Don't say that phrase too loud, you never know when TerribleWritingAdvice might show up...
i heard him say that!
Imma go listen to new order now, thx
Damn u beat me to it
I feel like maths lessons at school would have been way more interesting if they talked about this stuff!
I find that Sp0ns0rBLock helps, too!
Yeah, but this is philosophy or history
@@volodyadykun6490 it only takes a few minutes to tell the students about him, which in turn would make his theories at least somewhat interesting and memorable.
What really gets me going is proof. I find stuff I learn in math more interesting if they show us how we get there.

My guy died before he touched them demon beans lol. Now that’s conviction!
more like a deathly fear of petty hypocrisy.
@Egg T Pythagoras was apparently right that fava beans are like eating one's parents. Hannibal Lecter ate fava beans and he turned into a cannibal.
@Egg T hello there
Pythagoras's friend: look pi
Pythagoras: SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH
I think it was actually centered around the √2 in particular, but true enough indeed.
@@jaxblonk5127 yes it was √2. because a right angle triangle with sides 1 and 1 will always result in the third side being √2. Pyhtagoras however believed that if you would multiply the sides by an increasingly big whole number eventually all sides would be whole number. Hippasus proved with mathematical reasoning that this was impossible and because Pythagoras entire life was based around the concept of whole numbers he decided to drown him.

... no farting.”

As soon as he said it I changed my mind 180 degrees

Imagine if right before pythagoras died, he heard someone yell: "and after we kill him, let's throw him in the bean field!"
Omg
He would've vibechecked them all.
Is it wrong that I find the story of how he died hilarious.
No

Me: *Sweats in math major*
Tis' a shame most people in philosophy majors are unable to appreciate the amazing beauty and deepness of math.
And so in your opinion is studying math worth it?
@@craftmarne I'm also a math major, yeah if you love math, but I recommend studying it compliment another major.
@@therickestmaverick2713 Like a mix of computer science and math?
Yes Monster, these were my thoughts exactly.
The Pythagorean Theorem, Ptolemy's Theorem and many elements of Euclid's geometry (and Archimedes) are all unavoidable if we practice calculus and beyond. This is only the Greek element of modern math.
Really, a full picture of math history includes the Indian, Muslim, and Renaissance thinkers long after the Greeks... and the Egyptian and Babylonian thinkers long before the Greeks.
It's remarkable how much untaught history there is in math.

Meanwhile, there are crazy, intelligent people living right now who are trying to build cults just like Pythagoras. Look up Randall Carlson. He believes in a lot of superstitious ideas. He uses "sacred mathematics" to "uncover the truth". He's the same crazy and smart as Pythagoras, but alive today.
Take Randall Carlson with a grain of salt... remain skeptical.
Me being an engineer. “Why would anyone dislike Pythagorean’s Theorem”
So your telling me Triangle man made a cult and that words like decadence had there meanings come from the Greek word δέκα for 10.

The Fava bean thing is interesting because I'm allergic to fava beans due to my unique blood type. There's something in those beans that can cause my red bloods to just die and I'd have to get a transfusion.
Guess that means I really am a chosen one.
Next f*ing level. My boy coming thru with the blinking animations
The staying away from beans is called “The Pythagorean Maxim” by the way lol
Hannibal Lecter should have listened.
Ooh he said “data” not “dad” I thought ooh poor kid his dad is begging bought and sold and every day he gets news about his dads whereabouts.
Suddenly I want to watch this with this interpretation 😂
I heard the same thing!
@@MMfish_ yo kid you’re dad got sold to a guy in New York today.
I’m definitely going to ruin my geometry class with this
the funniest part is that he didnt invent the pythagorean theorum, it was theorized by the egyptians, known by the sumerians, and proven by the chinese, who to this day call it the gogou theorum which tbh we should start doing
RIP ridge wallet - You will be missed :(
Lol
Lol
The pythagorean theorum blew my mind when I first learned it. Wish they taught more math history in school because when I first learned of the life of Pythagorus I thought it was so fascinating
I didn't realize he was a nut. That was not in my math classes back in the day.
I’ll bring this up the next time I hear about fava beans or Pythagoreas again
Why did Pythagoras like math so much?

It is when you find your passion or calling in something no matter how forbidding it may seem to outsiders. This is why we are blessed with Philosophers, Physicists, Aestheticians, critics and so on. One needs to contemplate deeply about that particular genius within them to really overachieve and make indelible contributions. It took me very long, unfortunately, to discover my penchant for reading and appreciating literature and classics .
Fava beans contain the compounds vicine and convicine. These chemicals are metabolized to divicine and isouramil, which are potent oxidizing agents. In persons with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, these compounds cause hemolysis by disrupting the red cell wall. I love your videos. Here is just a medical correlation I noticed. Thanks for you work.
my man pythagoras hemolysis got him all paranoid about the fava beans
Tbf most famous philosophers ended up starting cults, some just did it more intentionally than others
True or not, the ending of his life because of the beans does make a good movie.
"Ugh, why didn't he run into the field!? This movie doesn't make any sense!"
I'm gonna tell my math teacher that the Pythagoras theorem is cult propaganda.
I love you, I love Pythagoras, and I love making an excuse to go into work a little later. What a good day full of love, thanks Sisyphus!

your videos are so relaxing and educational! the more i watch, the more i get interested in philosophy
Great video! could you make a video about Mansour Hallaj? His philosophy and poems are chilling and he has such a fascinating story.
I'm just learning about the pythagoreans in philosophy class at school! Very cool I'll never touch beans again
You should really do Stirner next, he’d make such an interesting video.
Yessssss
Keep up the good work I love this channel and all your content
This is probably my favorite video of yours because I knew absolutely nothing about Pythagoras other than the triangle theorem.
MY FAVORITE!!!!! THANK YOUUU
Pythagoreanism was not only incredibly important to the development of western philosophy, but also the western occult tradition. I'm passionate about music and love the Pythagorean notion of the music of the spheres, especially the symbolic use of the heptagram to represent the planets, the musical scales/modes, and the pythagorean belief in their correlation.
Philosophical "cults" were not at all uncommon in ancient Greece and Rome. The distinctions between science, religion, philosophy and the occult were yet to be as sharply delineated as they are today, and many mystery religions and secret societies were formed around a central figure, such as the pythagoreans, stoics and epicureans. Even Plato probably belonged to the mystery religion orphism. And important figures often had fantastical tales spun about them. So while it seems strange from today's standards, Pythagoreanism was just another school.
Hey sisyphus have you considered doing a video on alfred jarry and pataphysics?
Pythagoras loved his man cave
I find it interesting their belief of rebirth and tripartite, these are found in some sects Buddhism as well. Great video!
Yes so happy he finally made one on Pythagoras
Love your content!
The bean restriction is an esoteric reminder to keep the Pythagoreans from spilling the beans about their perennial wisdom
Bruh love your uploads thank you haha

Wow. A Sisyphus video I actually understand.
You should do a video on terry a Davis
Fava beans .. he will be terribly horrified by the Falafel sandwiches.
Remember when Tomar started a cult, preaching to his followers about his hidden treasure of “Tomar emeralds” or some shit? That was really weird. Wonder why he did that.
Damn, didn't expect to see an Oney and Friends fan here
6am in California perfect time to watch a new video
Love you man
Thank you for this. I am a little wiser now than I was 10 minutes ago.

Pythagoras: Quick! Inhale back the life-gasses!
There would be no war, poverty, or inequality without the wretched existence of Fava Beans
Oh you got that VPN money now nice!!!! Grats. Great vid. What a brilliant nut
Damn, wanted Pythagoras for a long time❤️❤️❤️
Pythagoras hated farts so much, he prohibited his cultists to eat beans.
philosophers should never EVER criticize something for being useless

Imagine thinking the pythagorean theorem is useless lmao. *This post was made by STEM gang*
My little brother works for a patio company. His coworkers were trying to figure out how long a slanted beam needed to be. It would connect to one horizontal and one vertical beam (aka it would be the hypotenuse of a right triangle.) they proceeded to lay the vertical and horizontal beams on the ground, and then the tried measuring the distance with a measuring tape. My brother asked them why they won’t just use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the measurements and they were all confused. He calculated the measurements, they wouldn’t believe him, they measured it themselves and it all checked out. They were mind blown, thought he did some sort of magic trick lol

Cultosopher
The Town Croton beat was "rich and decadent" Sybaris. Supposedly, and there's a wild story about how Pythagoras secured the victory for Croton over the cavalry of The Sybarites...
He literally stopped running away from death because of beans.
There are bad ideas, but some ideas are so bad they'll get you killed. This guy should not be passing his soul on to anywhere, those poor bodies.
Pog, Pythagoras time.
Holy shit man..., dude really was crazy. Danm
I am once again asking for a vid on Alfred Jarry
Anyone else think he just forbid certain foods so he wouldn't have gassy students farting up his lectures?
Insane or the greatest pranker the earth has ever seen? Because the stories of his life are f*cking hilarious!
"The philosopher who started a cult"
Well, that didn't narrow the list to much
he was like Terry Davis
I feel like all philosophy is just one big cult
Feel like elaborating? If we're thinking of it in this manner, it would have to at least be a cult with a bunch of different branches.
Please don't start arguing with the philosophers, you will not win against us lol
00:11 did you just assume my boredom bro, that's problematic bro ;)
rip Pythagoras he would have loved the legend of Zelda
those damn fava beans, they're causing all the problems in the world.
Look what they did to Hannibal Lecter! Pythagoras warned it was like eating your parents and Hannibal took that cannibalism reference too literally.
It think the way he died was very fitting. If he was willing to murder a friend because of his own nonsense, then glad to see that nonsense is what ultimately killed him lol
Certainly. But this death sounds to me rather larger-than-life. I mean that period of history is shrouded in mystery. So may be he was not radically out of his senses. You know people who believed in all sorts of nonsense and superstitious religions back then lack the analytical mind to pass on reliable information. The slow decay of Islamic Spain had been interpreted to have begun when Al Hakam II, the philosopher Caliph of Cordoba, told himself that his concubine could pass for a boy, for he was convinced as a homosexual to sire his successor by breeding a pretty girl in the attire and with the resemblance of boys.
@@theenlightenedarab8081 fair point. IF this is true then its poetic lol
@@charmygreen665 I mean could Alhakam really have stooped to such stupendous stupidity? Those antique historians are just writing literature, or as you said, laboring poetically. I might do a video about what had happened after the death of Alhakam and how the civil war spelt the destruction of muslim Spain when Reconquista gathered pace. It's interesting that philosophy was sacrificed to the orthodox by the powerful throne regent for the perpetuation of a political system which did not survive the subsequent turmoil. Have a nice day!
Sounds like a crazy man that did discover at least one amazing thing. I wonder if this is a case of "stay in your own lane". Someone is known for doing something and all the sudden they think they have the answers to other things.
Numbers are behind the entire universe !!
