The supposed misconception of epicureanism he speaks of is interestingly, and not surprising the exact definition of it. It's the opposite of Stoicism, so it is quite interesting to choose it as the yang to his yin. "I don't consider myself a Stoic, but I'm a Stoic..." This is interesting. Probably not interesting enough to watch an entire podcast of, but an interesting take on dementia if nothing else.
What he said was “I don’t consider myself a Stoic. But I consider myself an Epicurean. But I’m a Stoic, too…” Nothing about that says dementia. It’s a perfectly reasonable and nuanced thing to say. He’s saying that Epicureanism takes precedence as his worldview or life philosophy, but there are also Stoic principles he applies to his life as well. A person can consider themselves one thing, while still also being other things. It’s about what takes precedence in their identity.
