I do think that as I get older and for instance, I lose more loved ones. Or just whatever, you know, the various things that happen in life that don't go your way. Did I feel like I have a better understanding sort of along the lines of what Seneca is trying to say? And if I could be that way about everything in my life, then I would feel like maybe I'm not being contradictory by saying don't get too attached.
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.
