NEW CONTEST - The Good Life... what's that?

[HeyItzShelbyE]

How did Gyges see that a skeleton was wearing the ring if the the ring makes its wearer invisible??

[terralynn9]

I'm going to go watch the philosophers video but my take on the moral of the story is: To have a Good Life, you must first find the One Ring and then seduce and murder your way to success.

[Rabarx]

I think this story lost alot in translation. Unless that ring grants wishes, I dont see how invisibility can be that effective. Neat trick, but .... just sayin.

Where is Tessa?

[irionchris]

Adam: "Why do you have a fork?"

Therese: "I was eating an apple."

Awesome!

[checkyourfocus]

@irionchris Hahaha, if you don't eat an apple with a fork already, you should definitely try it sometime! :P -Therese

[ahhitskatrina]

I can't believe this is the topic! We just read this story in The Republic in my Intellectual Traditions class and we're discussing how Socrates talks about what 'the good life' is. So I can totally relate.

[checkyourfocus]

@ahhitskatrina Awesome!!!! Our follow-up video explain Socrates' and Glaucon's different views. Will you be entering the contest?

[pinkyoilers]

using a fork to eat an apple=the good life

[checkyourfocus]

@pinkyoilers Hahahahaha, TOTALLY! :P Are you going to enter the contest?

[pinkyoilers]

@checkyourfocus I would want to but...my camera is broken and I'm not a very good video maker soo...probably not :P

[checkyourfocus]

@pinkyoilers Awww, well if you're able to find a working camera, give it a shot! :)

@Sparklynailvarnish Thanks, I try to maintain it.

[mblabezza]

I can't hear properly where I am, is there a prize? If so.. What??

[checkyourfocus]

@mblabezza We're working on switching the prize for this contest. For now, assume an iPad 2, but if we can make it happen... it may blow your mind! :P

[xXGreenArmyXx]

That reminded me The Thousands and One Nights!! I have a 6 book collection of 1945 I think :D

[checkyourfocus]

@xXGreenArmyXx Cool! I've never heard of that series! Are you going to be entering the contest?

[xXGreenArmyXx]

@checkyourfocus I don`t have camera :,( But I`ll keep following the contest. You should really look for that series, like seven hundred folk tales compiled in Arabic. In English is known more as "Arabian Nights". About the camera, until I get one `ll be able to enter your contests, witch I`m pretty excited!(srry my english is not so good)

[checkyourfocus]

@xXGreenArmyXx Awww, I hope you get a camera soon! :) Sounds cool, thanks! Which country are you from?

[xXGreenArmyXx]

@checkyourfocus I'm Argentinean but I live in Tijuana, Mexico the most visited border city in the glob, so I get to cross a lot to USA, thats why I`ll get better in english ;D Cya and awesome job with the green screen!

[checkyourfocus]

Lord of the rings... Burger rings style.

[maddieweston]

Eating an apple with a fork? Really Therese, you're so weird... haha.

[checkyourfocus]

@maddieweston Wait, you don't eat apples with forks...?

[icecream257]

Literally lol'd at the earthquake reaction! :)

[checkyourfocus]

@icecream257 Kekeke! :P Will you be entering the contest??

[AdamUPNow]

Therese can grow a mighty fine beard.

[AdamUPNow]

I wish the ring I had was that soft and felty.

[checkyourfocus]

@AdamUPNow If you buy some yellow pipe cleaners, you may be able to replicate it. Can't guarantee the magical powers though. :P

[she2545]

Woo! Keen for the new contest! Hopefully i'll be able to come up with something worthy for you all to see :) Great to hear from you guys again!

Ps...was there meant to be no link at the end...?

[checkyourfocus]

@she2545 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Can't wait to see your video!! :) Hahaha... it actually took 6 hours to upload, so by the time it was actually done and I could add annotations, I fell asleep. I think it finished uploading around 4am this morning, hahaha. We will have an actual link at the end soon though! :)
