  • If we don't master the present, future plans are pointless (#28)
    Jan 6 2023

    We're kicking off the new year with a cool quote from Alan Watts. It's about the future and the present and why we so often fail when looking at both.

    Also, my – hopefully– stoic thoughts on the PR battle between Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg and everything that is still attached to it, from body shaming to left-wing Stockholm PR agencies to Romanian pizza boxes.

    Mastering scary situations (#146)

    At some point, scary situations await each of us – at the doctor's, after an accident, before an event that frightens us.

    How can we deal with situations like these better? From a stoic point of view? What stoic techniques can we use to control our thoughts and emotions? How can we be more serene?

  • Stoics and Disappointments (#25)
    Dec 2 2022

    Stoics and Disappointments (#25)

    Disappointments are a normal experience, at least if we're not a stoic. Disappointments appear to be caused from the outside, but are more of an internal process. We look at a listener's question and consider what a stoic answer might look like.

  • Are Stoics rebels or statists? (#024)
    Nov 18 2022

    Many people think Stoics have to constantly improve the world or even support the state/government. One reason: many conduse "society" and "state". Another: Ignorance of Stoic history.

    Stoics were  persecuted and banished by those in power even in ancient Rome. Small wonder,  the absolute emphasis on virtue is always dangerous for those in power and undermines state authority.

  • The difference between good and bad feelings (#022)
    Oct 28 2022

    Most philosophies (and religions, for that matter) will tell you that you kind of have two souls within you: a decend or good one, and an evil one – which you would then have to fight. Not so Stoicism.

    Furthermore, the antique Stoics set up a binary system of feelings. A concept that may be very helpful for some of you.
