British demons with a penchant for philosophy. She can't do much to help beyond offering to connect him with a good divorce lawyer.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who finds this funny.

[Image ID: Two demons, both with a black-and-red motif, sitting on red velvet stools at a small, circular table. The table boasts a crystal ball, and behind them a fire is burning in a fireplace. The left demon is Trixie Mephistopheles, a brunette female demon with her black wings outstretched. She is leaning on one hand with a look of vague amusement bordering on sympathy. On the right is Crowley from good omens, a red-headed demon with dark sunglasses. He appears to be crying, slumped over the small table with his head down.]

I watched that hbomberguy video y'all wouldn't shut up about and then YouTube was like hey wanna watch another hbomberguy video? And then YouTube was like hey how about philosophytube? And now I've watched like 20 philosophytube videos in the past week.

Abigail Thorn (PhilosophyTube) was my cool aunt and we were trying to escape a family function together.

Went to see The Prince by @realphilosophytube the other day and augh, guys...if you get chance to go and see it, you absolutely have to go because it's truly incredible. Fantastic story, brilliant cast, the set and costumes and sound design are phenomenal! And it's honestly quite emotional for me to see a play like this which is so much about the trans experience (specifically the experience of realising and also being in the closet and scared to come out). I've never seen anything like that before that's resonated so much with me. So - fanart, naturally, ensued.

Conceptually I understand that PhilosophyTube is trans but I never really watched her pre transition so when I was watching an old FoldingIdeas video from like 2018 and he mentioned Philosophytube and a clip comes up of just this fuckin guy I had a few moments of utter fucking confusion like who is this this is not ms philosophytube!!! sir! who r u and what r u doing in the philosphytube box?!

and I have this experience every time like I think she shows up in the hbomberguy vaccines video and it gets me every single time.

Anyway, a third plagiarism video that came out recently (on Nebula, but it's a few days out on YouTube) is philosophytube's "A Man Plagiarized My Work: Women, Money, and the Nation."

She already gave a teaser on YouTube shorts, though!

So, I finally got around to watching @theabigailthorn's video on Stoicism, and I really enjoyed it! It's a good introduction, both to the strengths of Stoic philosophy, and to its limitations and modern criticisms.

I especially liked that she pointed out ancient Stoicism did not reject all emotions as bad, which is a common misconception. It was also cool to see her touch on Stoic physics, which are usually overlooked, but can get very weird and cool! Most Stoics were what we'd now call pantheists, and some believed in ekpyrosis, the idea that the universe is one giant time-loop repeating forever.

Stoicism was a big hit in the Roman world, and a lot of Roman politicians agreed with or rejected Stoic ideas. (Cato the Younger probably wasn't a Stoic, though; see Fred Drogula's biography of him for details.) And through the Romans and Greeks, several Stoic ideas seeped into Christianity. Besides the ones Thorn points out, the Christian ideas of the "conscience," of all humans being equal in nature, part of one worldwide community, and of having part of God/Nature within us, all have precedents in Stoicism. But the pantheism in Stoic physics, and the belief in ekpyrosis instead of a final judgment day, made it an unacceptably "pagan" worldview in the eyes of later Christians.

Anyway, super cool topic, and I love how Thorn makes philosophy interesting and approachable. Maybe in a few years we'll have an Epicurean moment, too...

#personally i lean more toward epicureanism + a social justicey/feminist flair #but stoicism also inspired some big improvements in mental health care in the 60s and 70s #so that's neat too! #stoicism #philosophytube #jlrrt speaks #jlrrt watches #jlrrt essays

"Seneca also said that you shouldn't force your slave to shave his beard and then dress him like a maid and have him serve you at the dinner table and then have sex with him!

Which... weirdly specific example, Seneca? I meal like... yeah don't do forcefemme maidplay with your femboy slaves, but again, I feel like the bad bit of that is the slavery?

The rest sounds great."

New episode of Philosophy Tube will be on Nebula this week - I just need to render and do the subtitles and metadata!

The YouTube cut will be out on December 8th!

I'm excited for this one, I reckon it's some of my best work - especially on the editing

#philosophytube #philosophy chube #my presentation in it is pretty good too #generally pretty pleased overall! #not that any of that matters #on youtube 99% of it comes down to title and thumbnail #bit anxious cause this one spins off in a few directions which makes a title tricky #but I will do my best!

[ohsalome]

Initially I wanted to ignore this thread, but I have a few mutuals who watch Philosophytube who I think would want to know about her stance

#ukraine #war in ukraine #russia #not all russians #russian culture #ukrainian genocide #breadtube #lefttube #philosophytube #abigail thorn #personally i find it unsurprising #i unsubbed from her when she called chornobyl ''a part of soviet russia''
