The French Philosopher

Have you been following the Olympics? 🏅 The U.S. is leading the medal count, with France close behind. The opening ceremony was epic, especially when French President Macron declared the start of the “33rd Olympiad of the modern era.” It got me thinking: why “modern era”? The Olympics started in ancient Greece and were revived 130 years ago. What’s really changed since then?

In this episode, we explore:

• The significance of the ancient Greek motto “Know thyself” and its relevance today 🔍

• How Plato’s ideas on humility and self-control connect with Stoicism and the ancient principle “Nothing too much” ⚖️

• The challenge of balancing self-surpassing with avoiding hubris in our quest for progress 🤔

• Socratic wisdom as a guide for personal and philosophical growth 🧠

Someone attempted to kill Donald Trump. What if they had succeeded? Can you imagine this alternate reality and all its consequences? We experience these kinds of thoughts sometimes in our lives. Like how I wouldn’t have met this friend or lover if I hadn’t gone to that party? Let’s imagine all the different worlds that would have unfolded if you had taken another course of action. Contemplate the choices you haven’t taken and the lives you could have lived. 

What can quantum physics and Schrödinger’s cat teach us? And how do parallel universes, TV series, and the philosopher Hegel fit into the picture?

As we navigate through life, it is important to remember that our choices, big and small, matter. Embrace the possibility of multiple realities and the endless potential within each moment. Your life is a tapestry of choices, each one a thread that weaves together the story of who you are and who you might become.

🤔 Got those big questions bouncing around in your head, demanding attention? If you've already given self-development advice a shot and you're still hungry for more, that's where #philosophy steps in as my top choice. Let's address this loop of existential thoughts with some fresh perspectives I bet you haven't considered yet.

And let’s be clear, we're not talking about a snoozefest philosophy class here! Please consider me your philosophy BFF 🤗. I'd love to unpack life's big Qs together in a heart-to-heart chat. Picture us having a deep convo about the meaning of life over a latte (and make it iced, please—NY’s summer heat is brutal right now!).
