[fluorescentcentipede]

I have no respect towards neoamerican zionist media dumbing down subhumans and they cause me extreme dysphoria with their subjects they choose for conversation

[noledgewise1]

This video is satire. Not Lord of Flies level but good enough to dumb some, stun others and bore some to death. Enjoy some other video on YOUTube if you can't like it.

[LoveNeverCeases]

What?! Socrates only reads tabloids when he's sick or bored? DEATH BY HEMLOCK!!!

[Marinemauro]

Socrates and Plato : Ancient Philosophers

Oprah Winfrey, People magazine etc : Modern showbiz "philosophers".

Conclusion : WE ARE SCREWED INDEED

[NobiscumDeus1]

Big people talk about idea, average people talk about things, and small people talk about other people.

[theweirdguy1992]

"Modern philosophy" indeed

[Fukyouimdrunk]

socrates looks so much better with his head shaved :(

[zaynzaynzayn]

WE SUCK!!!

[pratikh]

There are actually real people who do this as a majority of their daily existence.

[loordargyle]

not fun.

[TheSubzerogr]

Ευχομαι να ηταν ζωντανος ο ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ η ο ΛΕΟΝΙΔΑΣ...και να ξεσκιζαμε τους ΒΑΡΒΑΡΟΥΣ για μια ακομη φορα...

Χμμμμμμ...

Αλλα τι λεω?Συντομα θα γινει του Αραντις...ΚΑΙ ΤΟΤΕ ΘΑ ΤΑ ΠΟΥΜΕ...Και με τους ΙΛΛΟΥΜΙΝΑΤΙ και με τους ΜΑΣΟΝΟΥΣ αλλα κυριως...με τα ΑΦΕΝΤΙΚΑ τους...

[DJTerrorest]

@TheSubzerogr Translation?

[TheSubzerogr]

@DJTerrorest NO...LEARN GREEK...Hmmm i think not...let it go

[ascetic43]

Excuse me, "they're"...

[ascetic43]

@ascetic43 we have to be weary of *everything*, but that comes with the territory. At the end of the day we're living the Chinese blessing/curse "May you live in interesting times." Cheers.

[thescorpionking2020]

ancient greeks were kickass

[mike90h]

fucking sheeple news, fuck celebs

[simhui89]

haha.. look at the end.. the drink that they're drinking.. the logo is Starbucks logo... :)

[knewguy]

... They aren't gods. They're just dead and in heaven.

[moviecas]

Greeks of old are sooooo fucking epic.

[TheKristen1979]

I hate these magazines and the "news" shows that we are bombarded with daily. I wonder what ass picks that as a job. How does that job interview go, "I have always to talk about ppl. My dream is the be able to talk about ppl all over the world."

[RuskePerson]

So... some form of heaven exists, and Socrates and Plato have been there for several thousand years.

Assuming they remember every single century, it's no wonder they started reading tabloids. I'd probably go mad with boredom.

[DeusMalleus]

HEY WHERES ARISTOTLE?! He'd pwn some bitches

[EntinludeX]

Once again the Socratic Method arrives at the truth!

[boomtao]

Not funny!

[GrimmjowProduction]

I wonder where is Aristotles?

[mscoolestdudeeva]

A nobody? I don't think so, Socrates and Plato have been remembered for eons, Jessica Simpson and justin bieber maybe famous right now, but no one will remember them in the future. Great people live forever! =D

[tenochtitlan51582]

there not meant to be seen as gods there supposedly in the heavens after their death

[eilertsk8]

i just got a test about socrates,i got a 3+ a 0,5 points from -4

[ShaNagmaImmuru]

lame.yep, totaly lame.

[01misheel]

i could use a freaking starbucks right now i have the money but they don't sell it around here

[rsgrcg]

RY:

Yes! Socratic Method at its best!

[4bennett]

why was this funny?

[ToroToker]

If socrates and plato were alive today and saw how people waste their lives reading about rich slutty morons this they'd probably immediately kill themselves. Anyone writing, reading, or taking pictures for the "tabloids" is a complete fool. You couldn't ever possibly live a more meaningless wasteful life than gossiping and drooling over people you will never even meet let alone see in person. Americans choices of who to idolize are pathetic. Its better to a slutty blonde chick than a genius.

[usernameUNAVBL]

@ToroToker that's funny because sitting around wasting their time talking about useless things was a favorite past time of ancient greeks...adn the definition of philosophizing..Duh...read your history

[MrARandomPerson]

@usernameUNAVBL And a lot of those "useless things" they philosophized about sets the foundation for much of law, politics, science, and other subjects.

[boognishishere]

@ToroToker and this is limited to Americans?

[natanojpr]

@ToroToker Amen to that!!!

[HappyBdayflipyap]

@ToroToker wow, stereotypeing a little bit, i'm a teenager and i can maybe name twenty celebrities out of the hundreds there are

[mossfitz]

@ToroToker Hehe! i´m afraid you´re very wrong there - the idea of either Socrates or (especially!) Plato paying the slightest attention to what the slaves were up to with their paltry minds is absurd.

[IEatHarlots]

@ToroToker You're gonna judge all American's based on what middle aged housewives do in their spare time?

[ToroToker]

@IEatHarlots You're really gonna sit there and say the american youth isn't overly obsessed with celebrities??.... Than please tell me where in America you live I'll be there tomorrow

[IEatHarlots]

@ToroToker Yes, the only people obsessed with celebrities are middle aged house wives. And no you won't. You're just gonna sit there behind your computer screen and act tough. 

[ToroToker]

@IEatHarlots You're horribly wrong. I don't know how anyone can deny children and teenagers, especially American ones are overly obsessed with "hollywood". I can guarantee more Americans can tell you who Ryan Seacrest and Lil Wayne are than people who can tell you who their current Senator or congressman are. And I wasn't trying to act tough, I was saying I want to live where you live if people aren't obsessed with celebrities.

[IEatHarlots]

@ToroToker Knowing who someone is because you listen to their music / see them on TV is a LOT different than buying magazines to read about trivial stuff like where they buy their groceries or what beaches they were spotted at. And sorry, I misinterpreted you.

[ColacX]

@ToroToker you know when they were alive they had kings sending their armys to war because some other dude offended their family. so i think they would be okay.

[ToroToker]

@ColacX I think you've seen troy a few too many times.

[MZmatt1]

@ToroToker

respect!

[CocaColaIceBear]

@ToroToker

They would'nt kill themselves. They would try to die in the Wombs of their mother.

[ascetic43]

@ToroToker Not that I disagree about the tabloids, but to make a statement like "they'd both immediately kill themselves" is ignoring the corruption and mediocrity of their *own* time. Their society are the ones who *killed* Socrates for his ideas, after all. People have a way of glorifying an imperfect past out of their frustration for the present. It wasn't so perfect back then either....

[ToroToker]

@ascetic43 It was an exaggeration.

[ascetic43]

@ToroToker Cheers pal, and again, I agree that they'd be disappointed with our "evolution". I think they'd probably be particularly shocked by the divergence of science and metaphysics. I think our nihilist/materialist scientific paradigm would disgust them. There should be contemporary philosophers competing for the public's attention instead of tabloids, the world would be a better place.

[ToroToker]

@ascetic43 Ohhh how I wish what you said would becomes reality.

[ascetic43]

@ToroToker Well, at the very *least* we can make it *our* reality. I don't know how old you are, but I'm 35, and I can remember when you needed a library card and greater relative motivation to find all of the information now readily available at the whim. I still take it for granted often, and with the coming net-regulation, it may not last much longer. There's also a great deal of dis-information; everyone is suddenly a too-confident political scientist/ philosopher/ cultural myth expert, so-

[Drbolla345]

@ToroToker "Great Minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, simple minds talk about people"

[10lettername]

@ToroToker

find me a hot genius and I'll compromise.

[Fukyouimdrunk]

@10lettername like ur good enough for a hot genius

[fluorescentcentipede]

@ToroToker Sad thing it spreads like cancer and hits new generations from earlier ages.. Celebrity gossip industry is another powerful weapon for dumbing down the masses.

[HorrorVolumeOctober]

@ToroToker I was with you until you laid the blame on Americans. You sir, are an ignorant slut.

[ToroToker]

@HorrorVolumeOctober

"I don't know how anyone can deny children and teenagers, especially American ones are overly obsessed with "hollywood"

Did I say only Americans? or did I say especially americans? When your entire town gets wiped out by a flood and the national guard is called in but the next day the top news story is about beyonce than you'll understand.

[HorrorVolumeOctober]

@ToroToker you said especially emphasizing that most of the blame goes to Americans. Suck mah dick sirrrr

[bratstar1997]

@HorrorVolumeOctober & @ToroToker Both of you sound like idiots. Chill the hell out, the Video was meant to be funny, and more that just Socrates and Plato would shoot themselves in this day and age.

and yes, mostly AMERICANS (me in fucking cluded) are OBSESSED with shit that is none of our buisness. Ex A- the Royal wedding.

ANYWAYS just chill out and step back and dont analyze the video. its funnier THAT way.

[NRaduC]

@ToroToker

maybe the ones reading the tabloids are fools, but the ones writing and taking pictures for it are not, because they realized they can make profit and live of the stupidity of all those narrow-minded readers.

[TMurphProductions]

This video misrepresents how two of the greatest Greek philosophers behaved. Socrates was a man who resented all earthly desires and did not care about mundane human concerns, to the point where he did not shower and did not shave. Plato, one of Socrates' most prized students, was most likely of the same nature. Maybe they should've picked other dead intellectuals to star in the video instead of ones that make the video contradictable.

Haha and yes I am trying to sound like an arrogant prick.

[alexisnum1]

@TMurphProductions

Yes, like you we are all angry this cartoon designed for no other purpose than humour does not accurately represent Plato and Socrates.

Dumbass

[TMurphProductions]

@alexisnum1 Haha, I'm glad you see it my way as well. But seriously relax it was a joke I was trying to sound like a know it all prick, which apparently worked well.

[lexxypexxy]

@TMurphProductions

It's the irony in it.

[maidenkid84]

nah man you put it better than i could have. i'm pissed off seeing my two bros in a stupid video like this, star bucks, give me a fucking break. this is sad

[PaNtoKraToRaS]

Socrates you are a super star...:)

[thatguywiththathair]

Draged out to much.

[mahyarmohaghegh]

wouldnt socratese find a contradiction? and from there he would find the answer?

tsk tsk tsk

hahahh plato looks full out built

but tthats how he was .....

[simbot144]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!! LOL!

[MissAlainey1991]

you're a fucking god....why do you want a house in malibu :D

[Bluetail19]

Actually they are not gods, just very famous philosophers.

[MissAlainey1991]

lol thank you :)

[maxcam100]

hi hey uhm question...:do you think we fu**** care?

[L3FT4FLY]

@Bluetail19 They say in description that they are philosophers :)

[Bluetail19]

@L3FT4FLY :) I was actually commenting on someone else post who called them gods

[L3FT4FLY]

@L3FT4FLY Aha didn´t see that :)

[ALEXANDERAPOLLON]

@Bluetail19 ARE YOU INSANE ? HAVE YOU ANY IDEA ABOUT PHILOSOPHY ?

''' JUST VERY FAMOUS PHILOSOPHERS??? ''' DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE FOR THE PHILOSOPHY ?

[CosmoShidan]

@ALEXANDERAPOLLON They are two of the greatest minds that formulated our culture. For instance, Socrates came up with the idea that children should spend time with teachers while the parents worked; meanwhile Plato invented the first university ever! The magnificent Academy! Western culture would be nowhere without them!

[ALEXANDERAPOLLON]

@CosmoShidan MY BROTHER.. I AGREE 100% WITH YOU... IM GREEK, I 'M STYDING THEIR PHILOSOPHY AND I'M VERY PROUD ABOUT THAT !!!! GREETINGS FROM GREECE!! :)

[CosmoShidan]

@ALEXANDERAPOLLON Greetings from Canada! I'm of Italian descent and glad to be of the same ancestry! I too am studying philosophy in order to get in tuned with my Western origins as I have a love of Roman history, Greek history, and virtually all ancient history as a whole. On the other hand, Western civilization would not have flourished for so long for if it was not for Socrates, Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Epicurus, who pioneered the sciences, mathematics, histories, and culture! Oh yeah!

[dathingsowner]

@Bluetail19 i think they're just in heaven or wherever.

[kounelokalaburis]

@Bluetail19 they dont represent them as gods they are dead cause they read modern day stuff at mount olympus they prefered to place them at mount olympus rather than hades...

[Sileosoltice]

@Bluetail19 Gods in philosophy

[fitemil]

@MissAlainey1991

cause Magazines says its totally hot, i guess...

[PETROPOULOSGR]
