Excerpt From
The Daily #Stoic
Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman
@stoiccoffee.bsky.socialIf Socrates walked among us today, he might find talking with AI interesting but hate what it does to our minds. When we outsource our thinking, we skip the struggle that builds wisdom and character. Stoic practice is about sitting with discomfort, not smoothing it over with instant answers. #Stoic

@stoicalgeezer.bsky.socialA useful #Stoic reminder as age advances: we cannot prevent life from gradually giving us “less”—less energy, mobility, freedom or certainty. But we can lessen the shock by needing less, adapting willingly, and learning that a smaller life need not be a lesser one.
