Reason and Instinct
must be in balance, Verner!
When you gain instinct,
I'll be back! (Doctor Reinis)
Yuck.
Today, we will begin
searching inside ourselves
for both Reason and Instinct.
We can't start such a journey
with ideas that numb our minds.
We have to doubt everything.
will we find the right road.
Only then we will find
what we are searching for
and quench our thirst.
What actually is
the meaning of existence?
You will learn that here and now.
Here we go.
Hi. My name is Martin Verner
and this is my course video.
Bullshit.
- You have to tighten the stand.
- I know, but it doesn't work.
Try that little wheel.
No, on the left side.
Don't you see it?
Hi, my name is Tereza Lefnerova
and this is Mirek Nedobyl.
We help organize the course
and we've gotten
a lot out of it.
It was time to get up
a half hour ago.
There was
but I don't remember
Maybe... Oh, what's his name?
Radek!
- I'm not Radek.
- No?
Wasn't there a Radek?
Who is it then?
Aha, Tomas!
A ritual is a set
Sometimes they're called neuroses.
My video for our course
on the meaning of life
should demonstrate my worldview.
No, that's a bit too accurate...
This is my kitty.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Here's the star of the morning:
My roommate and friend,
Klara Hanusova.
- And this is Krenovcova.
- Why'd you run off yesterday?
It was really boring.
Look, you have to endure the
It's the law of the long fuse.
Then everything explodes.
- As if anyone noticed I was gone.
- You and your complexes.
Besides, I thought that you
liked that guy... Tomas.
- What?
- And here he is.
So will you come
with me on the weekend?
Where?
Me and Klara are going.
If you come you won't regret it.
It'll be fun.
It'll be more
educational than fun.
You left, so I got him instead.
- This is too much!
- Beg your pardon?
The last shot was too much.
And what was it?
What made you so upset?
He drew a swastika
on the mirror.
Take your pick:
I'm eithera Nazi or a philosopher.
A delinquent, more like.
What direction did
the ends of the symbol point?
- Left.
- Just as I thought.
Mr. Verner is trying
to get our attention.
It wasn't the "hakenkreuz",
the symbol of the Nazi movement.
The ends would have been
pointing to the right.
The first swastika, a sun symbol
in Mongolia, is the reverse.
How many philosophers
in bomber jacket confuse that?
white magic into black.
In the best nihilistic
tradition, Mr. Verner's implying
that there is no difference
between good and evil.
- Lf I'm not mistaken.
- You are. I'm implying nothing.
Yes. That is also
very nihilistic.
Well, if your life resembles
what you've shown us,
no wonder
you're looking for meaning.
Now we have learned something
about ourselves and each other.
And that's the start of what
we're going to do this weekend.
I think that Mr. Verner's video
has nothing to do with-
Mr. Nedobyl, the discussion
is scheduled for Sunday.
The beginning of the hunt
Friday, September 12, 9:08 PM
Francis Bacon said it's
impossible to finish the contest
without setting the right goal.
But what is the goal
of human life?
At the beginning
everything is clear.
The sperm's goal is to fertilize
the ovum. That's a clear goal.
At birth, our only goal is
to suckle at our mother's breast
to increase
our chances of surviving.
Then what?
How is graduating from school
related to the meaning of life?
Does life
actually even have any meaning?
Night is coming,
animals head for sleep.
You should beware
Woodsmen hunt the weak
not the brave.
And they won't put flowers
on your grave.
Horns ring out,
so good hunting!
You may as well kneel
and bow your head;
Woodsmen from hell
will see you dead.
You may as well kneel
And bow your head;
Woodsmen from hell
will see you dead.
The usual response to this query
is to create an alternative goal
and to hold on to it.
There are five types of these
basic alternative goals.
First:
Work or a career.Second:
Hobbies and interests.Third:
Alcohol or drugs.Fourth:
Faith.And fifth:
Family life.Not to yield to one of these
easy alternative paths
requires a great redirection
of will and eternal vigilance.
This gets us to the main problem
with most philosophers.
Their wisdom
as well.
Time for a break.
Sorry.
Coffee for me.
What are you having?
- Absinthe.
- That's a good drink.
- I don't like it.
- Why's he drinking it then?
Because he's a poser.
The taste is overrated.
So what do you two think
about what the doctor said.
Pretty interesting.
Maybe it was an interesting
display of intellect...
- But it's still just bullshit.
- And what did you expect?
- Why did you come here anyway?
- Hell if I know.
Come on out...
Dammit...
I -just -wanted to - pick you - up!
You mushroom!
I'm gonna stir-fry, you pig!
INSTINC Socrates said: "By drinking
I should be sparing and saving
for this."
That's how a philosopher
should die.
Johann Fichte
died in 1814 of typhus
which he contracted from his
wife, a nurse at a hospital.
Of course, if he had contracted
casual syphilis.
Bon apptit, Mr. Verner.
Then his death
wouldn't have been so dignified.
That's how
a philosopher should die.
Nietzsche collapsed on the street
at the age of forty-two.
That would have been a good death
if it hadn't occurred as a result
of yelling at some teamster
for whipping his horse.
That's not how
a philosopher should die.
Yeah, you're right, I'm a porn
actor. Are you sure this is it?
Yeah, there's no other
Can I ask you
of your autograph, Mr. Donti?
- I don't have any of your
videos here... - That's alright.
Wow! Super!
Here's "Too Thick A Cream".
Wow, thanks!
Hey, are Silvia's tits real?
- Are you making a movie today?
- Yeah.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" - vol. 8.
Loosely based on Harriet B. Stowe.
- Oh, I dig Stowe.
- And they're fake.
- Really?
Like Fellini says:
Film is a fraud. See ya.
So long.
Some tribes in the Amazon have
lived in the forest so long,
they can't see farther
than a few hundreds yards.
Even out in the open,
they can see no farther.
Yes?
Hey there.
- You're late.
- I'm sorry, I couldn't find it.
Everyone's looking for something.
We're just glad you're here.
- Are we doing the group work today?
- Your hand feels nice. - I know.
In groups, we will get
closer to each other.
And getting closer is essential.
When are we doing couples?
Tomorrow?
