    Anaximander:
    1:15 It’s said that he set up a gnomon
    1:37 he was a well known cartographer
    2:05 he believed the earth floated in space
    2:23 he thought the earth was cylindrical
    3:08 he thought the moon and sun were rings
    3:48 he thought the first animals were water fish
    4:19 his theory of where we came from
    5:22 he realized water didn’t explain everything
    8:26 he came up with apeiron
    8:37 he thought the foundation of the universe was an unlimited divine force.
    9:35 he was the first to imagine in an infinite amount of universes.

    You make very good summaries. You mention a lot of details most channels ignore. Keep up the good work!

    late to the party, but that's the most dramatic rendition of Pop Goes the Weasel I think I've ever heard.

      Yea, my videos from 2018/2019 had their background music a little louder than I'm doing these days.

    The thorny bark capsule idea isn't too far off from the modern idea that eggs had to evolve before amphibious animals could become fully land dwelling though

    Het is wel grappig en interessant om een korte blik te werpen in de denkwijzen
    van deze geleerden uit het verre verleden

    We tend to reify our holistic perceptions into binary concepts. We reify the holistic perception of hotter and colder into the opposites of hot and cold. Hot is not cold and cold is not hot, and never the twain shall meet, whereas in Reality they are the complementary self- extensions that proceed from and return to meet in the middle of the Continuum we call 'temperature'. There is always some of each in the other, even if only a molecule or two.
    The Divine is Infinite potential Eternally actualizing, for only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity.

    great video. After just leaning Ancient Greek for just a few days, I feel excited to see the word άπειρον.

    Wow Anaximander was a real OG. Original Genius, sorry Thales.

    • @innosanto

      They are both great geniuses, not common genius.
      Thales was first to talk about logic and the theorem of ratios and also the first to say that the world is not created by gods whi had sex and to explain naturalistic ways of forming.

      There are many particular ways of saying the universal. "All that could be thought has already been thought, the task is to think it again" - Goethe.

    All heat and cold and opposites come from arcate.... well if you translate this to our idea of most opposites being the result of energy difference, then...it all did come from the big bang

  • @dzanderallison

    was Thales implying that early life lived in a coconut?

    • @SolomonsCave
      @SolomonsCave  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't remember that particular detail, though there are a lot of stories about Thales scattered throughout ancient literature.
