Almost two years ago I had a little dog that my husband and I spoiled rotten. He went on trips, was fed well, would share evenings looking at the stars with us. Then a few days after his 8th birthday he had an allergic reaction to a flea medication and died. After almost drinking myself too death I found stoicism. Quit drinking and understood that the world can literally throw a piano at you out of nowhere. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I found it when I did, because this is some shit storm that we going through right now. Ty for the video.
Thank you for opening up Grace! Great to connect
Modern Wisdom It was the first time I shared it, so I appreciate your response. I am also a huge fan of Alain De Botton, and I would love to hear that story about Fortuna, would you be ever so nice to direct me to that bit of wisdom.
❤
Haven't listening to the podcast in about a month or so but glad I'm back. Always learn something new each time I listen.
Ahhh thank you Gail 🙏 We’ve missed you
Wow, amazing how much you've changed and how much of you has always been there
Why does this conversation only have 96 likes and 2800 views? Holy crap this is a great conversation. Fantastic message and a truly remarkable episode. So glad I took the time to watch this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I enjoyed listening to it a lot. This got me reflecting on other books I've read before. I just recently finished the book 5 second rule by Mel Robbins and I feel like the Stoic approach vs the 5 second rule approach is like System 1 and System 2 thinking mentioned in the book Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. (edit: I wrote this comment while listening around the midpoint and it's funny that the book was mentioned in the 2nd half ^^)
I hope I can actually practice the things that Professor Massimo discussed since I've been struggling to curb splurging and impulse doing of a lot of things recently in an attempt to drown out sadness. Anyway, I might've said too much but I just wanted to say thanks again for making these super helpful videos. Cheers!
You have inspired me to go read more about the stoics!
Epictetus sounds like he might know a thing or two...
Thanks guys!
Please have Dr. Pigliucci back on to talk about his extension of the modern synthesis and phenotypic plasticity research.
This needs more views!
Nice video guys really enjoyed watching it :)
Hey I’m from the diary of ceo, i love the way you talk❤
2,000 views? Very underrated channel, hope it changes soon.
We're getting there, thanks!
Love from India.,❤️
I'm pulled between stoicism and existentialism. Jordan Peterson would be a great guest to discuss it. Good conversation mate
I’ve never looked into existentialism, where should I start Graeme? Any videos about?
@@ChrisWillx this is a video giving some back ground to existentialism and the more famous existentialist thinkers. JBP does a comparison of existentialism against other schools of thought such as phenomenology and how they shape human thought and personality. All his lectures are worth checking out.

@@ChrisWillx here is another lecture on Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the book 'the Gulag Archipelago'. That book changed how I view the world. It makes you appreciate what you have.
