Socrates and Lao Tzu probably hate us. I mean, we barely listen to them anymore! "Socrates and Lao Tzu Probably Hate Us: Ancient Philosophy for a Dumb World" is a podcast that takes a look back at certain passages from the different schools of Philosophy found in the Ancient period of Philosophy. In the world we face today so full of dumbassery, join me as we look towards Ancient Wisdom to help get by while realizing that...maybe we don't really have everything figured out. Hosted by Joey, a guy with a Philosophy degree who got average grades. That means he's somewhat qualified. I think.

LETS FUCK SHIT UP

This marks the start of a more irreverent podcast about Philosophy. I have decided to start having more fun with my podcasts! I used to think I'd lose the meaning of the lessons I try to give out but if you want to listen to serious Philosophy podcasts there are plenty out there!

For this episode, we talk about the life of the Buddha and how Buddhism was established. We then connect the origins of Buddhism to what (I firmly believe) Buddhism is all about: an escape from human nature.

"Do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.” - The Dalai Lama
