Alas, I wish Marcus was correct yet history tells me, dead wrong is closer to his truth.
I entered the world with System 1 thinking, reinforced by every step since. My only solace lays in the art of being interested. No interest, no opinion.
Speak among yourselves, I checked out words ago. There is no avenue by which I can be drawn in. Yet in full blown S1 mode, the famous lyrics of Freddy Mercury holds true, Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time. I’m having a ball.
So grateful for these updates! They’ve really helped shape and illuminate for me some of my personal concerns and worries around social media and my instinct to move towards a more Stoic approach to life. Curious, do you have a translation of Aurelius’ meditations you’d recommend as a starting point, over others? Thanks!
Thanks, Marc! The most modern and accessible version is probably Gregory Hays. Our edition will be shipping in 1-2 weeks, and is also updated based on the better older translations, which in my opinion are George Long and Farquaharson, both good in different ways.
