ASMR Philosophy Chat: Origins of Hellenistic Philosophy

[@SpringbokASMR]

Love, love, love to all you great thinkers out there! Thank you for being here and I hope you'll really enjoy this casual philosophy chat. I used a pretty natural speaking voice for this one, but you can skip to the 37 minute mark for pure book sounds, too. I'm sure there will be some disagreements about philosophers, philosophies, interpretations, and modern purveyors of these thoughts, but I hope my remarks come off as respectful and reflective. Stoicism, Skepticism, and Epicureanism may or may not resonate with you and I'm definitely not here to evangelize. But I think each school is rife with wisdom and I just ask that discussion remains respectful. (You all are always awesome about disagreeing respectfully and I can't tell you how refreshing it is.) Memento Mori, Amor Fati, but mostly, love life and each other ❤ Recommended readings are in the video description!

Hope all has been well 🩵 thanks for the post when needed most!

[@Keltrunner]

So happy to see you back!

If that’s what you call soft core OF…

[@Carolina-Four]

After all these years hoping for you to come back, I feel SO grateful everytime a video from you pops in my subscriptions.

[@SpringbokASMR]

And I'm so grateful that you still enjoy them! Thank you. 🤗

[@jtw.111]

Same! I cherish every upload and make sure to not take it for granted.

[@sp00kshow_bby]

Agreed!

[@9and7]

I used to get mocked that 'she's gone' and 'she'll never come back' w hen I posted a 'Please come back' message yearly and lo and behold - SHE'S BACK!

[@osiris4457]

ASMR + learning is simply the best combination there is. Meditations is still one of my favorite books. Thank you Spring for coming back to us!

[@SpringbokASMR]

Thank you so much! I also find a lot of comfort in Marcus and his calm leadership. I sincerely hope you'll enjoy. Amor Fati ❤

[@jamesdomingo9137]

Oh i want to learn

[@eb9782]

UNBELIEVABLE, your random video on rhetoric from like 8 years ago, which also covered some of this material, is one of my all time favorite videos. I never would have dreamed that I'd be getting a "sequel" like this!! Thanks Professor -

[@SpringbokASMR]

I'm so excited to hear your enthusiasm! I hope you enjoy it. And, in case you want more, I did do a direct rhetoric sequel many years back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXmXanSAa82hg7c It's a bit peculiar, but I hope you'll enjoy it, too. Thank you for being here!

[@ASMRChess]

This is absolutely the PEAK of content on the whole platform (for me personally at least). Philosophy + Spring = pure bliss

[@SpringbokASMR]

This is one of the best compliments from one of my absolute favorite creators. We’re all so lucky to have you in this community ❤️❤️❤️

[@natesmith3949]

This is what makes Springbok top tier ASMR. Well researched and well written, I feel like I’m attending my favorite college class. Can’t wait for part 2!

[@emmanuelpagan2352]

Thank you for coming back with such precious content.

[@SpringbokASMR]

Thank you so much. ❤️ It makes me really happy if I’m making content you enjoy!

[@lindsey6579]

She's not just sweet, stylish and nerdy. She's also possibly one of the coolest ASMRtists on the block! Love all the sassy asides. Bless up, Springbok!

[@SpringbokASMR]

You’re too kind! Thank you for the words of encouragement and just for being here, Lindsey! Sending you lots of love and gratitude 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@lindsey6579]

@@SpringbokASMR I love classical myth and history - I bought that color changing coloring book you used, ostensibly for the kids but ended up being the one who liked it best haha! Adding this book to my wishlist too 🔱

[@9and7]

It is a privilege listening to you give these lectures. More please.

[@asmrsona3170]

Spring, when the history of ASMR is written, there is no doubt in my mind you will go down as one of the greatest ASMRtists of all time and your return to KZbin will be documented as one of the greatest events to ever occur in the ASMR community. I know it sounds hyperbolic, but you are foundational to this genre, and very rightfully so. Overjoyed to have you back for as long as this feels right for you. ❤

[@SpringbokASMR]

You honor me with your words and I will try my hardest to live up to them. I just want to thank you, and really my entire audience, for being so kind and uplifting. I've said it before, but you guys make the channel what it is and you make this all a sincere joy in my life. So much to love to you.

[@mclmrtn]

I could listen to you talk for hours and I love how beautiful, bright, and expressive you are during it all. I learned so much! Thank you.

[@mistymountainswhisper]

I appreciate these truly original ASMR videos which are equally relaxing and educative. They might not be as easy in garnering views as the next tapping video but they will be remembered. Also you look fantastic and unscathed by these last years. It might just be on the outside, yet I'm both very happy for and a little envious of you.

[@DakDavies]

I cannot believe you are back AND doing historical videos, let alone stoicism. It is truly a dream come true. Thank you so much Spring and please keep it going! You are the greatest of all time and deserve all of the respect

[@gsc76]

Only Springbok could take off the better part of a decade and come back looking and sounding better than ever.

[@VixieRosee]

The minute you mentioned Hellenistic Philosophy back in your video with the Andromeda painting, I was *waiting* for this. You're such a joy to watch, and I am so so glad you're back 🥰

[@SpringbokASMR]

Thank you so awfully much! I hope you enjoy it!

[@htspencer9084]

Was not prepared to be so thoroughly called out about my Steam purchasing habits in an hellenistic philosophy video 😂 Fantastic video Springbok! Really looking forward to the next installment.

[@SpringbokASMR]

I know. I recorded it and bought another game within a day of so doing. Your struggle is my struggle, my friend. 😂❤️❤️❤️

[@kevingonzalez1834]

The video I've been waiting for. Meditations is my favorite book of all time. A yearly read to a practical way of living.

[@SpringbokASMR]

I love it, too. Marcus was incredibly eloquent and had the charisma and patience to convey Stoicism in a digestible way. Epictetus is great and such a straight shooter, but he's also cantankerous and unflinching. It can be alienating in ways that Marcus avoids.

[@kevingonzalez1834]

@@SpringbokASMR "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." That quote is at the bottom of my email signature for work. But yes, Marcus was truly a rarity in leadership and mankind. An emperor and yet, highly relatable man in his nuanced depictions of his own life. Huge fan of the premeditatio malorum attitude. Keeps us in check!

[@shelbymoyer6599]

I feel like I just gained a million brain cells, not just from the content, but the vocabulary and sentence structure and just wow this is so elegant and informative and just beautiful to listen to thank you

[@SpringbokASMR]

You are incredibly gracious and sweet. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. 💖

[@SuperJamesus]

I love the teacher videos spring and the literary ones, really do give me new life enriching directions to go explore ❤ - we need to get a springbok book club discord going that would be perfection.

[@SpringbokASMR]

Thank you so much. I'd absolutely love to host something like that if there's a lot of interest. Thank you for a wonderful idea!

[@SuperJamesus]

@@SpringbokASMR a place to share poems and music and book recommendations and discuss them. Heaven, you have the loveliest followers so I’m sure there would be interest. ❤️

[@adventureike]

This was my favorite piece of content you've ever published!

[@SpringbokASMR]

I’m really, really happy to hear that. It means so much to know it brings you joy. ❤️

[@TeamTimeRiders]

This is a name I haven’t seen since I started watching asmr content years ago. What an incredibly pleasant make-my-year surprise to learn that you’re back!😊

[@CyberChoom]

Words cannot truly describe how excited I am that you're posting regularly again. I've been watching your videos since I was 21 and I'm 32 now. I feel like an old friends come back into my life :')

[@egijlstra]

Resplendent as always Spring. I loved the coloring book video and I'm really looking forward to seeing this one. Thank you for this wonderful content.

[@Jsmith2024]

So happy to see you back again with new material! Welcome back!

[@TheMadEgyptian]

Thank you spring! Words cannot describe how happy I am to see you posting once again ! You have always been my absolute favorite ASMRtist and I am delighted every time I see a new post of yours :) Best wishes to u and yours

[@nickthompson6466]

Whether it be gaming, educational, or role play videos it doesn't matter. You always produce gold! Sending lots of appreciation hugs for all the great stuff you make for us! ❤

[@Yourneighbor1112]

Oh my gosh! I remember your vocabulary videos!! You are the aficionado of learning-type asmr, and I am deeply grateful!

[@amymyers5503]

Oh yes, vocabulary videos. Loved them.

[@irawhitejr.452]

I am so glad you are back! You are one of the originals I watched when I first discovered asmr and I always loved your videos❤

[@ChookaaFindlebean]

I could listen to you talk about anything, all day. I truly admire you, I look up to you, I think you're videos have changed my life. You're so knowledgeable, well spoken, kind and passionate. You're the kind of person I want to be.

[@SpringbokASMR]

That's an absolutely lovely and deeply meaningful compliment and I thank you. I look up to people who go out of their way to contribute kindness and gratitude, and who can make meaningful changes in their lives and keep growing. So the admiration is completely mutual, my friend and I'm proud to know you. ❤

[@ChookaaFindlebean]

@SpringbokASMR you've made my day, my week, my month!

[@slim8130]

Thank you so much for using a natural speaking style. Your normal voice is very soothing and comforting to me. After all these years you are still my favorite ASMRtist! I also love the topics you choose to talk about. To me personally, these type of videos feel more inviting than just a general trigger videos if that makes sense.

[@SpringbokASMR]

I’m the exact same way. I can’t get very triggered by extremely intentional content, so I try to provide a variety of experiences so there’s something for everyone. I also just get really excited about certain topics 😅 I’m so happy you enjoyed it and I appreciate your support ❤️❤️❤️

[@julianacarvalho1977]

Thank you so much for your videos Spring! It helped me so much years ago when I was going through my depression. Sending you loads of love and hugs ❣💕💜🧡💚🤍

[@SpringbokASMR]

I'm so happy that you fought through it and are here! Thank you for being strong and thank you for your words of kindness. 💖❤❤‍🩹

[@Barry_Garza]

I'm playing this in the background first as I work, so I'm not paying attention as much as I can tell I ought to be - I assure you I'll have this on repeat soon enough to give it what it deserves - but that "me_irl ending" line caught me so off guard. I'm smiling so wide laughing to myself - I just find it so funny how somehow that gives me nostalgia. Anyway, I love listening to people just talk about what they're interested in, thank you Spring.

[@SpringbokASMR]

I'm so glad you enjoyed that. I find Zeno to be so relatable in his clumsiness! 🤣I can't thank you enough for your support and for letting me chat about something I love. ❤❤❤

[@TheNathansblog]

This type of intellectual learning is what I loved about your asmr and I'm glad you were able to bringing it back. I still use your vocabulary video to go to sleep.

[@CSCrimson]

It's so wonderful to see you making videos again Mrs springbok. Your videos are always wonderfully informative and enjoyable as well as relaxing 😌

[@benloud8740]

Your educational videos are my favourite. I've learned so much from you

[@beniceintheinternet6532]

My two favourite things: greek philosophy and Springbok ASMR 💕

The months that went into crafting this video become apparent in the excellence of the summations and perfect use of language and contextualization. I loved it.

[@claystripe6514]

Teacher!Spring is truly some of my favorite ASMR. Relaxifacts: I Love Lucy might be my most played ASMR ever? Would love to have Spring return to media history sometime, but really just happy to have her back in my feed.

This was so good. Looking forward to the next installment.

I was hoping to see more of your videos! You are so charming! :) Thank you for continuity!

[@SpringbokASMR]

Thank you, you're too kind! I hope you enjoy this one. ❤

[@bradnarraway9141]

Spring, this is such a lovely (and informative!) video, and while I do typically prefer a soft-spoken or whispered ASMR video, the sing-song tenor of your natural voice and your obvious interest in the subject matter made this a very cozy video to watch and listen to 😊Thank you for the obvious effort you put into this video, and thanks for sharing it with all of us!

[@michaelward2161]

So happy you're back! Would love to hear more philosophy chats.

[@AtreidesOne0000]

The three important questions about matter: 1. What is it? 2. Why is it? 3. Can I put more pumpkin spice in it? 😂 I was not prepared for this and it cracked me up. Thankyou for injecting your personal brand of humour into all of your videos. It keeps things so interesting. Hoping that things one day work out for you and Deacon. 😉

[@SpringbokASMR]

I will never move on. Deacon, why have you forsaken my thirst?! I adore you for remembering that 😅❤️❤️❤️

Some of my favorite videos of yours are the ones you did as a professor teaching on rhetoric. This is a treat!

[@Chrispbacon94]

I’m a little late to be able to say “welcome back” but seeing your name on my recommendations was definitely not on my list and a perfect evening wind down. I’d love to have a part 2 whisper ramble like you were doing before you stopped talking those were wonderful! Your asmr was sorely missed!

[@tomoyo.b]

this was so interesting!! can't wait to learn more in part two❤

This is a great video. Calming and entertaining with enough educational nuggets to hook viewers into doing their own research. Thank you 😪

[@tablet8902]

OMGGGG I never got ASMR but maybe it was because I didn't find the right one, please please more ASMR where it highlights your intellect and knowledge, it makes me happy to know smart pretty people still exist.

I'm so happy you're back, Spring!!

[@yslfbg3447]

Fantastic video, Thank you spring I Love your "Professor" lecture style videos, we all wish you the best ❤

[@Jamjamz_]

This brings me back. I studied literature and Greek and Roman history and when I found your channel, I was burnt-out recent graduate. I admired the passion in your videos. almost 10 years later I scarcely engage with any of that, but I do find myself more at peace as a person, and I hope to re-visit reading with a renewed interest in the near future.

[@Oldmanplum]

Already watch this video over a dozen times One of my favourites since your old library and rhetoric videos

[@SpringbokASMR]

You just brightened my day! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to spread some sunshine 🥰

[@SpringbokASMR]

Welcome and thank you! That really means so much to me and I'm thankful for your kind words. I try to do a variety of relaxing content, but educational content has always been some of my favorite to create. So knowing you enjoy that makes my day brighter.

Amazing video! we need more like this one

[@LordStang]

I definitely identify most with Stoicism, it’s basically the way I see the world, 🤷‍♂️ and also something that can bring me comfort when things are not going exactly how I imagined. I wish I had you as my professor, school would be way more interesting and fun. Plus, I’m absolutely positive that I would know a lot more about the world than I do now, without any doubt. 🤓
