I like how it seems to be an epicurean text and it's not "Ooh wine and food yay" but "We need to talk about pleasure, and that it can actually be had in this life sometimes, and how" welcome to actual epicureanism

>>Do things that are available in lesser quantities afford more pleasure than those available in abundance? Our author thinks not: “as too in the case of food, we do not right away believe things that are scarce to be absolutely more pleasant than those which are abundant.” However, is it easier for us naturally to do without things that are plentiful? “Such questions will be considered frequently.”<<

THEY FUCKING DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

A number of years ago, I was sitting at the kitchen table with my parents. (I think it was lunch? lunch-ish? but I can't really remember.) Anyway, my father kept insisting that if you have hobbies, you should hustle and turn it into a blog, a podcast---something that would use that expertise, and share it with others. But my mother pushed back; she insisted that doing something is an end in itself. You can just read a book. You can think about what you read, turning it over in your head. Maybe talk about it with your local book club! But you don't need to start a LIT CHICKS podcast and read books every month and offer Blue Apron discount codes during commercial breaks, etc. etc.

You can just read the book.

I find myself thinking about that exchange a lot. I can just take a butterfly pinning class, or a foraging class, or a historical walking tour, and that's enough. The world is for doing things in, learning and meeting and seeing---you do not have to turn that into shareable content or a life's passion to give it worth.

Had two beers, half an edible, ate a burger and some cheese curds, rode the bus, listened to music, listened to my audiobook, went for a long walk at dusk...truly this is The Good Life

[enlitment]

I genuinely think that society would improve if we managed to somehow replace all of the 'Stoicism Daily: Repress All Your Feelings in 5 Easy Steps' type podcasts with someone reading passages from Epicurus or du Châtelet's Discourse on Happiness

I have done nothing but listen to Steve1989MREInfo for the last two days and now I just can’t get the thought of Neil and Kevin making a Youtube channel about MREs.

Kevin talks all about the history, what went into the decisions on what was included in the MRE, how some MREs were specialized for the climate of where combatants were, food supply chains during the war, preparation methods used during the period, soldier testimonies about particular MREs, and just in general a very thorough and maybe a little boring (if you’re not into that shit but I AM) history lesson.

Then it cuts to Neil’s part which is just him testing his iron stomach and talking about how it tastes.

These recordings need to be supervised after Neil came down with a bad case of food poisoning and now the channel sometimes includes Andrew, Aaron, or Nicky slapping food out of Neil’s hand because it is definitely FULL of botulism.

Most people come for the threat of watching one of Exy’s darlings get botulism if their friends aren’t fast enough and stay for the surprising amount of history surrounding MREs and other military rations throughout the ages.

They also stay to hear Andrew Minyard rip two of Exy’s darlings a new asshole once in a while.
