Sir one of the rare things makes me happy and euphoric these days is to check up on your channel and watch how beautiful one can put intertwined thoughts in a simple form.
You are very kind to say that--it has been an unexpected source of satisfaction that these lecture videos which I posted merely for my online students have attracted a small but global audience of appreciative people. Thank you. Peace.
Need more educators like you! I figured math out only after completing chemistry and extrapolating my own correlations to come to the same conclusions of how to understand and enjoy math. CHEERS!
Most teachers are weak individuals who abuse others not of their ilk. This teacher though is a God amongst fools. He is the true teacher... he is the gifted and loving person who cares for the minds of learners. A great human being. So simple, so ease... It’s called seeing things from others points of views and amending ones self until the other can share in thy knowledge. Profound sales people do this. They are kind, sweet and helpful. Great caregivers, great communicators, great healers, great animal trainers... It’s like dancing to music. Help a person catch it and they can grow...
Amazing how you bring "everything " into focus! I realize now that perception is an illusion forged when consciousness rationalized harmony and discord...
Your an amazing teacher. I think if I would have had teachers like you I wouldn't have dropped out of school. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. Thank you for your efforts.
I was lucky in having a great math teacher in 8th grade, Mrs. Booth, who taught us to actually think about what math was describing, not just memorize formulas and procedures.
Great lecture. Harmony and dissonance resonate with our EMOTIONS. They were trying to objectify EMOTIONS, something we are still in the dark about today. The rational and the irrational, order and chaos, light and darkness, good and evil, one must presuppose its anteposition. Nor can one exist without the other. One is agreeable, the other disagreeable. WHAT TO DO?
Hi Professor Brooks, Im a student at FIU and boy do I wish I was able to take any of your classes. I just wanted to say thank you for posting your lectures. I enjoy and gain even more curiosity about the world and the nature of truth. Im an English Major but I’ve always linked my interest in literature back to my fascination in philosophy, theology, and psychology. Thank you again!!!
Thanks, I've recently done a polished lecture in a green screen room with special effects on the history of the number 7 which shows up towards the end of the Pythagoras lecture. You might enjoy it: th-cam.com/video/cS3j7u6Vuo0/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant stuff! As someone who has always been very poor at mathematics (perhaps due to the dictatorial nature of how it was taught) and very much anti music theory (and still am on the basis that theory is just the explanation, not the method) I found this thoroughly engaging and informative. I've always been a massive fan of Pythagoras and the later philosophical/spiritual schools like the Neoplatonists. It's great to see and hear someone describing things in the manner which they may have been done back in Ancient Greece before abolition of true education and the introduction of indoctrination, memorisation and recital. Cheers from the UK!
I actually learned a lot of this FROM my math books in school. A lot of chapters begin with little biographical blurbs about the mathematician or the problem that prompted the solution that the chapter is about. Most students skimmed right past those parts...I found them fascinating.
Just done with this one and off to your nature philosophy class now, this is tremendously interesting, as someone who likes to study songwriting this is perfect. I believe these ratios are also what define music that is instantly liked by people, as opposed to your common "bad song", I\m doing research to see what comes up because if we could define what it is that makes us, for instance, listen again and again to the same song and learn it, it could be applied to other things, if you could somehow generate that kind of drive in the brain.
So glad you liked it and are finding it useful. There is some follow-up to the music aspect in my most recently uploaded video on the #7 and its mystical allure. It is also my first video in front of a green-screen with production values and special effects added.
Pythagoras, or, Buddhacharyas, is probably the eye doctor Herodotus says Amasis sent to Cambyses ( Budd Kambojas) The PYTHagorean theorem is said to appear with the priests of PTAH and the sutras of BUDHAyana
thank you , i am hooked!! i loved maths but my teachers were useless never tried to make us understand anything and just to memorise it which i cant NOT everyone can memorise things the same way. thanks onve again x btw there is jump at 28:44...not sure what happened there missed that part?
To any Music Theory majors:now you're ready to try wrapping your mind around the Pythagorean Comma. It leads to why J.S.Bach was compelled to compose the 48 Preludes and Fugues of The Well Tempered Clavier and why we have 12 semitones per octave. Also,I strongly suspect that Pythagoras,the father of Western music,may well have derived key concepts from India,by way of the Persian Empire,which connected the two cultures of Greece and India before Alexander. By the way, Arabic numerals originally were derived from..India!
HI George off topic (love your lectures)... But During the time period of the Trojan war...what were the epic stories of times past being told of that time? Are there any known references? Do you know of anything I can read about? Cheers
That is an interesting question. I asked a colleague of mine who is a specialist in Classical Greece (I'm a medievalist) and he confirmed what I suspected, which is that we know very little about the Mycenaeans before the late Bronze Age when they came into the Mediterranean world and had their adventures which became the folklore of the later Greeks. The only two approaches are to mine the echoes of older stories and songs that appear in the Homeric epics and other scraps of Linear B (the name for their writing), or to try to reconstruct it from Indo-European (which is a whole different academic field). The stories of Theseus and Heracles would seem to be older by a century or two than the Trojan War. And of course the stories of the Olympian gods probably existed in some form for many centuries before that. In Book I of the Iliad, the character Nestor, who is older than the other warriors, is scolding them for their dishonorable behavior and reminding them that their fathers would not have acted this way--he goes on to mention their exploits, including destroying the "beast men who lived in the mountains." It sounds a bit like Gilgamesh and Enkidu slaying Humbaba in the Cedar Forest from the early Mesopotamian epic. (I've also read a theory that these "beast men" and Humbaba might be distant memories of the last of the Neanderthals!). Anyway, these kinds of tidbits are about the best we can do. Our literary tradition of the Greeks begins with Homer and Hesiod and we just can't penetrate much further back. The previous culture of the Minoans, which they conquered, likely had a rich mythic tradition, but we still cannot decipher their language (Linear A) and I don't know that there is a whole lot of it anyway. Thanks for writing--it's been fun thinking about this. Cheers!
George Brooks Thanks for the response ! I’ll start looking into. Some of the things you’ve mentioned ! Are you a believer in earth being split into four periods of time ? Where mans intelligence size strength knowledge and longevity demise to 10 percent Of it’s previous age ? Are there any characters that you know of during the Ulysses time where their age was a few hundred yrs old ?
@@logos513 You can still live to 200+ today if you practise fasting, extremely focused nutrition (IE; basically only consume medicinal herbs), sexual abstinence, qigong or some other sort of meditative energy work to both circulate internal energy and cultivate it from the universe around us, and of course live a relaxed stress-free, unpolluted lifestyle, amongst other things which should come naturally (alcohol is ok but not car fumes or synthetic drugs etc...). The Chinese hermit monk/Taoist Li-Ching Yuen is someone to look into.
... Eventually, they had invented squares:) and they meseaured afterwards all world with squares Back then, I had poor English, theses days maybe the reasoning. Professor, I am following the classes right now, to understand if i should register for new classes in Philosophy.
Around 9:15 in the video you mentioned Pythagoras having an odd dislike for beans. I wonder if its because he knew undercooked beans had the precursor to cyanide in them and eating only 2 or 3 raw kidney or lima beans would induce the same effect as food poisoning. I also wonder if this is where the term "bean counter" came from 😂
I really wish you had a math course simply teaching us math using reality instead of symbols. My daughter is struggling in high school, her teacher is terrible, and I try to help, but I don't know enough. Do you happen to know of video source which teaches in this manner? As might realize, your lessons are already changing lives, hopefully my daughter is one of them.
Wow, thank you. I am not a math professor, but I had the benefit of Mrs. Booth for 8th-grade math which changed my brain forever, and one of my academic interests is the history of science and technology, so I continue to think about mathematics and its applications--and I just enjoy thinking about the world in mathematical terms. What grade is your daughter in, and what kind of math is she struggling with? I don't know a lot of online math resources, but as I type this I see the bots have put a math tutorial course in the ads (calcworkshop.com) which might be good. There is one delightful series of math videos with simple stick figures drawn in sped-up video by a mathematician named Vi Hart that I love (here is her video on Pythagoras which I have my students watch--it is very good at conveying how the Greeks saw things in ratios: th-cam.com/video/X1E7I7_r3Cw/w-d-xo.html). If it would help, I could do a quickie video on how all the formulas for areas of plane figures: square, rectangle, parallelogram, triangle, circle...are all related to each other, derived in a series, and how they relate to the physical shapes they describe...that was the mind-blowing lecture from Mrs. Booth that changed everything for me--I would never see math the same way again.
Jokes aside this guys awesome, I’ve watched a bunch of his lectures. Too bad I didn’t have someone like this philosophy 101, I would’ve actually been interested.
Please make a video that defends Philosophy. Science obviously came from Natural Philosophy. Isaac Newton was a Natural Philosopher himself. I hate that some people say Philosophy is Dead when it is clearly not. I wanna hear what you would say.
Thank you George. You may enjoy the series of short videos about Pythagoras that I put together for my students and others. --John Sase, Ph.D. Economics (and a guitarist) th-cam.com/video/sSNlSri6bag/w-d-xo.html Also, you may enjoy Norman Wildberger's series on Rational Geometry: th-cam.com/video/GGj399xIssQ/w-d-xo.html
Yeah but (Pi)thagoras was BC so why would they. I interestingly see a direct connection to music and the Bible for example: God created the heavens and the earth in 7 days referring to the diatonic chords of the Major scale he rested on the 7th day because the 7th scale degree is Locrian (Loco) which has the natural Tritone in the key of C also known as the devil in music. This 7th scale degree has no resolution because of it's diminished 5th or Pentagram. The 12 disciples representing the 12 semi tones with JC=13 or Jesus Christ encompassing an octave only 13 is 1. This is why the Bible is the true word of god. They thought only perfect shapes could come from something harmonious. If you also take a circle of fifths start at C and go through all 6 diatonic notes in alphabetical order you get the start of David. Remember diatonic follows this Order Major Minor Minor Major Major Minor. Chromatic Christ Whole holy whole tone scale being hexatonic Ect. IDK it all makes sense to me 12 . Like the Bible was written by mathematicians and musicians. Tetragrammaton is apparently the true name of god which to me sounds like some complex shape. Music has symmetry and that resonance experiment using Hz proves Pythagoras was right on the Music of the Spheres. Music is the universal language of the cosmos.
I enjoy your lecture videos even though I am not a history or philosophy student. The thing I like about your lecture is you just describe the ancient ideas and events without much of your own personal bias and judgement. Especially with your Early Christian Timeline lecture where you are not being biased about religion/Christianity and letting listeners make up their own mind and understand things as it is. You also explain things using an everyday language where a layman can understand without the need of any background knowledge in philosophy. My only complaint is you are doing a disservice to humanity by publishing only a few videos. Also, you are uploading random unrelated videos and that doesn't give me a reason to subscribe to your channel as I am not sure what you are offering. I have an interest in philosophy but don't need to see your catapult videos. You are making me confused as what to expect from your channel. As a business student, you are not 'specialising' the product you are delivering to your niche market. You must have read Adam Smith's 'Wealth of the nations", you just need to apply it here. Cheers!
Well, I'm glad you have enjoyed the lectures--your complaint is noted, but it proceeds from two flawed assumptions: 1. the topics are not "unrelated"...they are various topics that I teach as a professor of humanities--it isn't just a religion site or a philosophy site, but everything related to the human pursuit of truth and beauty; and 2. I don't really care if anyone subscribes to my site--you'll notice that there are no ads as I have not tried to monetize my channel. I only filmed these lectures for my online students, and to put some of my standard lectures online to save class time for discussion--they are on TH-cam because that was the easiest way to link them to my online platform. I didn't expect other people to watch them, and was surprised when I started getting email notifications that such-and-such a person had "subscribed to my channel"--I didn't even know what that meant at first. It has been pleasantly surprising that people all around the world have watched my lectures and 99% of the comments are positive...and my Plato lecture in particular seems to have helped a lot of people through difficult courses. As a business major, you see the world in terms of profitable commodities, but that isn't the only way to place value on something. Subscribe...don't subscribe...I will be equally unaffected by whatever choice you make. Cheers!
this is the real philosophy teacher, connect all stuff together, the math, and music...rational - ratio.....so cool...
Fun analogies, too.
Yeah he is amazing. He's not even a math teacher but he has helped me understand more about math in this short clip than any math teacher I even had.
