Summary
Would you rather be poor today or wealthy in Rome two thousand years ago? You have access and knowledge that Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and the most brilliant doctors of antiquity would have genuinely seen as magic. We are incredibly lucky.
Ask DS:

Why did Ryan decide to focus on Stoicism and philosophy (career wise) instead of something else?
How can we follow the Stoics but still maintain strong desires and passions in life?
