Physics and the Structure of History 

I won't keep posting these, RIP Professor, you are learning quite a bit more now. I'm extremely grateful for Professor Sugrue bringing wisdom to those of us who haven't had the college education we wanted. Still learning and won't ever stop.

🙏I’m so SAD to learn that this beautiful, wonderful, amazing Professor passed away in Feb. Perhaps this is how I came across his video on my feed recently. I have been watching his lectures. I wish he was here to explain what is happening to us today. I mean in US and the world. Would love to have heard his ideas. I’m sorry he suffered with cancer. Perhaps this why his mouth is so dry, from side effects of treatment. I’ve been there and still struggle with dry mouth daily. Rest in Peace wonderful Teacher.❤

This was posted just a month ago, saddened to learn that he passed away earlier today. RIP Dr Sugrue, you have inspired many.

So glad you’re starting to feel better! I’m not particularly religious, but sending all the positive energy I can muster your way. We still have so much left to learn from you and the world needs a voice like yours now more than ever. Can’t wait to read your book as well.

Rest in Peace Dr! I just encountered you in my life and now I can't believe your gone. Eternally grateful for your lectures and knowledge, it has transformed my understanding of everything for the better

So, sad to hear... I enjoyed these, and you will be missed Dr... Thank you.

Wealth of knowledge, miss him.

Professor Sugre, we love you, and you give your all. Thank you, with all my heart.❤

Thank you Dr. Sugrue. You introduced me to philosophy, you made learning fun again. When I found your channel, I was skipping university and abusing prescriptions. I started to watch your channel every day as I was rediscovering myself and coming to grips with my problems. You inspired me to finish my bachelor’s degree, Im getting my last few courses this winter. I never had a father and you seemed like a good role model haha. I found god for a while and now I have a very complicated relationship with faith, but its enriched my life significantly. Ive gone on enough about myself, the point is, you’ve touched my life more than you could have ever known. Thank you for everything, you will be missed. Thank you Gen for this channel and the opportunity to see this side of your father, good luck to you going forward

Stay strong Professor, I pray for your well being and recovery, I get so much from your knowledge, wisdom and spirit, eternally grateful for all your contributions.

Professor Sugre, I recently started listening to your lectures and I’ve learned an unbelievable amount. You are truly a gifted teacher. Praying for your health and wellbeing. God Bless.

So sad to hear of Dr Sugrue’s passing. What a wonderful teacher.

RIP Dr. Sugrue. Truly a great orator and intellectual. May his soul rest in peace.

Rest well, Dr. Your lectures are such a gift!

Since this video was published 13 hours ago, I have listened to it 5 times. Here are just two small ways this lecture 'blessed' me. First, I consider Sugrue a role model not just because he taught and inspired so many students, is considered an intellectual giant, and combines witty humor with deep penetrating insights, but mostly because of my admiration for his tenacity. It is rare to witness someone so dedicated to his craft. Second, this lecture helped reveal a pattern. Surgrue never let go of his initial "a-ha" moment while thinking about the challenge of writing a course on world history as he walked through the John Hopkins Library. Certainly, the vicissitudes of professorial life (grading papers, updating syllabuses, and teaching recalcitrant undergraduates) delayed actualizing or bringing to fruition what was originally planted in his soul as a post-doc adjunct, core passion. Still, nevertheless, thanks to RU-vid, his daughter, and some of his disciples, we get to enjoy another stellar lecture. Today you gave us the outline for your book on World History. It may not be enough, but at least we could theoretically make a table of contents for your book now. THANK YOU!!!!

On to the next life/character/challenge. R I P

I hope your health improves, Dr. Sugrue! You have given so much to me and so many other people.

Just finding out, crestfallen. Mr. Sugrue thank you for sharing your brilliant mind with us you have made countless many better for it. Godspeed

Glad you are feeling better.

Hope you're well Michael. Praying for your recovery. I've learned so much from you man.

42:20 I love how delicately you choose your words. I feel exactly the same way when I try to talk about this particular and very important topic.

live long and prosper Dr. Surgrue 🤟

Sir around 4th century-3rd century BCE India also had a scientific revolution. For example, Charaka's books on medicine.

This man was so important to me I'm devastated. But glad to have found his voice and what it communicated.

Bless you Dr.

One of the best professors and explainers out there, period! Thank you for sharing your gift to us all!🥳💪🏼🤓

Dr. Sugrue is a true educator. Eloquent and impartial, while also being incisive and impactful.

Best lecturer on youtube hands down. Your lectures have become the standard I hold all other's too and because of that I will be eternally unsatisfied and am ironically perfectly content with that.

Love to see that you’re feeling better! Sending you only the very best!

Doctor, you're a machine lately!

He is a good person

Thank you professor ...always.

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to provide these lectures Dr. Sugrue!

Sending my prayers. I love watching your videos.

This is a topic I wanted to request you many times but never did. I noticed you always mentioned it in your talks and was intrigued by the theory behind it. Thanks for taking the time and hope you get better

It took me 27 years to find your lectures/ work, thank you for your contribution to educating society. I find your lectures quite illuminating.😁 Live long and prosper, friend🖖

*This has been one of my favorite videos on this channel* 13:20

I prayed for you today.

you are much more a Philosopher than these self claimed philosophers of our time. i have to mention an example Juval Nuh Harari. i just had to

👍👍

I learned about you via the shaman, may you rest in peace oh wise one

🙏

Professor Frink Professor Frink, He'll make you laugh, he'll make you think

RIP😢😢😢

Rip😢

Dr. Segue, May God heal you, and guide you. Sickness is allowed as a course correction, to move the individual toward worshipping God Alone, and, paying for previous sins. The whole point to life is to provide a record of utterances and actions that proves beyond lip service that you know that God alone is doing everything.. Seek God's (the Father's) kingship over you and the rest follows. Psalms 91 explains the mechanism.. I hope and pray for a full recovery for you. Peace.

This man is gltich in the Matrix

(This is a criticism of the ideas themselves, not Dr. Sugrue) 13:33 Yeah, totally superfluous. This Machiavellian, consequentialist, Just World Fallacy BS, is the most destructive idea to ever come out of Greek philosophy, and perfectly proves the point the Sophists were exemplifying; people with no understanding of the natural world will totally latch on to terroristic ideologies like The State if it sounds good and is useful to them 13:59 Yeah I'm sure Aristotle would've totally believed some men are "natural slaves" if he had been a slave himself. Philosophy really is a scourge

This one's about chrysalises. And, -either,- physiology -or-hylomorphism?- If there's a difference
