V.O. Complete. Stoicism: a philosophy of life. Massimo Pigliucci, Doctor of Philosophy

[@Diogoengbiomedica]

I think Massimo Pigliucci is probably the greatest teacher of Stoicism out there. To me he is the 'real' thing. Great interview!

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

He's a fantastic communicator.

[@ivanromero-martinez3793]

Ryan Holiday also would be up there. He's an advocate and has written many books on stoicism.

[@Diogoengbiomedica]

@@ivanromero-martinez3793 , I think Massimo is more of a teacher and philosopher. Ryan Holiday uses Stoicism as a marketing tool. I don't really relate with that.

[@bradleynichols4909]

Who is this lovely intelligent woman? Excellent interviewer,her questions are spot on and she doesn’t interrupt the answers with her own stuff. Top notch!

[@johnnyrivas4506]

I encountered stoicism about 2 years ago at the age of 29 and It definitely has changed my perspective on life. I was a christian for about 15 years of my life and to be honest stoic philosophy has helped me a lot more than religion ever has. I am not knockin on religion but yea stoicism is wisdom at its finest and has helped an ignorant man like myself see things clearer. I live here in Mexico and no one I know has any idea what it is and im like wtf why not lol

[@JosephusAurelius]

Same here, I’ve found Stoicism to be more helpful too

[@Fede_uyz]

Christianism (speicifically the Bible) although can prepare you for a good and meanigful life, its not a manual. Through intense and deep learning (much more than typical sunday morning services ever go into) one can derive a complete understanding of life. But a cursory look into the Bible will provide cursory instruction only. 'should i get drink alcohol? the plain text says no problem, just dont get drunk, so you may think drinking constantly without ever getting drunk is ok. Deep understanding will show you that you were created for a purpose, being loved and prepared for all good works. Drinking can hinder that, some may think of you differently, some may not welcome you, some may struggle with their past demons. Likewise all is good in Moderation and pretty much all is bad in extremes or if you develop a dependency. Continuous drinking is alcoholism even if you never get drunk and its negative since it affects your will and readiness to affront life. Yet a stoic would write that drinking should be in moderation and that it should never be an end in itself, but only an enjoyable moment with others. So while the Bible contains the same wisdom, preachers (and you) may not actually go deep enough to actually get to that truth, but stoic philosophers are writing basically specifically manuals on how to live.

[@MrCarloncho1978]

Stoicism must be learned since the beginning... at school. It´ll be a good way to discover alternatives, in order to handle daily situations in our lives.

Stoicism, has such applications even today, although it's origins go back over 2,000 years. A philosophy that has us ask, how can we live a better life, how can we be better humans, seems just right for todays times. It also focuses on us, and what we can do personally, which is what we have complete control over, and yet the philosophy encourages us as global citizens, and that we are social animals who should be striving to improve not just for us, but for how all of society can benefit from our personal development. Bravo Massimo!

i've just finished watching this and started crying because what he says makes so much sense to me. i'm a highly emotional person who deeply seeks for tranquility and has tried many of the techniques Massimo talks about, like taking a look from a broad perspective or not categorizing people as bad. but something was missing, and that routine, journaling and help from people who were brave enough to write and help. thank you for this interview.

[@joardima]

In my opinion, the mojo of Stoicism could be its simplicity to figuring complex things out with centuries of wisdom lessons, really an interesting and stunning topic that I will try to apply more in my daily life.

[@YouGotOptions2]

Some people would call "simplicity to figuring out with centuries of wisdom lessons", common sense.

[@Drakhpally]

It's a great interview, excellent interviewer and interviewee. One thing I have a gripe about is the claim, which comes off as an attempt to legitimize stoicism (an attempt that is not needed), by claiming that since Aquinas did X then Christianity adopted it. Aquinas is a post schism erudite, so the fact that in Judaism and Orthodox Christianity (based on Judaism) these principles existed regardless of stoicism shoots this down.

[@pepegrillo1749]

Good questions, good answers.

[@DiegoProgressive]

I think I´ve been approaching life as an estoic "unconsciously", when I am dealing with something painful or passing through difficult moments I just look up to the sky and I remember that there is a universe outside with billions and billions of stars, planets, galaxies, etc, etc. then having that idea on my mind I just come to terms and accept that my problems are not of a big deal.

[@norasullivan1964]

Discussione brillante e argomento affascinante

[@gabx7720]

Just remember that during this pandemic, perhaps Stoicism might be helpful to our pain.

[@JavierBonillaC]

“I was not particularly overwhelmed by the death of my father, my divorce and a change o jobs”??? Man, you were already a stoic before you knew it. I’d be pretty devastated by such trilogy.

I disagree with the fact that people who act badly is because they don't even realize what they're doing. What I think is that they just normalized their acts, removing the bad connotation of their actions.

[@danielpaez2877]

That was the same thing the speaker said in other words. He does not talk about ignorance in a superficial way, he talks about a deep unwisdom about the right thing to do.

[@shreder89]

the problem with doing bad things is that most people don't want to see that they are wrong in their views because they are too invested in their views and/or they are zealots. Its wilfull ignorance, that is something that no ammount of education or dialogue can cure.

Good point BUT if speediness is the problem then you could opt to just read his last book, right? So you can get his more calmed and down to earth view of this philosophy Take in count 5 years ago stoicism wasn't even near as popular as it is now.

Por qué un italiano y una española que tienen un idioma mutuamente inteligible tienen que hablar en inglés. Es una cosa absurda y que parece que viene porque lo que se dice en inglés tiene más peso, es más "cientifico". En fin, el desprecio a lo nuestro en un ámbito más.

[@david_vara]

A pesar de ser muy similares, no siempre es fácil entender a un italiano siendo español y viceversa. Si ambos tienen un buen nivel de inglés como es este caso, para agilizar la charla hablarán en ese idioma que ambos controlan. No me malinterpretes, yo también estoy de acuerdo contigo en que se desvaloriza mucho el hablar un idioma que no sea inglés, simplemente en este caso lo veo justificable

Does somebody notice he looks a lot like Walter White?

[@cosmiclettuce]

The first answer is completely wrong. If that's the basis of the conversation, there's no point in listening any further. An actual stoic embraces all things natural -- which includes ALL of the emotions in all of their beautiful colors. A stoic does not suppress some emotions and enhance others! To what end???? Wow that would be completely stupid!! A stoic understands that emotions are tools that are to be personally used, not mindlessly displayed to others. Stoics appreciate the opinion of others, but actually don't care what anyone thinks. You can't learn to be a stoic -- you either are or you aren't.
