Chrysippus: The Man Who Laughed Himself to Death

[@imreallybadatnamingthings]

I think it's really funny that he laughed himself to death at his _own_ joke.

[@softdrinkking]

I crack myself up all the time

[@thekito4623]

He held back his emotions so much that he died when they finally exploded out

[@mythosandlogos]

We finally know the deadly joke from that Monty Python sketch!

[@AthenaProductions1997]

I haven’t seen that sketch do you have a link?

What a gift that sketch is 😂

Tell him please

Omg this comment 😂

I find it fitting that none of his work survives to this day, despite the sheer volume he allegedly wrote. As a theme of Stoicism is accepting many things are beyond your control.

[@AthenaProductions1997]

It always upsets me how much we’ve lost

[@darylparker625]

@@AthenaProductions1997 makes you appreciate what we do have. What we take for granted could be lost 1000 years from now. Only referenced in a few surving works.

[@AthenaProductions1997]

Don’t even, dunno what I’d do

[@chazjones9568]

Stoicism is to limit yourself from negative emotion. Not positive. Stoic philosophers believed you should doubt all pleasures, but their point was to find happiness and tranquility by mastering all emotions (mainly negative ones).

For some more context: figs were associated with the wealthy. Thats why he said it should it drink some pure wine which is also something the wealthy drank. Donkeys being dirty and associated with labor / people of the lower classes made this even funnier.

[@someguy8273]

Funniest shit I've ever seen

[@sid98geek]

​@@someguy8273 Only 200 BC kids know the context behind the joke smh. Everyone else is missing out!

[@silviqpetrova287]

After that the donkey laughed at him

[@voidgod8300]

He literally could’ve said. I kid you not it was a donkey eating figs, funniest shi# I’ve ever seen! What a way to die.

[@AthenaProductions1997]

Damn wish I’d though of that

[@Muscimologram]

This is my favourite person to ever exist

[@cpegg5840]

I’ll never look at donkeys the same 💀😂

[@leahlcruz]

Guess you had to be there.

[@danielbertoldivivan3333]

This video is kinda dangerous. I could have died with HIS joke

[@iitschip]

I showed my gf and her bff this, and we all agreed that at least one point of our lives, we've taken a good hard laugh at a joke that we've made up on the spot

[@Caambrinus]

This video refers to a common method of attacking ancient scholars (of whatever belief) by ridiculing them; the 'evidence' is often drawn from the scholar's own writings and fancifully exaggerated. Cf. Aeschylus and the tortoise (if you're curious). If you really want to know more about Chrysippus (and Stoicism) go to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysippus

[@AthenaProductions1997]

I’m not ridiculing him I’m just telling a story I enjoyed, I hope you don’t think I am ridiculing him 😅

[@Caambrinus]

@@AthenaProductions1997 Fair enough.

[@Imperfectcub]

he really said "i'm dead 💀"

[@sketch_2471]

Gives a whole new meaning to "💀"

[@deepikameena]

It so fascinating story...thankx a Ton for bringing to my knowledge ❤just loved it, how happy he might have felt while dying out of his own laugh 😂😂😂
