How to Not Care About Stuff | The Philosophy of Epictetus Full video: https://youtu.be/p2KHo95QknkThe outside world is not in our control, but the way we choose to act in and position ourselves towards the outside world is in our control. Again, Epictetus doesn’t encourage us to not care about anything. On the contrary: living a good and moral life in accordance with nature is a Stoic’s main goal, which lies entirely within our control. But he does encourage us not to cling to what’s not in our control because these things are fickle, weak, and unreliable.#stoicism #epictetus #notcaring Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.
