Is stoicism past its due date as a mindset? 🎙️ "The Enough Equation" with Will R. Young

from Limitless: Biohacking Brainpower, Health, Personal Growth & Beyond

Stoicism - the philosophy articulated by the embattled Marcus Aurelius as his personal life and empire threatened to collapse around him in 170 BC. It's over 2000 years old, and we are now living in a world utterly inconceivable to even the most imaginative Roman aristocrat in the midst of a psychedelic Dionysian fever dream. Modernity seems architected to conflict directly with every facet of evolutionary psychology and the philosophical values that have edified men and women for millennia. While new science, thinking, and practice from the fields of Biohacking and personal growth seem to offer pragmatic solutions in a world doing its damnedest to claw away our free will with digital talons.But is stoicism past its due date as a mindset?That's the question I'll be exploring today with Will R. Young, a behavioral finance strategist, philosopher, top-performing superforecasters in the Good Judgment Project, author of a new book, "The Enough Equation," and avid surfer - he knows a thing or two about dodging shark fins.2:15 How is stoicism applicable in modern life?7:17 Preferred indifference - to everything?11:17 Stoicism and dating18:30 Stoicism and financial life21:35 Should a stoic reward themselves with "toys?"26:10 Stoicism vs AI-driven technological unemployment34:10 Monetary wealth vs spiritual wealth41:15 Hacks for mindset "hardcases"44:30 The supreme value of attention51:20 Flow vs control1:00:30 How to define your "enough"1:04:05 What is the science of superforecasting?1:09:10 Forecasting vs time1:11:11 Trust-testing anything?1:20:00 Jonathan's surfing storyRead 📑 Everything Mentioned Herehttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/podcast/1701-will-r-youngOrder 🛒 Bookhttps://amzn.to/4mfG6hOConfused?Clarity is a confidential VOIP call away - book an illuminating and edifying 45-minute Biohacking/Lifehacking consultation with mehttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/breakthrough-consultationJoin the Limitless Mindset Newsletterhttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/newsletterSupport My WorkLimitless Mindset Storehttps://store.limitlessmindset.com/Limitless Mindset Substack ($7/monthly)https://jonathanroseland.substack.com/My bookshttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/jr-booksDonate cryptocurrencyhttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/support#cryptocurrencyConnect with Jonathanon Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/limitlessmindseton Twitterhttp://twitter.com/jroselandon Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/roselandjonathan/on Mindshttps://www.minds.com/jroselandon Odyseehttps://odysee.com/$/invite/@jroseland:fon Telegramhttps://t.me/limitlessjrI'm not a doctor, medical professional, or trained therapist. I'm a researcher and pragmatic biohacking practitioner exercising free speech to share evidence as I find it.
