Its crazy how advanced epicurus was
-
There is no way Epicurus isn't a time traveller doing a little trolling
-
Epicurus’s theory is insanely impressive even with hindsight knowing how primitive their resources were, if you asked me I would’ve guessed that theory was from the 1800s
-
“All I know is that I know nothing” is one of the hardest lines of all time
-
When I first read Epicurus’ essays, I felt like I was grading a high schooler’s homework on particle physics. Initially was like well yeah duh, of course atoms work like that (mostly). I had to physically pause and digest that this man wrote these words around 2000 years ago. That’s when the penny dropped and my mind was truly blown.
-
Bro, Epicurus was so ahead of his time that we didn't know he was ahead of his time for like 2000 years...
-
As brilliant as Epicurus was and remains: -- it's worth noting that he is standing on the shoulders of Democritus; a pre-Socratic philosopher who was the first to hypothesize and establish Atomism, i.e. the theory of atoms and the void.
-
This guy is my new favorite educational youtuber, he makes everything really simple while still getting the point across. Props to him.
-
Diogenes is my favorite simply because of how based he was.
-
Concise, clear, and completely free of bias. A combination of these three is becoming rarer on the internet, and that’s why I love these videos!
-
Epicurus is obviously the guy who invented a time machine and got stuck in the past.
-
"When we exist, death does not exist. When death exists, we do not exist." Such wise words. Also, hands down, everybody watching this has to subscribe. This channel ain't got enough support, it DESERVES VIEWS!
-
He explains it better than any teacher could in a year
-
Diogenes had my favorite theory of them all, although I think he took it to the extreme. But the idea that following your own code of morals whilst ignoring the social norms is the way to achieve happiness is a great way to live your life. I wouldn't self love in public though
-
I'm going to say it: You're the YouTuber I wished existed long ago. There are many educational channels, but they don't cover these types of topics. But you, you simply teach, and teach quickly too. I don't want to read a 1k+ word essay or article to understand what made Socrates different from Plato. It's an immediately like when I clicked here. Your political systems video was great because of its simplicity and how well it made others understand it.
-
Please do one on the stoics! Would love to see an easier side by side of Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus, etc.
-
How have I never heard of epicurus? He was so smart!
-
Dude, you popped up out of nowhere and made me interested in sociology and psychology, my friends study those things and they couldnt even make me. I'll legit buy some books thanks to you
-
"If only I could satiate my hunger by simply rubbing my belly" - Diogenes, when asked to stop cranking it in public
-
Aren’t we missing the second half of the allegory of the cave? I remember man being released from his chains and climbing out into the world of sunlight (true enlightenment). The form of a bird in the allegory would be a living flying bird, not a puppet on a stick. Really enjoyed the video!
