“You have your views. You have your side of things. You have the team you’re on, the group you belong to. So instinctually, naturally, you default there. You started out making your argument, believing that things should go this way or that way, so what are you gonna do? Just give in? You’re going to let them win? How Stoic is that?”
Ryan discusses the important distinction between facts and feelings, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

0:49.9 | So what are you going to do? Just give in, you're going to let them win. How stoic is that? Well, it depends, depends on what is right. |
0:57.9 | Remember Marcus Aurelius believed that there was no shame in being proven wrong. Remember, Seneca sought out the views of the enemy camp and had no problem quoting rival schools over his own. |
1:08.9 | Remember, most of all, what Marcus Aurelius said about doing what was right, said that nothing else matters. It doesn't matter who had the idea first. It doesn't matter how unpleasant or objectionable the other side is. It doesn't matter how tired you are. It doesn't matter what this will cost you. It doesn't matter how bad you'll look changing your mind. |
1:27.9 | A stoic will flip flop if the facts demand. A stoic will align with the enemy if the enemy is right. Marcus Aurelius famously said he'd hand the kingdom over to a videos casious. His would be usurper if it was for the good of Rome. |
1:42.9 | A stoic will accept a controversial or even objectionable view. If it's true, a stoic will give up if they've been going in the wrong direction. |
1:51.9 | We don't care about who is right. Care about the truth. Care about getting things right. That's our job and that's what counts. |
