“Accept death in a cheerful spirit, as nothing but the dissolution of the elements from which each living thing is composed. If it doesn't hurt the individual elements to change continually into one another, why are people afraid of all of them changing and separating? It's a natural thing. And nothing natural is evil.” - Marcus Aurelius

The Death of Seneca by Manuel Domínguez Sánchez

“The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”

—Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The Death of Seneca, Manuel Domínguez Sánchez, 1871. This large painting depicts the suicide of the Stoic philosopher Seneca, after his condemnation by Nero. His friends grieve over his body, and the figure in red was universally praised for Sánchez's use of foreshortening and the depiction of emotion without facial expression. It's featured in the Museo Nacional del Prado. It's one of my dream paintings to see in person.

Thought I'd treat yall and release this video a few days early! Today, a guest and I dive into the recent TikTok trend where men apparently think about ancient Rome at least once a day! Can an entire academic study be boiled down to a gender binary? What does Russel Crowe and Stoicism have to do with it?

". . . one, that things do not take hold upon the mind, but stand without unmoved, and that disturbances come only from the judgement within; second, that all that your eyes behold will change in a moment and be no more; and of how many things you have already witnessed the changes, think continually of that. The Universe is change, life is opinion." -Marcus Aurelius, 4.3

sorry but seneca's bit on slavery is so spineless & cringeworthy to read, like the way he acts like he's Saying Something by being like 'we should be nice to slaves while still keeping slaves' and 'You Too can be Friends with your slave'. the way he's trying to be Philosophical but actually just caving to every social institution. the bit where he's like 'when you think about it aren't we all really slaves deep down :)'. the way this sometimes gets played as some sort of genuinely radical behavior on his part. insufferable tbh
