What should my next video be about?

It's poll time again! Multiple choice is enabled.

1) There’s an Italian movie about Friedrich Nietzsche called Beyond Good and Evil (1977) that I’d like to talk about simply because of how bizarre it is. This would be a more fun video, and less theory-heavy, talking about Nietzsche's biographical aspects. The movie portrays Nietzsche as being a lot more sexually active than he probably was in real life, and also as a closeted gay man, which I could use as an opportunity to talk about Nietzsche’s sexual life, and the debate around whether he was gay or not, as well as his relationship with his sister and his drug use, which the movie depicts

2) French philosopher Henri Bergson nowadays is to a large extent forgotten, except as an influence on Deleuze. In his time, however, he was highly influential and well-known, on par with Albert Einstein in his popularity. There’s a lot that could be said about his vitalist ontology, his philosophy of time, his view of memory, etc. but in this video I would focus on one of his more amusing works - Laughter - in which Bergson pursues a fundamental understanding of what makes things funny, seeing the comic as stemming from the distinction between the organic and the mechanical, the living and the inanimate, spirit and matter. It’s not often that you see philosophers analyze the basis of the comic, and Bergson’s systematic attempt is quite interesting, even if perhaps outdated today. I would try to find some good examples to illustrate his points as well.

3) In my video on post-punk I only mentioned industrial music briefly, and this would be a kind of sequel in which I discuss it more in-depth, talking about the effect the industrial landscape had on industrial artists. I would probably cover not just British industrial, but also the German and American scenes. I would especially focus on the influence of the modernist art movement known as futurism, and the way it prefigured industrial music already in the early 1900s, with Luigi Russolo’s Art of Noises. I would also discuss the political divide within industrial music, which included both left-wing and fascist elements, just as futurism had both a socialist strain and a fascist strain.

4) In the 20th century, the petite bourgeoisie (i.e. small capitalists, such as small business owners, sometimes translated simply as the middle class) provided the mass base for fascism, both in Italy and Germany. Even today, reactionary political movements often have a petite-bourgeois basis and character. I would talk about the way Marxists have understood the petite bourgeoisie, why it has had such a tendency towards fascism, and how fascist ideology appeals to it. Perhaps such a discussion would be nothing new to Marxists, but it is an important part of understanding fascism. This is the newest idea on the list so it would take a while to develop the script.

As I've mentioned before, I won't have access to my recording setup until August, but I can at least start researching and writing the script in advance. Looking forward to seeing your picks!
