Man this is such a great distillation of two of the most enigmatic figures of ancient Greek philosophy! It took me two videos and 26 minutes total to cover Heraclitus and Parmenides, but your video is a perfect summary!
@Lord Vader There's no way of answering this to any acceptable depth here in a comment, and I'm planning on making a video on Epicureanism and one on Stoicism this summer, so check those out for more details, but in short: There is a lot of overlap in the way both of these theories see the world, and they are both much more than their central/most popular tenets, which are admittedly antithetical. But embracing the paradox of opposites being true at the same time is a key Heraclitean attitude, so I went with it :)
@@michaelmcclure3383 ofc he didn't "invent" it, that was a joke hahaha the truth is the same, so of course people in different places and times will find it again and again
Yo but the becoming logic is straight up fire. I mean the other guy says shit about what exists and what is, but at the end of the day it all BECAME In supernovae through the eons. I stand with poo-pile dog-mauled bro on this one
I think they’re both right, but they’re just pointing to different things. The forms which matter take are always in a state of change and becoming. But the matter itself, all the matter that is in the universe has always existed. The universe is in a constant state of being, but the forms it takes constantly change and evolve.
@@joshuatendoornkaat8558 fact is that for Parmenides, that would not be change either, in fact, for something that exists to change, means it there something it can change INTO. If something that exists changes into something else, there is something different to existence, which is non-existence, which has already been proven not to exist. So everything exists in the same way, has always been and will always be just the same, existence.
@@ThusSpokeHaven art major here. couldn't have done it better Cody do you think of doing videos about You? (Like those lifestyle youtubers? Vlog thingy) I'm not asking you to "be mainstream" or anything. I'm genuinely interested to see... like how you carry yourself daily And yes I do wonder if you do lifestyle, simple, easy to consume videos, how it gonna turn out? You do seem to have it all to attract views
Hey, I might try it if these videos don't gain any traction or maybe just for fun sometime, but I work during the day, so a vlog would be quite boring. If I can start making money off this channel and do it full time, then definitely I'll make some videos that share a little more about my life.
The Presocratics have better one-liners than Henny Youngman. Take my philosophy, please! [BA-BOOM!] Neither is there more Being here or less Being there but it is all together. [Parmenides] You can and cannot step into the same river twice. [Heraclitus] Wretches, utter wretches, keep your hands off beans! [Empedocles, rumored to be the inspiration of "Blazing Saddles"] A woman must not practice argument: this is dreadful! [Democritus Of Abdura] Everything is water, with just a hint of Jack Daniels.

Keep it up. This channel is going to be big
The positive comments help, thank you 🙏
Unless, of course, there is no change...
This some good stuff excited to see you grow
Parmenides straight up inventing advaita vedanta by himself in Italy like a true chad.

Thanks dude, this videos are helping me a lot on my philosophy thing going on lately.
I’ll try and make it all the way through modernity for the both of us
Love your style

very informative and funny! Keep it up.
Nice video bro
Nice video
I just like your voice so much.
And you did all the animations yourself?
Yeah, it’s just a calming thing to do in my free time, put on an audiobook and make stupid little vector drawings.

Heraclitus and Empedocles are my favorite pre-Socratics.
