Episode notes

"I feel Seneca is just so detached from a commoner's reality that he writes like kind of an arrogant ass without realizing he's doing it," says author. "We shouldn't be putting these things on the back burner if we can avoid it, and we should actively seek to avoid it." He adds: "If we're not prepared for something psychologically damaging, for example, we will be more damaged by it when it comes to pass"
