Jung and Epictetus on why we crave digital validation instead of inner virtue
from The Stoic Compass
Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate why we compulsively seek digital validation instead of building inner virtue — whether it's a moral failure, a psychological wound, or simply the discomfort of being alone with ourselves. Through their disagreement, you'll discover what's actually broken when a number on a screen matters more than your own honest assessment of your actions. You'll learn a single practice to begin rebuilding what Jung calls the "inner witness," the part of you that can see your own life clearly without needing anyone else to confirm it.📖 Pay Attention by C.
