Seneca: On the Firmness of the Wise Man

[@VoxStoica]

In case anyone's wondering who the runner is, it's David Goggins. He wrote a book "Can't Hurt Me" which I thought was pretty relevant to this topic: geni.us/CantHurtMe

[@alecmisra4964]

Odds Goggins!

[@MrMojo13ification]

I thought it was him!

I wish that the background was a picture of Seneca but i am at peace either way

[@AquanautSt1]

In my youth I read these teachings by chance. Now I KNOW these teaching through living . More than gold !

"do not quarrel with your own good nature. and until you have made your way to the truth, keep alive this hope in your minds, be willing to recieve the news of a better life, and encourage it by your admiration and your prayers. it is to the benifit of the commonwealth of man kind, that there should be someone who is unconconquered. someone against whom destiny has no power."

[@Karim-is7ew]

[@thewayfarer8849]

This is of the highest quality, I thought you were a popular audiobook author by the sound, but you've dedicated your voice to reaching more people. This has been the bedrock of what I listen to while working, thank you very much.

[@SophieBird07]

Human nature never will change. I keep listening to this to keep me centered under this current administration. Thank you!

[@adamerwin1206]

[@nickedani]

I could not help my self! Did It twice uninterruptdely! Thank You Very much! It's powerful!

[@essah4161]

What a fitting picture to use of david goggings. He has quite a stoic philosophy, for instance the mentality of not giving up on the quest of conquering his mind.

[@benbray4982]

A stoic wouldnt see any option of giving in or address it in the first place.

[@michaelleblanc7283]

As always - much appreciated !

This is awesome

Hey Vox Stoica, I love your audiobooks. Your readings are so clear and easy to understand, so I like listening to them at work. Just curious if you ever thought about reading more philosophy books like Nietzsche's Human, All too Human. I haven't seen anyone upload an audio reading of that book besides a robot recording on KZbin, and Nietzsche is always a popular subject so it would be cool to hear your reading of one of the quintessential Nietzsche works.

[@ralphmarionvicta3795]

Unfortunately, Nietzsche is against Stoicism. Virtue has no place in his philosophical system. For him, might makes right, i.e. it is force/power that decides what is right. He also advocates consequentialism, hedonism and materialism. These are all against the Stoic ideal of virtue as its own end.

[@Cocoa-mania]

This is a Stoic channel

[@elisworld2454]

@@ralphmarionvicta3795 He also went mad and died mad

[@f0ggy808]

@@ralphmarionvicta3795 Although, I agree him advocating for realities of power and consequentialism does play a role in his view of the world. I must say the statement regarding advocating for hedonism and or materialism can't be ever related to works of Nietzsche. I suggest rereading through Zarathustra, as his vocal point always had been on the importance of virtue and pursuit of higher values - rising above. Going above and beyond the human negative proclivities (quite stoic to me). Seems my friend that your passion for stoic ideas, which i share, may have clouded your perception of ideas expressed by the big moustache man.

thanks! a wonderful lecture! however I don't like the picture you've put on the right side, why a gangster picture? or whoever he is!

[@1mmafrka]

He’s an athlete you racist moron.

[@Hunter-wx7td]

1mmafrka muh racism

[@abdirahman8111]

david goggings a man who conquered his brain

[@ericwright5027]

Goggin’s is far from a gangster! He is a Navy Seal and Army Ranger. Not to mention someone that has over come far more than most will ever conceive! That picture is of him while he was running a marathon. Knowing what I know about him, I’m sure he is running said marathon with some sort of injury or broken bone.

[@DarkManBeatzUrFace]

You don't know David goggins
