I wonder if the way that it works, you know, like speaking just down to the causality is that all of the Argentina fans in the world need to do all of their weird superstitions at the same time. And if one of us fails, like then it ruins it for everyone. I really do at some level believe it to the point at least where I will get mad at somebody else if they're not doing the thing that we agreed we had to do something like that. It doesn't feel like collective action. It feels like you have to put it on like you will have failed.
David and Tamler dive into Seneca’s “On the Happy Life” and stoicism, the topic selected by our beloved patreon supporters. Why is stoicism so popular today? What does Seneca actually think about Epicureanism? Can Seneca's philosophy be reconciled with his life as a wealthy Roman aristocrat? Are stoics too cold and detached or is that an unfair caricature? And why can’t David and Tamler fully embrace this undeniably wise approach to life?
Plus the return of… GUILTY CONFESSIONS and some favorite things from 2022.
