[@yonee1984]

You make very good summaries. You mention a lot of details most channels ignore. Keep up the good work!

Anaximander: 1:15 It’s said that he set up a gnomon 1:37 he was a well known cartographer 2:05 he believed the earth floated in space 2:23 he thought the earth was cylindrical 3:08 he thought the moon and sun were rings 3:48 he thought the first animals were water fish 4:19 his theory of where we came from 5:22 he realized water didn’t explain everything 8:26 he came up with apeiron 8:37 he thought the foundation of the universe was an unlimited divine force. 9:35 he was the first to imagine in an infinite amount of universes.

Incredibly insightful and clear video.

[@dzanderallison]

late to the party, but that's the most dramatic rendition of Pop Goes the Weasel I think I've ever heard.

[@SolomonsCave]

Yea, my videos from 2018/2019 had their background music a little louder than I'm doing these days.

[@yzyzyz44]

your videos are so great!!

[@SaniaKhan-q4s]

You explain things very nicely.

[@SolomonsCave]

Glad to hear that!

We tend to reify our holistic perceptions into binary concepts. We reify the holistic perception of hotter and colder into the opposites of hot and cold. Hot is not cold and cold is not hot, and never the twain shall meet, whereas in Reality they are the complementary self- extensions that proceed from and return to meet in the middle of the Continuum we call 'temperature'. There is always some of each in the other, even if only a molecule or two. The Divine is Infinite potential Eternally actualizing, for only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity.

wow, if there was a possibility I would like it multiple times! amazing!

The thorny bark capsule idea isn't too far off from the modern idea that eggs had to evolve before amphibious animals could become fully land dwelling though

[@inavandenheuvel3236]

Het is wel grappig en interessant om een korte blik te werpen in de denkwijzen van deze geleerden uit het verre verleden

[@curtiscole3735]

Why did you stop making these

[@sophiaangelini4368]

Thoughtful and deeply instructive series. Many thanks for sharing. I subscribed and will check for more videos.

[@fatimaaftabb7428]

Best video! i guess I'm gonna cover greek philosophy from your channel

[@sarasantanna6281]

Thank you so much for this video

[@SolomonsCave]

Glad you liked it!

[@GarryBurgess]

great video. After just leaning Ancient Greek for just a few days, I feel excited to see the word άπειρον.

[@yvonnegonzales2973]

Fragments - i remember his evolutionary belief, thanks

[@EncodeUnknown]

You are the best!!

[@ThomazLera]

Thanks for the good content! Succinct, objective but covers the main aspects.

[@PlasmaSnake369]

You should read a book called 'Zetetic Astronomy'

[@manuaseff9516]

Wow Anaximander was a real OG. Original Genius, sorry Thales.

[@innosanto]

They are both great geniuses, not common genius. Thales was first to talk about logic and the theorem of ratios and also the first to say that the world is not created by gods whi had sex and to explain naturalistic ways of forming.

[@QueenCityFilmsComm]

The Best!

[@innosanto]

Anaximanders ideas were of great genius

[@yasiralghamdi8539]

I like how scientist today give live to an ancient myths. Or did they copy it and than just edit it to be modern🤔.

[@jackmclaren768]

There are many particular ways of saying the universal. "All that could be thought has already been thought, the task is to think it again" - Goethe.

[@dzanderallison]

was Thales implying that early life lived in a coconut?

[@SolomonsCave]

I don't remember that particular detail, though there are a lot of stories about Thales scattered throughout ancient literature.

[@whtwolf100]

All heat and cold and opposites come from arcate.... well if you translate this to our idea of most opposites being the result of energy difference, then...it all did come from the big bang

[@timchiu501]

Seems like Jedism

[@billytheschmid]

Sounds like the Akasha in Vedantic Hinduism.

[@SolomonsCave]

Interesting, I should read more about Hindu/Indian philosophy :)

[@billytheschmid]

@@SolomonsCave Let me suggest Schopenhauer's favorite reading - "The Upanishads".
