#137 - Couch Potato Time

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/12/28

Merry Christmas! Or should I be saying Merry Couch Potato Time! Yes, it is indeed that time of year where many of us are taking some (hopefully) much-needed rest. I'm sure you're settling into that couch dent rather nicely and have developed a nice system for keeping snacks within reach yet fresh.If you're looking for justification on being a sloth this holiday break, well... I'm going to give it to you! I'm not an absolutist, and I do believe that some lazy time is not even okay but necessary.

#135 - Fool of a Took!

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/12/21

Fools seem to come up oddly often in stories. In hero stories, for example, there is bound to be at least one stumbling fool. On the other end, comedy shows and movies are centered around a fool, such as The Simpsons. We can't help but to be drawn to Homer Simpson despite his lack of, let's say, wisdom. But what draws us to fools? Why do we like them? And do we ALWAYS like them? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#133 - Virtue Signalling

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/12/14

Nobody likes someone who does a good deed and immediately tells the world of their virtue. There are certainly conspicuous examples, such as announcing to your coworkers that you've contributed to a charity. There are also more subtle examples, such as politicians discussing climate change. For some reason, virtue signalling seems to make the virtuous act not-so-virtuous. But why? Firstly, why are we drawn to virtue signalling, and secondly, why are we turned off when we see it? Learn more about

#132 - Dialogue or War

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/12/09

The world has been at peace for quite some time. Historically speaking, this certainly isn't the norm. War has been the norm, not peace. Obviously, cooperation is of tremendous value. We all grow together when we are united towards a common goal. But is this always an option? Or is there a place for, dare I say it, conflict and war?It's a really complicated question. Of course we should all desire to avoid war, but what happens if large acts of injustice are committed and we deeply value justice? By

#130 - Stand Up Straight

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/12/02

You often hear people saying that you should "stand up straight". Likely, they are talking about the health benefits of having good posture - reduced pain over time being one. However, is there more to this than just the physical aspects? Is standing up straight actually representative of some deeper philosophical idea?On this episode, I talk about why you absolutely should stand up straight, and not solely for the physical benefits. We'll throw in some evolution, psychology, and fitness. Learn more

#129 - Up The Hierarchy

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/30

The word "hierarchy" comes up quite often, but what does it really mean? Is it just those at the top oppressing everyone else below? Or is it something that, perhaps, even has some good aspects? And is it even possible to eliminate the bad aspects of the hierarchy, or hierarchies in general?In this episode, I explore the tangly topic of hierarchies. My goal is not to offer any judgement on whether it's good or bad but rather the benefits and drawbacks of being in a hierarchy as a species and the

#127 - Conquering Death

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/23

You're here because you think I've found the immortality code, right? Or maybe you think I know a good place to buy psychedelics? Though those may be true, this episode will actually be covering a philosophical view of conquering death.Interestingly enough, this idea is a very, very old idea. It dates back to Ancient Egypt with a story that you may not be directly familiar with but one that you are very likely indirectly familiar with... the Osiris myth! So, how did Osiris conquer death? And is

#126 - The Power of the Individual

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/18

In the West, we highly value the individual. Surely, all of our laws are built on the individual. However, human beings have evolved in groups, and so our psychology is fundamentally built on tribes. This can create a conflict: should we conform to the group or be an individual?If we always conform to the group, we risk group destruction. At the same time, if we always speak up against the group, we find ourselves ostracized and alone which, evolutionarily speaking, means death. The answer, of

#125 - Luc Giguere: Language Barriers & Quebec

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/16

Language is an interesting thing. We don't choose our mother tongue in the same way that we don't choose where we are born, yet the language we speak literally shapes our lives. Human beings have been speaking for a very, very long time. So long that you could even say that our whole identity is built on the language we speak.In this episode, I talk with a quebecois (from Quebec) friend of mine, Luc. Luc and I met while I was living in Quebec City and we quickly became friends. We talk often about

#124 - Ad Hominem

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/11

Ad hominem is a very common logical fallacy which can be simply stated as a character attack. Essentially, when a person does not have an actual rebuttal to an argument, they will often try to derail the conversation to focus on the character flaws of the person making the argument.BUT does that mean there is no room for character evaluation? Should you care about people's character at all? Although there's no escaping the logical fallaciousness of a character attack, perhaps there are some

#123 - I Am Moana

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/09

The movie "Moana" is an archetypal story that was told incredibly well (and with a bit of good humour thrown in). Like many archetypal stories, the origins can be traced back to ancient religions and very old philosophical ideas, such as that of Chaos and Order.Moana is the hero, of course, who is able to save her island and her people using their foundational values... but it wasn't all fun and games. Moana truly had an adventure, one in which she came very close to giving up on. So, who is Moana

#122 - Good News

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/11/04

One of the things that doesn't paint humanity in a good light is how we deal with good news from others. Good news in our own lives? Well, that's just amazing! Good news for someone else? Meh.It turns out that there's actually a reason behind it, and, dare I say, a logical one. However, it is truly a shame that we can't be truly happy for others when they tell us good news. Likewise, imagine how great it would be if you could truly tell someone good news about you and have them genuinely be happy

#120 - Be True

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/10/28

How often have you heard the advise: "just be you", or some variation it? "Just do you", "to thyself be true", etc. It's actually great advice! We absolutely SHOULD be true to ourselves, but there's a problem... it isn't always easy.Sometimes it is. That is, when society's expectations align with you being you. A lot of times, however, it is not easy. Those are the times when society's expectations conflict with you being you. In these cases, it begs the question: what should we do? Should we stay

#119 - Falling Into Chaos

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2021/10/26

The Taos believed that life is divided between Chaos and Order. Too much order? No challenge. Too much Chaos? Well... Chaos. Though they believed the best life is lived right in the middle, it's rare that we are exactly in the middle. In fact, we often sway in between Chaos and Order throughout our lives. That means that sometimes, unfortunately, we find ourselves falling into Chaos.In this episode, I discuss falling into Chaos; how it happens, why it happens, and how it's possible to make the fall
