Sacred Knowledge: A Conversation with Dr. Bill Richards
This week I had the incredible opportunity to interview one of my all time heroes, Dr. Bill Richards. A clinical psychologist with decades of experience in the field of psychedelic research, Dr. Richards was not only a pioneer during the first wave of psychedelic research in the 1960s, he was also a key figure in launching the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research, which has gone on to become the leading psychedelic research institution in the U.S and is widely considered to have sparked the renewed interest in psychedelic research around the world.

The Cynic Philosophers: Diogenes to Jesus
มุมมอง 6K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Unless you've been living in a jar, you've probably heard of the famously eccentric philosopher Diogenes, one of the founders of the Cynical school of philosophy. He took the teachings of Socrates to the absolute extreme, living like a dog which has neither possessions nor any intention to follow social norms. But he was not the first philosopher to champion the Cynic lifestyle, and certainly n...
The Evolution of the Afterlife: Orphism to Christianity
มุมมอง 4.8K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
What happens after we die? It's one of humanity's oldest questions, and one we may never answer, but of course that didn't stop ancient cultures from imagining what may be waiting for us on the other side. Ancient Greek myths around the afterlife have proven to be highly influential on the imagination of Christian Europe, and scholars throughout history have traced Christian ideas about the sou...
Soul Dualism: Ancient Theories of Soul

The idea of a soul, or an immaterial spiritual essence at the core of every person, is one of the central ideas of many world religions and systems of philosophy. This video explores how different ancient cultures thought about the soul, and how ideas about the soul developed overtime and how they still influence modern society. ko-fi.com/nothingnew Check out this video for a more in-depth disc...
Gorgias the "Nihilist": Paradox & Persuasion
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Scholars of Ancient Greece consider the Sophist, Gorgias of Leontini, to be one of the most innovative orators of his time. He gained great wealth and fame as a teacher of rhetoric, and made many innovations in the field, like using paradox in his arguments and generally contributing to the spread of the Attic Greek dialect. This video explores not just his persuasive skills, but also how his i...
Epicureanism: It's Not Just Hedonism!
มุมมอง 3.5Kปีที่แล้ว
Epicurus is one of the most maligned and misunderstood philosophers in Western culture, and for most of history Epicureanism was just another word for Hedonism. But when we actually look at his thought, we'll see that while he was certainly revolutionary for the time, he's a lot more reasonable than he gets made out to be. We'll explore the wisdom of his ethics, his avant-garde atomism, and why...
Cleisthenes: Father of Democracy
มุมมอง 3.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Cleisthenes, known as the "father of democracy," was one of the greatest lawgivers to reform the constitution of ancient Athens. By increasing the power of the assembly, and radically reorganizing the political structure to reduce the influence of the old noble families, he firmly established democracy in Athens. But before he could reform Athens, he had to defeat not just political rivals, but...
Pisistratus: Tyranny In Athens
มุมมอง 2.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Pisistratus, along with his sons Hippias and Hipparchus, ruled as some of the earliest Tyrants in Athenian history, but surprisingly they enjoyed a fairly good reputation. In fact, some ancient writers considered the period to be a golden age, since culture and literature was patronized, but as we'll see this may have been a populist PR stunt more than anything. Either way, this was the beginni...
Justice or Freedom?: Socrates in Prison (Plato's Crito)
มุมมอง 2.8Kปีที่แล้ว
Plato's dialogue the Crito depicts one of the final days in the life of Socrates, when his rich friend Crito attempted to help Socrates escape from prison. Amazingly, instead of going along with this plan, Socrates takes on a personification of the Laws of Athens and argues for why he should allow himself to be executed. By doing so, he gives us one of the earliest expressions of a social contr...
Debt-Slavery to Democracy: The Reforms of Solon
มุมมอง 3.2Kปีที่แล้ว
Solon is the most legendary lawgiver of ancient Athens, and the wisdom of his reforms would earn him a spot as one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He famously ended the inhumane practice of debt-slavery, and liberated those who had lost their freedom, along with cancelling debts and restoring lost property. But the most vivid portrait of his wisdom comes from Herodotus, and the story he tells of ...

    I think you should read the second part of Tantra Vidya by Oscar Hinze. He analyzes the second part of On Nature in light of Vedantic monism which characterizes the world of appearances not as false, but rather merely a lesser level of truth.

    Thx for sharing. The humannity owes too much to ancient Greece and Solon. 200 years after his reforms in Athens, the kingdom of Qin in ancient China made reforms(商鞅变法). But instead of making it democratic and granting more freedoms to its people, the reforms put more straitjackets on the people. The people's sole purpose was working the land and fighting in wars! And the rules were very specific, if you broke a rule, the punishment was brutal. And the families and neighbors would be punished as well. Western democracy vs eastern autocracy!

      It may make us uncomfortable today, but pederasty was a common and socially accepted practice in ancient Greece: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty_in_ancient_Greece While there was a decent age gap in these relationships, "young boys" in this case means teenager, as the average age of an Eronemos was around 14-18. This should not surprise us considering the fact that girls were also traditionally married off around the age of 14-16.

    Thats true, Advaita Vedanta also says nothing is.. or no thing has any existence of its own. There is therefore no independently existing world, just an appearance in consciousness. All is only Brahman and thou art that. Schopenhauer resolved this Kantian unknowabilty of the thing is itself by simply pointing to its non objective nature as Will.. or Self. Hume couldn't find any objective self in any of his experience, that's because the Self is not itself an object of knowledge, but the subject itself and that is known actually, but not in the same way one knows an apple... this is clearly extrapolated in the Vedantic discrimination between the seer and the seen (Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka). Regarding the silly ongoing debate ahout Parmenides and Heraclitus. I think a Vedantic metaphor makes it clear, that of the ocean and the waves, currents and so on. In the ocean everything is in constant flux and no wave has any independent existence, but isn't it all just water and nothing else... just like the One.. or as Vedanta might say..one without a second. Hence, even though appearances seem to be in constant flux, nothing of the fundamental nature of being ever changes.
