- In this video we will be talking about how to master self-discipline from the philosophy of Plato. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, and has remained very popular the entire time.
So with that in mind, here are 3 ways to master self-discipline from the philosophy of Plato -
01. Practice the art of measurement
02. Don't be a victim
03. Actively seek knowledge
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 3 ways on mastering self-discipline from Plato will add value to your life.
Plato is one of the most famous philosophers of all time. He represented the philosophy of ancient Greece, belonging to its Classical Period. He was born into an aristocratic and influential family in Athens, where he founded the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the entire Western world. Along with his mentor Socrates, and his student Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential individuals in the entire history of humankind. It can even be said that he is one of the pillars of Western civilization. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, which asserts that the physical world is not the real world. Instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world, in the world of ideas. Plato was not only a prominent figure of philosophy, but also of religion and spirituality; so-called Neo-platonism deeply influenced Christian theology. Plato invented the written dialogue and dialectic form of philosophy. Some of his most famous books are The Republic, The Symposium, The Apology of Socrates, Allegory of the Cave and The Dialogues of Plato, in which the main character is Socrates, who influenced Plato’s philosophy to a great extent. His entire work has survived for more than 2,400 years and has remained very popular the entire time. Like his mentor, Plato was a practical philosopher and there are many life lessons to learn from his philosophy.

Extremely Important Existential Pertinent Apparent Fact:
EF AEAD SE
Eternal Future, All Earthlings Are Dead, Sorry Earthlings.
SMART PEOPLE AND/OR AI'S NEEDED:
Consider the following: UNLESS the following Impossible Mission is successfully accomplished, our very life and existence does not ultimately matter:
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: (Or so it currently appears): For those who have the mental and physical resources to help (including AI's):
Try to save at least 1 single species on and from this Earth to exist beyond this Earth, solar system and most probably collapsing spiral shaped galaxy into a universe that never ends in a big freeze (the singular big bang theory is a fairy tale for various reasons) or by some other means so that life itself on and from this Earth has continued meaning and purpose to potentially throughout all of future eternity. (Otherwise, all life on and from this Earth, real and artificial, eventually dies and goes extinct, is ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things, and are all a waste of spacetime in this universal existence.)
* Mission Impossible of the Highest Order: MIHO.
* Nature is our greatest ally in so far as Nature gives us life and a place to live it, AND Nature is also our greatest enemy that is going to take it all away. (Can we change the ending?)
Above due to:
EXISTENTIAL PHYSICS: Current Analysis:
(subject to revision as new information might dictate):
WARNING: NOT FOR ALL AUDIENCES: Only read this if you think you can handle it.
Future:
a. 6th mass extinction event (possibly occurring now), and the 6th won't be the last. (And 'yes', at least some humans will survive these earlier mass extinction events).
b. Sun becomes a red giant one day as it switches from burning hydrogen to burning helium and will wipe out all life left on this Earth if not even the entire Earth itself. (And 'yes', a long time from now, but the destination is set like a way point on a journey).
c. Our spiral shaped galaxy is most probably collapsing in upon itself, (note: adding to the red shift observations by the way), and it's possible ALL galaxies eventually collapse in upon themselves (not confirmed yet). But consider: Huge nebula cloud -> Condenses down into a galaxy -> Which at times becomes flat -> Which at times becomes spiral shaped. (In other words, it appears that at least some galaxies collapse in on themselves as they get smaller and smaller).
d. 'If' one believes in the big bang theory, and space itself expanding, then the entire universe and all in it will most probably end in a big freeze. (And 'yes', a long time from now, but the destination would be set like a way point on a journey). Note also: the singular big bang is probably not really true, there are other 'normal' explanations for the red shift observations, and the universe is most probably not going to end in a big freeze. Also, 'if' the current forces of nature came into existence in the early moments of the expansion of the singularity, and the singularity is still basically expanding, then the forces of nature will probably evolve one day, possibly even in the very next moment of expansion of this universe, and possibly wipe out everything in existence in basically a blink of an eye. Of which note also, the forces of nature as well as the universe always existed and never had a beginning. But 'if' modern science is correct, well ....................................blink...........................................
e. Outer space travel: Currently impossible to do for long periods of time due to:
1. Harmful cosmic radiation, including any potential neutrino impacts. (While most neutrinos go right through us, not all of them do all of the time). AI and biological life would most probably not survive unless proper protections were had.
2. Biological species, especially humans, need proper gravity conditions and large rotating space ships probably will not work for space bases on planets and moons. Otherwise, biological life, especially humans, will not survive long term.
3. Biological species, especially humans, need many more items to properly survive, otherwise they won't.
* Note: If anybody has any actual factual evidence to counter the above, I welcome it.
** HAVE A NICE DAY IF THAT IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE, WHILE WE HAVE DAYS LEFT THAT WE CAN ENJOY. FOR EVERY MOMENT THAT PASSES, ONE LESS MOMENT BEING ALIVE AND ONE MOMENT CLOSER TO BEING NOT ALIVE.
LIFE ITSELF, LOVE AND MONEY
There is something greater than Love and that is life itself.
For without life itself, there can be no Love.
There is something greater than Money and that is life itself.
For without life itself, Money loses all meaning and purpose.
The story is very good and profound
Very good channel, very interesting and meaningful stories attract me to listen often. I'm Vietnamese and have a channel with the same topic, but I only listen to Vietnamese people.
The bit about knowledge shaping our choices is great. It's not just about controlling what we do, but also getting why we do it.
Plato: "The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself."
According to Plato, self-discipline isn't just about external achievements; it's about the internal struggle and triumph over our baser instincts, leading to personal growth and wisdom.
Thanks for this one, really needed😊
Interesting, I like the analogy.
The story is very good and profound
I can’t be more disciplined given my circumstances. Do the best with what’s in front of you. All I can do aways.
REALITY AND EXPERIENCES: Whatever 'reality' truly is, it manifests itself in the 'experiences' experienced. But by gaining knowledge, understanding and wisdom in actual reality, 'better' applications can be applied that to others might seem magical or even miracle. But it would just be 'better' use of actual reality.
Be careful about making excuses
Awesome video and narrating ❤❤
Hi hi hi thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just wow
Alot of will power to click on this video alone⚔️
Cool
thank you for your philosophical video! I have never missed your video and do you have any PDF of your philosophy if yes can you help me with that?
🔥🔥🔥
The practical info comes after the first 3 mins
It sounds like he was describing the interplay of the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex.
👍👍👌👌👌🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍💖💖

Eternally existent energy is the base to all of reality. In fact, one could say nothing at all exists except for eternally existent energy existing as all things. Endothermic, Exothermic, Stable reactions.
No,,I did that my whole life,,now I don't want to,,,master yourself
