I'm just gonna explain the "frog who rigged the lottery" line because I learned about Voltaire in school and it's the one thing I remember because I find it interesting and kinda funny.
Pretty much Voltaire and his friends did the math and figured out that the prize for the French lottery was greater than the cost for all the tickets, so they bought all the tickets. Multiple times I believe.
Sounds to me like the lottery rigged itself
"This type of arrogance is sure to be expected, from men who speak of wisdom with no clue of what respect is."
Easily my favorite line. I find this so profound for some reason.
the thing is, eastern philosophy focuses on logical thought or self improvement, whereas western philosophy varies but voltaire and nietzche were both thought provokers, voltaire was anti conformity, and nietzche was all about overcoming the difficulties of existance, so technically they knew what respect was, they just didnt care about it as to voltaire it meant conforming to society, and to nietzche it meant admitting defeat in overcoming hardships of life
“If fighting is to result in victory then you must fight!”
Sun Tsu said that!
And I’d say he knows a LITTLE more about fighting than YOU do pal, because he INVENTED IT.
@@53shelby and then he PERFECTED IT, so that no living men could best him in the ring of honor!
@@devourerofgodsfan5320 Then he used his war-money to buy 2 of every animal, herded them onto a boat, and beat the crap out of every single one!
@@volrag And then from that day forward anytime there are a bunch of Animals in 1 place is called a ZOO.

2:38 "Ubermensch? Is that because of uber?" OK, that one _physically_ hurt to hear. It literally means "super men" in German. Uber just means super
In his defense, that IS the wordplay here. "UBERmensch, 'cause I'm so _driven"_
Oh that is nice. I also thought it meant uber 😂
Why would it hurt if they made him say so driven just as well? That's just a you problem
@@SilverHairedFreak25 that... wasnt the intention tho, he wrote about how someone must work to become the superior man(ubermensch) rather than stagnate and become the more useless untermensch... thats the whole "driven" thing... not literally driving around...

'And I'll end any motherfucker like my name in a spelling bee' is one of the best single line's I've ever heard in these ERBS, but the 'beef franks' portion was fucking brilliant and make me smile every time.
I don't get the "Beef Franks" part. I only understand the "Let me be frank, don't start beef with..." part.
@Fireball12 okay so quickly:
"..beef with The Frank" : frank was a nickname for francois, his first name, and also a term used by the English for a frenchman (like americans are called yanks). Implying he is the number 1 french man.
"Who hangs with B. Frank" : Benjamin Franklin, whom he met and embraced at one point i believe.
"Giving ladies Beef Franks" : beef franks are a type of sausage/hot dog. Hes implying he fucks. Alot.

These guys STOMPED the Western boys, even before they started squabbling with each other.
technically cofusious won if we are gonna be real
@@ChrissaTodd he definitely did not.
Dude murder drones ep4 came out 6 days ago pls react to it
@@lesmolbauggete5949 He reacts to that with Kirby, which means he has to wait until they both have time to record together. Be patient.
What I love about this rap battle is that philosophy is divisive by its very nature. Even people with similar philosophies will debate about nuance. It could be argued that philosophy is the art of argument, even. So the fact that teammates turn on eachother in a philosophy rap battle is a GREAT detail to incorporate lol
What you need to know is get more the one philosopher in a room and ask one a question and then watch the chaos
"Ubermentsch" translates roughly to a superior man. Part of Nietzches philosophy is to work to make yourself an Ubermentsch rather than an Untermentsch, which would be the equivalent of an under-achiever. If you've ever heard of nihilism then that has largely been associated with Nietzche. Though his most famous sound quote is "God is dead".
Also, I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think the name Confusious translates to "wisdom of the old man", they're not sure if confusious was 1 person, or a group of people, or just an amalgamation of wisdom that they had long since lost the source.
sadly Nietzsche's work would be co-opted by a certain group of people back in 1935 led by a funny mustache man from Austria who also stole India's symbol of Peace and turned it into a symbol of Hate
so for those that didnt know, voltaire wrote somewhere around 3000 books... also he hung out with benjamin franklin when he was in france, so thats the joke there...
OMG, this video is absolutely amazing! I loved how they portrayed the clash of Eastern and Western philosophers in such a creative way. The lyrics were so clever and the rap battles were on point. I couldn't stop laughing while watching it. It's definitely a must-watch for anyone interested in philosophy or just looking for a good laugh.
Nietzsche is difficult for non-Germans to pronounce. I think the best way to try saying it would be along the lines of "nee-chuh".
In Nietzschean philosophy, the "ubermensch," or "overman," refers to the purposed higher stage of human development. Nietzche believed that through life affirmation, intense individualism, and self-improvement, any individual could rise and become a being that could change the course of human history. Ludwig von Beethoven, Alexander the Great, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe are his most significant inspirations for such a concept.
Technically no one, but I'd have to give it a tie honestly. Also I actually love the concept of them doing the other two directions of philosophers. I'm curious what you/other people would think "northern philosophers" and "southern philosophers" would look like.
Who would be on those teams?
@@HB-fq9nn That *is* the question I asked.
Theres not really many famous philosphers outside the west and east
"Asians spitting sick, but no this isn't SARS!"
Yup, that one aged well... 😎
What's SARS?
@@fireball1249 if i recall correctly its an earlier form of covid but I may be wrong on that. It was a mildly big deal years ago but didn't spread like the most recent one which also has a SARS designation. It's also an acronym having to do with the respiratory system but i don't remember the whole thing. There's a halfassed internet comment knowledge dump for ya
@@silentassason lol, hey at least you gave the information you knew off the top of your head. That's better than nothing!
@@fireball1249 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the main lung disease caused by coronavirus. The first outbreak was around 2002-2004 (the one this rap refers to). The second outbreak is the one we're all familiar with. Both originated in Asia.
6:26 "Athenian" meaning he was from the Greek City-State of Athens. Athens now being the capital of Greece.
This is definitely one of their best ERBs.
This is what actual philosophy is like XD
Ok a few things about the western philosophers .
Socrates its the father of wester philosophy , he influenced a lot of famous greece philosophers and was one of the first to speak out against people using clever retoric techniques to distort the truth and how it was a danger for democracy, his famous method was the Socratic method were when you asked him something he needled you with questions until you deduced the answer, he was condemned to die by drinking poison because he `` corromped the minds of the youth´´, his disciples tried to free him but in his mind the law was above all else so he voluntarily drank the poison.
Voltaire its one of the most influents philosophers of the modern age, he put the bases of the french revolution and the American Constitution, the values of free speech , tolerance of others ideas and everyone being equal in the eyes of the law are his.
He also was one of the first to push for taxes proportional to the wealth of the individual.
Nitzche its the one I have less knowledge about, for what I remember his whole deal was to better yourself and build yourself to the best version of yourself that you can be an ``ubermentch´´ aka a superman.
Sadly Hitler took some of his phrases and twisted them to justify his atrocities even if Nitzche would have hated him that's how its remembered.
This is one of their best battles
this is one of my favorites
The audience won.
ERB is forever sick.
If you enjoyed this, you should watch the Germany vs Greece International Philosophy Final.
In 2 weeks Stan Lee vs Jim Henson
Can't wait
Nietzsche - pronounced (NEET-SHUH)
If you were a philosopher what would your famous phrase be?
Before the Video was released at the Time, I knew of the Eastern Philosophers, but I've only heard of Socrates. I've never heard of the other 2 Western guys. I know a bit more of Nietzsche, but still know nothing of Voltaire.
Day 2 of asking for a reaction to anything by summoning salt.
Steve jobs. That’s an actual one and it’s good! Also you missed the joke at the end. What is winning, a philosophy joke question
day 37 og asking for a martincitopants reaction
I guess you’re reaching the Half-Life of Half-Life 2😂😂
Top 10 ERBs if not top 5
I think we all held the L this time around 😅
You pop questions like you haven´t attended high school.
This is one of the best ones!
