Timaeus by PLATO (FULL Audiobook)

[@wolfgangamadeus4976]

There are a TON of introductory comments. The reading of the actual dialogue starts 4:37:28 - yes, four and a half hours of introduction.

[@JohnVKaravitis]

Yes, many thanks.

[@TuwinDiane]

Thank You - I was about to give up!

[@mattrockett8764]

+No Remorse The need is the same need or reason that we have had commentators of philosophical doctrine for millennia. It is useful to have more than one interpretation and knowledge builds itself out of the contributions of others.

[@Jeed92]

U guys understate the historical context. Ofc theres tons of introduction

[@drainmonkeys385]

Wolfgang Amadeus OMG so glad I saw your comment, I would have lost my mind waiting thru 4 fucking hours of intro. Lol

[@mattrockett8764]

Thank you, but I might like to address, the introduction and analysis is also quite informative and thought provoking.

[@nejm612]

Thank you

[@nejm612]

Actually, he says there were several deluges

[@TheFaithtrix]

Thank you all for your hard work. I enjoyed the audiobook very much.

[@DataNiks]

What is it about??

[@cristerowarrior1450]

With 4:37 hours of modern preamble do these snobs hate Plato? The work actually starts at 4:37. Skip to that time to avoid pretentious BS

[@Aarronhphs160]

so much time wasted in introduction debunking Plato. That's how I know he was telling truth. Can't even let a dead mans writings live.

[@jacobwalters-backup2200]

They spent longer down playing him than reading his work.

[@billbradleymusic]

Amen

[@danieldelger2434]

The bias of Jewett is as crippling as any other bias.;hs introduction shows this.

[@johnsmith-gz7sd]

We need to learn Latin.

[@billbradleymusic]

Ouch.

[@jkenfore]

As Socrates would say about him, ““one can see that they are a tribe of imitators, and will imitate best and most easily the life in which they have been brought up; while that which is beyond the range of a man's education he finds hard to carry out in action, and still harder adequately to represent in language. I am aware that the Sophists have plenty of brave words and fair conceits, but I am afraid that being only wanderers from one city to another, and having never had habitations of their own, they may fail in their conception of philosophers and statesmen, and may not know what they do and say”

[@professormurdoc1359]

@@johnsmith-gz7sd Plato wrote in Ancient Greek. Just for anyone interested….

[@jkenfore]

“And so you have to begin again like little children and know nothing of ancient times...”

[@TheModernHermeticist]

Thanks

[@firefox7801]

4:50:00 When there is talk of "the great deads of the athenians" and "Athens" (the city, the state, the people is seen as one unit) it appears to me that it is about, like explained, the far ancestors of the athenians aka achaean greeks. The Egyptian is likely talking about the minoans or some more ancient people.

[@TheTrumanZoo]

sounds familiar like the dialogue between thoth-me and asclepius.

[@robert2real]

35:22 Timaeus describes origin of the universe

[@nickorsini7239]

The date they provide 9000years ago from then completely coincides with the end of the ice age. 2 miles of ice above North America completely gone, 400ft of sea level raised.

[@theradgegadgie6352]

That took place over many years, though. According to Plato, Atlantis sank in a day or so.

This all sounds different after reading Brian Muraresku’s book

[@miguelarango3211]

Yes! And the first 4 hours sound like Graham Hancock TED conference disclamer

[@iknownothing0]

Critic from whoever is not wanted . Plato is to be read by open minds by my own logic .

[@RenatusChristoph]

No. Your own logic is not good enough. Critique is a major motivation of Plato's thought, therefore he'd expect his reader to be critical too.

[@TreeGod.]

Wait tho This a kid? Reading Plato is complex Have an adult read it They can actually read it more fluent

[@Kobimus1]

frox3nxxintime skip to the actual dialogue. Some people have timestamped it in the comments. Its like a radio play. Different speakers for different characters.

[@Biggvs_dickvs]

I Thought it was a old asian lady for some reason. To be fair I ever had a kid that reads Plato, I would be so happy.

[@billbradleymusic]

Yeah...beep, buzz, crackle. How about some compression and gate on the microphone.

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

Plato has been whitewashed just have all the great philosophers of olde.

[@athenassigil5820]

Greeks aren't white Europeans? That's a new one.

Some crazy ass people in here.

@@rehm402 it's upsetting how much they altered to change the skin color that's not our fault it's quite unfortunate. But just like a lot of people take pride in their heritage so do we. Our greats throughout time even down to christ and King James were whitewashed that's not fair. Look how everybody got upset over a black mermaid when in fact they actually existed

[@dauntoldrnodgroot3437]

@@rehm402 Well said it matters to me I just posted how Deucalion was supposedly a black man and his wife a white woman were the last two people on Earth by Gods will. Things like that should be known to everyone. It would create more unity and connection. Even in religion all the tribes were at peace at one point of time and there were multiple ethnicities in Alexandria and Rome. Even the Christian and Buddha disciples were of multiple ethnicities. It's not a shot at the general white people when I say white washing it's the people who orchestrate all the cover ups and misinformation to keep us in a docile passive aggressive misinformed perpetual lost state of being.

The Pleistocene Epoch (Ice Age) didn't occur and, the great deluge did not flood the entire surface world. The Sun, Moon, and Stars, are not in our dimension and this can easily be determined by mere observation. Pay closer attention to words for they are symbols that deserve much attention. Our ancestors the Xi, of the Americas, claimed that we Original people, came from the world of Orion. Take a closer look at the word "original" in Original Man. The term original is actually a conglomerate of the words "orion" & "vaginal". [ORI·GINAL] (Ori) Orion (Ginal) Birthed Original Man denotes that Black people were "Orion Born". The word Dinosaur is most intriguing. I am not certain of the history regarding the Dinosaurs, however I am certain that Osiris, or Ausar, was a Reptilian Humanoid. We are quite literally saying his name whenever we pronounce the word Dinosaur. Din·AUSAR! It is vital that we Original people, study terminology because words are symbols that play a major role in our consciousness. The etymology for the word "din" means Man, and the word "saur" denotes the Serpent. Giants are not the Nephilim as most unlearned individuals may think so. The word Nephilim does not mean Giant, it actually translates as; [Nefilim: unholy child; unnaturally begotten men; abortion] The etymology of the word Titan comes from "tit" and "din" meaning "Earth Man". Again, the word Dinosaur translates as Man Serpent or from left to right, Serpent Man. Focus on terms! Bye for now..

[@effff327]

I've been noticing a lot of this lately. I've starting dissecting all my words lately

[@coreygossman6243]

Absolutely braindead. Please investigate the etymological evidence of the words you are using.

All due respect, no-one wants to hear the miscellaneous background noise on your recording. Libravox is lacking in a standard, obviously.
