Yes, absolutely. The saddest part is that a basic income, at least in the US (I haven't studied other nations, but I would guess it is much the same), is entirely feasible... and we still don't have it! Of course, it requires a significant change in the government's spending priorities, but there is a valid economic model that would see an equal for most or even lesser tax burden for those who truly need the basic income in the first place. The sheer worker mobility and personal freedom it would create is perhaps a large factor in why our current corporate system is so dead-set against it. A guarantee that anyone could at least meet their needs without typical employment would usher in a revolution in the relationship between an employer and his employee. Were the working class able to outright quit, move across the country to a low cost of living area, and start a-new, many employers would face a new degree of competition to provide value beyond just the means for someone to live an otherwise miserable life.
@innakupriyanova84495 жыл бұрын
I would encourage people to look at Orthodox Christian tradition to clear up some of these misunderstandings. The way it is presented here is very misleading, if you don't look into the mysteries of Christianity, you won't get it at all. The power to forgive sins is clearly in the Gospels. But what's more, admitting sins sacramentally and resolving to do them no more cuts the karmic ties from those actions, by Grace. You are free to move forward and evolve. The purpose of the resurrection is a bit more complex than just the Anglo-Protestant "washed in the blood of the lamb" idea....the resurrection is a victory over death, which itself is a symptom of human disconnection from source. We are creators of our own reality, but that state of being is so encrusted with the echoes of human confusions and passions, we never end up getting it right. The resurrection re-defines humanity, lifting it up out of the tangle of sin it creates for itself, by inaugurating a new level of humanity, the Man-God. A new precedent has been established that people can participate in. It has parallels with the idea of Guru Yoga, if that helps. As far as similarity with Greek philosophy...the early Church Fathers acknowledged this, and the continuity of pre-Christian wisdom with Christian Tradition is a subject that was treated thoroughly in late antiquity. And as far as the Bible is concerned......the Bible "Sola Scriptura" is NOT the foundation of the Faith. There is a Tradition which predates the New Testament, and served as a guide to which gospels and letters were the best quality, and deserved canonical status.

Completely agree. Well done. He did make some errors here, and his criticism of Paul is harsh and not particularly accurate. And you’re completely right on Sola Scriptura, a lot of people including secularists have a Protestant outlook on Christianity and the authority of scripture. They presume the Church is a formulation/product of what was written in the New Testament, rather than the New Testament being a formulation/product of the Church/Community that already existed.

thank you again for an amazing video. I enjoy Pierre Grimes' style a good deal. I have a passion for Nietzsche's works and I can say I'd have loved to hear a discussion between Pierre Grimes and the German thinker. Just to give you an idea of how close some of their respective focuses are, one of Nietzsche's key ideas is that Socrates paved the way for Christianism... and he didn't really like this idea. From my understanding, according to Nietzsche Socrates' triumph 2500 years ago marked the beginning of some kind of dark cultural era, which peaked together with Christianism, and which we are still not out of today.

Great interview and fascinating thoughts. But one of the biggest mistakes Mr. Grimes does is to read 19th century protestant "are you safe?"-doctrine into the pauline letters. Not even Luthers "justification by faith alone" in in there. None of the churchfathers, neithere the greeks, nor the latins would even have understood, what those protestant "reformers" or even the modern evangelicals do mean. We should go over to read pauline letters as his contemporaries in late-antiquity did - a christus victor mythology of a divine being trempling down death by death and to those in the tombs bestowing life. "Sola Gratia"-justification theology has not been in Paul before the year 1520 AD. The modern protestant evangelical platitudes of "recieve Jesus as your PERSONAL SAViOUR and GET SAFED" never was in Paul before the age of enlightenment whose individualisation is prerequisite of such a reduced soteriology.

So you guys went to the last canonical gospel in respect to chronologically when it was authored (probably very late 1st century). Gospel of John also stands very distinct and apart from the prior 3 Synoptic Gospels. Historical critical scholars see John as composed of about 4 separate source text that have been woven together in a manner of an editor. There are fairly obvious textual literary seams that they base this on. The Logos poem at the beginning of the gospel is one of the distinct sources. So does Logos really equate to Self? The Gospel of John is famously known as the "I Am" gospel because of quotes it attributes to Yeshua where he says things that resemble the I Am language of Yaweh - self assertion of godhood. The Synoptic Gospels do not have anything like that going on. In fact in the earliest gospel, Mark, Yeshua forbids those he heals and cast demons out of to not go around and say that he is the messiah. Consequently this is why scholars view John as espousing a much higher level Christology than the preceding gospels and even the epistles of Paul. In opening verses of Romans epistle Paul recites an early Christian liturgy and in that is says God elevated Yeshual - IOW, the earliest Christians viewed Yeshua as a great servant that was elevated to sonship by God because of his self-sacrificing attitude. John, however, via the "I Am" quotes attributed to Yeshua, and the Logos poem setting out the pre-existence of the Logos, is pretty clearly trying to establish a divinity stature for Yeshua that has always existed. There's really nothing the author does in John that develops the Logos concept into the Self concept. Look instead to Luke - around Luke 18 am thinking where there is a verse that is parallel to 3rd logion of Gospel of Thomas where it has Yeshua saying that the Kingdom is within us - that is where you'll start seeing the Gnostic concepts of Christianity

Thanks that is a good insight of “I am” I didn’t notice that. Off the top of my head I can recall a Logos reference with the Fisherman story at the end, which is nearly identical to the Pythagoras story of counting fish. In the Jesus Story the number counted is 153 which is half of the Ratio 153:256 which is the Ratio of the Vesica Pisces which is two monads intersecting. The Greek word for ratio is Logos. Two monads intersecting means two Gods intersecting or can also mean heaven and earth intersecting, Spirit and Material, Man and God etc. The counting fish story happens after his resurrection. So it is an instruction as to how to interpret the resurrection.

I'm having some problems with the history assumed by this KZbin. The dominance of the Greek language had nothing to do with the Greek academies. The countries of that areas, Egypt and Syria had been conquered by Alexander the Great whose language was Greek The successor monarchs of the region were his generals who also spoke Greek. The Septuagint was translated into Greek by about 70 Hebrew scholars who were commissioned by the Greek-speaking king of Egypt to translate those works into Greek. The reason that the Septuagint was written in Greek was because the man paying for the work wanted it in Greek He wanted to deposit the Hebrew holy books with the other half million volumes in the Library at Alexandria each of which was also written in Greek. In the Hellenistic age, Greek became the language of commerce and of scholarship. That said, the residents of Israel at the time were militantly ant-Greek. This was the Maccabee Rebellion which overthrew the GreekvSyrian rule there and established an exclusively Jewish enclave. The bible speaks of itvas does Josephus The spoken language was most likely Aramaic. The use of The Greek in the gospels suggests that these were written at second hand by people who translated the Aramaic into something which might be understood in Corinth or Galatia

Turning verbs into nouns is not what "the" gives you. That's not a problem in either Latin or Russian, since both languages have morphological markings of parts of speech. The use of "the" that the man demonstrated is in taking an abstract absolute sense of a word and implicitly postulating the existence of a universal singleton entity referred to by such a linguistic construct. That's where that "castles in the air" type of thinking of "the" languages comes from. Math doesn't have any equivalent of "the", so I don't think it's necessary for abstract logical thinking.

@@BlySS93 However, we are both discussing Metaphysical entities. The Christians believe in a God, which that consider to be ultimate, who is superior to themselves. Where as many Wisdom traditions will claim the ultimate to be the Self which is that which we actually are. So as you claimed, the Christains believe in this 'ultimate' being outside oneself, where as the others claim that you are the 'ultimate', it is a matter of negating the false beliefs of Self to know Self. I think you are also confusing the idea of Self with ego, these two are different. The ego is persona such as I am Bob and I like cars. Self on the other hand is the ultimate Metaphysical entity of Vedantic, Ancient Buddhisim, Hellenic (Platonic, Pythagorean) and among other Wisdom traditions.

Really want to like this video. The “corruption of catholic priests concerning pederasty argument” is kinda confusing, as “a rejection of Platonism” which relies heavily upon this practice in the symposium. This is why The Epicureans, which does not seem like ‘hedonistic materialism’ but rather a kind of felicific calculus, and their rejection of of pederasty seems more Christian, despite the atheistic aspects which wind their way into Marxism. One could argue that epicurean theism is similar to Yang Chu and Lao Zi, which are not atheistic but rather ambiguously theistic, like a kind of gnostic-agnosticism. Which is also typical of Christ and Ibn Arabi. (Ref. Sufism and Taoism). It would be good if we could get more clarification about Dr Grimes’ take on this problem inherent in the symposium.

Huge respect for Pierre, but i must speak out different point of view: Pierre showcases very typical mode of thinking from one who comes from Greek philosophical tradition, but interestingly seemingly ignoring whole medieval era which was basically Greek thinking instead of Jewish thinking. It was late medieval era when atleast some parts of Christianity started to turn away from Plato and Aristotle towards the Bible, such as Luther. Amongst early Church figures there were people who outright admitted that if you put the Bible against Greeks one should take Greeks! The Church was Greek right from start, and Christian thinking always favored Greek mode of doing philosophy. This is major one to understand and to let to sink in. Creation story of the Bible is direct opponent to Greek tradition, and pretty much anyother tradition as well. And it has reason for it: Man can't reach God thru his own means, this is why eating of the fruit was the downfall. This is directly opposing Greeks. the book of Job is all about that: God scolds philosophers, one could easily think Socrates or Plato or anyone in place of Job's "friends". Book of Job obliterates Boethius' Consolidation of Philosophy almost millenium before Beothius was born. There is HUGE canyon between Greek and Biblical thiking. Greeks are metaphysics which rejects practical difficulties (this is in which Socrates exelled in!), the Bible is plea to God in face of practical difficulties: Job's vailing to God was seen as weakness amongst the Greeks... And isnt' it odd that all the time human reason tries to work it's way forward to God it leads into quesitoning existence of God, Free will and so on? Things it started to pursue. Biblical creation story infact explains why this is, human reason in the pursuit of freedom and god-like status bashes it's head against stone wall, it can't do it. Adam had change to walk with God in Paradise where all was Good, instead he wanted to know what is Good and what is Evil and thus bit the fruit. And this is why Paul is so important character. He saw dangers of Greek thinking and tried to steer early christians from path against which the Scripture spoke of. But ofcourse Greek tragedies were whole another case, they were much closer to Biblical stories than Greek philosophers, and as Pierre said in other video Plato didn't like Homer, or any other tragedies. Plotinus, amongst great Pagan philosophers, saw this and he downplayed meaning of Reason and upheld images of archetypes seeding thru meditation and dreams. Surely big problem here is Aristotle and Epicureans and their faith in human reason. Plato atleast tried to operate beyond human reason, but seemed to have failed.

So the myth of Er can be interpreted as a pre-christ analogy, and the 'logos' is more closely tied to the 'self' than the 'word' according to Homer? I hope I'm understanding this right :/

The assertion that the Septuagint was a Greek translation of the Hebrew text is erroneous. The earliest records of the Pentateuch are all written in Greek (the Septuagint), a text written in Hebrew that predates the Greek texts has never been discovered. So it has to be assumed that the Pentateuch was composed by Hebrew scribes in Alexandria approx 260BCE and was written in GREEK, not Hebrew

Mark 16:5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you." Love Pierre, but this is pretty obvious.

The idea that the "Western Tradition" represents a dialogue between different minds across different time periods answers the question "What about these other cultures?" The dialogue presents a coherent progression of ideas from great thinkers using an agreed upon set of terms, definitions and structures. I imagine each culture would have its own dialogue and should be studied independently from the Western timeline.

Regarding 23:00 It is before Mark 16: 8 that claims of resurrection are made: Mark 16: 6 "Don't be alarmed", he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. I find it a little bewildering how Grimes isn't challenged on anything (so far as I've watched) in the interview, or I am misunderstanding something here.

Thank you for sharing this remarkable interview! I might hesitate to give Plato a poor grade in his representation on Socrates because what we have of Plato’s pen are curious dialogues that seem to function as explorations of his “unwritten doctrines”. It’s entirely possible that he gave Socrates’ thought and character more thorough analysis in this capacity, that is, in his everyday function of teaching and discussion that was central to the likes of Albinus, Apuleius, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists. Alternatively , Plato’s clear, straightforward doctrines might have been purposefully hidden, even if they were NOT unwritten, with a view to staying out of trouble. In other words, there may have been incentive to have posterity believe that his core doctrines were unwritten, or to keep them safeguarded from outsiders as did the Pythagoreans. I post this comment more because I find the subject Plato’s “unwritten doctrines” very interesting, not because I think I’m teaching Pierre anything he does not already know! I readily recognize and openly acknowledge his depth and breadth of familiarity with these subjects. To put it vernacularly, he’s hella Hellenic. 😆 Similarly, it is my hope to inspire curiosity and interest in any reader that may not have been aware that Plato had more going on than his extent dialogues. From page 1 of Dillon’s, The Middle Platonists, “..in order to understand the directions taken by Plato’s immediate successors, it is necessary here to say a few words about what are commonly known as Plato’s ‘unwritten doctrines’, since it is to those at least as much as to the dialogues that his immediate successors are reacting.” Page 2 “The reasons for writing the dialogues, and the conditions of their publication, are [..] mysterious.”

If what Pierre says concerning the significance of the word “the” to Greek philosophy is correct (and I’m not sure that it is), therein would lie the problem with “Western” (to use that term loosely) thinking. “The,” as he says, can be used to turn an adjective into a substantive. In other words, it can objectify a quality (i.e., turn a quality into a fixed, changeless object). The world understood as composed of fixed, changeless objects is a world characterized by separation (e.g., this object cannot be that object; A is A and B is B, and A cannot be B; etc.). A world characterized by separation is a world of opposing forces-a view which, in turn, conduces to conflict and alienation. Hence the emphasis on the “self”-i.e., the separate, autonomous self or “ego” that is distinct from all other selves, and which has been the preoccupation of European philosophy and, arguably, the primary mover of European and Middle Eastern history. D.T. Suzuki once put Western thinking (specifically Christianity) this way: “God against man. Man against God. Man against nature. Nature against man. Nature against God. God against nature. Very funny religion!” This perfectly expresses an objectified world of separation as constructed by the use of the word “the.” A closer approximation to what could be called the truth of existence is not objects and separation, but processes and unity-a view held by many pre-Socratic (meaning, pre-Platonic) philosophers, as well as virtually every non-Western (specifically, non-Abrahamic) spiritual system.

I don't think D.T. Suzuki fully understood Christian theology. Imagine a God so against man that he took the form of a man in order to absolve all of humanity of their sins. The overly simplistic characterization of Western thought as being about "objects and separation" has been attributed to the Abrahamic religions when really it should only be attributed to the scientific materialism that became prominent after the Enlightenment era. I think a more accurate characterization of Christian theology could be "multiplicity within unity".
