Joker destroys Scientific Worldview

Hi folks!
First of all, I am not sure how to introduce this, so, sorry for the funny title, but I think it would capture the essence of one of my characters.
I have posted about the entire series in "metaphysically-relevant art forms", for that is what this is:
a fragment of a dramatic, tragic-comical rendering of thought - a small piece of an epic narrative called "Logos XXI: The Rise of the One".
Plato is of course the main inspiration for representing ideas like this, though I have never been a fan of his "one lead character (Socrates) against all" approach, to be honest, which strikes me as poetically antithetical to the idea that the human mind is governed by a dialectic of opposites.
I'm pretty much a follower of Heraclitus.
(Though in Plato's defense, I feel inclined to argue that Socrates vs. the poets in the Republic, his rendering of the ideal state of mind - the city of God within and without - is actually a manifestation of Plato's inner conflict between rational philosopher king and pantomimic trickster poet, so there is that...)
Anyways, I think as for the plot of the first video, the Platonic Führer (David Donnerstein) presents a kind of cosmic, psychoanalytical reading of the development of the Western mind which has reached the end of father-archetype dominated consciousness, which God's Joker (Walter Theodor Feuergeist) then reacts to from a purely philosophical angle, demonstrating that the mainstream scientific worldview is indeed the manifestation of a cognitive paternal complex and thus pathological.
Perhaps, this is a Jungian perspective complemented by a Hegelian one.
I am adding this second video, because the analogical demonstration of the category error underlying the ontological argument for the post-human computer Gods ("Simulation Argument") is the same which was used in the video above.
As for the artistic style, well, what can I say: I'm a late millennial who grew up during the Hip Hop revolution (I think it's now the biggest form of music, worldwide), comic book heroes hitting the mainstream and Tarantino releasing Inglorious Bastards and Django.
Plato: "poets just imitate!"
Not sure how future historians of art will characterize the early 21st century, but it's certainly the most radical age so far, given that for the first time ever, lyricists, writers, philosophers or movie makers can really say anything at all and portray anything the way they see fit.
Absolute freedom of expression is as much a gift as it is a curse, I guess.
Anyways, with all of that said, please enjoy and best regards from almost snow-white Southern Germany
