The Stoic Hi Bye Technique For Self-Control
What's missing?
The seed of courage is there. Courage full-grown is missing.
Why not call it what it is? You're talking about the Divine Flame. How do the Stoics go about the anointing?
The Stoics all certain things by many names, each to illuminate one of their aspects. They don't have an anointing.
Very well explained

Impossible when you have inconsiderate relatives, happy holidays
It's impossible when one believes it's impossible. Just ask the people who do have inconsiderate relatives and can handle the situation.
Your video just appeared in my feed. Unlike so many other "stoic" pod-casters and channels -- your content and delivery is spot on. You could be a speech / communications instructor. Thank you for the excellent content and for delivering it professionally (I was in Toastmasters decades ago and can appreciate your speaking skills). New subscriber -- Thank you.
@@patrickgrengs7594 thank you for your feedback. I’m happy to have you as a subscriber.
The most important relationship is with God❤
@@damienlinnell6627 and what would you say happens to someone who fails in their relationship with God?
FROM TODAY YOUR MY ENGLISH TEACHER 🖤
Applying these into reality and doing the work leads to amazing results.
I've been through so many break-ups in my time (going through one right now) but it's never fun. I'm used to it and I know what to do.
Hello David. Please be stoic, get a microphone brother.
I heard him perfectly fine.🤔
Thanks!
Can a beginner understand its contents & language??
Yes, you will understand enough to get a rough idea of the meaning of Stoicism.
Keep this up
I certainly will.
@@highperformancestoicism8263 Cool, Nice to meet you by the way
@@Charivers it's my pleasure. By the way I have a FB group on Stoicism and high performance, just in case you're interested: highperformancestoicism.com/fb
@@highperformancestoicism8263 Sure I will get in touch with you friend Did you do the videos yourself?
@@Charivers yes I did.
That's likely a good one considering its length. Personally, I feel an overview to Stoicism might be best for people who are completely ignorant to the topic. I remember trying to read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and being so confused, but after I read How To Think Like A Roman Emperor by Donald Robertson and The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday, Aurelius was much more accessible. Do you teach your classes any overview stuff or do you stick with primary sources?
I have my students read primary sources. Confusion and grappling with the texts is part of the process of learning and growing toward wisdom. There are passages that aren't easy to understand for anyone at first contact. Then in class I explain the whole and whatever needs to be added, given their views. Here's my introduction to Stoicism: vip.highperformancestoicism.com/pog
Great very interesting!
Thank you. I appreciate it!
Wow very well explained!
Thanks. I appreciate you!
Learning something new from you today. Have downloaded your article and will read it shortly. Thanks, David.
Thank you, Say! Let's keep the discussion going.
Great video, David! Stoicism needs to make a come back. Looking forward to what other topics you have planned. Subbed 😎👍
Thank you so much, Top-Notch. So happy to have you as a subscriber!
Great sir.... Massive respect... Good content and your channel itself is a testimony of your stoic mindset . I am 21 past 2 years trying to get even 1 % of what i read and on surface i seems stoic but at core i am not , there are somethings that still bothers me even though they shouldn't . As of now my career its not taking off i am not failing but also not succeeding i am just flowing , learning a lot though about failures, friends, family, about myself .I hardly comment but out of respect for your dedication i did and now after wasting all day watching web series or that now i am feeling light and can go to a good Night sleep and Great morning ahead. And I just subscribed.
Thank you for your comment, Aditya. I understand exactly what you are experiencing. We think certain things *shouldn't* bother us but they do. As with all things, developing a Stoic internal skillset takes time, but because the standards are very high, to achieve what the Stoics describe as ideal takes some more time. I would like to help you with your understanding of Stoicism and also with your practice. Please consider joining my FB group here: highperformancestoicism.com, where there is daily content and discussion with others who want to be high performers. And if you would like you can email me directly for coaching and consulting here is the address: dkaspar@highperformancestoicism.com. Lastly, thank you for subscribing to my channel.
@@highperformancestoicism8263 Sorry sir I don't use Facebook . But uses Telegram So you can make a Group and Add lile minded individuals.
@@Aditya-pz7ux I understand. We all have our preferences of social media.
Reminds me of "antifragility". Rather than just being robust or resilient against adversity, one improves
Yes. Stoicism, properly understood, is antifragile...even though Nassim Taleb says otherwise in the book of that name.
Yes. My favourite Seneca quote: "Philosophy teaches us to act, and not just to speak. It demands of everyone that he should actually live by his own standards, that his life should not be out of harmony with his words, and that his inner existence should be of one hue, and fully harmonious with all his outer activities. This, I say, is the highest duty and the highest proof there is of real wisdom--that deed and word should be in accord, that a man should be equal to himself under all circumstances, and that he always should be the same." (Epistulae Morales I, 135 Trans. Richard Gummere)
That is indeed a beautiful passage and provides a much fuller picture of what it means to live in harmony with oneself. Thank you for sharing it, Korey!
Brilliant explanation. Thank you.
Thank you!
The Stoics had nothing against people becoming wealthy and powerful, to clear that up A good life can be lead by someone wealthy and powerful. Also A good life can be lead by someone abjectly poor and without influence. Neither poverty nor wealth are any measure of a good life, and a life lived well in poverty is superior to any life at all lead in the pursuit of luxury for its own sake.
Almost everything you say captures the Stoic view well. I would amend one point you make to read: Neither poverty nor wealth in itself is any measure of a good life.
Ok
Makes sense! Sometimes it can be difficult to prioritize that "one thing", especially if it's a puzzle with many interdependent variables...
Yes, it can be difficult to determine your daily priority. The priority I am discussing here is more abstract, and concerns your long-term project and your craft. How would you define your craft?
@@highperformancestoicism8263 great question! I consider my mission to inventory problems and collect solutions to make the world a better place. My craft for that ought to be to lead and inspire people to learn, align, and take action.
@@oliver_siegel Problem analysis leader. Does that capture what you do and aspire to be?
@@highperformancestoicism8263 that's a very concise, fitting description! Thank you!
@@oliver_siegel You're most welcome. I'm so glad that works!
2:00 “How We Should Argue” being about political discourse doesn’t sound very Stoic to me. Politics is the antithesis of virtue, and government is the antithesis of evolution. Evolution is driven by natural selection which requires competition provided choices while government, by definition, restricts choice by removing competition. As government grows larger, more choices go away. Democracy is not the only solution to disagreement, and it is far from the best option. Ideological segregation is the most natural, moral, and efficient option. This is how the brain develops as well as every other large and functional system. The only need one has for laws is to impose their will on those who disagree. By associating with those you agree with, laws become definitions of the society that has adopted them. This decentralization automatically cures issues like mass incarceration by allowing the individual an opportunity to move to the society that best fits their worldview. Political argument results in one party begrudgingly accepting terms they disagree with and forced to abide by them through threats of force or actual force. Failing to meet the contractual obligations of a law is what results in mass incarceration of non-violent offenders. Expulsion, rather than incarceration, would relieve the offended society from expending resources on “humane punishments” that only enrich jailers. It would also preserve MOST of the offending individual’s freedom, limiting only the societies in which they can live. This preservation of freedom also keeps families intact. Both of your eyes provide two different two dimensional images of the world. Even though the images are not in agreement, the brain has learned to reconcile the DIFFERENCES between the conflicting images and acquire a THREE dimensional understanding of the world that each perspective is incapable of on their own. Arguing to exclude some worldview over the others only serves to limit society’s understanding of the world to lower and lower dimensionalities of understanding. Allow and inspire people to find those who think the same as they do and congregate. By segregating ideologically, every group can be freed to build the society they envision without wasting time and effort trying to convince others or others imposing their will on them. Should a society prove the worth of their ideas through example, then other societies will be free to emulate, or adapt those ideas as they see fit. Ultimately, Stoicism is about Natural Order, and politics is antithetical to Natural Order.
The Stoics believed that one should participate in public life and in politics, unless there was a good reason not to. The Stoics disagreed with and argued with Skeptics, Epicureans, and any other philosophers who were around. That is part of how the Stoics came by and developed many of their distinct doctrines. That said, I don't believe Scott's book you mention is supposed to be Stoic. Also, I believe the idea of the book is 'since you are going to be disagreeing with others about politics, here's how you ought to do it' rather than 'go out there and start arguing with people!'
@@highperformancestoicism8263 What is the purpose of politics? In my eyes, it is the process of establishing laws to mold society. What stoic believes that laws should dictate what individuals do? I agree with participating in public life, but that has absolutely nothing to do with imposing one’s will on others. That’s the path that leads to executing men like Socrates.
@@highperformancestoicism8263 Ultimately, disagreement in politics has two main outcomes: the party in power imposes tyranny on the other OR people segregate based on their opinions. The first option is politics/tyranny whereas the second option is freedom.
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thank you, Mike!
Thank you. Very much enjoyed this.
Thank you, Mark. I really appreciate it!
What is "Up to Us" is not what Scott Aiken is talking about at all.... It is a proper rookie error... Also the Stoics didn't have an idea of a "Will" at all, that comes later in history...
Thank you 🙂
You are welcome, Jamila!
Nice video
Do you have any recommendations of books on stoicism? I'm interested in understanding the philosophy more deeply and contrasting it with aristotelianism. Great video as always.
Thank you, Goncalo. I appreciate it. My recommended way to get started is (1) Enchiridion by Epictetus (translated Nicholas White), (2) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (translated Maxwell Staniforth), (3) Stoicism by John Sellars (the best short introduction to Stoicism). (1) and (2) get better the more you read them, the more you understand Stoicism. It's remarkable.
@@highperformancestoicism8263 Thank you. Looking forward to reading those books and watching more of your videos
This is awesome, really clear, concise. Thanks this was a great resource for the rap I just dropped about stoicism on my channel.
Thank you!
I don't get the connection between us wanting many different things and the idea that we should be content with the short term results of our rational actions. Also, I don't really understand what it means to say that reason forms a closed system with its results. What does "closed" mean in this context? Thank you. I love these videos
Thank you, Goncalo. On the first point, we do want many different external things in life. If we think about the actions we take to get them, in terms primarily of the things, then mentally, we are going in different directions after different things out of our power. Our thinking, you could say, would be 'open system thinking'. So the standard by which we evaluate our action would include, not just the working of reason, but also whether we get the thing. If we alter our thinking about such actions, and consider them in terms of what reason prescribes, we have simplified our understanding of what we are doing. Also, for whatever reason prescribes, if it is within our power, and we do it, we have succeeded. So attaining the external object doesn't enter in as part of our standard for evaluating our actions.
Great video!
Thank you, Goncalo!
