ILN EP 54: Heraclitus

Pat was feeling weepy so Ben reveals to him the obscure, emo-ass teachings of "The Weeping Philosopher" AKA Herclitus. In the much anticipated 3rd installment of our Peabody Award Winning Greek Triple Stack Series, the WisdomBois cover the Pre-Socratics, a crew of ancient, diner-owning Greeks who planted the seeds of Western philosophy & science before Socrates even hit puberty. In Part 1, Ben tells Pat about the mystical philosophy of Heraclitus, who believed the only constant in life is change and nothing is permanent. Tweeting mystical nuggets of wisdom a century before Plato, this puto baffled the classical Greek philosophers that came after him with what many consider to be the best answer to Buddhism the West has to offer. Everything flows, bitch.
