Episode notes
The speaker acknowledges the value of different religions and their teachings but emphasizes the challenge of cognitive dissonance within religious worldviews. This challenge led the speaker to repeatedly turn to philosophy, desiring to be a free thinker and not tolerate cognitive dissonance. The speaker notes that religious communities often have stronger commitments to not questioning certain beliefs, whereas in philosophy, there is greater freedom to think critically and learn from tradition while maintaining independent thinking. The speaker suggests that many others may share this desire for unified training and connection to tradition, which they find satisfied by stoicism.
