Glass Box Podcast

Since this is another Huge Niblet episode, we decided to talk a little bit about philosophy. More importantly, we discuss Diogenes the Cynic and what the philosophical meaning of the word “cynic” is. Then we cover 3 chapters in Approaching Zion, all while keeping the question, “Was Hugh Nibley a modern day cynic?” in mind.  Show notes:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynicism_(philosophy)#cite_ref-dudley5_8-0 https://www.worldhistory.org/article/740/the-life-of-diogenes-of-sinope-in-diogenes-laertiu/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeCKQnWogxI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EM_cfYcDjY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xl_7Ivi2og Sword of Laban:  Approaching Zion, by Hugh Nibley    Pages from Hopi History by Harry C James: https://archive.org/details/pagesfromhopihis0000jame    The False Gods We Worship, by Spencer W.
