I, I, I was wondering if you could kind of get into, first, why do you think Stoicism has caught on so much? Is it really just the personalities around it, or is there something about Stoicism that is appealing to pe-people in general? And second, like what, you know, what are, what are the schools of philosophy that you like and, uh, like, you know, maybe compare and contrast a little bit.

Yeah.

So I'll start with the Stoicism piece.

I think it's become popular, if you will, because it's the most accessible inroad into philosophy in that it's more narrow.

Other schools of philosophy like, uh, schools, Aristotelian schools, especially modern philosophy, are a lot more comprehensive and so involve having to understand metaphysics, advanced logic, theories of knowledge, stuff that is definitely interesting, and I don't want to pretend it's not important at all.

Like the modern scientific method comes about because years of, of work on this.

But for people trying to figure out how to live their daily lives, it's hard to say it's super important, uh, and it's all very complicated.

Yeah.
