    Marcus was a brilliant man; it's a shame that contemporary men and women of such virtue aren't leading us.
    Well done video, sir.

    Perhaps this video shall see the winds of the modern youtube algorithm pick it up. It is a very good podcast, shame the channel changed its trajectory.

    Thanks for posting this video. Over one thousand and eight hundred years later, Marcus Aurelius's words are still relevant. I like to pair his teachings together with the teachings of Epicurus.

    Excellent. What you said. Gottfried Leibniz.
    To me that is.
    Ooops, I said "is".
    I mean "is" as a compliment based on gratitude.
    Not as an ambiguous Robert Anton Wilson e-Prime reality tunnel.
    Which is also a valuable bread-crumb trail clue to those seeking to find one's way out of the dark forest. Cake.
    Or Dark Night of the Soul.
    Or Whatever.

      muzic tech the philosophy doesn't mean you can't live it up and have fun, but It's about self control of habits and ego. My dad is a stoic and has lived a very full life, yet he controls his personal lust and ego for the better of all.
