I hope you get to do a segment on Stoicism alone. Mainly: Marcus' Meditatons, Seneca's Letters From A Stoic, and Epictetus' Enchiridion. As always great video Coach! I'm glad I asked you about Stoic Philosophy.
I saw your clip on Joe Rogan about not working out to exhaustion, emphasizing the importance of gradually building strength day by day rather than pushing to the point of exhaustion and needing extended recovery. Would you apply the same principle to practicing sports like basketball or soccer? Most coaches advocate practicing with game-level intensity, so I’m curious how your approach aligns with that.
Stoicism has offered an outstanding abundance of actually useful personal guidance when compared to traditional religion. It’s not a religion. In the modern age, many people cling to the religion of their own people as an exercise in and homage to their identity.
In regards to nature being a concept in our minds: That can be said about everything... There is a nature to lions eating meat and spiders making webs...
What is this 4 minutes of nonsense? First talking about Marcus Aurelius' wive then suddenly (terrible cut) talking about "nature" as if it is some esoteric concept. “Nature” generally refers to the physical world and its phenomena - everything from ecosystems and wildlife to weather patterns and geological formations - apart from human-made environments. Even if some argue “nature” doesn’t exist as a discrete category, the consistent observation of non-human phenomena and processes supports the term’s practical usefulness, distinguishing it from mere social constructs.
He is describing the concept of nature from the point of view of a philosopher not a scientist. The two disciplines have different goals when they come to what they are trying to understand. Philosophers are often time trying to understand the nature of reality and scientists are trying to measure the physical world so they create concepts to help identify what they are measuring and testing.
Let me establish the source of “Transcendental apperception”. Quran(only scripture with 100% preservation/accuracy) says:”Allah:there is no deity worthy of worship except he”:The Neccessary life/consciousness,sustainer of life/consciousness.” Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”)that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology(abiogenesis) via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”. Limited/Imperfect Consciousness can only stem from Necessary Consciousness (Allah-One/Indivisible/All-Loving/Self-Sufficient Infinite Perfection)…..
Love your channel. I really wish you would have a second channel devoted to philosophy and theology. Thanks for all you do!
What a great idea

He thinks Marcus Aurelius was the “inventor” of stoicism?

Is man and his nature not natural, then?
