Different video types

¶1. Differences among videos which can be produced online can be categorized as was already attempted in the 01 SCHEMA. But where, there, categorization proceeded in abstracto, here I want to do so in concreto for the sake of technical work and video production.

¶2. I can imagine several projects, or overarching heads, under which any singular video out to fit. I have also listed this in the 01 SCHEMA, but here again seek to do so concretely. I want an overarching project enabling the **visual exposure of the great ideas**, on their own terms. Then, I want a project which examines **whole texts** insofar as they can be brought to bear, once more on their own terms, **on specific questions** concerning human understanding and activity. Then, I want a **comparative project on specific questions**, which assumes itself as purely comparative and exegetical. Then, I want a project of **self-reflection**, under which we can assert the heads of (1) into myself (2) into society and (3) into history. The first is a purely personal accounting, the second a socio-political accounting, the third a socio-cultural accounting. The second is institutional and material, the third practical and discursive. Finally, I want a series of **intellectual documentaries** which synthesize thoughts, minds, and myself into a cohesive whole. We can enumerate this list as follows:

Expanded List

¶3. All categories in the 01 SCHEMA can be brought to bear on this list, as follows:

3. Intellectual Documentaries
   1. intellectual development in abstracto
   2. intellectual development in concreto
   3. “misteramazing” as a project (self-consciousness)

¶4. But now we must ask - does each head describe a video, a moment of a possible video, both, or neither? Both, and yet neither. For, any 1 video must be sufficiently described by one head. Yet, any video may express, in the middle of itself, other heads as moments constitutive of itself. Thus an “amazing idea” may contain practical upshots and therefore be, at one level, a reflection into critical practices, thereby inviting reflection into history. Yet, the reflection, to properly be as such, is a reflection first and foremost - it rallies ideas to itself for its purposes. Such is the difference between the expository character of the “amazing ideas” and the critical character of the reflections.

¶5. The specification of a video as such therefore depends, for convenience’s sake, on the first division of the videos - no “history of epistemological milieus” will be conceivable, for such a task is academic and scholastic, for itself. In itself it may be not but, in so being, it will only be a moment of a reflective video, for itself, something more than a charting of intellectual history. It will do so for some reflective purpose.
