That he's very fortunate to conduct a lifestyle which demands him to upload a video a day giggling over memes with reading philosophy while also gaining millions.

He's just another clown, gaining money in the circus that is modern western society.

Hi Felix, since I know you're reading this:
>read pic related, which relates to Socrates' trial and death
>there's a Swedish translation of the Iliad that's supposed to be really, really good, if you're worried about what to tell your viewers to read just say Fagles or something
>as for Greece vs Greek, Socrates was an Ancient Greek philosopher who came from Ancient Greece like Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher from Denmark and you are a Swedish YouTuber from Sweden

Only if he asks someone to explain it to him or he'll fucking kill them

we truly are living in a society

It's a refreshing sort of discovery to realise that some fragmentary shard of dignity still prevents me from doing something as idiotic as spending 50 minutes on a Pewdiepie video.

cmon bro all the cool kids are doing it

yet you are wasting your time on a pewdiepie thread lmao

Well, at least he's self aware about it. he's an intelligent clown, I'll give him that

>there's a Swedish translation of the Iliad that's supposed to be really, really good, if you're worried about what to tell your viewers to read just say Fagles or something
I see you've paid attention to some of my (and other anons') shilling.

It really is fantastic.

Someone bring this to his attention

Whose translation is it? Can't remember the name so I can't recommend it specifically

just play it in the background as you are taking a shit or something

Erland Lagerlöf. He was a humble teacher who struggled with alcoholism, and allegedly finished his translation on a windy loft he rented, often sitting in bed with his clothes on because it was so cold. Died a year after the Iliad was published.

A god damn rockstar (not that people generally know who he is)

Pewds, the Republic is the last Plato dialogue you should read. It is very easy to misinterpret its content (like people saying that Plato was some kind of revolutionary or bullshit like that). You should pick one tetralogy and read it.

plato-dialogues.org/tetralog.htm

Yea Forums HAS GONE TO HELL

RIP

I wonder if he read it in swedish or in english. I read the foundational texts (Apology, Crito, Euthyphro, Symposium, Phaedo, Gorgias etc) in a modern swedish translation that was really solid. I wouldn't read a book in english, unless it was originally written in that language, if I could avoid it (ie, if there was no swedish translation, or if there were, but they were lacking)

I follow the same idea, and I want to learn greek and latin to read in the original language + understand even more my mother language (portuguese)

>novice
C'mon, mate, "book review" has been going on for a while, he's at leas an "Apprentice".

He makes some mistakes with the historical summary like all the greek polises coming together and peloponessian war being a civil war

I bet he was the faggot that kept asking Yea Forums if it's get better when at part 1, he just finished part 2 apparently.
Pewds, you faggot, Part 3 introduces the series main gimmick (Stands), Part 4 is when the author learns how to use it.

>that conclusion at the end where he talked about how glad he is that he got into literature and that he is alive to read books like The Republic

but still, Yea Forums is basically reddit at this point. no intelligent discussion going on here

Stop posting this racist anti-Semite here. He said the n-word and constantly jokes about Jews.

i would argue certain corners of reddit have a much higher standard than Yea Forums for actual decent, accurate info and civil discussion you shouldn't be on Yea Forums

Which corners of reddit

go read some books if you want "actual decent, accurate info"

Its not a bad thing he is introducing philosophy to zoomers, stop being elitists. Knowledge doesn't belong to the universities alone.

Don't stop by calling it pseud and move on, he brings up valid reasons to assume Galileo was actually on the less rational side in the debate and it was more about politics than religon and science

this is awesome tbqh, good shit

Glad to hear how he saw Plato as the brainlet he is on some topics, and not pretend he agrees with them for Yea Forums points.

as you can't understand Plato without gnosis, you're just intellectually and spiritually impoverished

Now Pewd is more Yea Forums than half of you retards

I feel like most of his objections were him cucking to the advertisers by not going against the grain and saying something controversial like "not everybody is born equal."

when will he tackle the meme trilogy?
if you're reading this pewdiepie it's infinite jest, gravitys rainbow, and ulysses

YOU IDIOT

THE REPUBLIC DOES NOT PRESENT THE GENUINE BELIEFS AND IDEAS OF ANYONE

IT IS A PURELY INTELLECTUAL EXERCISE DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU THINK AND DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS

AOC most certainly browses here, but Pynchon probably doesn't (at least not regularly).

AOC I WANT TO CUM INSIDE YOUR ASSHOLE

I was waiting for him to say this but I’m not sure he ever got it. Based anyway though just for trying

Well he goes on /gif/ and /wsg/ so it’s not that far fetched

Felix if you're reading this randomly namedrop Weininger in your next book review

Dead board. Dead site.

if your reading this mention my cock

That's not entirely true. There are some things in the Republic that Plato almost certainly believed, at least for part of his life. Like the Forms, and the immortality of the soul.

I also think he genuinely thought of wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice we important virtues for a person to posses, and that not all people posses them in equal proportion.

For most of the stuff that's actually about how the state should be run, though, you're right.

what use does this thread have- why not talk about some worthwhile commentary on plato... you guys put down people like bertrand russell constantly but he is at least 10^2 times more insightful than this guy.

It's not a funny meme either, the past few days have turned this board into a trash can where threads about this stupid debate are dumped. Every time there has been a worthwhile thread I have always taken what users say with a grain of salt, but after seeing how many of you actually watched that idiotic debate I can't help but feel like disregarding any opinion anyone has on this board. Entertaining shitposts are fine, Griffithfag was amusing, but grow up from unironically wasting your time discussing these idiots' thoughts.

Why are all interesting black people either gay or schizophrenic?

This whole site has really gone to shit. Oh wow a shitty youtuber has read The Republic, was an accomplishment! Watch better channels, retard zoomer fucks.

If I remember correctly, theres an entire chapter/book (book 5) devoted to explaining the communal system used by the auxiliary class. Why put all that detail if it isnt supposed to be a sort of practical guide?

It seems a stretch to claim all of that is analogy.

He's outright admitted to browsing this site before so it's not that odd that he would visit this board.

Regardless, getting kids interested in reading is always a good thing

>immanuel can't

he's literally made lazy videos browsing wsg or gif for ylyl

Hi Felix, I like that you're doing book review, but this was a lot. I saw your subreddit, and I know you want to make this more interactive, but I can't imagine many people who like books or even philosophy are watching the whole thing.

You're better of doing your old format of talking a little bit about books you want to, and just listing books for your audience to read that aren't 1984.

i'll do what i want on my channel bitch.

His content is so fucking lazy, literally a millionaire who does nothing but poach content that other people have both created and compiled, whine about ad revenue and make brand deals. He seems obsessed with money and with image.
And then he does a livestream and he has hundreds of people fucking DONATING money to him. It's so fucked.

>who does nothing but poach content that other people have both created and compiled
>nothing but
literally have you seen the 50 minute video of him talking about the republic that this thread is about

that's more you being a self conscious nerd faggot

none of the truly intelligent people I've met went out of their way to avoid popular or "low brow" art or entertainment. every insecure tryhard midwit has though.

If anyone has a problem with either Pewdiepies analysis of Republic of this board's posting his analysis, why not discuss Republic here directly? Provide for us what you feel is lacking.

This critisism is strange, especially when there has been no real discussion of the book in the first place. If we, in having a substantial thread, had been interrupted by a shallow account of Plato, Id understand the reaction. But there was nothing to be interrupted in the first place...

why would anyone sit and watch a literal brainlet provide a shallow 50 minute analysis of an entry level philosophical work

because gay and schizophrenic people are interesting and you're a racist for liking bland white heterosexuals and neurotypicals.

people new to philosophy

>It's something I mentioned in my Simulacra and Simulation video
Alright, this guy is alright in my book

is the republic just a fanfic or what

I have masturbated to every single one of her videos. I found her relatively late in her youtube career, but I began as soon as I watched the first one. Within the next 3-4 weeks, I noticed that I have came to all her newly released videos and a few of her older ones I went back and watched. I then set a goal for myself to do all of them. I'm not gonna lie, it took me quite a while to complete the task, maybe a month or so. And again, not all of these were "relatively" sexy. However, I always found something about her that just begged for cum... of course her brapper, her strong strong features, her bitties, and her face. But to be honest, it's not even these common features themselves that set me off - but rather her metaphysical bredability.

Keep in mind, megsquats has over 400 videos. That means I've came to the idea of breeding with her over 400 times. At this point, I believe I've formed a cosmic connection with megsquats in which mulitiverses are formed from pure thought. In each multiverse, I've bred her another child. And in one multiverse in particular, we've started an army. Meg is hooked up to a machine that keeps her legs spread and there are various tubes jammed in all over her, like one in her mouth that force feeds her and one in her ass that is an extension of her digestive system, and a couple connected to her tits that continuously milk her, and various machines keep her washed and shaved. I simply walk up to her once per day, sometimes twice, and activate the machine by saying "Hello my strong strong friends" and the mechanics bring her to my erect cock and the whole thing vibrates until I orgasm. Then when she becomes pregnant, the machines manipulate her onto an "accelerator" of sorts, which removes the fetus and places it within an artificial womb to grow. In this way, the beauty and youth of meg's body is preserved. Also, she is released from the apparatus once per day to powerlift.

don't resent a man for escaping the trap user

that being said I hope all the pewdiepie loving zoomers who spam him on this board would just go away

and I thought Yea Forums couldn't get any worse

his fans will take everything he says at face value and not bother to actually read these books, just becoming pseuds who post on Yea Forums like you

but it doesn't matter what I say, keep sucking pewdiepie's dick

what a fucking world where young people's only role model is an e-celeb

Why does everything he reviews seem taken straight out of a Yea Forums meme chart, why not review something obscure he enjoys like most booktubers do? because right now his entire list is a "praise my taste, i'm smart" starter pack

>Plato is a meme author

Individually he isn't, but when his entire playlist consists of the top 10 Yea Forums picks you start wondering if the man has personal any taste or is just looking for validation

Many might have read The Republic or a bunch of Plato's other texts, but it never really seems like dialectic got anywhere.
What's more, most people still make value judgments and use words without 1) defining them or 2) staying consistent to whatever definition they offered up.
That makes me wonder what people are really getting out of these things.
