    Listened to this one on another bike ride, the best 30 miles of me life :) I would give anything to see Socrates having a dialogue with Jesus and Plato having a dialogue with Paul

      Me too! Unfortunately I go to a classical liberal arts school (St. Johns) and so many of our texts don’t have this. It really sucks because this is a school where the way dyslexics or other learning disabilities thrive. You have a lot of what our freshmen read so I’ll definitely be passing this along to as many incoming freshman as I can. Could you possibly direct me to other channels that do this? Especially ones with classical works.

      @@averylehr_ I go on the model. If the authors dead for awhile their book is probably in the public domain. So usually you can just look up the classical book and their is always an audiobook. Otherwise LibiVox recording does a lot of classical audiobooks, to answer you directly

    2:10:51 the story of Theuth discovering writing, then of Thamus explaining the limits of writing, is truly important to understand why Socrates never wrote anything, and why today’s “desk philosophers” have almost no character in the way Socrates did.

    Plato’s 4 divine Madnesses as gifts. From Apollo we get prophecy, from muses we get poetry, from Aphrodite we gain love and from Dionysus- the god of wine and theater we obtain mystic rites and relief from present hand ship.

    Could someone explain to me what the "boy" means. At first it seems that the "boy" is simply another way of saying "beloved" or the "object of love." But then Socrates seems to shift the meaning of the boy to it being a sort of "celestial object of love" from what I can tell, a "heavenly beloved." Does anyone else get that from the text, I just want to make sure that is what is meant.

    Whatever moves is a soul
    Natural union of wind and their charioteer that are all good, from good stock
    While everyone else is a mixture
    Without drivers in charge of a pair of horses
    1 horse is beautiful the other is the opposite thus chariot driving is a painful difficult business
    Now I should tell you
    Why living things are both mortal & immortal
    God is an immortal living thing that has a body & a soul
    Bound together by nature all time we must.. Please the Gods & speak accordingly
    Causality:
    Let us turn to what causes the shedding of the wings
    What causes
    What area them fall away from a soul, it is something of this sort
    Winds have power to lift up heavy things (by their nature) raise them aloft, where the Gods dwell
    They are akin to the divine which has beauty wisdom, goodness & everything nourish the souls's wing which grow best, in their presence
    But fairness & uglyness
    Makes the wing shrink & disappear
    Zeus great commander of heaven drived his "wing chariot" first in procession looking after everything putting everything in order putting everything in order
    Most extreme toil a soul will face
    When a soul reached the top they move outward & take their stand on the high reach of heaven
    Where it's circular motion carries them around, as they stand
    While they gaze upon what is outside heaven
    The place beyond heaven none of our earthly poets ever sung
    Risk is it may be you see, I must attempt to speak the truth, especially since the truth is my subjective
    What is in this place without color shape, solidity. being really is what it is, the subject of all true knowledge visible only to intelligence-the soul steersman
    Godsmind nourished by intelligence & pure knowledge any soul take it what is appropriate to it
    Delighted at last to be seen what is real & watching what is true
    Feeding on all
    We have driving need to gaze into the Gpd by memory inspired by him
    A doctrine
    Adopt his customs practices
    Train him follow God path
    Show no envy, lack of generosity
    Divide each soul into 3 2 into horses
    1 to a charioteer
    Right is well framed well jointed with higher neck, regal nose his clear is white his eyes is black he's a lover of honor, modesty self control
    "A companion to true glory Needs no Whip"
    guided by verbal command
    Other horses is crooked great jumble of limbs, with a short bull neck hug nose black skin, bloodshot nose, white eyes
    companion to wild boasts & indecency
    1:12:44
    Shaggy around the ears
    Deaf as a post
    Just as barely horse whip, & Gold combined
    When charioteer looks at eyes of love, entire soul is suffused with a sense of warmth
    Starts to fill with tingles,.. & of Desire
    As for the horses, the one obedient to charioteer is controlled by a sense of shame (prevents itself from jumping on the boy
    The other one no longer responds to the whip or the gold of charioteer
    It leaps violently forward does everything to aggravate its
    The lovers
    1:04:18
    At death they are winless, when they leave the body
    But their wings are burst into sprout, so the prize they have won from the madness of love is cosiderable
    Because they've begun a sacred journey in lower heaven may not (by law) be sent into darkness into the earth -their lives are bright & happy (as they travel together)
    Thanks to their love they'll grow wings(together) when the time comes
    1:21:13 these the rewards from lovers friendship
    They are as great as divine gifts should be
    On the other hand a non lovers companionship is diluted by human self-control: all it pays is cheap human dividends
    (& though the slavish attitude it engenders, in a friend's soul (WoW)
    Is widely praised as a virtue, it Tosses the soul around, for 9,000 years (on the earth)
    & leads it mindless beneath it
    This is theost beautiful palan Ode, we could offer as payment for our debt

    On a more serious note, as a person who is easily startled by loud sounds, (in other words, a ligyrophobe), I had to track down if the "musical people of Liguria" made awful noises. Turns out my phobia's name comes from the Greek "Ligyro," which means "sharp" in an acoustic sense. This region of the Italian peninsula, Liguria, has nothing to do with the fear of sudden loud noises.
