The Cynic Philosophers: Diogenes to Jesus

Рет қаралды 5,243

Күн бұрын

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 not the last.

Sorry this one took so long! Editing in After Effects is a b*tch when you only have 8 gb of ram 😅Hopefully the visual upgrade was worth the wait. 😋

I would posit that Hamashiach is a stoic with cynical predispositions. John the Baptist though… That man was a cynic to the bone.

This is an amazing example of what Jesus actually was . . And where is style came from , . Still the question is , was the bible partly false in not the way to live life but did Moses actually talk to God himself, and what happened to jesus body in the tomb . . Spiritually speaking do some beings as jesus and some saint hood types etc never become part of the universes energy but stays within a spiritual world full of God like beings ?

Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, who wore camel hair cloak and ate wild honey. Sounds like a cynical character to me. This is a great video. I think it would be improved by a discussion of the nature and influence of John the Baptist.

Love looking up “cynic jesus” every once in a while on the ol utubez and this popped up from a day ago. Cheers to the cynical, impoverished, virtuous Gzus.
