You're a PhD philosophy, right?

So stoicism.

First time, you know, when some of these things had an influence of my life,

stoicism was one of them.

When I read Marcus Aurelius Meditations, I had my sons read meditation.

It's a phenomenal book.

You know, out of all the writings, everything,

the only thing they could find is meditations

because they burned the stuff.

I don't know what happened with the history of it.

And I got really connected with stoicism.

Who was Epictetus?

Epictetus, right?

And can you tell me, one, the history of how stoicism came about and in your opinion on stoicism for young men? Yeah, so the history of how Stoicism came about and in your opinion on Stoicism for young men.

Yeah, so the history, kind of a philosophy, Greek philosophies.

You got Socrates, right, right?

He's the number one.

And then his disciple, Plato, and then Aristotle.

So those are your three.

And Aristotle disciple, Alexander, the great, the great, you know, king emperor.

So that kind of sets you up sort of what's going on. Socrates and Plato are a little bit more emphasized on the forms and the heavenly realities. Aristotle's a little bit more on the integration of form and matter down here. That's all great. So there was Zeno and the Stoic philosophers. They're named after the Stoa, which is an architectural feature in Athens. So they're named after basically where they met, right? And they presented, they actually saw themselves as an integration of Plato and Aristotle. They're kind of a synthesis, the Stoics. And the Stoics, I mean, kind of the 101 version is emotions and passions are dangerous.

And so you must still your soul by denying your emotions and your passions.
