After months of discussing how Hbomberguy's plagiarism video is an ethical argument for intellectual property law, despite many claiming it was merely about individual behavior, I've stumbled upon a prime example that showcases the ideology I've been critiquing.
i wish i could believe Essence Of Thought was pranking their audience by complaining about *plagiarism of their screenshots* b/c that’d be actually be creative...dare i say, art-like.
i watched it, and then watched Plato Is a Bitch. My favorite part was the last 5-10 mins, including the Plato Is a Bitch song. you’re right over the target with the critique.
first year college i read Plato in Lit, Phil, and Poly Sci. there’s parts of Euthyphro i can recite. Profs dissuaded us from reading Republic which seemed odd (and really made me want to read it). Finally it was req in an upper div Poly Sci class--we basically gawked and moved on. That prof said, “I think he was old and sick when he wrote this” 😝
i remember a couple of sophomore phil students who adopted “phil king” as an identity (both from conserv religous backgrounds), and my experience was that got cleared out as soon as read eastern thought. then they were Taoist.
point being, you get one semester to have “phil king” in your bio unironically--if they don’t move off that position in the next semester something is def wrong.
BTW that poly sci prof would’ve recommended you to study under his mentors if you presented a vid like for his classes. he always let us do creative projects so they could actually be grand creative expositions that respond to the material. he would’ve LOVED YOU.
he tried to send me to Hawaii to study with one of his mentors and i just couldn’t wrap my head around living that far away from everything. i shoulda done it.

but i went to their channel and whoooboy. nope.
yeah it's such a bat shit insane set of actions to take when you watch the video
