Dear sir: I took a Chinese history course and the professor says Taoism is pronounced Daoism

@@oobrocks In Chinese language, 道 is pronounced as Dao throughout history. Both English words Tao and Dao refer to the same Chinese character 道. However 道 was translated into Taoism before People's Republic of China adopted the Romanization system of Pinyin in 1958. After the Pinyin system was adopted in China, the word 道 has been translated into Dao, hence Daoism. Today, one can pronounce the word Taoism as Taoism and Daoism as Daoism. It would be a bit odd to pronounce Taoism as Daoism, although there is no right or wrong about pronouncing both words interchangeably. People will understand it either way.

I was expecting you to highlight Symbol of Knowledge and No. 1 Scholar in the World DR BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR philosophy aswell. He was very versatile person, he was Jurist, Politician, Economist, Philosophist, Anthropologist, Author of Indian Constitution, potent crusader against cast system, etc.

I lost most of hair making it. At least you grew some beard.

😂😂😂😂😂

Lol Im a woman, but … same

You're lucky! Could have been just mustache!

Hahahahha

Good 😊

Like you're out there just chuckin 300quid about. What's your own philosophy saying about that nachiketh?? Bet it's your daddy's money

​@@jamesstalin5871some of y'all just come outta nowhere just to hate and project their life onto others

Thanks for your support in this maundering philosophical age we live in.

@@MF_Frost you expect too much from someone with stalin in the name...

Thanks for the advice, will do just that 😊

Hey I'm not intrested in wasting my time energy all the errors I just have a great day

It is actually the right path. One should emerged into ideas that one disagrees with and analyze why the philosopher believed those concepts. Every philosopher is bound to their time. But is in focusing on their insights each and everyone of them provided that you can further build a stronger philosophy. 🫡

Thanks for the advice. As a 43 yo, I'm gonna start to philosophy major in the fall semester. This video is a huge summary, gives a broad aspect of what is what who is who in philosophy. I think I will study it a couple of times.

Who's your favorite and least favorite, why?

Strange that 2.5 hours doesnt grasp the thinking developed over 2500 years. Strange

@@SHANONisRegenerate its not strange at all but 2500 years isn't enough that just what's somewhat reached us this goes back way further than that

🤣

@Awoke Awoke meh

Me too, I agree, 100% 👍

​​@ethicsexistentialism4191 I agree 💯

Thank you!

Thanks!

Take simple notes and use them as a guide to expand on the information through your own research.

You’re welcome. Cheers!

Glad it was helpful!

@@Fiction_Beast Are you of Indian-origin living abroad? Do you feel shameful about your Indian identity? Internalised racism is romantised in Indian families eveb India's upper class cities, and you're living abroad, it'd been more disgusting! Btw Why do 99% of your videos are based on western stupidity which they call "philosophy" and you've also termed it as "philosophy", I may be over generalising western so-called philosophical literature, but my over generalisation is right to many context. Yes, Socrates is an exception. But all other psychologist turned philosophers haven't really wrote much compared to what Aryan Saints(Noble Saints) have wrote in India. You're of Indian origin and You only talk about those who are popular Indian like Buddha or Tagore or your understanding is not enough to deeply understand other than Buddha and Tagore? Anyway, If you really understood Buddha, then it is enough to sum up the conclusions of all Indian philosophies. But, meditation becomes torturous sometimes, and this is when you look up to other philosophical works coming from a religion which is not discussed publicly for it's contribution to humanity. Santana Dharma aka Hinduism, if you want to understand it - Study Osho. He have better understanding of the hindu scriptures, more than any Hindu or Brahmins.

@@aaradhyarawat7589 I doubt u even watched this video

@@aaradhyarawat7589 you are not special for being born in India

@@aaradhyarawat7589 ur comment is the closest thing to stupidity I've seen so far here m8

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes it took me many hours. I could have built a swimming pool or a small cabin.

lovely comment .

Thank you! Any specific points of criticism?

Yeah it’s a bit chunky. Take it easy.

@@Fiction_Beast Thank u for this eurocentric video why does such video come in recommendation in South Asia

Thank you very much!

Me neither

Am here watching every line...❤❤ It's really unbelievable it's free....🎉🎉

It’s far superior to my entire college studies of religion, anthropology, philosophy and sociology. Instruments of teaching like this will replace our disgustingly obsolete school systems and curricula designed to indoctrinate and inculcate people into obedient wage slaves.

Could you say, although the descriptions may not align entirely, that the binding agent of the physical realm aka matter and the conscience realm aka cravings be our soul? I know the concept of heaven and nirvana don't alight perfectly as well, but I've always noticed a lot of similarity between Christianity and buddhism when trying to cross reference the two. I'm not Buddhist so sorry if I'm off

@@jjlowrey most Buddhists don’t believe in a “binding agent” or an “essence.”

@@jjlowrey also if you’re interested in comparisons of Christianity and Buddhism if you haven’t already I recommend reading Living Buddha Living Christ by Thich Nat Hanh :)

Also he made a mistake that buddha was from Indian royal family. It is false. He was born in Nepal and is from Nepali Royal family from kapilvastu , Lumbini. Though he gained enlightenment in India but his statement is not true.

I found that to actually be quite suspect and speculative

Martian philosophy can be summed up by Becket’s Waiting for Godot.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. I rarely get that so I appreciate. I’m also glad this video was somewhat helpful. Also this is barely a scratch so I hope you have become curious enough to pursue philosophy further. Thank you.

Perhaps you have already seen parts

Ahhhh got ya.

Please do that I feel Nepal needs such book

Great suggestion! It will take a while though.

I want that too

@@Fiction_Beast hopefully!

@@Fiction_Beast Jagadish Vasudev OBVIOUSLY possesses an above-average intellect (although he often makes truly inane statements, such as “plants are more sensitive than animals, and they scream in pain when being eaten”). However, if anyone considers him a "Sadhguru" then kindly explain to me how a so-called "prophet” (Jagadguru) can possibly support the two most PERNICIOUS institutions in the history of the world... F.I.S.H. Paragraph 28. Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to or even superior to men. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from any of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a female. Feminism and democracy are guaranteed to destroy society, as can be clearly seen at present. However, feminism will NEVER EVER be destroyed until the most pernicious institution is first destroyed: F.I.S.H Paragraph 26. Democracy is evil because the masses will invariably choose the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus. This planet is surely doomed unless the most pernicious institution ever known to man (democracy) is replaced by the only legitimate form of government (monarchy - preferably a good monarch, though even a bad king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official who can never be good). Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon, since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Just because good and bad are relative, does not imply that they do not exist. They do exist but are relative. A democrat can never be good, despite appearing so. One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, communism and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control or at least influence the personal lives of every single citizen. For example, in the wicked, decadent nation where this holy scripture was composed, The Southland (or Australia as it is known in the Latin tongue), the demonic government tries and largely succeeds in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not) and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are modestly dressed, which is hardly the case in Australia and similar nations. Basically, the worst of the democratic governments promote or at least permit all things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”). Let it be known however - democracy can not and will not endure. The truth shall triumph! Democracy is only acceptable within large business corporations, where the shareholders must vote on who will be the company bosses and other matters. To read the remaining chapters of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, which are the most accurate spiritual precepts so far in human history, Email me with the acronym “FISH” in the subject field. 🐟 “The gateway to KNOWLEDGE is ignorance”. 🤓

That's great to hear.

@@Fiction_Beast same

Thank you for pointing this out this us very interesting. Now I actually want to look into this lol. Good thing I have this video to start 😉

Wow, thank you!

Good suggestion! I’ll see what I can do.

I have only listened to the first 20 minutes so far, but already I can see that this video is accomplishing something huge - akin to the periodic table for human thought. You are providing a unifying framework and narrative for how philosophy, literature, science and psychology all fit together - an a reflection of your tremendous mind, knowledge, effort and generosity! Thank you.

Thank you! I’m trying to get a website ready so I can post the script there. Stay tuned.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Appreciate it.

Appreciate it Max!

Myself I don’t think philosophy goes in any direction. That would assume some linear progression. I recommend the brilliant essay by William Hazlitt (possibly the best prose writer in English) “Why the Arts Are Not Progressive”. Also John D Barrow (brilliant mathematician at Cambridge University) says something similar in his most profound statement: “A Universe simple enough to understand could not have created a mind capable of understanding it”.

I appreciate that!

Thank you!

It’s time I grow longer beard to become a proper goat.

Yes I think it’s a good point. I should have included him. Maybe in a future video.
