Stoics are good in terms of giving a good amount of practical advice without also giving you a 12 step program or whatever. They don't pretend that it can be made that precise. I think this essay's focus is on distinguishing between Epicurean philosophy and reconciling the fact that Stoics don't live like diogenes, like in ditches.
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.
