[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

I remember having a conversation with a retired history professor, he told me he tested himself at the end of every semester by asking the class to guess his political affiliation. And if at any point there was an accurate consensus about it, all or nearly all of them guessing correctly, then he would have retired that year. Because his job was to teach history, not his personal beliefs. Too bad there aren't too many left like him.

[@pandakicker1]

I can confirm that your professor was amazing vast majority of them are not like this anymore. I have had professors openly admit that they are trying to turn us into activists. I have had professors proudly proclaim that they are socialists while also claiming that socialism is a stepping stone to communism!!! My anthropology textbook from the last few years said in it that anthropologists analyze social structures through a Marxist lens. I shit you not! I can show you the book and exact page where it says that if you don’t believe me. I find this all incredibly disgusting and the go young people who go straight into college after high school are none the wiser because they’ve already been primed by their teachers in their public schools to carry that ideology with them already. The professors in college expect their students to already think that way. It’s disgusting. I lucked out because I waited like 7 years after high school to go to college so I already had lived real life before going. Not to mention he fact that I went to religious private schools until high school and my high schools were not quite as ideologically captured back then as they are now.

[@RobBurden]

Marcus Aurelius didnt just 'write a book' it was a collections of his diaries, him working though his own practise of stoicism.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

It's _really_ important context that they're personal journals. He is often billed as a philosopher and his Meditations as a philosophical text meant to instruct others even though he was only a student in the context of philosophy and his journals were meant for himself and not for publication or the instruction of others, and it often leads to two erroneous courses of thought. First, by the gullible, that his Meditations are a manual for life that everyone should follow (there is plenty of wisdom and good advice there, but it is all intended for a Mister Marcus Aurelius; If you are not him, some of it is bound to be way offmark: One early and easily demonstrable example being that he describes an orgasm, in the process of mortifying his pleasures, as an expulsion of mucous, which does not apply well to a female reader). Second, by the overly critical, that Stoicism itself is fundamentally naive and that Marcus Aurelius was pretentious and somehow overhyped or overrated. How would you feel if all your life's work as well as your religion were judged by someone in the context of a set of personal journals you wrote specifically for working through trauma? Is it sensible to judge a school of thought primarily by the personal study notes of a single student? It is, ironically, a very naive take.

[@marcusaurelius4941]

People nowadays are obsessed with all the self-help personal growth stuff, so it was bound to be misconstrued in this way. A more sensible way to look at Meditations is to see it as a "peek into the mind of an Emperor", and yes, you will probably learn something along the way, but it's not meant to teach you anything

[@ace448]

The real issue is that historical civilizations and peoples would be so foreign to us and we would be foreign to them. This idea that you can apply modern morality or ethics to them is laughable. Here is a sad truth, rights are not real. They are an agreement, a social contract one might say. We have lived with modern rights so long that we think they are inherent. They are not and they won’t be in a 1000 years. Societies evolve or change and it is only from our modern moralistic view that we judge them. In a 1000 years our morality and culture will be judged just the same. Democracy could be seen as insanity.

It was not "much like today" and she'd be surprised if she learned about the punishments for that.

It depended on who was in charge. As far as historians can tell, it varied from emperor to emperor in the Empire they can't really find any evidence supporting or outlawing it during the Republic period. Rome spanned centuries.

Define debunking. Metatron didn't "debunk" the professor here as such. He corrected the way in which she presented the information. And he was right in that she was letting her politics rule her brain. If you were constantly "debunking" your professors in class, it suggests that you thought you knew better? That sounds problematic and arrogant. I've been to University here in the UK several times. I'm now in my 50s. The UK is far more liberal than even California. And I can say that I've only ever encountered politics in the classroom once. Just a law lecturer recounting a time that she refused to defend someone on a rape charge because she thought he was guilty and she dug her heels in when her law firm insisted. Turned out he was acquitted but she blamed stereotyping because he was from a well-off family and arrived at court in a nice suit, while she was from a poorer family and arrived at court in a low-cut top and a mini skirt. Teaching should be neutral, but the fact that you say that you've been "fighting this fight" suggests your own politics to me and what you're actually angry about is the fact that you don't feel you were taught things from the perspective of your own political beliefs today.

Second, while _deities_ and other mythological figures have been shown to have spread alongside language, the Romans were terrible at putting their finger on what these correlations actually were between cultures. For example, the Norse DID have a Jupiter equivalent with an etymologically derived name, but the Norse Zeus/Jupiter/Dyeut was not Thor, but Tyr/Tyrwaz.

Metatron - great video, thank you! As always, I appreciate your efforts to set the record straight. Your comment about Japanese stadiums rings true. I traveled around Honshu for a couple weeks back in '09, and even though I never went to a concert there, one of the many things that really impressed me was how clean it was wherever I went. Even more surprising, was the quite notable lack of waste bins, at least in the cities (parks I don't recall if they had them there or not - guessing not there either) , which left me with a vexing question: where and how do the Japanese dispose of their waste? (especially considering how unnecessarily packaged food items were lol). As a side note, one of the other things I was struck by were the deer. Wherever I went, whether in Nara or Miyajima, they weren't afraid of the people at all - they'd come up to you and you could even pet them! Such a contrast to the deer in my current neighborhood in California. How does that even happen?

The hard part about judging these experts is knowing their motivations. Most people aren’t aware of their personal biases. I would bet that the majority of the actual experts who have a glaring problem in just a few area are just unaware of their personal feelings influencing their perspectives. It doesn’t excuse it, because if you claim to be an expert you should not unfairly characterize ANY aspect, but I would argue that it’s not out of malice, but ignorance of their own biases.

It’s somewhat natural for our view of history to change over time. With new information or additional study. However there is a difference between that and something that seems to be more common recently which is an importance to view everything in regards to our current social concepts. Often academics will disagree based on available information. Which is great for pushing scholarship. Sometimes rivalries helping to move our understanding forward. This I like. The newer stuff where academics seem to get mired in conflict based on “improper” subject of instruction not based on the search for knowledge but what is socially acceptable. Which Is the whole “cancellation” business. Which I think makes for a diminished educational experience. I was in a museum recently with a friend of mine who has actually taught at well regarded NYC universities. He took the time to point out to me where a specific ancient South American empire was said to spread its culture through trade, art and agriculture. Whereas in reality this society had enslaved the surrounding cultures and subjugated them. While at every chance pointing out the nature of more modern western countries to colonize and usurp parts of that world to their own economic gain. My friend is pretty liberal as I suppose technically am I. Even he can see this creep that my whole rant is based on. Where history is being contaminated by modern biases. I think if you looked around you could find a place to have the debate you seek. Not everyone is as polarized as the internet seems to paint them. You could probably find some people interested in good faith discussion on whatever interests you.

Roman concrete: The way Roman's used concrete is not the same as we do. Concrete was their primary building block, modern times we do not use concrete this way, we have a frame and rebar that concrete goes over. Roman's would have wanted the concrete as strong as possible, modern applications will vary, but it's not the main load bearing structural item. You also have to take into consideration the other side of building, it would be much harder for the Roman's to tear down a structure, and a fundamental flaw would ruin a whole building because it would be very difficult to fix it after construction.

Actually she may have thought that likening ancient roman sexuality to modern sexuality would make modern people relate to rome more. That is to say: What she (unreasonably) advertises mightn't be a certain kind of sexual morality or practice, but ancient rome itself. That wouldn't be modern politics, but the passion of a scholar; a passion that _does_ align very well with her ethos specifically as a teacher, trying to make people relate to her beloved subject a little more. _Or_ she may have an altogether different motivation still... Hence it is unreasonable (or at least ill founded and speculative) to trace her (possibly deliberate) error to a _specific_ motivation. That of course doesn't render the whole point moot: what's academically wrong is still wrong. Injecting modern politics into a presentation of factual history is still a real and very general problem. In fact so general that we made it the academical standard to _always_ ask who the author of any source is and what motivates them. Savour that: we absolutely always _always_ *_always_* expect the injection of politics. Throughout all of history, in all the world. That's not a secret hint, but a formally taught basic requirement for any academic historian. We'd probably be well adviced to first look at ourselves in this regard before judging others. Seriously. And once more _with feeling_ ! Yes, looking at You dear reader, who might find Metatron to be somewhat _more_ right "because that modern tendency to inject politics into everything is freaking annoying". I mean... it certainly can be, but that should have no bearing on the validity of Metatron's argument. Assuming otherwise is... _drumroll_ ...injecting politics into _logics_ of all things. Sure You didn't slip down that slope just a tiny bit? Well: Let's just say I can relate ;) Moreover a criticism of motivations basically comes down to an _ad hominem_ argument (attacking the author rather than the argument). That's dirty. That's breaking away from academic standards. IF we can reconstruct an authors motivation we should use that as a lense to read the text correctly. That much is analytical. There shouldn't be any problem with a _known_ motivation! To morally criticise it is no longer analytical. It does not further our understanding of the text. What's worse, morally judging another for not being analytical is _absurd_ : it is a self-defeating argument. Hate the trolls if You will, but don't let them drag You down to their level. Hypocrit that I am Yoda may hate me, as I personally dare only promise that I'll _try_ ... Love You anyway Metatron ^^

@@juliantheapostate8295 Epictetus and Seneca are definitely the better choices for someone seeking condensed primary work on Stoicism from a single author. Aurelius was not even strictly a Stoic; He was an _eclectic,_ combining elements from the rival philosophies of Stoicism and Epicurianism. Taken as whole systems the two are mutually exclusive, and neither is one-size-fits-all and they cannot be treated as univeraal truths at least as concerns ethics (if every person were to follow either philosophy, society would be non-functional; this was an ethical theme in ancient Greece and even through to modern Europe, where philosophical ethics oftem target specific groups rather than all of humanity, as for example Aristotle's good man is inherently a minority of humanity and can be no other way and Nietzsche did not concern himself with the morality of "superfluous" people; And there is am argument to be made that the popularity and enduring appeal of Stoicism and Epicureanism is that they hit much parger target groups); consequently we do not see Aurelius concern himself much with physics or cosmology, being an almost strictly ethical thinker, as Epicureanism and Stoicism are in fact _ethically_ compatible to some degree. I would argue that the metaphysics of both systems still hold merit and that the last hubdred years of theoretical physics have redeemed Stoic monadism to a large degree, but I know that a claim like that is walking the tightrope with the crowd here- After all, it is essentially applying modern standards to ancient beliefs.

Regarding the Concrete it was probably a lot of dumb luck. The lime when heated to drive off the water to form cement especially in areas like Italy that are surrounded by water have high humidity which would be absorbed by the prepared cement causeing it to begin to cure as soon as it cooled enough for water to bond with the lime. Therefore by preparing the quick lime by heating it to make the cement and then mixing the hot lime into cement and immediately placing it you end up getting the lime clasts she was talking about and it prevents the cement from curing when it sits around requiring it to be reheated to prepare the cement for use in concrete. And yes you need water to cause the lime clasts to "heal" the concrete it works best under water but the process will still work on concrete buildings it simply takes longer for the water to activate and repair the concrete. The real reason we don't do it is the factories we use to make cement are huge and make it cheep because of scale we would need to have equipment on site to heat the cement red hot and then add it immediately to the concrete mix to use because of how quickly it would set. Making it difficult to be batched off site.
