Pleasure has no expectation

With this virus going on and the riots and the health organizations, I found it time to start the podcast again. It's been 6 months and a lot has changed. Wanted to discuss a little from the Apology of Socrates and how presucated this system makes things out to be. During all this I find that education has become a center point in the debate. #anchor #podcast #talks

Hi, I am back again, I was researching a lot about stoicism for the last 2 weeks. I stumbled upon some great work from Epicurus, Musonius and some more. In this podcast, we discuss a small part of what they think brought pleasure to them. And share what I think brings us this type of happiness in our lives.

In this new episode I talk about the relevance of our attitude towards to ourselves. Where do we put ourselves in the daily mix of things and what could drive us?  anchor @philosophiatalks facebook @philosophiatalks instagram @philosophiatalks

In this podcast, I start by looking at the Ethics of Aristotle. What defines a good being, a good human being. I jump across to the Orator from cicero which is about talking well and with well thought out words. Jung, Descartes and Locke on Nature versus nurture side of the brain What does it say about our instinct.

Jean Paul Sartre Carl Gustav Jung "Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does." Jean-Paul Sartre believed that human beings live in constant anguish, not solely because life is miserable, but because we are 'condemned to be free'. While the circumstances of our birth and upbringing are beyond our control, he reasons that once we become self-aware (and we all do eventually), we have to make choices — choices that define our very 'essence'. Sartre's theory of existentialism states that “existence precedes essence”, that is only by existing and acting a certain way do we give meaning to our lives. According to him, there is no fixed design for how a human being should be and no God to give us a purpose. Therefore, the onus for defining ourselves, and by extension humanity, falls squarely on our shoulders. This lack of pre-defined purpose along with an 'absurd' existence that presents to us infinite choices is what Sartre attributes to the “anguish of freedom”. With nothing to restrict us, we have the choice to take actions to become who we want to be and lead the life we want to live. According to Sartre, each choice we make defines us while at the same time revealing to us what we think a human being should be. And this incredible burden of responsibility that the free man has to bear is what relegates him to constant anguish.
