The Profound Meaning of Plato's Allegory of the Cave | After Skool

The Profound Meaning of Plato's Allegory of the Cave In this episode we explore Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave", its connection to ancient myths, and the ultimate narrative archetype we know as the Hero’s Journey. Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" is one of the most influential philosophical concepts ever introduced, encapsulating timeless questions about reality, knowledge, perception, and enlightenment. Located in Plato's seminal work, "The Republic," the Allegory of the Cave serves as a metaphorical narrative depicting the human condition's journey from ignorance to enlightenment.The Athenian philosopher Plato (c. 428-347 B.C.) is one of the most important figures of the Ancient Greek world and the entire history of Western thought. In his written dialogues he conveyed and expanded on the ideas and techniques of his teacher Socrates.The Academy he founded was by some accounts the world’s first university and in it he trained his greatest student, the equally influential philosopher Aristotle. Plato’s recurring fascination was the distinction between ideal forms and everyday experience, and how it played out both for individuals and for societies. In the “Republic,” his most famous work, he envisioned a civilization governed not by lowly appetites but by the pure wisdom of a philosopher-king.This script was written and recorded by Agrippa's Diary.

Is Ignorance Bliss? | After Skool

Yesterday00:07:39Tap to summarize

Is Ignorance Bliss? Ignorance is defined as the state of lacking knowledge or lacking information. With the internet today, we are flooded with so much information that we can’t possibly follow it all. There’s simply too much for our senses to handle. So the short answer is YES, ignorance is bliss.Now, there is a focus for your life and if you want a sense of purpose, you will have to develop a skill or an expertise in something. This is where being ignorant will not serve you. Imagine if Steph Curry stayed ignorant to basketball? Or Conor McGregor refused to learn every single aspect of MMA? (Do you think Conor is a good example here? Tell us your thoughts in the comments)When developing a skill there are 4 stages. Unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence and unconscious competence. These are the 4 steps to becoming a master at something.For more interesting animations, please subscribe!Animation by KramGallery.comVideo clip about "practice" was Allen Iverson at an NBA Press Conference in 2015.

Where is the Line Between GOOD & EVIL? | After Skool

Yesterday00:14:00Tap to summarize

Where is the Line Between GOOD & EVIL? When we demonize something in the external world, we reveal a void in our own psyche. When we try to dehumanize another or villainize something, we only reveal our own ignorance. When we promote shame, blame and punishment, we reveal just how little we know about our own inner demons and our nature. The ones who are able to look within themselves and separate their true essence from their ego will stand as a beacon of hope for others. The ones who can emancipate themselves from ideology, tribalism, the fixation with external enemies and look within their own heart, with humility and honesty, will emerge with a heightened awareness... This is the beginning of freedom.This video features quotes from Jordan Peterson (author and psychologist), Alan Watts (philosopher), Eckhart Tolle (author), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (author) and Carl Jung (psychologist).Thank you so much for watching this video.

A Lack of Resources is NOT Your Problem - Tony Robbins Tony Robbins is an author, motivational speaker and life coach. He explains that most people believe they can't do something because of a lack of resources. They don't accomplish their goal because they don't have enough money, enough time, enough ability, etc. The most successful people don't achieve their success because resources are handed to them, they achieve success because they are RESOURCEFUL. Resourcefulness is the ultimate resource. In order to be resourceful, you must master your emotions.If you are interested in making your own whiteboard animation, visit https://www.afterskool.net/ and contact us.Please help us keep this channel running by supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkoolLastly, hit the notifications bell to see future videos.

The Buddhabrot - The Fractal Image That Unlocked Carl Jung’s Deepest Theory | After Skool

Yesterday00:20:59Tap to summarize

The Buddhabrot - The Fractal Image That Unlocked Carl Jung’s Deepest Theory A few months ago, a groundbreaking study was published that linked fractal geometry to Carl Jung's theories. I contacted Dr Harry Shirley, the author of the study, to record a podcast about his findings. The discovery has changed the way I see everything - art, myth, culture, emotions, people - it's all fractals. Numbers are the key to this riddle. Before Carl Jung died, he hypothesized the number was the link between mind and matter, because it is both quantitative to the material world AND symbolic to the psychological realm. Several decades after Carl Jung's death, mathematicians stumbled upon the Buddhabrot set, a beautiful fractal pattern. The shape formed is entirely numerical iteration, derived from a simple mathematical formula , but the image produced looks like a spirit being. Dr Harry Shirley has made an incredible connection, linking the Buddhabrot to Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes and depth psychology. We can see hints of this connection is meaningful art, alchemical images, ancient monuments and religious architecture. I have even been unknowingly summoning the Buddhabrot in my own artwork.To view the study here https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/6te7w_v1Publication here - https://brill.com/view/journals/ijjs/aop/article-10.1163-19409060-bja10049/article-10.1163-19409060-bja10049.xmlCarl Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He’s one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, especially when it comes to understanding the human mind, myth, spirituality, and the unconscious.The Buddhabrot is a mathematical fractal-a stunning visual pattern generated by iterating a simple formula in the complex number plane. It’s related to the famous Mandelbrot set, but rendered in a way that produces an image that eerily resembles a glowing spiritual figure, like a seated Buddha, hence the name.Dr Harry Shirley has a PhD in organic chemistry and research experience at University of Oxford. Now working as a consultant, he holds a personal passion for Jungian psychology and the interplay of psyche and matter.Get in touch with Dr Harry Shirley on X - @HarryS1964455 Or email -thebuddhabrot@gmail.com Support Dr Harry Shirley on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/DrHarryShirleyBackground music: Eternity by StellardroneSupport After Skool on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/AfterSkool Join the After Skool Newsletter https://www.afterskool.net/ Order After Skool shirts and prints https://shop.afterskool.net/ We cannot change the world.
