GREAT VID. I just wish all philosophers were as authentic as you, Corey. By which I mean that you read all them big books, with big words in them... but then you apply it to you own experience, and see how it works in that context. So, as a result, you come across as someone who has had first hand experience of what you're talking about - rather than just being a brainy muppet who can regurgitate someone else's slogans. You are a breath of fresh air, pal :-)

if you want more people to read your book, and for the ideas to proliferate, you should give out an EBook for FREE!!!! people get a sweet read and you get your ideas out there, a win-win!

I could cultivate a sense of apathea, if people did'nt drive me up the wall 24/7.

This is brilliant stuff. "All things in moderation," including moderation!!! The best writing about the appropriateness of excessive emotion is in Ruskin's essay. "the Pathetic Fallacy." He describes the best poets as those who know what justifies losing control. Citizens who are too civil will walk politely into the Ovens when asked. Wildness has its moments.

@lukaskoube "people get a sweet read and you get your ideas out there, a win-win!"

He may prefer a win-win-win over a win-win-lose. =) Anyway, it's a good thing for people to learn to vote with their money anyway. Supporting academics who do good works buy buying their books is one way of doing this. Ultimately, even a philosopher has daily needs that must be met and having money will likely make the practical aspects of their lives easier.

Stoicism is an appropriate belief system in America in this day and age. Good on you for educating us about it.

[megaralee]

I agree with you mate....moreover,Stoic virtues call for giving away and sharing knowledge like a vine tree yielding fruits tremendously and generously.....that is pure Stoicism.

I really enjoy your video. Although, it seems as if you summarized every thing you did of your previous videos on stoic philosophy and compressed it into this video.

Stoicism is not easy to practice, though, it would be ideal if every one were a stoic.

@lukaskoube - Yeah, a win-win... except that Corey puts loads of time into that writing, but doesn't get the money he needs to put food on the table :-)
