Beauty is held in the eyes of the beholder. 🤔
Greatest of all time

Amazing article...😮😮😮😮thank you ❤

His representation here looks a lot like Rick Rubin, who is also pretty wise

To ponder is to consider, to think is to process, to learn is to become enlightened. To become aware, is to become empowered.
That is the truth of metaphysics.
Forever the best!
the Allegory of the Cave serves as a powerful metaphor for the human condition, highlighting the importance of critical thinking, self-reflection, and the pursuit of knowledge to break free from the constraints of ignorance and perceive the world in its true form.

I was just thinking about it today about how everybody wants to be the big strong guy or smartest guy something of that nature but I guess I've always admired people that are the old wise characters in a story. Because they seem to know a lot more than what we think. Intelligence is different from wisdom, wisdom you have to gain through experience versus intelligence which is a set of rules and already existing information.
Wisdom comes with aging and the ability to shut up, listen and observe
I totally agree with you 😊👌☑️
He knew nothing to fool us 😂

it is better to be just, than unjust, because, a society bent on justice, assumes two things; the individual takes responsibility first, and society takes responsibility, after the individual falters.
what this means with a micro-scope, is that our actions are never for the purpose of ourselves, alone. to do so, is unjust or unfair. but, to coordinate our actions in sync with society, is the most just-action possible.
Honest question, do you believe in what Socraes says or at least upholds that his philsophy, cocnerned with alignment with the truth and separation from lies, is a good philosophy?
So he is just being correct
Was Socrates the world first philosopher?
No that would he thales
Aristotle was his second student not just a great philosopher
Aristotle was actually Plato's student
@@wildmen5025 no actually he was Socrates's student
@@2prider451 Socrates was executed in 399 BC. Aristotle was born in 384 BC...15 years after Socrates died.
@@2prider451 Prove it. Prove that Socrates and Aristotle knew each other personally. I'm so eager to hear what you have to say.
@@2prider451it’s not too late to delete
[Bill and Ted are in Ancient Greece]
Bill: [approaching Socrates] How's it going? I'm Bill, this is Ted. We're from the future.
Socrates: Socrates.
Ted: [whispering to Bill] Now what?
Bill: I dunno. Philosophize with him!
Ted: [clears his throat, to Socrates] "All we are is dust in the wind," dude.
[Socrates gives them a blank stare]
Bill: [scoops up a pile of dust from the basin before them and lets it run out of his hand] Dust.
[he blows the remainder away]
Bill: Wind.
Ted: [points at Socrates] Dude.
Socrates: [Socrates gasps] Yes! "Like the sands of the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives..."
Well now I gotta find this & watch it AGAIN 😆🥰
@@Nibiru3600X The first (and best) Bill & Ted movie is perhaps the best "shut-off the higher functions to the brain and just enjoy it" movie ever made. Second only to Blazing Saddles as the most fun I've ever had watching a flick.
Wonder who would have the sharpest tongue: Diogenes or Socrates. .
Diogenes was actually inspired by Socrates and was angry at Plato because he felt he overcomplicated Socrates' teachings
@@wildmen5025 I heard of how Diogenes made a mockery of some of Plato's perspective on things.
@@bohemianwriter1 Yes. He wasn't the biggest fan of Plato. Or of most people really.
@@wildmen5025 If Diogenes was a fan of anyone, it must be himself.
Like he stated to Alexander the "Great" before the latter went to conquer half the world.
"If I was Alexander, I'd wish I was Diogenes too".
@@bohemianwriter1 Why put great in quotations? No love for the Son of Zeus-Ammon?
"Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Socrates the Know-Nothing?" -Plato to Aristotle, at the theatre
Demon comes from Daimon which is a spirit guide. Its a intermediary entity that works with humans in relation to the gods and nature. Sadly christianity has warped everything from its actual meaning into something ridiculous.
Greek John snow 😂
He was the original Taoist.
I think he's too cerebral and attached to logical thinking to be able to appreciate Taoism. The first verse of the Daodejing alone would utterly stymie him. Can you imagine him trying to get Lao zi or Zhuangzi to pin down an exact definition of the Tao?
@@silverchairsgI think he'd get it. It's really the same stuff but in a different aesthetic.
