William (guest/co-host)

Join William Stevens, a contributor and Stoic scholar, as he dives deep into the concept of oikiosis—the recognition of what belongs to us. He and Tanner illuminate how this foundational Stoic idea applies to human connection and empathy, especially during the holidays. They explore Hierocles' circles of concern, advocating for treating strangers as kin. Personal stories highlight compassion for the unsheltered, emphasizing small, meaningful acts of kindness. Their discussion inspires listeners to volunteer gifts and skills in ways that genuinely resonate with them.
