Greetings, welcome back to Jay's analysis, my friends, subscribers especially. Thank you, all you subscribers out there.

Today we're going to talk about Marcus Aurelius, the meditations of Marcus Aurelius.

And you're listening to Jay's Analysis. My website is jaysanalysis.com.

And I deal with philosophy, theology, the esoteric

movie reviews, film analysis. I do a lot of stand-up, a lot of comedy, a lot of impressions.

I do all kinds of crazy stuff, but I also do philosophy talks and lectures and so what we're going to do is

maybe skip back and go and talk about some of the older

post-Greek stuff into the Roman period because I had some requests actually people said you didn't ever talk about anything

stoic what about the stoics and that's because the Stoics are influenced by the Greeks.

They were very interested in continuing the Greek tradition

with that sort of Hellenized period of the Roman Empire.

And Stoicism is interesting.

It's not the best philosophy, I don't think.

But it's interesting. and you had the Roman

Emperor Marcus Aurelius influenced by Stoicism so the first thing that we want to do is you

know that I'm very much a fan of channeling and so I got my hair cut into this fashy
