Dar stiu ca pot incepe al 3-lea război mondial si acolo se îndreaptă toti,daca nu se opresc sa ma manipuleze si sa ma țină in jos ,va baga in război serviciul Roman de informații
Amazing! Thank you for this. I’m gonna check out your channel now..
I love your channel man, why did you stop
Stoicism is essential to current day PTSD treatment. The VA set me on the path to stoicism, although they never mentioned the actual practice.
I just stumbled across this video, super excited. I have been looking into stoicism and attempting to practice it for the last year or so.
Thank you:)
If you have read Chrysippus of Solos and the other Stoics, you will know that they do not postulate a materialistic monism but an idealistic monism. The Logos is what we call God today (or Brahma, or Ik Onkar, the One, whatever your religion), it is part of nature and the universe but that notion is a form of panentheism and not pantheism. They do not say that God "will be created or destroyed along with the universe" or anything like that. The Logos subsists to everything because it is not reduced to matter - which is its subproduct. Thank you for such an amazing video.
great video! thanks. may the force be with you.
i am really glad have found you. All of us, I think, perceived the correlation between Force and Nature since we were kid! I would ask you what do you think about the sentence of Master Yoda: "If you follow the Path of dark side, It Will dominate your Life Forever". Is it true? It seems there's no redemption if we do wrong choices. I don't know... I found this teaching a bit ambigous. What do you think? Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹 the force may be with you :)
If you follow the dark side it will dominate your life forever until you decide to take a path out of it. Then comes redemption, which is closely linked to the concept of Oikeiôsis or compassion (disalienation). The "dark side" in Stoicism is alienation (allotriôsis), which is the opposite of oikeiôsis.
Yes! Very good info/video. Please do more.
More please ✌🏼💚💪🏼
Great video, can't wait for more.
I didn't grow up religious, but Star Wars awakened something inside me that I've struggled to understand or channel. This video inspires me deeply. Even if this video has a criminally small number of views, please know that you really helped someone ❤
It's good, just be aware of nietzsche, the ideology that inspire the sith In Nietzsche ideology all should pursue ubermensch and self defeat through pain and suffering just like the sith
Nietzsche praises self mastery and understanding of one’s highest virtues and pursuit of the given virtue. Nietzsche condemns the destruction of the individual for the sake of an unattainable self- his ideal man then, is one who can reach the highest potential of one’s nature, to gain a true will to power is the ultimate form of self mastery. The real ubermench is one that does not transcends their nature but one who truly finds it.
Thank you for making this! It's exactly what I needed.
Wish I could control the inconsiderate neighbor's loud obnoxious dogs from barking, I could even hear them on this video.
Awesome video, excellent channel concept. Hope to see more from you soon!
It's a abomination to God but yet you wonder why you are where are today.
Thanks for the book recommendations! A book I highly recommend, if you haven't read it already, is the Presence Process. Very Jedi
This video is gold. Keep it up!
So grateful for your in depth dive into stoicism, I haven't heard anyone else speak about it like you did in this video, love the perspective.
So interested in your videos, grateful for you making them. I can't wait for your future videos
I probably spent a little too much time thinking about "what I would do if my favorite cup broke." I think it is a healthy practice when I manage it properly. Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it.
Haha, thanks.
thanks for all the deep thoughts! I am looking forward to your next video.
Thanks, hopefully will be out soon.
Please feel free to post questions and discussion here, thanks!
I wonder if all of these books are available in a digital format? If they are, you might think of including links.
I believe they are. I hope to come back and put links in the description once the channel is allowed to. Thanks.
The Meme Machine sounds very interesting! Any idea of where i could find it?
My channel is still too new to allow me to put links in my descriptions but I'll do that eventually. In the meantime, here's one: www.amazon.com/Meme-Machine-Popular-Science/dp/019286212X
Thanks for the reading list! I am looking forward to checking out Dharma of Star Wars. Do you know if there is a digital version?
Yes, I'm sure Amazon would have an eBook version. :)
Until seeing your video I had never thought about the philosophical ideas behind Star Wars. Now you have given me another reason to go through the series again!
Yep, I also need another reason to see all the episodes again! 😀
