In this podcast, I intergrade philosophical questions and history. I believe to understand what we need to make us better people we need to know the past. So I went as far back in history to explore the whys and the hows. This is the beginning of a small series on Mesopotamia.

Listen to an idiot ramble.

This Episode, is my first declared official episode and I hope you enjoy it, I breifly cover Mesopotamia, and the beggining of modern western philosophy with a breif discreption of symboloc logic, brought to you by Youtube. What Is My Philosophy After listening to my show I hope you walk away with something, something you didn’t know before. I am hoping to enlighten you and expand your knowledge. We will be beginning to do a word of the podcast and this podcasts word is Anisotropy -is the property of being directionally dependent, which implies different properties in different directions, as opposed to isotropy. Anisotropy is most easily observed in single crystals of solid elements or compounds, in which atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in regular lattices. Applied to substances whose optical or other physical properties vary according to the direction from which they are observed I-tunes decided that my content is philosophy Why? Perhaps it’s because it’s about nothing? What is philosophy? The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. the study of the theoretical basis of a particular branch of knowledge or experience. What is my philosophy Life is beautiful, Fuck society Knowledge is my gold grail Quote Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe - Albert Einstein The History of Astronomy Astronomy is the oldest practice of all natural science’s As we all know Early cultures identified celestial objects with gods and spirits. Since 1990 our understanding of prehistoric Europeans has been radically changed by discoveries of ancient astronomical artifacts throughout Europe. Bone sticks from locations like Africa and Europe from possibly as long ago as 35,000 B.C. are marked in ways that tracked the moon's phases The origins of Western astronomy can be found in Mesopotamia, the "land between the rivers" Tigris and Euphrates, where the ancient kingdoms of Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia were located in modern days roughly corresponding to most of Iraq plus Kuwait, the eastern parts of Syria, and regions along the Turkish-Syrian and Iran–Iraq borders. Widely considered to be one of the cradles of civilization by the Western world, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires, all native to the territory of modern-day Iraq. In the Iron Age, it was controlled by the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian Empires. The Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire. From Sumerian times, temple priesthoods had attempted to associate current events with certain positions of the planets and stars. This continued to Assyrian times, when Limmu lists were created as a year by year association of events with planetary positions, which, when they have survived to the present day, allow accurate associations of relative with absolute dating for establishing the history of Mesopotamia. The Babylonian astronomers were very adept at mathematics and could predict eclipses and solstices. Scholars thought that everything had some purpose in astronomy. Most of these related to religion and omens. Mesopotamian astronomers worked out a 12-month calendar based on the cycles of the moon. They divided the year into two seasons: summer and winter. The origins of astronomy as well as astrology date from this time. During the 8th and 7th centuries BC, Babylonian astronomers developed a new approach to astronomy. They began studying philosophy dealing with the ideal nature of the early universe and began employing an internal logic within their predictive planetary systems. This was an important contribution to astronomy and the philosophy of science and some scholars have thus referred to this new approach as the first scientific revolution.[22] This new approach to astronomy was adopted and further developed in Greek and Hellenistic astronomy In Seleucid and Parthian times, the astronomical reports were thoroughly scientific; how much earlier their advanced knowledge and methods were developed is uncertain. The Babylonian development of methods for predicting the motions of the planets is considered to be a major episode in the history of astronomy. The only Greek Babylonian astronomer known to have supported a heliocentric model of planetary motion was Seleucus of Seleucia (b. 190 BC).[23][24][25] Seleucus is known from the writings of Plutarch. He supported Aristarchus of Samos' heliocentric theory where the Earth rotated around its own axis which in turn revolved around the Sun. According to Plutarch, Seleucus even proved the heliocentric system, but it is not known what arguments he used (except that he correctly theorized on tides as a result of Moon's attraction). Babylonian astronomy served as the basis for much of Greek, classical Indian, Sassanian, Byzantine, Syrian, medieval Islamic, Central Asian, and Western European astronomy.[26] Philosophical argument In philosophy and logic, an argument is a series of statements typically used to persuade someone of something or to present reasons for accepting a conclusion I think, therefore I am. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOs0DqHXqY

This is hopefully one of the last few podcasts I do, rambling about nothing. I just wanted to recap the journey of the first month. I found my niche, I came out of my skin, and now I have a voice. Thank you if you listened.

Don’t Listen to this idiot
