Why We Are Weak | The Philosophy of Epictetus Full video: https://youtu.be/p2KHo95QknkWhat matters and doesn’t matter, according to Epictetus, is bound to the reality of our place as reasonable beings in an everchanging environment. This reality Epictetus makes clear in the underlying tenet of his work: ‘the dichotomy of control.’ Some things are in our control, others not. If we manage to concern ourselves with the things in our control, we are in a position of strength. But if we neglect these things and focus on what’s not in our control, we are in a position of weakness.#stoicism #epictetus #stoic Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.

When Life is Meaningless (And Why We Feel Worthless) Why are we thrown into this world? What are we here to do? Could it be that we’re here for no particular reason and that life on Earth is nothing more than a beautiful yet meaningless coincidence?In times of religious decline, mankind is faced with the possibility that its existence is inherently meaningless. For many, this is frightening. The idea that our lives don’t matter, can be difficult to accept.To give our lives at least some significance, even if it’s just on a terrestrial level, we started to create our own meaning. So, as the humans we are, we began to define what it means to live a meaningful life. What’s worth living for, and what isn’t? What are the requirements?When we have decided what a meaningful life entails, we continue grasping for it in an almost pathological manner. Because if we fail to give our lives meaning, our lives truly don’t matter.As a consequence, many people feel that their lives are worthless. They wake up, eat, engage in their daily activities, eat, go to sleep, repeat, repeat, and repeat, as opposed to those ‘lucky few’ who have found meaning in their lives, albeit because of raising children, a socalled ‘meaningful’ job, and other activities that make their existence on this desolate tiny dot surrounded by a suffocating blackness, a bit more bearable.This video explores why we feel worthless, and the beauty and ugliness of a meaningless life (inspired by philosopher Albert Camus).Support the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Miyamoto Musashi | The Path of the Loner Part 1: https://youtu.be/bhlvYmn1IUQ Part 2: https://youtu.be/HUXEqS6GqUUMusashi’s written works expand on the ‘path of the warrior’, which is the samurai way of discipline, focus, restraint, and honor. The path of the warrior is governed by moral and ethical codes that are commonly referred to as Bushidō. Shortly before he died, Musashi compiled twentyone principles on how a warrior should live.These timeless principles known as Dokkōdō can inspire us today to live well. This threepart series elaborates on the twentyone principles from Musashi’s Dokkōdō. The first part and second part explored the first fourteen principles. This third and final part further explores the path of the warrior, based on the last seven principles.Please note, the elaborations in this video are based on existing philosophies, the author’s interpretations, and reasoning, and are intended to be an inspiration for presentday life.Support the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?

Why Stupidity is Power | Priceless Benefits of Being Stupid Loose! On Letting Stuff Go (book): https://amzn.to/3QVfrqMPeople generally fear being perceived as stupid. Often, stupid people are looked down upon and laughed at. Society perceives stupid people as useless, as a burden rather than an asset. Hence, most of us try to prevent ourselves from appearing stupid in front of coworkers, fellow students, family members, and friends.

Life is Great When It's Ending | The Philosophy of Seneca One day, Seneca visited his house in the countryside after a long absence. He was baffled about how his estate was crumbling, and the garden trees had lost all their leaves. He took it out on the landlord, who then explained that even though he did everything in his power to maintain the place, the trees and house were old. Bewildered about how fast his property had fallen apart, the reality of aging became apparent to Seneca.Video: If Today Was Your Last Day... | The Philosophy of SenecaSupport the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?
