''TOTUM GRAECORUM EST'' Cicero.

The scene with the plucked chicken between Plato and Diogenes likely never happened. If you read Plato's dialogue Statesman, where that exact definition of "featherless biped" was lifted, you'd see in context that Plato was heavily critical of such sterile definitions as having anything to do with the essence of a being. It sounds like somebody read Plato's dialogue poorly, didn't understand the irony, and then came up with their own headcanon with Diogenes. I hate that apocryphal story for that reason, and I hate Diogenes for becoming the vehicle of many other kinds of frivolous nonsense.

Socrates fought for injustice, only to become it's victim.

Although the content and speak are pretty good, the videogame music and sounds are extremely annoying and distracting, also important diagrams and texts are being shown too short. This deserves a re-editing, pls. receive this feedbck positively and improve future videos thx

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you. It helps understand Socrates. I am learning philosophy on my own, and videos like your are godsend. They distill the main issues, making the reading of the dialogues much clearer.

Very glad I found stumbled upon this new podcast! The on-screen quotes during the interview are a great addition. Looking forward to future content

Really great job, Matt. You got things out of Bill that others have not before you. I think he appreciated you bringing in your own cosmology and how psychedelics have emerged you. So glad that you met him at AVAM..:

I see your channel riding the algorithm wave in your future! I believe the sophists had a lot to say.

Please do more cynic videos.

You should make a video asking, was G.G. Allen a cynic philosopher???

The richest most powerful man in the world ask the poorest most lowly "Do you want anything I'll give you whatever you ask for." The poor man answered. " I do have a request. If you could just step two pases to the left your blocking my sunlight."

awesome.

1:43:59 "Reading about water won't get you wet" hey now, that depends entirely on what types of fetishes you have!

Great interview 😎

WAY TO GOOO!!! btw I need you to cover my shift. Nah, I'm playing ❤

The absorption and emission of light is spontaneous, continuous change! The continuous movement of positive and negative charge, Union of Opposites!

I think you should read the second part of Tantra Vidya by Oscar Hinze. He analyzes the second part of On Nature in light of Vedantic monism which characterizes the world of appearances not as false, but rather merely a lesser level of truth.

Thx for sharing. The humannity owes too much to ancient Greece and Solon. 200 years after his reforms in Athens, the kingdom of Qin in ancient China made reforms(商鞅变法). But instead of making it democratic and granting more freedoms to its people, the reforms put more straitjackets on the people. The people's sole purpose was working the land and fighting in wars! And the rules were very specific, if you broke a rule, the punishment was brutal. And the families and neighbors would be punished as well. Western democracy vs eastern autocracy!

Such great commentary. Thank you for sharing

Very good talk - thank you for sharing

in the future, if there is one hopefully, our descendants will be shaking their heads about our barbaric practices and we have lots

teachers today, also expect to get paid, so shameful!

Check out the Immortality Key They did psychedelics If you die before you die, you will never die

very well explained

excellently executed and presented, I've been looking for a good coverage on the cynic philosophers, this one hit the nail on the head, well done

Good choice going with the ssl interface.

Very nice presentation - thank you.

Amazing! Linear Christianity is such an unsatisfactory replacement for these rites. And pure science is even worse. Look at how the modern western world is, no community, no unity. I hope soon we can make new mystery cults and bring people back together again.

I’ve watched this video several times and it’s one of my favorites of yours. Keep up the good work.

You have a great channel. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos.

Greta great cynic

Helping the poor is was jesus idea

Keep it up man this is the type of content KZbin should be used for

I would posit that Hamashiach is a stoic with cynical predispositions. John the Baptist though… That man was a cynic to the bone.

The dog-sage teaching the way of the dog

Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, who wore camel hair cloak and ate wild honey. Sounds like a cynical character to me. This is a great video. I think it would be improved by a discussion of the nature and influence of John the Baptist.

Thats true, Advaita Vedanta also says nothing is.. or no thing has any existence of its own. There is therefore no independently existing world, just an appearance in consciousness. All is only Brahman and thou art that. Schopenhauer resolved this Kantian unknowabilty of the thing is itself by simply pointing to its non objective nature as Will.. or Self. Hume couldn't find any objective self in any of his experience, that's because the Self is not itself an object of knowledge, but the subject itself and that is known actually, but not in the same way one knows an apple... this is clearly extrapolated in the Vedantic discrimination between the seer and the seen (Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka). Regarding the silly ongoing debate ahout Parmenides and Heraclitus. I think a Vedantic metaphor makes it clear, that of the ocean and the waves, currents and so on. In the ocean everything is in constant flux and no wave has any independent existence, but isn't it all just water and nothing else... just like the One.. or as Vedanta might say..one without a second. Hence, even though appearances seem to be in constant flux, nothing of the fundamental nature of being ever changes.

I really like your channel 😊

If you listen to an audio recording of the dialogues; there are many such on KZbin…. You really see why people could not stand him. It’s one thing to read his questions, it’s another to hear them…. Even in translation

The homeless on streets of California live like that... but they are on Fentanyl and Meth

Thank you brother 🙏

Fantastic video, love the art too... very enjoyable to watch

Very interesting video which I already know I'll often revisit. Thank you for the great work and research that must have gone into it.
