So this is the power of philosophy...

Does anyone have any GOOD experiences trying to talk to this dude? Every time I see him in the comments of his philosophy videos he is arguing with people. He followed me on twitter and then when I agreed with him on something he absolutely lost it at me. Seems to be a rage-aholic, and not at all open to discussion

Reminder that this is the end result of starting with the Greeks.

Why did you all turn on Dr Sadler

Retard

How can one read and study as much as Dr Sadler has yet still hold the same political and religious views that are widely accepted in the current milieu? Namely classical liberalism, indifferentism, LGBT acceptance etc. Is it just because he is an academic? I see this in Steve Donoghue as well, who has read thousands of books yet still uncritically holds to mainstream beliefs on everything.

18 minutes in - moderates are actually right wing. What did Doctor Gregory B. Sadler mean by this?

Childhood is watching Peterson videos. Adulthood is watching Dr. Sadler videos.

For me, it’s Dr Gregory B. Sadler.

What went wrong bros?

He has a PhD in philosophy, and spent many years as a faculty member at Ball State University publishing papers, and teaching classes. Something you will never do. I'm sure you'll pretend that because he received an education and worked for a school that isn't the most elite of the elite, you're somehow better than him. But of course, you neither have a PhD from any school, nor will you ever teach a single class. Dr Sadler came from a working class background, and elite schools are socioeconomic class exclusionary.

Secondly, he runs a successful business that does consulting, and makes money on patreon doing something that's just a hobby to him. Unlike you, he isn't a wageslave that has to listen to a boss, because he is his own boss. Further, he currently teaches philosophy classes at a number of small schools in the Milwaukee area, which is again, much more than can be said about you. He would be a professor at a larger school, if philosophy departments around the US hadn't had their funding slashed, as the culture has become more and more capitalist.

Finally, in regards to his appearance, he's a man in his 50's with a family. Because you are a loser, and also a child, you can't understand what it's like to be restricted for time to to exercise, and to have more important things in your life than staying "cut and lean" (since you're posting on 4chan, you probably rarely have sex with women anyway, unlike Dr Sadler, who in his younger days had many girlfriends.)

All in all, I'd say that you're a loser, and he's a winner, and your disrespect for him is just a petty resentment, because you see a man that's worked hard and achieved a lot in his life, when you have nothing.

Uhmm Hello - Based Department?

>stares philosophically

Everything I know about philosophy, I learned from him.

why have you forgotten him? He will lead you away from the pseudointellectualism, he will lead you away from lazy, juvenile, narrow, and stupid thoughts that populate this board..

Two years ago I fell for the >start with the greeks meme. My advice: If a book is boring to you, then you aren't going to retain any knowledge from it. Therefore it's not worth reading as a precursor to other books. You're just turning pages and wasting time. Charts aren't a checklist where you get badge at the end indicating you're an expert.

If you still want to learn about Ancient Greece start with Iliad or Odyssey and only use Mythology as a reference when you want to dive deeper into a topic.

I would just like to take the time to thank this man for all the good that he does.

I am reading all of the books and watching all of the lectures in Dr. Sadlers Intro To Philosophy play list. Will this give me a good base of philosophic knowledge or is it a waste of time. I might major in phil.
