful melody]

93
00:07:33,538 --> 00:07:34,998

00:08:07,239 --> 00:08:09,908
Oh, hi, Mara. Hi.

104
00:08:11,243 --> 00:08:12,577
[Mara] <i>I can't hear you.</i>

- Hello? Hello, hello, hello?
- Hi, hi.

106
00:08:17,791 --> 00:08:20,502
I can hear you.

107
00:08:20,502 --> 00:08:22,545
- How are you?
- [Mara] <i>Um, I'm okay.</i>

108
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,506
<i>I mean, all my classes
have been on here,</i>

109
00:08:24,756 --> 00:08:26,883
<i>- so I'm kind of--</i>
- [video call chimes]

110
00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:28,927
- [Mara] <i>Hi, Reed.</i>
- Hi.

111
00:08:28,927 --> 00:08:30,303
{\an8}Hey.

112
00:08:30,303 --> 00:08:32,639
{\an8}- Did you just wake up?
- [phone buzzing]

113
00:08:33,181 --> 00:08:34,849
[Reed] <i>Yeah, so?</i>

114
00:08:35,475 --> 00:08:36,977
[Mara] <i>Oh, no. Sorry--</i>

115
00:08:37,227 --> 00:08:38,395
- I'll be right back.
- [Reed] <i>Where's Wilder?</i>

116
00:08:38,395 --> 00:08:39,688
{\an8}He's not with you?

117
00:08:40,939 --> 00:08:42,440
{\an8}No, we, um...

118
00:08:44,401 --> 00:08:48,113
{\an8}uh, we had a fight last night,
so I came back to my dorm.

119
00:08:49,781 --> 00:08:50,865
{\an8}Oh.

120
00:08:52,742 --> 00:08:53,827
{\an8}Cool.

121
00:08:59,958 --> 00:09:02,168
{\an8}[Wilder] <i>This is Wilder.
Leave a message after the beep.</i>

122

- [phone chiming]
- [Reed] <i>Hey.</i>

123
00:09:09,926 --> 00:09:11,219
[Hanna] Hey.

124
00:09:12,429 --> 00:09:15,223
[Reed] <i>You're not part of
this class unless somehow</i>

125
00:09:15,223 --> 00:09:18,184

126
00:09:19,227 --> 00:09:23,023
{\an8}<i>-Are you, like, here to troll?</i>
- Dr. Davis is my mom.

127
00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:25,567
{\an8}- [soft music plays]
- What's that in your background?

128
00:09:25,817 --> 00:09:27,193
{\an8}That's music.

129
00:09:27,193 --> 00:09:29,696
{\an8}I knew that,
but I mean, like, what kind?

130
00:09:31,656 --> 00:09:33,325
{\an8}- Hanna?
- Hi.

131
00:09:34,617 --> 00:09:36,077
{\an8}How did you even get in here?

132
00:09:36,328 --> 00:09:37,912
{\an8}Your calendar synced
to my phone.

133
00:09:38,747 --> 00:09:40,623
{\an8}And all your passwords are saved
there, too, by the way.

134
00:09:40,623 --> 00:09:42,250
{\an8}Uh, you always use the same one.

135
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:43,376
{\an8}Okay, so--

136
00:09:44,961 --> 00:09:46,713
{\an8}So where is everyone?

137
00:09:46,963 --> 00:09:48,506
{\an8}Aren't you two
in the same house?

138
00:09:48,506 --> 00:09:51,051
{\an8}No, Hannah's actually
with her dad this week.

139
00:09:52,761 --> 00:09:55,889
{\an8}So what are you
listening to exactly?

140
00:09:56,973 --> 00:09:58,183
{\an8}[Hanna] Polish jazz.

141
00:09:58,725 --> 00:10:00,393
{\an8}Yeah, I knew that.

142
00:10:00,393 --> 00:10:02,145
{\an8}Yeah, during
the communist takeover,

143
00:10:02,145 --> 00:10:03,897
{\an8}jazz was totally repressed.

144
00:10:03,897 --> 00:10:06,941
{\an8}And when Stalin died,
a new wave began.

145
00:10:06,941 --> 00:10:08,485
{\an8}Krzysztof Komeda? Like--

146
00:10:09,361 --> 00:10:10,445
{\an8}Wow.

147
00:10:11,488 --> 00:10:12,947
{\an8}Polish jazz is the bomb.

148
00:10:14,032 --> 00:10:16,493
{\an8}My dad plays in a band that kind
of emulates the movement.

149
00:10:16,493 --> 00:10:18,203
{\an8}It's not as good, but--

150
00:10:18,203 --> 00:10:19,954
{\an8}[Anya] Hannah, it's really
not time for a concert.

151
00:10:19,954 --> 00:10:21,373
{\an8}Well, it's not a concert.

152
00:10:21,373 --> 00:10:23,500
{\an8}It's just a conversation,
but fine.

153
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,336
{\an8}I'll leave.

154
00:10:26,336 --> 00:10:27,879
Reach out to the others,

155
00:10:28,129 --> 00:10:30,799
and then we can start
officially, officially.

156
00:10:31,049 --> 00:10:32,175
[Reed] Cool.

157
00:10:35,845 --> 00:10:37,222
[phone buzzes]

158
00:10:41,726 --> 00:10:43,436
- [video call chimes]
- [Molly] <i>Hey!</i>

159
00:10:43,436 --> 00:10:44,729
- [Kasper] <i>Hello!</i>
- [Reed] <i>Hi!</i>

160
00:10:44,979 --> 00:10:48,108
{\an8}It's my favorite Molly!
[vocalizes]

161
00:10:48,358 --> 00:10:50,318
{\an8}I don't want to see that.
Put that away.

162
00:10:50,318 --> 00:10:52,487
{\an8}Also, how many Mollys
do you even know?

163
00:10:52,487 --> 00:10:54,322
{\an8}A lot. Like, 12.

164
00:10:54,948 --> 00:10:56,825
{\an8}Yeah, I don't feel special.

165
00:10:56,825 --> 00:11:00,578
{\an8}- Kasper! Nice place, dude.
- Oh, thank you.

166
00:11:00,829 --> 00:11:03,123
{\an8}Yeah, they decided
to give all the funding

167
00:11:03,123 --> 00:11:04,624
{\an8}to foreign student housing,

168
00:11:04,624 --> 00:11:07,210
{\an8}but I'm chill,
because I'm off campus.

169
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:08,920
{\an8}Okay, the dorms aren't that bad.

170
00:11:09,379 --> 00:11:11,089
{\an8}But anyway,
I mean, how are you guys?

171
00:11:11,965 --> 00:11:13,591
{\an8}I don't know. Just vibing.

172
00:11:13,591 --> 00:11:15,760
{\an8}I mean, this whole thing
is so fucking weird.

173
00:11:16,010 --> 00:11:17,429
{\an8}So what are the signs
of this thing?

174
00:11:17,429 --> 00:11:19,055
{\an8}The-- the sweat?

175
00:11:19,055 --> 00:11:21,766
{\an8}Feels weird to say.
Like, the bubonic plague?

176
00:11:22,392 --> 00:11:24,644
{\an8}Well, actually,
"sweat" is much easier to say,

177
00:11:24,644 --> 00:11:26,438
{\an8}because it's one syllable,
"bubonic" is three.

178
00:11:26,688 --> 00:11:28,731
{\an8}Oh, come on, Molly.
You know what I mean.

179
00:11:28,731 --> 00:11:30,900
{\an8}Actually, I don't,
because I've never experienced

180
00:11:31,151 --> 00:11:32,485
{\an8}the bubonic plague.

181
00:11:32,735 --> 00:11:34,320
{\an8}[scoffs] Why don't you tell us
about it, Kasper?

182
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,031
{\an8}Come on, you're--
you're from Germany, right?

183
00:11:37,031 --> 00:11:39,075
{\an8}So, in your homeland,
isn't that the origin

184
00:11:39,325 --> 00:11:41,202
{\an8}of all these hateful
and evil things in the world?

185
00:11:41,453 --> 00:11:42,704
{\an8}I think that's
what Molly is getting at.

186
00:11:42,954 --> 00:11:44,414
{\an8}What, like, the plague?

187
00:11:44,414 --> 00:11:46,499
{\an8}Mm, no, the whole world
blames Germany for,

188
00:11:46,499 --> 00:11:47,876
{\an8}like, every problem.
I swear to God.

189
00:11:48,376 --> 00:11:50,211
{\an8}Where is Dr. Davis?

190
00:11:50,211 --> 00:11:51,421
{\an8}Oh, God.

191
00:11:51,421 --> 00:11:53,339
{\an8}She is looking so hot today.

192
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:55,216
{\an8}Okay, um,
she went to get coffee.

193
00:11:56,176 --> 00:11:58,011
{\an8}Oh, coffee's super important,
by the way.

194
00:11:58,887 --> 00:12:01,264
{\an8}Okay, wait, you guys,
there's this rumor

195
00:12:01,264 --> 00:12:04,517
{\an8}that it, like,
started from this leak

196
00:12:04,517 --> 00:12:07,770
{\an8}in a botched experiment
in the lab at Decker Hall.

197
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:09,189
{\an8}Yeah, I heard that, too.

198
00:12:09,439 --> 00:12:10,982
{\an8}Now, I-- I'm not so sure
that's a rumor, Molly.

199
00:12:11,232 --> 00:12:12,358
{\an8}I think that actually happened.

200
00:12:13,026 --> 00:12:14,736
{\an8}- Really?
- [phone buzzing]

201
00:12:14,736 --> 00:12:16,404
[Kasper] <i>I mean,
it did start somewhere, right?</i>

202
00:12:16,404 --> 00:12:18,323
<i>A-- and if someone
did do it on purpose,</i>

203
00:12:18,323 --> 00:12:22,494
<i>like, uh-- like it was
a deranged science major</i>

204
00:12:22,494 --> 00:12:25,455
<i>or-- or faculty,
what would the purpose be?</i>

205
00:12:25,455 --> 00:12:27,081
<i>Why?</i>

206
00:12:27,081 --> 00:12:28,541
<i>I mean, I happen to think
that it was just</i>

207
00:12:28,541 --> 00:12:30,168
<i>an honest mistake, you know?</i>

208
00:12:30,168 --> 00:12:33,087
{\an8}I-- I-- it doesn't exactly lead
to world domination.

209
00:12:33,713 --> 00:12:35,840
{\an8}We are all crazy.

210
00:12:36,090 --> 00:12:39,636
{\an8}People do crazy shit sometimes.

211
00:12:39,636 --> 00:12:41,054
{\an8}You don't even know.

212
00:12:41,054 --> 00:12:42,430
{\an8}Oh, my God,
put your computer down.

213
00:12:42,430 --> 00:12:43,681
{\an8}It's, like, super disorienting.

214
00:12:44,516 --> 00:12:45,767
{\an8}- Yeah, but, guys...
- Sorry.

215
00:12:46,017 --> 00:12:47,644
{\an8}...someone at Jasper's party
had it,

216
00:12:47,644 --> 00:12:49,729
{\an8}which really disturbs me
because I was there,

217
00:12:49,979 --> 00:12:51,147
{\an8}and so was Wilder.

218
00:12:51,397 --> 00:12:53,149
{\an8}Oh, my God, no way. Who?

219
00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:56,402
{\an8}Uh, Jessica Williams,
the art history major.

220
00:12:56,653 --> 00:12:58,071
{\an8}Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, I know her.

221
00:12:58,071 --> 00:12:59,572
{\an8}But, like, we're fine.

222
00:12:59,572 --> 00:13:01,115
{\an8}Only, like,
three people have it anyway.

223
00:13:01,366 --> 00:13:03,952
{\an8}- No, five.
- No, I heard eight.

224
00:13:03,952 --> 00:13:05,578
{\an8}Okay, this is ridiculous.

225
00:13:05,578 --> 00:13:08,373
{\an8}Like, the entire student body
is, like, what?

226
00:13:08,373 --> 00:13:09,666
{\an8}800 students?

227
00:13:09,916 --> 00:13:11,584
{\an8}So why do we all
have to quarantine

228
00:13:11,584 --> 00:13:13,878
{\an8}and not just those,
like, six or eight people?

229
00:13:14,128 --> 00:13:16,381
{\an8}Well, you know, they don't know
how it spreads, right?

230
00:13:16,381 --> 00:13:18,132
{\an8}If people have touched, uh--

231
00:13:18,383 --> 00:13:20,134
{\an8}Yeah, I've touched a lot of
people in the last week, so...

232
00:13:20,134 --> 00:13:22,595
{\an8}Well, all of that
is under investigation, Reed.

233
00:13:22,595 --> 00:13:25,598
{\an8}Wait, wait, wait, the Sweat
or how many people I've touched?

234
00:13:26,474 --> 00:13:28,685
{\an8}No, but seriously,
Mara, come on.

235
00:13:29,602 --> 00:13:31,104
{\an8}This is a question
of the individual

236
00:13:31,104 --> 00:13:32,522
{\an8}versus the greatest good, right?

237
00:13:32,772 --> 00:13:34,399
{\an8}So, if you want
to selfishly go out

238
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:36,401
{\an8}and-- and do whatever,

239
00:13:36,401 --> 00:13:37,902
{\an8}go to a party
with your boyfriend,

240
00:13:38,152 --> 00:13:40,989
{\an8}you could catch it
from some Hawaiian student,

241
00:13:40,989 --> 00:13:42,699
{\an8}and then you go give it
to your barista,

242
00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:44,659
{\an8}and they go into the city,
and they give it to whomever,

243
00:13:44,659 --> 00:13:47,078
{\an8}and then we're all fucked,
the whole planet.

244
00:13:47,787 --> 00:13:49,831
{\an8}But isn't that where you'd get
herd immunity?

245
00:13:50,081 --> 00:13:51,416
{\an8}[Reed] Herd immunity?

246
00:13:51,416 --> 00:13:54,377
{\an8}I-- I'm sorry,
are you an anti-vaxxer?

247
00:13:54,377 --> 00:13:55,920
{\an8}No, okay, I'm just saying

248
00:13:56,170 --> 00:13:58,506
{\an8}that sometimes you have to
make these decisions.

249
00:13:58,506 --> 00:14:00,425
{\an8}Like, in nature, they accept

250
00:14:00,425 --> 00:14:02,176
{\an8}that the weakest
don't always survive.

251
00:14:02,176 --> 00:14:03,761
{\an8}You-- so, you're talking
about Darwinism?

252
00:14:04,012 --> 00:14:05,722
{\an8}I'm sorry, but we're at a tiny
liberal arts school.

253
00:14:06,472 --> 00:14:07,932
{\an8}What is your point?

254
00:14:07,932 --> 00:14:09,642
{\an8}Okay, I'm just playing
devil's advocate.

255
00:14:09,642 --> 00:14:12,645
{\an8}Like, if we were to go out,
people would survive.

256
00:14:12,895 --> 00:14:15,982
{\an8}Like, humanity would survive.

257
00:14:15,982 --> 00:14:17,984
{\an8}I heard that when you get it...

258
00:14:19,068 --> 00:14:21,988
{\an8}it drips into your sinus system,
and it can make you go blind.

259
00:14:22,238 --> 00:14:23,531
{\an8}Your eyes get all milky

260
00:14:23,531 --> 00:14:25,575
{\an8}- like some old dog.
- What?

261
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:27,619
{\an8}Yeah, dude.

262
00:14:27,619 --> 00:14:29,078
{\an8}- Think about it, Mara.
- Stop it.

263
00:14:29,078 --> 00:14:30,747
{\an8}Your beautiful blue eyes
will get all foamy

264
00:14:30,997 --> 00:14:32,540
{\an8}<i>-like a cappuccino.</i>
- [phone buzzing]

265
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:34,250
[Mara] <i>No,
you're just making that up.</i>

266
00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:35,501
<i>It's not funny.</i>

267
00:14:35,877 --> 00:14:37,587
[Reed] <i>It also fucks
with your, uh,</i>

268
00:14:37,587 --> 00:14:38,963
<i>I don't know if I can say
this in front of--</i>

269
00:14:38,963 --> 00:14:40,048
[Molly] ...anyways,
so, thank you.

270
00:14:40,048 --> 00:14:41,424
{\an8}All right, guys, all right.

271
00:14:41,424 --> 00:14:44,385
{\an8}Who are we still missing?

272
00:14:44,385 --> 00:14:46,554
Um, Parker, Selena.

273
00:14:48,848 --> 00:14:51,267
All right, so what do you think?
Two more minutes?

274
00:14:51,893 --> 00:14:52,977
<i>[Reed] And Wilder.</i>

275
00:14:53,895 --> 00:14:55,355
<i>[Mara] Yeah, he'll be here
soon.</i>

276
00:14:55,813 --> 00:14:59,192
Molly, Molly, bo-bally, banana,
tana, poppoly, me, my, mo Molly.

277
00:14:59,192 --> 00:15:01,694
{\an8}- Where's Hillary?
- She went home.

278
00:15:02,403 --> 00:15:04,656
{\an8}- Fuck. To the city?
- Yeah.

279
00:15:04,656 --> 00:15:06,491
{\an8}She didn't want
to be holed up here any longer

280
00:15:06,491 --> 00:15:08,117
{\an8}than she had to be.

281
00:15:08,117 --> 00:15:10,036
{\an8}I mean, you know,
she's like a real hypochondriac,

282
00:15:10,036 --> 00:15:14,290
{\an8}plus her dad's not really
doing well.

283
00:15:14,290 --> 00:15:16,584
{\an8}- Sorry to hear that.
- Yeah, he's really old.

284
00:15:17,794 --> 00:15:19,629
Well, send her my love.

285
00:15:19,629 --> 00:15:22,256
Um, who-- who is Hillary?

286
00:15:23,007 --> 00:15:24,467
Hillary is Molly's girlfriend.

287
00:15:24,467 --> 00:15:26,344
She was the TA
in my early Greek seminar.

288
00:15:26,344 --> 00:15:28,262
I tried to fuck her,
but she's gay.

289
00:15:29,055 --> 00:15:30,181
Well, actually, she's bi.

290
00:15:30,431 --> 00:15:33,142
She just wasn't into you, so...

291
00:15:33,393 --> 00:15:34,686
- She told me that...
- That's just not true.

292
00:15:34,936 --> 00:15:35,937
...multiple times.

293
00:15:36,729 --> 00:15:39,941
I'm [indistinct] you know,
actually. [indistinct].

294
00:15:40,191 --> 00:15:42,235
- [computer chimes]
- Hello!

295
00:15:42,235 --> 00:15:43,736
Hey, Selena.

296
00:15:44,237 --> 00:15:45,613
I'm sorry I'm late, Dr. Davis.

297
00:15:45,863 --> 00:15:47,907
I had to go
to the clinic this morning.

298
00:15:48,157 --> 00:15:50,410
I, um, I thought
I had the Sweat.

299
00:15:50,410 --> 00:15:51,744
{\an8}Oh, my God, really?

300
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:54,414
{\an8}- [Selena] Yeah.
- I'm so sorry I'm late.

301
00:15:54,414 --> 00:15:56,874
{\an8}I went for a run.

302
00:15:56,874 --> 00:15:59,210
{\an8}- What's up?
- How was that for you?

303
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:02,130
{\an8}Well, no one's out,
and my endorphins are flowing,

304
00:16:02,130 --> 00:16:03,840
{\an8}so I feel really good.

305
00:16:04,090 --> 00:16:06,509
{\an8}Last night,
I threw my own personal rave.

306
00:16:06,968 --> 00:16:08,636
Oh, I did the same thing, too.

307
00:16:08,886 --> 00:16:10,930
I pretended
I was in a club in Berlin

308
00:16:10,930 --> 00:16:12,557
- with all the lights.
- Exactly.

309
00:16:12,557 --> 00:16:15,893
- But I wasn't in Berlin.
- Okay, Parker, thank you.

310
00:16:15,893 --> 00:16:18,813
Can you--
can you take a seat and join us?

311
00:16:19,063 --> 00:16:21,649
{\an8}- [computer chimes]
- Hey. Sorry.

312
00:16:22,650 --> 00:16:24,152
- [computer chimes]
- [synthetic voice] <i>Recording.</i>

313
00:16:24,777 --> 00:16:26,028
Okay, let's start.

314
00:16:26,028 --> 00:16:27,905
Sorry, can I just say one thing?

315
00:16:28,156 --> 00:16:29,866
I-- It's relevant, I promise.

316
00:16:30,116 --> 00:16:32,618
[laughing] No.

317
00:16:32,618 --> 00:16:35,621
{\an8}I sold <i>Lucinda and the Argonauts</i>

318
00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:37,331
{\an8}to Fox Pictures.

319
00:16:37,582 --> 00:16:39,375
I'm so excited.
I can't believe it.

320
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:42,545
{\an8}- [Parker] That's amazing.
- It is so popular in Germany.

321
00:16:42,545 --> 00:16:43,588
{\an8}What's that?

322
00:16:43,838 --> 00:16:45,423
{\an8}A-- a young adult novel.

323
00:16:45,423 --> 00:16:47,049
{\an8}- [Anya] Congratulations, Selena.
- Okay.

324
00:16:47,592 --> 00:16:48,676
{\an8}Thank you.

325
00:16:50,344 --> 00:16:52,555
{\an8}But we need
<i>Lucinda and the Argonauts?</i>

326
00:16:53,931 --> 00:16:54,891
{\an8}Come on, Molly.

327
00:16:55,141 --> 00:16:56,350
{\an8}I just don't really know

328
00:16:56,350 --> 00:16:57,602
{\an8}what this has to do
with philosophy.

329
00:16:57,852 --> 00:17:00,354
{\an8}Oh, but it has, like,
everything to do

330
00:17:00,354 --> 00:17:02,482
{\an8}- with philosophy.
- Okay.

331
00:17:02,482 --> 00:17:04,567
Anyway, Lucinda is faced

332
00:17:04,817 --> 00:17:07,403
with so many
fight-or-flight situations.

333
00:17:07,653 --> 00:17:10,573
You know, monsters, saboteurs,

334
00:17:10,573 --> 00:17:13,785
the natural elements,
all working against her.

335
00:17:14,243 --> 00:17:16,454
There is a big fight on the sea,

336
00:17:16,454 --> 00:17:18,581
so you don't know
if she's gonna make it or not.

337
00:17:18,831 --> 00:17:21,459
And then, over the course
of 300 or so odd pages,

338
00:17:21,459 --> 00:17:24,212
you realize
that she's superhuman.

339
00:17:24,212 --> 00:17:26,380
{\an8}[doorbell chimes]

340
00:17:27,632 --> 00:17:29,717
{\an8}- [Molly] Oh, I...
- [Parker] Nice, Molly.

341
00:17:29,967 --> 00:17:31,427
{\an8}...did not mean
to send that to everybody.

342
00:17:31,677 --> 00:17:33,930
{\an8}[Parker] Okay, wait.
You kind of may have a point.

343
00:17:34,180 --> 00:17:36,724
[indistinct] it feels medieval.

344
00:17:36,974 --> 00:17:38,559
Like, maybe we're going back
to the biblical plagues

345
00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:40,144
of the Greeks and Romans.

346
00:17:40,144 --> 00:17:42,438
You know,
Nietzsche was a classicist.

347
00:17:42,438 --> 00:17:45,149
{\an8}- [clears throat]
- Really?

348
00:17:45,149 --> 00:17:49,195
Yeah, he was. Yeah, actually.
Parker, thank you.

349
00:17:49,195 --> 00:17:51,072
And Selena, thank you.

350
00:17:51,322 --> 00:17:52,698
I, um, I--

351
00:17:52,949 --> 00:17:56,327
I wanted to start
today's seminar by taking a look

352
00:17:56,327 --> 00:17:58,830
at Nietzsche's roots
to classicism,

353
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,624
which, of course, is covered
in this week's reading.

354
00:18:01,624 --> 00:18:04,377
So, if we go back
to Greek mythology,

355
00:18:04,377 --> 00:18:08,089
what we have here is--
is a kind of storytelling,

356
00:18:08,339 --> 00:18:10,925
a way of transcribing
the human experience

357
00:18:10,925 --> 00:18:12,468
in a way that I think
Nietzsche has felt

358
00:18:12,468 --> 00:18:14,470
that we have strayed from

359
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:19,350
or, um, lost contact with.

360
00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:20,768
So, what I'm talking about...

361
00:18:22,019 --> 00:18:23,354
is a storytelling.

362
00:18:23,604 --> 00:18:25,481
Mythology is a storytelling

363
00:18:25,731 --> 00:18:28,901
that sort of encompasses
the carnal,

364
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:30,987
the animal, the spiritual,

365
00:18:31,237 --> 00:18:33,698
the intellectual, even madness,

366
00:18:33,948 --> 00:18:35,992
all of these elements
of the human experience

367
00:18:36,242 --> 00:18:37,618
come together.

368
00:18:37,618 --> 00:18:41,747
And then also, um,
this-- this idea of...

369
00:18:41,747 --> 00:18:44,625
destiny and fate being, um,

370
00:18:44,625 --> 00:18:47,879
being based on one's type
or one's character.

371
00:18:48,129 --> 00:18:49,797
As Plato says, uh,

372
00:18:49,797 --> 00:18:52,508
character is destiny.

373
00:18:52,508 --> 00:18:55,386
But so what you have

374
00:18:55,636 --> 00:18:58,598
with the rational philosophers

375
00:18:58,598 --> 00:19:01,309
who have completely strayed
from this type of...

376
00:19:02,351 --> 00:19:04,186
of storytelling,
what we have with them

377
00:19:04,186 --> 00:19:07,982
is more of a-- a--
a-- a doctrinization

378
00:19:08,232 --> 00:19:11,360
and a-- a rationalization,

379
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,279
a separation

380
00:19:13,529 --> 00:19:16,073
of all of these elements, uh...

381
00:19:17,158 --> 00:19:21,954
in a way that I think
Nietzsche finds...

382
00:19:21,954 --> 00:19:24,832
much less complex, you know?

383
00:19:25,082 --> 00:19:27,001
Uh, this--

384
00:19:27,001 --> 00:19:30,254
this experience of living,
you know,

385
00:19:30,504 --> 00:19:33,966
the Leibniz philosophy, Kasper.

386
00:19:33,966 --> 00:19:35,718
{\an8}Yeah, philosophy of life.

387
00:19:35,968 --> 00:19:38,179
{\an8}Kierkegaard was also
implicated in this.

388
00:19:38,429 --> 00:19:40,056
{\an8}- Schopenhauer, too, actually.
- [Anya] Right.

389
00:19:40,306 --> 00:19:41,349
So now look, I mean...

390
00:19:42,683 --> 00:19:44,977
Nietzsche's a philosopher
who is-- He's-- he's--

391
00:19:45,227 --> 00:19:46,938
he's very difficult to explore

392
00:19:47,188 --> 00:19:49,315
in a session like this.

393
00:19:49,315 --> 00:19:50,816
I mean, we could spend
forever really--

394
00:19:51,067 --> 00:19:53,069
{\an8}Sorry, can we just go back
to this idea

395
00:19:53,069 --> 00:19:55,655
{\an8}of fate and destiny
being based on your type

396
00:19:55,905 --> 00:19:57,615
{\an8}- or your character?
- [Anya] Yeah, yeah.

397
00:19:58,366 --> 00:20:01,410
{\an8}Okay, so character is destiny,

398
00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:02,578
{\an8}as Plato says,

399
00:20:02,828 --> 00:20:04,997
{\an8}but what about circumstance

400
00:20:04,997 --> 00:20:06,916
{\an8}and chance shaping your destiny?

401
00:20:07,166 --> 00:20:10,628
{\an8}I mean, I was raised
by two women, two moms, okay?

402
00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:12,922
And, you know,
they lived in, like,

403
00:20:13,172 --> 00:20:14,632
a completely separate reality.

404
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:18,135
They were cool and progressive,
you know, sure,

405
00:20:18,135 --> 00:20:20,638
but they are incredibly
brilliant, both of them,

406
00:20:20,888 --> 00:20:24,225
and they essentially forced me
to come here.

407
00:20:24,475 --> 00:20:26,102
{\an8}I mean,
I didn't even really know

408
00:20:26,352 --> 00:20:29,313
{\an8}if I wanted to pursue college,
higher education in general,

409
00:20:29,563 --> 00:20:32,650
{\an8}but they wanted
a higher existence for me,

410
00:20:32,650 --> 00:20:35,861
{\an8}- so now I'm here.
- Because that's what you wanted.

411
00:20:36,112 --> 00:20:38,072
{\an8}Well, no, even if I want this,
I want that,

412
00:20:38,322 --> 00:20:41,409
{\an8}I'm still living
their trajectory for me

413
00:20:41,409 --> 00:20:42,576
{\an8}by getting a degree.

414
00:20:44,829 --> 00:20:47,498
Yes, Molly.

415
00:20:48,249 --> 00:20:50,668
Before we get into this,
I-- I-- I think it's crucial

416
00:20:50,668 --> 00:20:52,420
that in-- in order to understand

417
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:54,964
these somewhat
controversial ideas here

418
00:20:54,964 --> 00:20:57,717
that we really need to, um,

419
00:20:57,967 --> 00:21:00,344
we really need to know
about the 19th century

420
00:21:00,344 --> 00:21:01,804
in terms of the historical,

421
00:21:01,804 --> 00:21:04,515
political, philosophical climate

422
00:21:04,515 --> 00:21:07,810
in which Nietzsche emerged.

423
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:09,687
{\an8}So, look,
the 19th century can-- can--

424
00:21:09,687 --> 00:21:12,148
{\an8}can really be separated
into two very distinct parts.

425
00:21:12,398 --> 00:21:16,485
{\an8}We have before 1848, 1850,
and after.

426
00:21:16,944 --> 00:21:18,237
Can anyone speak to me

427
00:21:18,487 --> 00:21:21,657
about what is happening
in Europe

428
00:21:21,907 --> 00:21:23,993
at this time?

429
00:21:23,993 --> 00:21:25,619
Well, the revolutions of 1848...

430
00:21:25,619 --> 00:21:26,746
[Wilder] Sorry,
it's just, like...

431
00:21:26,746 --> 00:21:27,872
...are some of the largest--

432
00:21:27,872 --> 00:21:29,540
...kind of sounds like

433
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:31,417
we're just kind of reading
from an encyclopedia.

434
00:21:32,501 --> 00:21:33,586
{\an8}Sorry?

435
00:21:34,295 --> 00:21:35,504
{\an8}[Wilder] No, it's just
not very challenging.

436
00:21:35,504 --> 00:21:37,423
{\an8}I mean, this seminar, right,

437
00:21:37,423 --> 00:21:38,966
{\an8}this whole class is supposed
to be a challenging discussion,

438
00:21:38,966 --> 00:21:42,511
{\an8}supposed to move things forward,
I just...

439
00:21:42,511 --> 00:21:44,472
{\an8}I'm not really challenged.

440
00:21:44,472 --> 00:21:47,850
{\an8}We just started the discussion,
like, a few minutes ago, um--

441
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:51,937
{\an8}I know, but challenge me,
or I'll challenge you.

442
00:21:51,937 --> 00:21:53,272
{\an8}So, uh...

443
00:21:54,607 --> 00:21:57,234
{\an8}so what we see happening here

444
00:21:57,234 --> 00:21:59,195
{\an8}in the middle
of the 19th century is this,

445
00:21:59,445 --> 00:22:01,989
{\an8}like, major reconstruction

446
00:22:01,989 --> 00:22:05,117
{\an8}or reconstitution
of liberal values

447
00:22:05,117 --> 00:22:06,285
{\an8}with the restitution

448
00:22:06,535 --> 00:22:08,871
{\an8}of the Bourbon monarchy
in France

449
00:22:09,121 --> 00:22:12,124
{\an8}and with the apotheosis
of Bismarck in Germany.

450
00:22:12,124 --> 00:22:13,959
{\an8}So, these two events, in a way,

451
00:22:13,959 --> 00:22:16,378
{\an8}sort of denied
all of this progress

452
00:22:16,378 --> 00:22:18,631
{\an8}that the revolutions in--
in France

453
00:22:18,631 --> 00:22:21,967
{\an8}and in America had made
in the previous century.

454
00:22:22,218 --> 00:22:24,261
{\an8}Um, up to this point,

455
00:22:24,261 --> 00:22:26,764
{\an8}history and politics

456
00:22:26,764 --> 00:22:29,391
{\an8}and art and philosophy

457
00:22:29,391 --> 00:22:31,727
{\an8}were all sort of converging

458
00:22:31,977 --> 00:22:35,064
{\an8}and building unilaterally,

459
00:22:35,064 --> 00:22:38,109
{\an8}cohesively, on top
of one another

460
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,570
{\an8}towards this notion of progress.

461
00:22:41,821 --> 00:22:44,240
{\an8}Um, but now, all of a sudden,

462
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,493
{\an8}there's this sort of
terrifying reversal.

463
00:22:47,743 --> 00:22:50,246
{\an8}And-- and you know,
this-- this of course,

464
00:22:50,246 --> 00:22:52,248
{\an8}really, um,

465
00:22:52,498 --> 00:22:54,458
{\an8}throws things on their head.

466
00:22:54,458 --> 00:22:57,795
{\an8}So, a large sense
of-- of nihilism looms.

467
00:22:57,795 --> 00:23:00,422
{\an8}Um, and what we have now
with Nietzsche

468
00:23:00,422 --> 00:23:03,676
{\an8}and his contemporaries

469
00:23:03,926 --> 00:23:06,971
{\an8}are, um-- Or let's look
at these artists.

470
00:23:07,221 --> 00:23:08,472
{\an8}So, the-- the--

471
00:23:08,472 --> 00:23:10,558
{\an8}the celebrated artists
of the time

472
00:23:10,558 --> 00:23:13,352
{\an8}are Van Gogh, Monet, Manet.

473
00:23:13,811 --> 00:23:15,271
Uh, what you're looking at here

474
00:23:15,521 --> 00:23:17,606
is the emergence
of an avant-garde

475
00:23:17,606 --> 00:23:19,024
for the first time, you know?

476
00:23:19,275 --> 00:23:22,903
Uh, you have a, uh,
an avant-garde class,

477
00:23:23,154 --> 00:23:26,448
a rejection of institutions,
of religions, of--

478
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:28,033
The, uh, the-- the rejects,
the Salon des Refusés.

479
00:23:28,284 --> 00:23:29,618
[Anya] Right. That's right.

480
00:23:29,869 --> 00:23:32,913
{\an8}These people become the stars
of the moment.

481
00:23:33,164 --> 00:23:34,165
Nietzsche...

482
00:23:35,833 --> 00:23:37,668
is re-evaluating

483
00:23:37,918 --> 00:23:40,629
our whole philosophical
tradition, in a sense.

484
00:23:40,629 --> 00:23:44,550
There is no longer any sort of
pan-universal set of truths

485
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,553
for which we could all sort of
ascribe meaning.

486
00:23:47,803 --> 00:23:49,263
{\an8}Um, it's the individual

487
00:23:49,513 --> 00:23:51,557
{\an8}that must search
for the salvation.

488
00:23:51,557 --> 00:23:54,059
{\an8}So, who
and what does he introduce

489
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:58,772
{\an8}to express
this ultimate aspiration?

490
00:23:58,772 --> 00:24:01,734
- Anyone?
- He introduces the Ubermensch.

491
00:24:02,902 --> 00:24:06,363
Okay, Mara, okay.
So, let's unpack that.

492
00:24:06,363 --> 00:24:07,865
{\an8}Well, through Ubermensch,

493
00:24:07,865 --> 00:24:09,783
{\an8}Nietzsche introduces

494
00:24:09,783 --> 00:24:12,077
{\an8}the idea of a superior man,

495
00:24:12,328 --> 00:24:16,123
{\an8}who can rise above conventional
Christian morality

496
00:24:16,123 --> 00:24:19,293
{\an8}to create and impose
his own set of values.

497
00:24:19,543 --> 00:24:21,003
{\an8}Well, that's just bullshit

498
00:24:21,003 --> 00:24:23,297
{\an8}because what you're describing
is patriarchy.

499
00:24:23,547 --> 00:24:26,425
{\an8}Not patriarchy. Hierarchy.

500
00:24:26,425 --> 00:24:28,802
{\an8}And hierarchy should,
and does, exist.

501
00:24:28,802 --> 00:24:31,472
{\an8}I mean,
even in this class, right?

502
00:24:32,806 --> 00:24:36,644
{\an8}Yeah, there's a hierarchy
created by who will progress

503
00:24:36,894 --> 00:24:38,646
{\an8}and excel in this environment.

504
00:24:38,646 --> 00:24:40,731
{\an8}You know, who will get an A
at the end of the semester.

505
00:24:40,981 --> 00:24:41,857
{\an8}[Wilder] Exactly, Mara.

506
00:24:42,107 --> 00:24:43,609
{\an8}And I feel like it's, uh,

507
00:24:43,609 --> 00:24:45,736
{\an8}the most important part of
that is to consider

508
00:24:45,986 --> 00:24:49,114
{\an8}what happens if society
or this class

509
00:24:49,365 --> 00:24:52,785
{\an8}or structure accepts
the Ubermensch, right?

510
00:24:53,035 --> 00:24:56,622
{\an8}The Ubermensch may harm others,
may overtake others.

511
00:24:57,248 --> 00:24:59,625
{\an8}Therefore, one adheres
to suffering,

512
00:24:59,875 --> 00:25:02,002
{\an8}accepting the earth,
but aiming to be above it,

513
00:25:02,253 --> 00:25:04,171
{\an8}to be above mankind.

514
00:25:04,171 --> 00:25:06,006
You're really cute.
Are you dating?

515
00:25:07,091 --> 00:25:08,884
Isn't that one of the theories
Hitler used

516
00:25:09,134 --> 00:25:10,302
to define the Holocaust?

517
00:25:11,011 --> 00:25:13,264
{\an8}Creating and perfecting
the master race, yeah.

518
00:25:13,514 --> 00:25:15,099
{\an8}Uh, I--
I do want to state, though,

519
00:25:15,099 --> 00:25:17,309
{\an8}before we kind of delve
into that,

520
00:25:17,309 --> 00:25:18,894
{\an8}that-- that-- that--

521
00:25:19,144 --> 00:25:20,938
{\an8}that it was through
misinterpretation, of course,

522
00:25:20,938 --> 00:25:24,608
{\an8}that Hitler and others were able
to exploit Nietzschean--

523
00:25:24,608 --> 00:25:25,985
The Lebensborn program.

524
00:25:26,735 --> 00:25:29,363
- The what?
- His <i>Das Lebensborn-Programm.</i>

525
00:25:29,363 --> 00:25:33,367
The Lebensborn program
was created by Hitler to, um,

526
00:25:33,367 --> 00:25:36,620
in a sense, spring to life
the master race, right?

527
00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:40,833
So basically, he created
breeding facilities

528
00:25:40,833 --> 00:25:43,544
where Aryan women
were recruited,

529
00:25:43,794 --> 00:25:45,629
uh, to be impregnated

530
00:25:45,629 --> 00:25:47,506
by genetically pure SS officers.

531
00:25:47,756 --> 00:25:50,009
{\an8}42,000.

532
00:25:50,009 --> 00:25:52,845
{\an8}There were 42,000 babies

533
00:25:52,845 --> 00:25:54,263
{\an8}produced during that time.

534
00:25:54,263 --> 00:25:55,764
{\an8}Yeah, my grandfather
was one of them.

535
00:25:55,764 --> 00:25:57,182
{\an8}He-- he was born
from the program.

536
00:25:57,433 --> 00:25:58,600
{\an8}Really? That is fascinating.

537
00:26:00,102 --> 00:26:02,354
So this--
this Sweat, right, this--

538
00:26:02,354 --> 00:26:04,565
this illness
that's going around campus,

539
00:26:04,815 --> 00:26:07,026
could just be, like,
some kind of mindset.

540
00:26:07,276 --> 00:26:08,569
Like some kind of

541
00:26:08,819 --> 00:26:11,530
psychological
or sociological experiment.

542
00:26:12,239 --> 00:26:14,199
I mean, not even real.

543
00:26:14,450 --> 00:26:16,327
Yeah, I mean,
I have thought this all along,

544
00:26:16,327 --> 00:26:17,995
you know?

545
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:19,705
So, one person is so convinced
that they have it,

546
00:26:19,955 --> 00:26:21,165
then it spreads
to another person

547
00:26:21,415 --> 00:26:22,875
who also feigns illness,

548
00:26:22,875 --> 00:26:24,960
and eventually,
we all have it, right?

549
00:26:25,210 --> 00:26:26,962
Or we think we do,
and then we succumb

550
00:26:27,212 --> 00:26:29,590
to some kind of, like,
widespread hysteria.

551
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,633
{\an8}Well, okay, Selena, I guess if--

552
00:26:31,633 --> 00:26:33,886
{\an8}if we're going to
switch gears here,

553
00:26:34,136 --> 00:26:35,596
{\an8}if we were to view this moment

554
00:26:35,846 --> 00:26:37,973
{\an8}through a Nietzschean lens,
we might...

555
00:26:39,433 --> 00:26:41,894
{\an8}see it as mass hysteria or--

556
00:26:42,144 --> 00:26:46,065
{\an8}or conformity of sorts
of the weaker man,

557
00:26:46,065 --> 00:26:48,233
{\an8}- the weaker spirit.
- [Wilder] Yes, yes.

558
00:26:48,650 --> 00:26:51,403
{\an8}But I still feel like
that's missing something.

559
00:26:51,403 --> 00:26:54,782
{\an8}I mean, it's-- it is a theory
about power and control,

560
00:26:54,782 --> 00:26:57,493
{\an8}the masses,
the conformity of the herd, yes.

561
00:26:58,535 --> 00:27:01,622
{\an8}But you're missing
that if we become above man,

562
00:27:01,622 --> 00:27:04,875
{\an8}if we become the Uberman,
then we can't get sick.

563
00:27:05,125 --> 00:27:06,627
{\an8}I mean, not in that way.

564
00:27:06,877 --> 00:27:10,047
{\an8}I thought suffering
was elevated in the Ubermensch.

565
00:27:10,047 --> 00:27:12,216
{\an8}Uh, uh, it is, it is.

566
00:27:12,216 --> 00:27:14,760
{\an8}So, I'm not sure I'm--
I-- I'm not sure I'm following

567
00:27:15,010 --> 00:27:16,678
{\an8}or agreeing
with your point, Wilder.

568
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,430
{\an8}Can we go back for a second?

569
00:27:18,430 --> 00:27:21,225
{\an8}Nietzsche denounced God, right?
Like, threw him out?

570
00:27:21,225 --> 00:27:23,852
{\an8}Well, you know, this idea
of throwing off religion

571
00:27:24,103 --> 00:27:26,855
{\an8}is kind of a sort of part
of the moral nihilism

572
00:27:27,106 --> 00:27:28,482
{\an8}of Nietzschean philosophy.

573
00:27:28,482 --> 00:27:31,485
{\an8}So, really, if you're a follower
of anything of--

574
00:27:31,485 --> 00:27:34,571
{\an8}of an institution,
of a religion, of whatever,

575
00:27:34,822 --> 00:27:36,949
{\an8}you're hoarding
your individualism.

576
00:27:37,574 --> 00:27:41,245
{\an8}Okay, but he also claimed
there was a crisis of nihilism.

577
00:27:41,245 --> 00:27:42,621
{\an8}He didn't throw God away.

578
00:27:42,621 --> 00:27:43,872
{\an8}He admitted
that the death of God

579
00:27:44,123 --> 00:27:45,666
{\an8}would profoundly disrupt
society.

580
00:27:46,542 --> 00:27:49,086
{\an8}Remember, religion at this time
was the construct

581
00:27:49,086 --> 00:27:50,587
{\an8}through which individuals
organized

582
00:27:50,587 --> 00:27:52,214
{\an8}their sense of the world.

583
00:27:52,214 --> 00:27:54,842
{\an8}Therefore, the loss of God
was a loss of coherence,

584
00:27:55,092 --> 00:27:56,593
{\an8}- a loss of objective truth.
- [Anya] Yeah. Yes.

585
00:27:56,593 --> 00:27:59,179
God, I forgot
how smart you are, Parker.

586
00:27:59,430 --> 00:28:00,597
Um, who here believes in God?

587
00:28:01,223 --> 00:28:02,975
Reed, we're not going to do
a poll

588
00:28:03,225 --> 00:28:04,685
on people's religious beliefs.

589
00:28:04,685 --> 00:28:07,187
I feel like it's valuable
to the discussion.

590
00:28:07,438 --> 00:28:08,689
{\an8}Uh, Wilder,

591
00:28:08,689 --> 00:28:10,441
{\an8}- what about you, man?
- What?

592
00:28:11,442 --> 00:28:13,652
{\an8}- Do you believe in God?
- No.

593
00:28:13,652 --> 00:28:15,362
{\an8}So you're an agnostic?

594
00:28:15,362 --> 00:28:17,948
{\an8}- I'm an atheist.
- Whatever, same difference.

595
00:28:18,198 --> 00:28:19,616
{\an8}Actually, they're not similar
at all.

596
00:28:19,616 --> 00:28:21,076
You don't believe in God.
We got it.

597
00:28:21,326 --> 00:28:22,911
Mara, what about you?
Do you believe in God?

598
00:28:23,162 --> 00:28:26,123
I-- I have a feeling
that might affect your coupling.

599
00:28:26,832 --> 00:28:28,208
Are we really doing this?

600
00:28:28,459 --> 00:28:30,544
Why are you so interested
in our relationship?

601
00:28:31,086 --> 00:28:32,171
Good question.

602
00:28:33,505 --> 00:28:34,548
{\an8}[Anya] Um...

603
00:28:34,798 --> 00:28:36,091
{\an8}Mara does not believe in God.

604
00:28:36,341 --> 00:28:37,634
{\an8}...okay, look--

605
00:28:37,634 --> 00:28:39,636
{\an8}- I'm right here.
- Okay, all right, cool.

606
00:28:39,636 --> 00:28:41,597
While I do think
that personal beliefs

607
00:28:41,847 --> 00:28:43,724
can be relevant
to our discussions,

608
00:28:43,974 --> 00:28:45,350
I'm-- I'm-- I'm really not sure

609
00:28:45,601 --> 00:28:47,019
why it's coming up
right here, Reed.

610
00:28:47,561 --> 00:28:49,688
{\an8}But Anya, you yourself
always talk about

611
00:28:49,688 --> 00:28:50,939
{\an8}how you're from Pittsburgh,

612
00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:52,900
{\an8}how that's shaped
your personal views,

613
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:54,526
{\an8}how you move through the world.

614
00:28:54,526 --> 00:28:55,903
{\an8}I mean, shouldn't we be doing
the same thing?

615
00:28:55,903 --> 00:28:57,696
{\an8}How did we get to Pittsburgh?

616
00:28:57,696 --> 00:28:59,281
{\an8}Yeah, I didn't know that.

617
00:28:59,281 --> 00:29:01,950
{\an8}When did she mention
being from Pittsburgh?

618
00:29:02,201 --> 00:29:03,702
{\an8}Where's Pittsburgh?

619
00:29:03,952 --> 00:29:07,873
{\an8}Look, I-- it's possible
that I have mentioned things

620
00:29:08,123 --> 00:29:09,500
{\an8}in previous classes.

621
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:13,337
The point is
is that no one has to adhere

622
00:29:13,337 --> 00:29:16,256
to any of these theories,
obviously, in order to study--

623
00:29:16,256 --> 00:29:19,426
Wait, okay,
so I was raised Catholic, right?

624
00:29:19,426 --> 00:29:20,844
I, like,
went to a Catholic high school.

625
00:29:21,094 --> 00:29:22,471
Okay, can we--

626
00:29:22,471 --> 00:29:24,139
No, wait, Dr. Davis, I--

627
00:29:24,139 --> 00:29:26,058
I promise I'm gonna
make my point really quick,

628
00:29:26,058 --> 00:29:27,684
- and it's relevant.
- [Anya] All right.

629
00:29:27,935 --> 00:29:30,479
Like, all that we were
talking about earlier, right?

630
00:29:30,479 --> 00:29:32,773
How you're bringing influences
to your being,

631
00:29:33,023 --> 00:29:35,609
or you wanting to be like them,
or whatever.

632
00:29:35,859 --> 00:29:38,195
But, see, as I grew up,

633
00:29:38,195 --> 00:29:41,031
I made the decision
not to be Catholic anymore.

634
00:29:41,281 --> 00:29:42,658
Can you-- Selena,

635
00:29:42,658 --> 00:29:44,910
can you please stop
co-opting the class,

636
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,620
just to interrupt Dr. Davis

637
00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:48,830
and say something
completely irrelevant?

638
00:29:49,748 --> 00:29:53,502
{\an8}What Selena is saying
is not completely unrelated.

639
00:29:56,922 --> 00:29:58,590
{\an8}Let's take a second here.

640
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,636
{\an8}I-- it is clear that people pray
to a higher spiritual being,

641
00:30:02,636 --> 00:30:04,763
{\an8}or a god, or institution,

642
00:30:05,013 --> 00:30:07,349
{\an8}or the like, in dark times

643
00:30:07,349 --> 00:30:09,643
{\an8}because they want something
to believe in.

644
00:30:09,643 --> 00:30:12,271
{\an8}I mean, much like we're doing
in this class right now.

645
00:30:13,522 --> 00:30:15,816
{\an8}Yeah, I mean,
God has stood the test of time

646
00:30:16,066 --> 00:30:17,901
{\an8}because much of society

647
00:30:18,151 --> 00:30:19,903
{\an8}- is entirely hopeless.
- Right.

648
00:30:20,153 --> 00:30:23,532
{\an8}And our judgment

649
00:30:23,782 --> 00:30:25,158
{\an8}of others is fickle.

650
00:30:25,158 --> 00:30:26,952
{\an8}I mean, actually, Molly,
when you think about it,

651
00:30:26,952 --> 00:30:29,788
{\an8}there is no right and wrong
when it comes to beliefs.

652
00:30:31,498 --> 00:30:33,166
{\an8}Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

653
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:36,128
So you're saying Hitler,
and like, all of his beliefs,

654
00:30:36,128 --> 00:30:39,298
attempting to exterminate
the entire Jewish population

655
00:30:39,298 --> 00:30:40,882
was correct?

656
00:30:41,341 --> 00:30:42,676
[Wilder] No, that's not
what I'm saying at all.

657
00:30:42,926 --> 00:30:44,803
Or the way
the Russians decided to hide

658
00:30:45,053 --> 00:30:46,930
<i>what actually happened
at Chernobyl</i>

659
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:49,099
in order to glorify
their country

660
00:30:49,349 --> 00:30:50,976
and maintain
their politics, their beliefs.

661
00:30:51,226 --> 00:30:52,519
That's all a-okay?

662
00:30:53,562 --> 00:30:55,731
It's not an issue of morality,
which is the trap

663
00:30:55,981 --> 00:30:58,233
that this conversation
keeps falling into.

664
00:30:58,233 --> 00:31:00,861
So, if it's not an issue
of morality...

665
00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:03,530
what is the metric
that defines this?

666
00:31:03,780 --> 00:31:05,032
[Molly] <i>Well, I'm not--
I'm not moralizing though.</i>

667
00:31:05,032 --> 00:31:06,199
[Wilder] <i>not morality,</i>

668
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:08,035
<i>- it's vitality.</i>
- That's right.

669
00:31:08,035 --> 00:31:09,411
{\an8}The strength of character
is all.

670
00:31:09,411 --> 00:31:10,537
- That's right.
- Yeah.

671
00:31:10,537 --> 00:31:11,622
It's an issue of vitality.

672
00:31:11,872 --> 00:31:14,333
And by the way, Molly, you know,

673
00:31:14,333 --> 00:31:17,794
those are two
more obvious examples, right?

674
00:31:17,794 --> 00:31:20,047
You know, kind of generic.

675
00:31:21,256 --> 00:31:23,342
You can be a little more
specific is all I'm saying.

676
00:31:23,342 --> 00:31:27,054
I'm sorry my digression offended
so many people.

677
00:31:27,554 --> 00:31:30,557
Wow, Molly, I am so impressed

678
00:31:30,557 --> 00:31:32,601
with you apologizing
for your behavior.

679
00:31:32,851 --> 00:31:35,937
I am just pointing out
to you, Wilder,

680
00:31:35,937 --> 00:31:37,564
that what you are saying,

681
00:31:37,814 --> 00:31:40,359
despite your expertise
on all subjects all the time,

682
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:42,736
is not always correct.

683
00:31:42,986 --> 00:31:45,572
Yeah, but I never said I was.

684
00:31:45,572 --> 00:31:48,367
{\an8}Well, then it's an incredibly
calculated performance.

685
00:31:50,911 --> 00:31:52,454
{\an8}Oh, no one's gonna back me up.

686
00:31:52,454 --> 00:31:55,248
{\an8}Okay, cool.
That's awesome. Great.

687
00:31:57,668 --> 00:31:59,628
{\an8}At my bar mitzvah,
my pants split

688
00:31:59,628 --> 00:32:01,880
{\an8}during the chair dance.

689
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,256
{\an8}Oh.

690
00:32:03,507 --> 00:32:05,634
{\an8}Never set foot
in a synagogue again.

691
00:32:06,718 --> 00:32:09,888
{\an8}So, you gave up
the entirety of Judaism

692
00:32:09,888 --> 00:32:12,099
{\an8}because your pants split?

693
00:32:12,099 --> 00:32:14,643
{\an8}Well that and the whole
singing in Hebrew part.

694
00:32:14,643 --> 00:32:16,019
{\an8}That's pretty tough.

695
00:32:16,019 --> 00:32:17,479
{\an8}[Reed] Don't worry
about it, dude.

696
00:32:17,729 --> 00:32:19,690
{\an8}I went to so many
bar mitzvahs when I was a kid.

697
00:32:19,690 --> 00:32:21,233
{\an8}I technically lost
my virginity at one.

698
00:32:21,233 --> 00:32:22,984
{\an8}I got a BJ
from this girl with braces.

699
00:32:22,984 --> 00:32:25,987
{\an8}Oh, my God. Reed, shut up.
Shut-- Just stop talking.

700
00:32:25,987 --> 00:32:28,949
{\an8}Nobody wants to hear
about your BJ.

701
00:32:29,199 --> 00:32:30,659
{\an8}I mean, we were having--

702
00:32:30,659 --> 00:32:32,577
{\an8}<i>All of you,
have you been present recently?</i>

703
00:32:32,828 --> 00:32:34,955
{\an8}Because we were having
a very intense conversation

704
00:32:35,205 --> 00:32:36,206
{\an8}about the Holocaust,

705
00:32:36,456 --> 00:32:37,916
{\an8}and all you can think about

706
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:39,626
{\an8}<i>-is getting head?</i>
- Could-- could we just try--

707
00:32:39,876 --> 00:32:40,877
{\an8}<i>[Molly] That's so insensitive
and disgusting!</i>

708
00:32:41,128 --> 00:32:42,129
{\an8}Okay, Molly.

709
00:32:44,297 --> 00:32:46,842
{\an8}What, oh, oh, I'm being
the crazy one right now?

710
00:32:47,092 --> 00:32:48,343
No, I just--

711
00:32:48,343 --> 00:32:50,721
I'm gonna ask us all
to just return

712
00:32:50,971 --> 00:32:53,807
to a more respectful way
of talking to each other.

713
00:32:54,057 --> 00:32:56,059
{\an8}Well, it's not my fault
that Reed loves to just listen

714
00:32:56,309 --> 00:32:58,353
{\an8}to the sound of his own voice.

715
00:32:58,353 --> 00:33:01,106
What's wrong with listening
to the sound of my own voice?

716
00:33:01,106 --> 00:33:03,024
Your voice tells you a lot
about your being.

717
00:33:03,024 --> 00:33:05,193
The Upanishads actually came up
with a lot of their philosophies

718
00:33:05,193 --> 00:33:06,570
based on questions
about the origins of the voice.

719
00:33:06,820 --> 00:33:08,113
[Molly] Stop and listen
to Dr. Davis

720
00:33:08,363 --> 00:33:09,239
and stop being so disrespectful.

721
00:33:09,489 --> 00:33:10,699
[Anya] I'd like to end this now.

722
00:33:10,949 --> 00:33:12,451
[Molly] <i>Shut up! Oh, my God.</i>

723
00:33:12,451 --> 00:33:13,827
<i>I can't even
handle this anymore, bye!</i>

724
00:33:13,827 --> 00:33:15,454
- [Wilder] <i>Reed?</i>
- [Anya sighs]

725
00:33:15,454 --> 00:33:17,247
<i>Reed, can I, uh,
can I tell you something?</i>

726
00:33:17,706 --> 00:33:19,666
- [Reed] <i>I'd be honored.</i>
- Wilder.

727
00:33:19,666 --> 00:33:22,294
{\an8}You're an idiotic representation
of your generation.

728
00:33:22,294 --> 00:33:24,171
{\an8}A pig.

729
00:33:24,171 --> 00:33:26,256
{\an8}You're a pig grappling through
the vines of intelligentsia,

730
00:33:26,256 --> 00:33:27,924
{\an8}plotting against
our prolonged thought

731
00:33:28,175 --> 00:33:29,551
{\an8}trying to move things forward,

732
00:33:29,801 --> 00:33:32,220
{\an8}and then chewing our ideas
with your slime.

733
00:33:32,471 --> 00:33:34,556
{\an8}- You're just--
- Uh, okay.

734
00:33:34,806 --> 00:33:36,016
Let's take ten.

735
00:33:36,558 --> 00:33:38,602
[computer chiming]

736
00:33:38,602 --> 00:33:41,521
[laughs]

737
00:33:46,151 --> 00:33:47,235
[sighs]

738
00:33:49,404 --> 00:33:52,365
Dr. Davis, we are missing
significant information

739
00:33:52,365 --> 00:33:54,201
pertaining
to what actually happened

740
00:33:54,201 --> 00:33:56,328
during the rest of the class
and the lead-up to the jump.

741
00:33:57,078 --> 00:33:59,039
We've been in contact
with everyone involved.

742
00:33:59,289 --> 00:34:00,582
We have testimonies

743
00:34:00,582 --> 00:34:02,083
from your students
and your daughter.

744
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:04,503
You've been in contact
with my daughter?

745
00:34:06,671 --> 00:34:08,423
We're just asking questions.

746
00:34:08,965 --> 00:34:10,634
We've had to question
everyone involved.

747
00:34:10,884 --> 00:34:12,969
So that's why he's here?

748
00:34:15,472 --> 00:34:17,307
Professor Keating's the head
of the Standards Committee.

749
00:34:17,307 --> 00:34:18,433
[Anya] Uh-huh.

750
00:34:19,893 --> 00:34:21,186
Right.

751
00:34:21,812 --> 00:34:23,438
So then he told you
we were fucking?

752
00:34:25,690 --> 00:34:27,275
No, I hadn't.

753
00:34:27,526 --> 00:34:30,570
And that I had called him
during the break in the class?

754
00:34:31,071 --> 00:34:33,198
- So it's my fault now?
- Fault? No.

755
00:34:33,198 --> 00:34:35,200
I mean, I just-- I assumed
that's why you were here.

756
00:34:36,409 --> 00:34:37,494
[Dean Johnson] Is this true?

757
00:34:41,164 --> 00:34:43,792
[Cole] Yes,
she called me that day.

758
00:34:44,709 --> 00:34:46,253
That's not what I'm asking you.

759
00:34:46,253 --> 00:34:47,754
I'm asking you
if you were in a relationship

760
00:34:48,004 --> 00:34:49,172
with her.

761
00:34:50,048 --> 00:34:51,591
I don't see why that matters.

762
00:34:51,842 --> 00:34:53,134
[Dean Johnson]
Because you're the head

763
00:34:53,134 --> 00:34:54,511
of the Standards Committee,
Cole.

764
00:34:56,763 --> 00:34:58,890
[Joanna] What exactly
did she tell you, Mr. Keating,

765
00:34:58,890 --> 00:35:00,016
on that phone call?

766
00:35:02,435 --> 00:35:04,646
{\an8}- It's good to see you.
- Like, it's been that long?

767
00:35:04,646 --> 00:35:06,231
{\an8}It's been like five days.

768
00:35:07,065 --> 00:35:09,609
{\an8}Well, uh, yeah, but I mean,

769
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:11,736
{\an8}feels like longer.

770
00:35:11,987 --> 00:35:13,405
{\an8}A lot has happened.

771
00:35:13,405 --> 00:35:15,699
{\an8}Like before the world
set on fire. [chuckling]

772
00:35:19,327 --> 00:35:21,037
{\an8}- Can you come over tonight?
- Yeah.

773
00:35:21,288 --> 00:35:24,666
{\an8}Uh, I got to finish this outline
for this grant application.

774
00:35:24,666 --> 00:35:26,543
{\an8}My Diderot research.

775
00:35:29,754 --> 00:35:32,215
{\an8}Um, are you okay?

776
00:35:35,302 --> 00:35:36,386
{\an8}[sighs]

777
00:35:38,722 --> 00:35:41,600
{\an8}Yeah, it's just
my seminar just got so crazy.

778
00:35:41,850 --> 00:35:42,893
{\an8}Which one was that?

779
00:35:44,185 --> 00:35:47,564
{\an8}Just like my only one,
the one with Wilder Hewitt.

780
00:35:47,814 --> 00:35:48,940
{\an8}Oh, what's up with him?

781
00:35:49,524 --> 00:35:50,609
{\an8}I thought you liked him.

782
00:35:52,235 --> 00:35:53,820
{\an8}I do like him, it's just...

783
00:35:55,113 --> 00:35:56,698
{\an8}he's just very volatile today.

784
00:36:00,035 --> 00:36:03,705
{\an8}So, uh, students, like,

785
00:36:03,705 --> 00:36:05,332
{\an8}so a lot of his kind, you know,

786
00:36:05,332 --> 00:36:07,000
{\an8}any of his type...

787
00:36:08,209 --> 00:36:10,003
{\an8}they can totally have

788
00:36:10,003 --> 00:36:11,171
{\an8}their heads stuck
up their own asses.

789
00:36:11,421 --> 00:36:12,964
{\an8}You know what I mean?

790
00:36:12,964 --> 00:36:14,215
{\an8}They think they know
everything about everything,

791
00:36:14,215 --> 00:36:17,260
{\an8}and you can't teach them.

792
00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:20,764
{\an8}But you can influence them.

793
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:24,726
And, you know, it's--

794
00:36:24,976 --> 00:36:27,729
Often it's the most difficult
ones that teach us the most.

795
00:36:28,772 --> 00:36:32,734
She said the class was hard
and that she felt overwhelmed.

796
00:36:40,784 --> 00:36:42,202
Why didn't you tell us this?

797
00:36:44,162 --> 00:36:46,331
[Cole] I-- It didn't seem
like it was important.

798
00:36:48,917 --> 00:36:50,835
You didn't think
it was important?

799
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:54,297
It was a conversation
with an academic colleague.

800
00:36:54,297 --> 00:36:56,841
[Dean Johnson] Mm-hmm.

801
00:36:56,841 --> 00:36:59,219
Okay, Cole,
I think you should go.

802
00:37:10,146 --> 00:37:13,441
Is there anything else
that you'd like to tell us?

803
00:37:19,447 --> 00:37:22,575
It seemed like
she was drawn to him.

804
00:37:22,575 --> 00:37:24,661
[Dean Johnson]
Drawn to him in what way?

805
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:33,461
In the way that a teacher
is drawn to a bright student.

806
00:37:50,478 --> 00:37:52,022
[Joanna] What did you talk about
with Wilder?

807
00:37:55,859 --> 00:37:56,943
Many things.

808
00:37:56,943 --> 00:38:00,280
We-- we spoke often.

809
00:38:01,281 --> 00:38:05,285
It seemed very much
part of his process.

810
00:38:05,285 --> 00:38:08,204
It's-- it's normal,
it's standard

811
00:38:08,455 --> 00:38:10,040
that I speak with my students.

812
00:38:11,166 --> 00:38:13,626
What-- what is it
that you think I know?

813
00:38:14,377 --> 00:38:15,378
Let's not jump
to any conclusions.

814
00:38:15,628 --> 00:38:17,005
I'm not jumping to conclusions.

815
00:38:17,005 --> 00:38:19,090
I'm just--
I'm simply asking questions.

816
00:38:19,799 --> 00:38:22,552
I teach philosophy.
It's the nature of what I do.

817
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:29,142
December 2nd, 2009.
Does that date ring a bell?

818
00:38:31,436 --> 00:38:32,604
No.

819
00:38:32,854 --> 00:38:34,147
[Joanna]
There was a custody hearing.

820
00:38:34,397 --> 00:38:36,274
Your daughter
was five years old, correct?

821
00:38:38,109 --> 00:38:39,652
[sighs] Yes.

822
00:38:39,903 --> 00:38:42,739
During the hearing,
your ex-husband, Phil Archer,

823
00:38:42,989 --> 00:38:44,532
claimed that you were unable
to leave the house

824
00:38:44,532 --> 00:38:46,201
for six weeks.

825
00:38:46,201 --> 00:38:48,578
Yes, I was severely depressed
during my divorce.

826
00:38:48,578 --> 00:38:50,789
That you were living
in a state of alarming disarray,

827
00:38:51,039 --> 00:38:52,707
and according
to your daughter's testimony

828
00:38:52,957 --> 00:38:54,042
during the proceedings,

829
00:38:54,292 --> 00:38:56,002
"I saw Mommy eating.

830
00:38:56,586 --> 00:38:58,379
Eating roots and plants
from the garden.

831
00:38:58,963 --> 00:39:00,632
She said she wanted
to go back to the earth,

832
00:39:00,632 --> 00:39:02,592
to the way
things were supposed to be."

833
00:39:05,136 --> 00:39:07,514
What does this have to do
with anything?

834
00:39:13,561 --> 00:39:15,605
Uh, well, um...

835
00:39:18,191 --> 00:39:19,692
what strikes me
about that statement

836
00:39:19,692 --> 00:39:20,735
from your daughter, Anya,

837
00:39:20,985 --> 00:39:22,612
is that it sounds very similar

838
00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:24,781
to some of the things
that Wilder was talking about

839
00:39:24,781 --> 00:39:27,200
just before he jumped.

840
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,202
Relevant
to the Nietzschean theories

841
00:39:29,202 --> 00:39:31,079
you were discussing
in that class?

842
00:39:31,329 --> 00:39:35,083
Yeah, I just-- I'm-- I'm sorry,
I don't-- I don't understand.

843
00:39:37,001 --> 00:39:38,711
[Joanna] Your daughter brings up
a level of instability...

844
00:39:38,962 --> 00:39:40,964
- Oh my God, instability.
- ...which was also mentioned.

845
00:39:44,342 --> 00:39:46,636
In December of 2014,

846
00:39:46,886 --> 00:39:48,555
you resigned
from your last position

847
00:39:48,555 --> 00:39:49,931
at Jones College.

848
00:39:49,931 --> 00:39:52,100
Can you tell us about that?

849
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:54,435
What is going on here?

850
00:39:55,603 --> 00:39:57,981
A student flung himself
from his window

851
00:39:57,981 --> 00:40:00,316
- during your class, Anya.
- I know!

852
00:40:00,942 --> 00:40:02,402
So I'm sure you can understand

853
00:40:02,402 --> 00:40:03,611
- the urgency of the matter.
- I'm sorry.

854
00:40:09,242 --> 00:40:10,326
I'm sorry.

855
00:40:11,911 --> 00:40:12,996
I need a minute.

856
00:40:16,291 --> 00:40:19,335
- [low somber music plays]
- [bell tolling in the distance]

857
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,196
- [Cole] Hey.
- Hi.

858
00:40:46,196 --> 00:40:47,488
[Cole] I've been looking
for you everywhere.

859
00:40:47,488 --> 00:40:48,781
Sorry.

860
00:40:49,032 --> 00:40:50,366
I'm just, uh,
really glad you came.

861
00:40:50,366 --> 00:40:52,285
I didn't think you would.

862
00:40:52,285 --> 00:40:53,578
Hi, Wilder.

863
00:40:55,788 --> 00:40:56,873
Hi, Professor Keating.

864
00:40:59,709 --> 00:41:02,921
I'm glad you two met, uh,

865
00:41:02,921 --> 00:41:04,547
as you know, Anya,
we don't really have

866
00:41:04,797 --> 00:41:06,716
traditional majors here,

867
00:41:06,966 --> 00:41:10,929
but I'd say Wilder's focus
is our department.

868
00:41:13,056 --> 00:41:14,140
Uh, where do you live?

869
00:41:15,808 --> 00:41:18,603
Oh, uh, the housing

870
00:41:18,603 --> 00:41:20,146
over on Ponce.

871
00:41:21,856 --> 00:41:23,274
Why?

872
00:41:24,943 --> 00:41:26,319
Wanted to walk you home.

873
00:41:28,529 --> 00:41:29,614
Great.

874
00:41:30,740 --> 00:41:32,617
I'll see you tomorrow.

875
00:41:32,617 --> 00:41:33,743
I'm in your seminar.

876
00:41:35,370 --> 00:41:37,413
Great. See you tomorrow.

877
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:42,377
[Cole] Interesting kid.

878
00:41:42,377 --> 00:41:43,503
[Anya] Yeah.

879
00:41:48,299 --> 00:41:49,676
What'd you guys talk about?

880
00:41:50,677 --> 00:41:51,761
[Anya] Oh.

881
00:41:53,388 --> 00:41:54,472
The bonfire.

Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad.

885
00:42:08,027 --> 00:42:09,946
- Seriously?
- Oh, Vlad!

886
00:42:09,946 --> 00:42:11,823
[Vlad] Hey, hey! Parker!

887
00:42:11,823 --> 00:42:14,867
- What's up, man?
- [computer chiming]

888
00:42:14,867 --> 00:42:16,452
Oh, bye, Vlad.

889
00:42:16,452 --> 00:42:17,787
Molly, how are you doing?

890
00:42:18,037 --> 00:42:19,914
I know that was
a little tense before.

891
00:42:20,164 --> 00:42:21,666
{\an8}So sorry I got so upset,
you guys.

we're going to Bubby's, okay?

00:42:48,943 --> 00:42:51,529
{\an8}As soon as this is done,
the day this is fucking over.

904
00:42:52,196 --> 00:42:54,699
Oh. Has anyone heard

00:42:54,949 --> 00:42:57,577
about Dr. Davis and Dr. Keaton?

[Molly] No, why?

907
00:43:00,747 --> 00:43:03,499
I saw them getting drinks
at Bubby's the other day.

908
00:43:03,499 --> 00:43:06,002
[Molly] Yeah, okay, but maybe
they like their happy hour.

909
00:43:06,252 --> 00:43:07,628
I mean, I sure do.

910
00:43:07,628 --> 00:43:09,172
{\an8}[Reed] Yeah, me too.

00:43:09,422 --> 00:43:11,841

It could be routine.

{\an8}Maybe, yeah, maybe, I--
I saw them not once, though,

913
00:43:15,136 --> 00:43:18,348
{\an8}not twice, three times,
and last week.

914
00:43:18,598 --> 00:43:20,350
{\an8}Gossip!

915
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,934
{\an8}You think they're fucking, bro?

916
00:43:21,934 --> 00:43:23,436
{\an8}I don't think
they're grading papers.

917
00:43:23,686 --> 00:43:26,022
{\an8}- Hello.
- [Reed] Hey, Wilder.

918
00:43:26,022 --> 00:43:27,482
{\an8}Hi.

919
00:43:27,732 --> 00:43:28,983
That was really
emotional before,

920
00:43:29,233 --> 00:43:32,820
and I just want
to discuss our feelings.

921
00:43:33,071 --> 00:43:34,739
You know,
you kind of attacked me there

922
00:43:34,989 --> 00:43:36,574
with that poetic gibberish

923
00:43:36,574 --> 00:43:38,826
that sounded like it was
from <i>Planet of the Apes.</i>

924
00:43:39,077 --> 00:43:41,579
Okay, they speak English
in <i>Planet of the Apes.</i>

925
00:43:41,829 --> 00:43:44,332
- No, they don't.
- Yeah, they do.

926
00:43:46,459 --> 00:43:47,752
[sighs]

927
00:43:53,674 --> 00:43:55,760
{\an8}- [clears throat]
- [computer chimes]

928
00:43:56,010 --> 00:43:58,012
{\an8}Okay, guys, so we're back.

929
00:43:58,262 --> 00:44:00,390
{\an8}Uh, I wanted to start
this next half

930
00:44:00,390 --> 00:44:04,185
{\an8}by just grounding us
in some text.

931
00:44:04,185 --> 00:44:05,186
{\an8}Really?

932
00:44:05,436 --> 00:44:07,021
{\an8}All right, guys, look, I, uh--

933
00:44:08,898 --> 00:44:10,316
{\an8}I know you don't want
to acknowledge

934
00:44:10,316 --> 00:44:11,943
{\an8}that there's any kind of
hierarchy here,

935
00:44:11,943 --> 00:44:13,236
{\an8}but I am your professor.

936
00:44:13,486 --> 00:44:15,446
{\an8}I am trying to lead you
in a discussion.

937
00:44:16,447 --> 00:44:18,408
{\an8}[Reed] I don't believe
in hierarchy.

938
00:44:18,825 --> 00:44:21,494
{\an8}Oh, wow, Reed, that might be
the first thing

939
00:44:21,494 --> 00:44:22,912
{\an8}you and I actually agree on.

940
00:44:23,162 --> 00:44:26,916
Uh, your question
of my authority

941
00:44:27,166 --> 00:44:29,544
or hierarchy
in this context is what?

942
00:44:29,794 --> 00:44:31,337
Is directed at academia?

943
00:44:32,088 --> 00:44:34,382
Yes, I mean, the institution.

944
00:44:34,382 --> 00:44:38,302
And you bringing it up,
you yourself are questioning it.

945
00:44:38,302 --> 00:44:41,639
You know, Reed, yes,
he's being an asshole dickhead,

946
00:44:41,889 --> 00:44:44,308
but he still has
the authority to question you

947
00:44:44,308 --> 00:44:46,352
just like you have
the authority to question him.

948
00:44:46,352 --> 00:44:49,397
I mean, Plato, Socrates,
that was like the first

949
00:44:49,647 --> 00:44:51,232
student-teacher
relationship, right?

950
00:44:51,232 --> 00:44:53,276
But look at where
hierarchy has gotten us.

951
00:44:53,276 --> 00:44:56,988
We live in a completely
patriarchal, racist society.

952
00:44:56,988 --> 00:44:58,698
This isn't a philosophy,
it's gender studies.

953
00:44:58,948 --> 00:45:00,992
Oh, well, thank you
for bringing up my minor.

954
00:45:01,242 --> 00:45:04,537
Also, I hate it when
any time a woman loves to talk

955
00:45:04,787 --> 00:45:06,622
about patriarchy or equality,

956
00:45:06,622 --> 00:45:08,166
a man has to
question it and be like,

957
00:45:08,416 --> 00:45:10,168
"Oh, do you know
gender studies?"

958
00:45:10,168 --> 00:45:11,794
It's, like, so frustrating.

959
00:45:11,794 --> 00:45:13,588
All this
male versus female bullshit.

960
00:45:13,838 --> 00:45:15,506
I mean, God,
we've been dealing with it

961
00:45:15,506 --> 00:45:17,550
since the beginning
of fucking time.

962
00:45:17,550 --> 00:45:19,510
We are still dealing with it.

963
00:45:19,510 --> 00:45:22,472
Ah, I mean, for example, okay,
at the beginning of this class,

964
00:45:22,722 --> 00:45:24,432
Parker brought up
the fact that you are

965
00:45:24,432 --> 00:45:26,642
in a sexual relationship
with Dr. Keaton.

966
00:45:26,642 --> 00:45:27,852
{\an8}[Parker] Whoa, whoa,
whoa, Molly!

967
00:45:28,102 --> 00:45:29,979
What? You did.

968
00:45:30,229 --> 00:45:33,316
And just by the way,
if you were a man,

969
00:45:33,316 --> 00:45:35,902
do you think anybody would be
saying something like that?

970
00:45:36,736 --> 00:45:37,820
{\an8}[sighs]

971
00:45:40,323 --> 00:45:41,782
{\an8}Right, um...

972
00:45:44,994 --> 00:45:46,162
{\an8}I, uh--

973
00:45:47,330 --> 00:45:50,750
{\an8}I'm gonna disregard
that last statement

974
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,671
{\an8}that you made, Molly, about my
personal life, and I am--

975
00:45:55,671 --> 00:45:57,882
{\an8}I'm just gonna read
the text now.

976
00:45:59,258 --> 00:46:02,303
Uh, this is
from <i>Beyond Good and Evil.</i>

977
00:46:04,222 --> 00:46:06,933
"What inspires
respect for women,

978
00:46:06,933 --> 00:46:09,060
and often enough even fear,

979
00:46:09,060 --> 00:46:11,854
is her nature, which is
more natural than man's.

980
00:46:11,854 --> 00:46:15,358
The genuine, cunning, suppleness

981
00:46:15,358 --> 00:46:16,817
of a beast of prey.

982
00:46:17,568 --> 00:46:20,446
The tiger's claw
under the glove.

983
00:46:21,489 --> 00:46:23,533
Her inner wildness."

984
00:46:26,619 --> 00:46:29,664
Men oppress women,
because they know

985
00:46:29,914 --> 00:46:31,666
they're a force
to be reckoned with.

986
00:46:31,916 --> 00:46:35,545
{\an8}Well, Nietzsche also claims
that the emancipation of women

987
00:46:35,545 --> 00:46:38,673
{\an8}from feminism is merely just a--

988
00:46:38,923 --> 00:46:40,883
{\an8}I mean, kind of a resentment

989
00:46:40,883 --> 00:46:42,718
{\an8}of some women
against other women

990
00:46:42,969 --> 00:46:45,638
{\an8}because they're better
physically constituted

991
00:46:45,638 --> 00:46:47,557
{\an8}and more able to bear children.

992
00:46:47,557 --> 00:46:51,269
It sounds like a little bit
of a compliment from Nietzsche,

993
00:46:51,269 --> 00:46:54,313
layered with this
bit of misogyny, no?

994
00:46:54,564 --> 00:46:57,441
No, exactly,
Kasper, because literally,

995
00:46:57,441 --> 00:47:00,736
any time a woman is
competing against another woman,

996
00:47:00,736 --> 00:47:02,446
it's inherently misogynist,

997
00:47:02,446 --> 00:47:04,407
because it's
for the benefit of a man.

998
00:47:05,616 --> 00:47:07,618
That's, like, the first thing
I've heard in this class

999
00:47:07,618 --> 00:47:08,869
that makes sense.

1000
00:47:09,662 --> 00:47:12,290
Look, <i>Lucinda and the Argonauts</i>
is a great example

1001
00:47:12,290 --> 00:47:14,041
of a text
that actively engages with--

1002
00:47:14,041 --> 00:47:17,086
- Are you serious?
- No, no, no!

1003
00:47:17,086 --> 00:47:19,755
We are still questioning
if men are the greater sex,

1004
00:47:20,006 --> 00:47:21,465
and that's insane!

1005
00:47:21,465 --> 00:47:23,551
Right, but that's
because they are, I mean--

1006
00:47:24,969 --> 00:47:27,471
{\an8}In Nietzsche's theory, right,

1007
00:47:27,722 --> 00:47:31,684
{\an8}a woman's whole purpose--
Her whole purpose, her goal,

1008
00:47:31,684 --> 00:47:34,645
{\an8}is to give birth
to an Ubermensch.

1009
00:47:34,645 --> 00:47:36,272
{\an8}Which is just a theory.

1010
00:47:36,272 --> 00:47:38,441
{\an8}Right, but her
ability to do that

1011
00:47:38,691 --> 00:47:40,985
{\an8}dictates her relationship
to man.

1012
00:47:41,527 --> 00:47:42,945
{\an8}Nietzsche talks
about the Ubermensch

1013
00:47:43,195 --> 00:47:46,240
{\an8}that literally translates
to "superman."

1014
00:47:48,492 --> 00:47:49,869
Okay, so, Wilder,

1015
00:47:50,119 --> 00:47:54,165
you're actually
interpreting it literally.

1016
00:47:54,707 --> 00:47:56,542
You know, Wilder,

1017
00:47:56,542 --> 00:47:59,962
I think that
that interpretation is valid.

1018
00:48:00,463 --> 00:48:03,215
{\an8}Okay, thank you, yes,
more than valid, but--

1019
00:48:03,215 --> 00:48:06,260
- So you're agreeing with him?
- No, I'm not, I'm just--

1020
00:48:06,510 --> 00:48:08,054
I'm saying
that it's interesting,

1021
00:48:08,054 --> 00:48:09,930
and that I'm acknowledging it.

1022
00:48:10,890 --> 00:48:13,434
Look, it's impossible
to talk about Nietzsche

1023
00:48:13,434 --> 00:48:16,771
and-- and sort of
skip over misogyny.

1024
00:48:17,021 --> 00:48:18,731
It's-- it's in his writings.

1025
00:48:18,981 --> 00:48:23,069
{\an8}But wouldn't it be interesting
to think of misogyny

1026
00:48:23,069 --> 00:48:26,614
{\an8}as a part of, perhaps,
an overall strategy...

1027
00:48:27,907 --> 00:48:30,743
{\an8}of Nietzsche's to demonstrate
that our attitude

1028
00:48:30,993 --> 00:48:34,872
{\an8}towards gender and sex
is completely cultural?

1029
00:48:34,872 --> 00:48:36,916
{\an8}And it's often incredibly
destructive

1030
00:48:37,166 --> 00:48:39,502
{\an8}to our-- our potential
as individuals

1031
00:48:39,502 --> 00:48:43,214
{\an8}and as a species, and...

1032
00:48:43,214 --> 00:48:47,093
{\an8}perhaps it's something
to be overcome.

1033
00:48:47,093 --> 00:48:51,222
{\an8}It's an interesting, I mean,
glorified, positive reading.

1034
00:48:51,222 --> 00:48:52,515
{\an8}But it's all besides the point,

1035
00:48:52,765 --> 00:48:53,808
{\an8}because when it
comes down to it,

1036
00:48:54,058 --> 00:48:55,476
{\an8}men did come first.

1037
00:48:56,143 --> 00:48:57,687
{\an8}And were created first.

1038
00:48:58,187 --> 00:48:59,605
According to the Bible?

1039
00:48:59,855 --> 00:49:01,148
- Yeah, which is--
- So we're interpreting

1040
00:49:01,399 --> 00:49:02,900
the Bible literally?

1041
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:06,112
Yeah, it's a source
of mythological creation.

1042
00:49:06,112 --> 00:49:08,322
{\an8}Okay, but we've seen
in this class, right,

1043
00:49:08,572 --> 00:49:10,449
{\an8}mythology, philosophy,
and it's also--

1044
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:12,410
{\an8}There's plenty
of scientific evidence

1045
00:49:12,410 --> 00:49:13,953
{\an8}that backs this up.

1046
00:49:14,203 --> 00:49:16,080
Okay, Nietzsche had very
controversial views on this.

1047
00:49:16,330 --> 00:49:17,331
Next text.

1048
00:49:19,583 --> 00:49:20,918
"From the beginning,

1049
00:49:20,918 --> 00:49:23,921
nothing has been
more alien, repugnant,

1050
00:49:24,171 --> 00:49:28,551
or hostile to woman than truth.

1051
00:49:28,551 --> 00:49:30,302
Her great art is the lie

1052
00:49:30,302 --> 00:49:33,973
and highest concern
is mere appearance and beauty."

1053
00:49:35,266 --> 00:49:37,893
Oh, Selena,
the prime example of that.

1054
00:49:37,893 --> 00:49:40,020
{\an8}- Wilder.
- Excuse me, I'm sorry?

1055
00:49:41,230 --> 00:49:43,607
{\an8}Well, no, it's just,
you obviously

1056
00:49:43,607 --> 00:49:45,735
{\an8}put a lot of effort
into your appearance

1057
00:49:45,985 --> 00:49:48,446
{\an8}just to come onto this
online class.

1058
00:49:48,446 --> 00:49:49,655
{\an8}You know what I mean?

1059
00:49:49,655 --> 00:49:52,199
{\an8}- Easy, Wilder.
- Oh, my God.

1060
00:49:52,450 --> 00:49:55,286
{\an8}That is just offensive.

1061
00:49:55,286 --> 00:49:57,580
{\an8}It's not offensive,
it's just an observation.

1062
00:49:57,580 --> 00:49:59,081
{\an8}No, no, no, no, no, no.

1063
00:49:59,081 --> 00:50:01,167
{\an8}This whole fucking seminar
is offensive.

1064
00:50:01,417 --> 00:50:03,627
{\an8}Yeah, this whole seminar
is offensive.

1065
00:50:03,878 --> 00:50:05,588
{\an8}It's fucking biased,

1066
00:50:05,588 --> 00:50:09,341
{\an8}and set in a bunch
of made-up beliefs!

1067
00:50:09,341 --> 00:50:11,469
{\an8}- None of you--
- [Reed] Selena!

1068
00:50:11,469 --> 00:50:13,053
{\an8}- None of you...
- Selena!

1069
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:15,097
{\an8}...can even comprehend
or understand the fact

1070
00:50:15,347 --> 00:50:17,892
{\an8}that I might actually
have a brain.

1071
00:50:18,142 --> 00:50:21,020
{\an8}- Yeah, and that I--
- Stop, stop, stop!

1072
00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:22,563
{\an8}I-- I--

1073
00:50:22,563 --> 00:50:25,566
{\an8}There's something wrong
with your eyes.

1074
00:50:25,566 --> 00:50:27,318
{\an8}What? What is it?

1075
00:50:28,486 --> 00:50:30,404
{\an8}[gasps] Oh, my God.

1076
00:50:31,113 --> 00:50:33,657
Oh, my God, you guys,

1077
00:50:33,657 --> 00:50:35,576
help me, tell me what to do.

1078
00:50:35,576 --> 00:50:37,953
Help me! Tell me what to do.

1079
00:50:37,953 --> 00:50:39,622
Wash out your eyes
with water and--

1080
00:50:40,372 --> 00:50:42,166
I have to go.
I have to go, just--

1081
00:50:43,334 --> 00:50:44,627
Where did she go?

1082
00:50:44,877 --> 00:50:46,420
Maybe someone
should go check on her?

1083
00:50:46,420 --> 00:50:48,088
[Parker] Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I'm on it, all right.

1084
00:50:48,088 --> 00:50:49,757
Reed, the eye thing,

1085
00:50:49,757 --> 00:50:51,634
is it really
a sign of the Sweat?

1086
00:50:51,634 --> 00:50:53,552
- I thought you were joking.
- I thought I was joking, too.

1087
00:50:53,552 --> 00:50:55,012
Well, if you were joking,
then how do you explain

1088
00:50:55,262 --> 00:50:56,639
her eyes actually being white?

1089
00:50:56,639 --> 00:50:59,141
I don't fucking know. Pink eye?

1090
00:50:59,141 --> 00:51:01,101
- Seriously?
- Look, has anyone been

1091
00:51:01,101 --> 00:51:04,271
in contact with her
in the last few days?

1092
00:51:04,271 --> 00:51:06,482
I left--
I left cookies at her door.

1093
00:51:06,482 --> 00:51:08,234
But long story.

1094
00:51:08,234 --> 00:51:10,986
- [Wilder laughs]
- [Reed] What's so funny, weirdo?

1095
00:51:11,237 --> 00:51:14,156
Look, guys, I-- I, um--

1096
00:51:14,156 --> 00:51:16,200
I'm not so sure
that we should continue.

1097
00:51:16,450 --> 00:51:17,827
Yeah, it--
it doesn't feel right.

1098
00:51:18,077 --> 00:51:19,870
I think I'm--
I'm gonna go, and check on her.

1099
00:51:19,870 --> 00:51:23,499
{\an8}No, Mara. Mara, Mara,
just stay, stay.

1100
00:51:23,499 --> 00:51:25,209
{\an8}We should absolutely continue.
What else can we do?

1101
00:51:25,459 --> 00:51:27,837
{\an8}No, I-- I actually think
that-- that we should

1102
00:51:28,087 --> 00:51:29,338
{\an8}probably just end this.

1103
00:51:29,588 --> 00:51:33,634
{\an8}No, Anya, we should absolutely
continue.

1104
00:51:33,634 --> 00:51:35,594
{\an8}Nothing can be done for Selena.

1105
00:51:35,594 --> 00:51:37,638
{\an8}- How do you know?
- Because I do.

1106
00:51:37,888 --> 00:51:40,641
{\an8}Look, we have an obligation
to continue this class.

1107
00:51:40,641 --> 00:51:43,018
What obligation, I can
leave whenever I want, okay?

1108
00:51:43,018 --> 00:51:44,937
It's a free zone.

1109
00:51:44,937 --> 00:51:46,480
{\an8}Okay, then go ahead.

1110
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,025
{\an8}"I love all who are,
like heavy drops,

1111
00:51:50,025 --> 00:51:52,653
{\an8}falling one by one
from the dark clouds

1112
00:51:52,653 --> 00:51:54,196
{\an8}that lowers over man.

1113
00:51:54,446 --> 00:51:57,032
{\an8}They herald the coming
of the lightning,

1114
00:51:57,032 --> 00:51:58,701
{\an8}and succumb to the heralds."

1115
00:51:58,951 --> 00:52:00,035
I feel sick.

1116
00:52:00,578 --> 00:52:02,496
I'm going to call-- call Selena.

1117
00:52:04,582 --> 00:52:05,666
Hey, um--

1118
00:52:09,211 --> 00:52:10,296
I, uh--

1119
00:52:14,842 --> 00:52:16,051
So, what are we doing?

1120
00:52:17,553 --> 00:52:19,013
Uh, we're gonna continue.

1121
00:52:19,597 --> 00:52:21,098
{\an8}- Really?
- Next quote.

1122
00:52:26,186 --> 00:52:27,646
{\an8}"Lead back to the earth

1123
00:52:27,897 --> 00:52:30,274
{\an8}the virtue that flew away,
as I do.

1124
00:52:32,401 --> 00:52:35,237
{\an8}Back to life, back to the body,

1125
00:52:35,487 --> 00:52:37,114
{\an8}that it may give
the earth meaning.

1126
00:52:38,949 --> 00:52:40,367
{\an8}A human meaning."

1127
00:52:45,122 --> 00:52:46,206
Okay.

1128
00:52:48,042 --> 00:52:49,668
Does anyone have
anything to say?

1129
00:52:55,090 --> 00:52:56,467
{\an8}Anyone?

1130
00:52:59,219 --> 00:53:00,304
Mara?

1131
00:53:05,017 --> 00:53:09,063
{\an8}I think that on this notion
of virtue

1132
00:53:09,063 --> 00:53:12,399
{\an8}and the power of virtue,
I think that he's saying

1133
00:53:12,399 --> 00:53:14,151
{\an8}that we need to ground
ourselves.

1134
00:53:14,151 --> 00:53:16,570
{\an8}Right, but we can't
ground ourselves

1135
00:53:16,570 --> 00:53:18,364
{\an8}in something that's unfit.

1136
00:53:18,364 --> 00:53:20,616
{\an8}Right, but what I'm saying
is that I think we need to--

1137
00:53:20,866 --> 00:53:22,701
{\an8}We need to find-- No, we need
to find something--

1138
00:53:22,952 --> 00:53:25,913
{\an8}Hey, Wilder, I think
Mara was speaking.

1139
00:53:25,913 --> 00:53:28,499
{\an8}- I was.
- Oh, well, I speak through her.

1140
00:53:28,499 --> 00:53:29,708
{\an8}She speaks through me.

1141
00:53:30,376 --> 00:53:32,294
{\an8}- No, but that isn't--
- Shh. Mara.

1142
00:53:32,795 --> 00:53:34,421
{\an8}Mara. Mara.

1143
00:53:35,047 --> 00:53:38,425
{\an8}I just need you to give me
a second so I can figure

1144
00:53:38,425 --> 00:53:40,803
{\an8}these ideas out for myself.

1145
00:53:41,053 --> 00:53:42,221
{\an8}What's the point
when your analysis

1146
00:53:42,221 --> 00:53:43,347
{\an8}is gonna be so generic?

1147
00:53:43,681 --> 00:53:44,932
{\an8}You're not moving
anything forward.

1148
00:53:44,932 --> 00:53:47,393
{\an8}You're afraid, Mara.

1149
00:53:47,393 --> 00:53:50,145
{\an8}- You're afraid.
- Stop telling me what I feel.

1150
00:53:50,145 --> 00:53:52,189
{\an8}I can tell you whatever
I want to tell you.

1151
00:53:52,815 --> 00:53:55,067
{\an8}That is not okay for you to say.

1152
00:53:55,317 --> 00:53:56,527
{\an8}Yeah, you're right, it's not.

1153
00:53:59,655 --> 00:54:03,617
{\an8}The Earth has become small,
and on it hops the last man

1154
00:54:03,867 --> 00:54:05,536
{\an8}who makes everything small.

1155
00:54:05,536 --> 00:54:09,456
{\an8}Therefore, one must sacrifice
themselves to the Earth

1156
00:54:09,707 --> 00:54:11,291
{\an8}so that the Earth
of the superman

1157
00:54:11,291 --> 00:54:13,794
{\an8}may hereafter arrive.

1158
00:54:13,794 --> 00:54:15,629
{\an8}That's incomprehensible.

1159
00:54:15,879 --> 00:54:18,340
{\an8}It's not incomprehensible.
It's so clear.

1160
00:54:18,340 --> 00:54:20,259
{\an8}It's just difficult and--

1161
00:54:20,259 --> 00:54:22,970
{\an8}and it's difficult to inhabit
and understand,

1162
00:54:23,220 --> 00:54:24,680

this is of interest of you,

because you-- you need
to assign blame for what

1333
01:02:01,052 --> 01:02:02,554
transpired
in my class, of course.

1334
01:02:02,554 --> 01:02:04,139

It's-- This is
an issue of liability, right?

it is my responsibility

the door to-- to becoming,

Anya, as you know,

1355
01:03:22,842 --> 01:03:26,263
we have security cameras
all over campus.

1356
01:03:26,263 --> 01:03:27,430
Yes.

1357
01:03:28,223 --> 01:03:30,559
And we've been checking them
to see what might have happened

1358
01:03:30,809 --> 01:03:31,893

is strictly confidential.

1362
01:03:41,736 --> 01:03:44,531
[Joanna] 18th September,
we have security footage

1363
01:03:44,531 --> 01:03:46,908
of Wilder Hewitt
entering Decker Hall.

1364
01:03:47,158 --> 01:03:49,703
That date is about a week
before the campus shut down

1365
01:03:49,953 --> 01:03:52,372
due to a highly
infectious virus.

1366
01:03:52,372 --> 01:03:55,917
So Wilder,
he wasn't studying science.

1367
01:03:57,627 --> 01:03:59,129
Decker Hall is all labs.

1368
01:04:01,339 --> 01:04:02,757
How did he get access?

1369
01:04:03,883 --> 01:04:07,053
Only faculty have access
after 7:00 p.m., correct?

1370
01:04:07,304 --> 01:04:08,555
That's right.

1371
01:04:08,555 --> 01:04:09,973
Sorry, where is this going?

1372
01:04:11,558 --> 01:04:14,644
There's significant evidence
that this Sweat, this virus

1373
01:04:14,894 --> 01:04:17,439
that spread
all over campus was caused

1374
01:04:17,689 --> 01:04:19,107
by a leak in one of those labs.

1375
01:04:20,191 --> 01:04:22,694
So, that night,
the night of September 18th,

1376
01:04:22,944 --> 01:04:25,405
was the last time Wilder Hewitt
visited Decker Hall.

1377
01:04:26,281 --> 01:04:28,366
According to our footage,
he visited two times

1378
01:04:28,617 --> 01:04:30,410
prior to that night on his own.

And you think
that I knew about these visits?

1381
01:04:44,674 --> 01:04:47,552
I don't know what you knew,
but we have clear evidence

1382
01:04:47,552 --> 01:04:49,054
that your card was used

1383
01:04:49,054 --> 01:04:50,847

But I was hoping that maybe
you could help me understand it.

Because I don't think
I can do it alone.
