No this is Immanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable. Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table. David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel. And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist, Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed. John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away, Half a crate of whiskey every day. Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, And Hobbes was fond of his dram. And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink, therefore I am." Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed, A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.
This is literally the only thing that x0.5 speed is good for. 0.25 is for catching single frames and activating horror mode, 0.75 is for watching it slightly slower than you should, 1 is normal, 2 is for theodd1sout, and all the others are there for the sake of being there.
Nietzsche's point was that before his time religion played a major role in how Humanity viewed the universe and our place in it. It gave us comfort and structure. Around Nietzsche's time it was obvious that so many stories in ancient texts are silly and don't align with reality, that you can't take them seriously anymore. Therefore we will need some ethical system that's not "because the God says so", otherwise we will drown in nihilism.
Every time you two interact, I'm reminded of what true friendship is. Blue poking fun at Red for 3 minutes in honestly more compelling and convincing a relationship than anything I've ever seen in anime ever.

This was beyond gorgeous. 10/10 Also as a music major, I can confirm that patter songs are, indeed, not terribly melodic and are difficult to pull off with any remote grace and/or charm. You're too busy praying to every god you've ever thought of that you don't screw up the words :P
It sort of depends on which one. "Love, Unrequited, Robs me of my Rest" (i.e. "The Nightmare song") CAN be a nightmare to sing. "My Name is John Wellington Wells" is pretty hard as well. "My Eyes Are Fully Open" is a bit easier (though, of course, there, you have to work out how to get THREE people syncopating at the same time." For a lot of the others, I have some trouble figuring out which the patter song is. In The Gondoliers is it the Duke's song, Rising Early in the Morning, or the Grand Inquisitors song? "I've got a little list is slow enough it isn't all that hard so long as long as you think ahead as to what you are going to rhyme.)
As a Brit, well-versed (as a listener!) to the musicals/opera/operettas/choose your definition! of Gilbert & Sullivan - and as a Philosophy undergraduate - I must congratulate both the writer(s) and performer of this alternative version! It really echoes the spirit of the original - G&S themselves would have approved, I'm sure.
Can we all just appreciate how brilliant Red is? She does Mythology and Trope talk videos, draws simply yet brilliantly, writes songs (and sings them) like a badass, AND has created her own fantasy webcomic with lore!
I just want to remind everyone that in addition to her many artistic talents Red also has a math degree,*jokingly* you know just got to really drive the point home for anyone who thought they were being productive with their life.
This is procrastination at its finest: Red and Blue support this channel when not working on their studies And Red does this song instead of Journey to The West. But seriously Red, where's part 5?
After subscribing to you guys, this is the video that kept being recommended to me the most and I kept putting off watching it for some reason BOY AM I GLAD I FINALLY WATCHED THISSS
as someone who dated, read for, and later married, a blind philosophy major, I can totally concur! I've read way too many grumpy ancient dudes who thought too much
Was looking to see if you guys had already covered the allegory of Plato’s cave, and I rediscovered this little gem. Really holds up 6 years later. Already a classic! 🥁
I had no idea this gem existed on your channel, but I am now going to memorize it so I can finally keep track of all those ancient grumpy dudes for school.
"HOLY MOLY THERE ARE FIVE THOUSAND OF YOU" brought a smile to my face as I (re)watch this after the 10 year anniversary of the channel, with its subscriber count over 400 times greater, and this video alone inching towards 600,000 views. Again, congrats and thanks forever Red and Blue and the whole team.
I absolutely love it when this song's lyrics are rewritten into different subjects. I once heard a cosplayer re sight her version as "A modern metal alchemist".
I've always loved sarcastic productions channel but this was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. As someone who has a musical theater degree, sat through countless hours of useless philosophy classes, and once had to memorize and perform that f****** song.... Red is completely right!
I have seen nothing else of your channel and this was six years ago. And I was looking for Monty Python. But this was surprisingly good for a random find for me. Thank you for putting such work into it.

Max Weber: Remember, kids, hard work leads to capitalism. Friedrich Nietzsche: God is dead and we killed him./(God: quit telling everyone I’m dead!)/Sometimes I can still hear his voice. Rene Descartes: No, but why does everybody call me a philosopher? I did so much math. Confucius: Apparently, “stating the obvious” is now grounds for deification.

This was the video that first brought me to your chanel. I was looking for the Monty Python Philosopher Song, but frankly, yours is better. I’m sure the algorithm would have suggested you to me by now even if I hadn’t come across this one, but I’m still glad a found you. Congratulations on 10 years, and keep it up!
I know some of the lyrics of 'model of a modern major general' and i kid you not, this made me remember more of the lyrics by trying to sing along side THIS version
I've been playing this on repeat for the last half hour trying to memorize it. It's so difficult Red HOW did you do it??? Either way I am determined to get it eventually. Amazing work 💜
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO YOU GUYS! You guys deserve so many more than 5000 subs! I remember when you guys just made the Dantes Inferno video, you've both come so far! 😊 Can't want for journey to the west part 3.
3:00 Ok either Blue is huge here or Red is tiny, is that how they're supposed to be?.....I'm analyzing the heights of satirical Chibis, what the heck am I doing?
2:20 - "No no, see, this song, it's not suppose to be sung perfectly, you're suppose to be a little, kinda, all over the place, like, that's part of it's charm." Like many philosophers, a little all over the place, with many contradictions and fallacies.
Having just finished a class where I had to read a bunch of different philosophers the animations are hilarious. Kant in particular is painfully accurate.
I think that picture of Rousseau is my favorite portrait of anyone ever. He just looks so sweet and fatherly in it. Something about the kind smile. Also, while we have Descartes to thank for Cartesian plots, he was a logician, and logic is considered philosophy. He and Francis Bacon also rooted the fundamental logic behind the scientific method in epistemology and rationalism, therefore, he’s a philosopher. Plus, back in his time, he would have been called a “natural philosopher.”
Wait, given the chaotic rhythm of the song and how it keeps going everywhere could Red & Blue's conversation at the end there be considered part of the song?
Interested to hear what madness they do for 2M subs, especially considering their count is 362 times higher now than it was just a couple short years ago.
"I've read the words of countless ancient grumpy dudes who thought too much!" Thats how I feel with pretty much all philosophy.... yet I still love it... fml
For those of you who are curious, this is the Major General song from Gilbert & Sullivan’s 1879 operetta “The Pirates of Penzance” It’s basically a Victorian rap song

Max Weber: Remember, kids, hard work leads to capitalism.
Friedrich Nietzsche: God is dead and we killed him./(God: quit telling everyone I’m dead!)/Sometimes I can still hear his voice.
Rene Descartes: No, but why does everybody call me a philosopher? I did so much math.
Confucius: Apparently, “stating the obvious” is now grounds for deification.
Laozi: Apparently “being the chillest dude” is now grounds for deification.
+Olivia M Thank You, you're doing god's work
+Olivia M Thank you!
The lyrics are so spot on. Well done Red.
I just love the how perfect this channel was from the beginning.
Congrats on 1.2 Million subs.
I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel
As a vocalist and a music theater nerd, I have to say you did an amazing job, Red!!!
*claps loudly*
It's amazing to think you had 5k subs when you made this and now seven years later it is standing the test of time and you have 2.15 million subs.
Awww
"Can't you use a song that you can, you know, sing?"
"Shut Up!"
-Couple Goals-
**Ahem**
_Friend Goals_
FireriderAX aaaaaaaw~! I really wished they were a couple tho! They're so cute! Let me edit my comment then
_That_ is something everyone should definitely stay out of. Personal life stuff is none of our business, forget about relationship stuff.
Dragon Power How did you put that line in?
Best platonic couple ever
They’re siblings i thought XD
This was the video that first brought me to your chanel. I was looking for the Monty Python Philosopher Song, but frankly, yours is better. I’m sure the algorithm would have suggested you to me by now even if I hadn’t come across this one, but I’m still glad a found you. Congratulations on 10 years, and keep it up!
Random person: What's your favourite song?
Me: *laughing nervously* It's complicated
Fun to come back to this. Happy 2 Million!
Pure longitudinal joy to perceive this excellently performed, accurately composed, and amazingly arranged lovely ditty
"Technically, I'm supposed to be doing my homework" I literally clicked out of my essay that is due at midnight to watch this 😂😂😂
This may be my #1 favorite channel.
Showed this to my philosophy professor. He thought it was hilarious. Love this song!
Good to rewatch anytime
I know some of the lyrics of 'model of a modern major general' and i kid you not, this made me remember more of the lyrics by trying to sing along side THIS version
I would buy a whole album from you, Red! Seriously!
Already memorized 1st and 3rd stanzas of "Major-General's Song"; now time to devote a month of my life to this song as well.
I've been playing this on repeat for the last half hour trying to memorize it. It's so difficult Red HOW did you do it??? Either way I am determined to get it eventually. Amazing work 💜
“HOLY MOLY THERE ARE FIVE THOUSAND OF YOU” oh how the time flies
Red, do your homework... >.< Or at least work on the Origin Stories that I sent you last semester! :P
Also, you should've made yourself Natsu-Flame up at the end
+Overly Sarcastic Productions Did you at least eat food?
+Overly Sarcastic Productions Ramen and stupid amount of frosting does not constitute as real food :P
+Sarah Hecht I have a feeling Red also forgot to take a shower.
This is the best set of commentd ever.
the is the BEST summary of philosophy I've ever come across, you are wonderful
Philosophy and Gilbert and Sullivan? I dig. Also, are you guys currently in college? If so, how do you find the time to make these videos?
Having no lives, probably
there are advantages to hiding yourself from society.
1: you dont have to deal with people
2: number one summed it up
Ella Martin :D
Ella Martin I like the way you think.
Ti My well, Red is asexual, which does certainly free up time.
it's amazing how far they came
5k special vs now when they're nearing 2 million
my goodness congratulations
You know it's a glorious moment when Blue's the one trolling Red
The moment I heard the opening notes, I knew I was on for a good time, may the model major general be with you.
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO YOU GUYS! You guys deserve so many more than 5000 subs! I remember when you guys just made the Dantes Inferno video, you've both come so far! 😊 Can't want for journey to the west part 3.
Outstanding! Thank you, Red!
3:00 Ok either Blue is huge here or Red is tiny, is that how they're supposed to be?.....I'm analyzing the heights of satirical Chibis, what the heck am I doing?
How have I missed this 💎 in the 4 years I’ve be a subscriber 😍😍😍😍
2:20 - "No no, see, this song, it's not suppose to be sung perfectly, you're suppose to be a little, kinda, all over the place, like, that's part of it's charm." Like many philosophers, a little all over the place, with many contradictions and fallacies.
Visiting this again at 1.45m subs is amazing.
3:10 "Hey Blue, want more of my amontillado?" --red (probably)
Having just finished a class where I had to read a bunch of different philosophers the animations are hilarious. Kant in particular is painfully accurate.
Description: HOLY MOLY THERE ARE FIVE THOUSAND OF YOU!

Subscriber count: 1 Million
Over 1,5 million now!
I think that picture of Rousseau is my favorite portrait of anyone ever. He just looks so sweet and fatherly in it. Something about the kind smile.
Also, while we have Descartes to thank for Cartesian plots, he was a logician, and logic is considered philosophy. He and Francis Bacon also rooted the fundamental logic behind the scientific method in epistemology and rationalism, therefore, he’s a philosopher.
Plus, back in his time, he would have been called a “natural philosopher.”
Wait, given the chaotic rhythm of the song and how it keeps going everywhere could Red & Blue's conversation at the end there be considered part of the song?
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR-GENERAL!
this made me shed a manly tear...
Oh, dry the glistening tear (that dews that martial cheek)
5k? HOW ABOUT 62k!!!
How about 105k
Lizzy Coy we got 122K
Molly Butler how about 58526982688889988521235558864774112211004554000880085877412k
Mmmk.

Ancient grumpy dudes who thought too much is the best way of describing them
This is beauty.
And this was 5k subs? Damn. You've come a long way.
i started watching in 2015 and it’s so fun to go back and watch videos that i loved so much!
I'm so damn proud of this channel for growing so fast
As a former college student, I salute you, as you have reminded me of days gone being locked in class with WAY too many dudes who thought too much.
Interested to hear what madness they do for 2M subs, especially considering their count is 362 times higher now than it was just a couple short years ago.
Every now and then I come back to watch this.
"I've read the words of countless ancient grumpy dudes who thought too much!"
Thats how I feel with pretty much all philosophy.... yet I still love it... fml
This is excellent!
Why hasn't UA-cam recommended it to me before?
Any one else comeback to visit this after they reached a million?
Yep!
Yo!
youtube recommended rly said show the 5k special but only after they hit 1.5 MILLION
Thankfully you didn't even mention Freud
It's kind of inspiring to watch this video from three years ago when you were celebrating 5k subscribers and now have 929k. Go Red and Blue :D
2:43 I though history never repeats because starting position and...butterflys.
Why isn't this on UA-cam music??? It really deserves to be there.
For those of you who are curious, this is the Major General song from Gilbert & Sullivan’s 1879 operetta “The Pirates of Penzance”
It’s basically a Victorian rap song
I've read the words of countless ancient grumpy dudes who thought too much
"I've read the words of countless ancient grumpy dudes who thought too much"
Bruh that's *d e e p*
Simply superb!
