You left out my favorite - Socrates of Athens himself, the Wisest of All the Greeks! He fell into the category of 'had a job on the side', since he was STRONGLY opposed to the whole 'selling knowledge' thing. Those who did that - by working as tutors, speech-writers and whatnot - he termed 'Sophists' rather than true Philosophers. 'Philosopher', after all, means 'Lover of knowledge', whereas 'Sophist' just means 'dude who knows stuff'. And if you ask Socrates, no-one who truly LOVED knowledge would dare to put a price-tag on it. His side-gig? He was a stonecutter - a bit of a growth-field in ancient Athens, as it happens. Also might explain why his frequent philosophical takedowns so rarely escalated into fist-fights - I betcha he had a mean right hook!

Seneca was an extremely wealthy landowner/money lender, Plato came from money, Thales (if we're going all the way back to the pre-Socratics) did too. It was a rather common theme, since you had to have a certain amount of free time in order to get access to this kind of education.

Hey, nice vid, but there was also another common source of income for philosophers: being descended from a wealthy family. Plato is a prime example of this, he came from one of the most aristocratic and rich families in Athens, and basically never ran out of money. Thucydides is another example, as he was also born obscenely wealthy, and I would claim that he does qualify as a "philosopher"

Unfortunately, although modern philosophy would just probably be garbage propaganda going as far back as 150 years ago. I prefer classical, they were not perverted by modern day vanity and privilege.

I wouldnt say that, I majored in philosophy and now Im an CNIM that makes 104K a year. In fact philosophy students tend to outperform buisness students, all other liberal art students, and some STEM fields. But you could have spent the time you used spreading misinformation on fact checking and you did not. Perhaps you could have benefited from a philosophy education.

Love ancient Greece and their ideas and principals. They gave the world: democracy, free speech, modern medicin, individual rights, constitutional form of government and many more. Lets not forget that although modern Greece has a high debt, we are also in debt to them. :) Love and respect Greece from Czechia, I'm partialy Greek myself. 🇨🇿❤🇬🇷

Socrates was a mason. Aristotle was a teacher and a physician, and in fact tutor to Alexander the Great at one point. Plato was an aristocrat of wealthy family. (He tried being a playwrite early in his career, then gave it up for philosophy, where he could not help continuing to write dialogues. He was also, in his youth, a wrestler and built for it; “Plato” is a nickname from that time, meaning “broad.” His real name was Aristocles.)
