Bravo. Your each episode gives me an entry into many different books and studies that I am thankful to you and your serious hardworking which is certainly positive and creative. Love and regards
If one of the ideas of ethics part of stoicism is to accept the way everything is, like ' you have to accept the fact that you are a slave and you have to be virtuous being slave'. Again one of the main ideas of stoicism is to being reasonable. Now if i dont thing that bring a slave is neither reasonable nor virtuous rather the most reasonable thing is to protest then where does the acceptance part go?
I know this comment is 4 years old, but my take on it is that the acceptance part is only attached to things not within your control. So you are a slave, is there anything you can do about it? Are you ready to accept the possibility of death if you decide to revolt? I think it really comes down to analysing your options, or lack thereof, and either moving forward with action or acceptance. The point being; don’t just do nothing AND be mad about it.
20:16 I respectfully disagree with this. The only thing in our control are our actions, not our thoughts. For example, if they are self-depreciating thoughts, most of the times we can't stop them. However, even though they are out of our control, we have the power of action: stopping fighting with them, stopping reinforcing them, not paying attention to them. Recognizing they are there, but being indifferent.
We do have control over our mindset, how we react to certain situations. I think this is what he meant by our thought. But yea I think the environment we live in and the way we were raised have a function on how we perceive our world and our thoughts. But at the end of the day, opinions are just opinions.
I find this podcast so compelling!! Really grateful I've came across with it. Recommendations on further reading about the Hellenistic age?? The books on which these 4 episodes are based on?

"think of yourself as a foot " those examples are just wonderful
Foot analogy is a fail. Feet don't survive and reproduce according to their actions; individual people do.
Not gonna lie, this episode changed me for the best.
Im seriously not retaining as much information without the music introductions

Does acceptance entail inaction? Accept, but if an opportunity comes, try to get freedom.

Do what is right, so when bad things are spoken of you, none will believe them.

Stoicism is so great and I'm not excited!
