Barkus Luckey breaks down the three parts of Stoic philosophy from Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic: moral, natural, and rational. All three aim at the same thing: helping you live well by reason in the present moment. Cold showers and attention to now are how you practice it.
A couple weeks ago I showed you Paul Taylor Resilient Mind Project, and we had a brief philosophical discussion on why philosophy. So we're going to give you that one here today. So this is from the Daily stoic, Ryan Halliday, six degrees outside. This one's actually from October 26th to September 28th three parts 1am the best and the greatest number of authors and asserted that philosophy consists of three parts, the moral, the natural, and the rational. The first puts the soul in order, the second thoroughly examines the natural order of things, and the third inquires into the proper meaning of words and their arrangements and proofs which keep falsehoods from clinking into displaced truth. These three parts, the moral, the natural, and the rational, have one aim. As difference as they are, they have the same purpose, to help you live a good life ruled by reason. Not in the future, but now. And one of the things about lockdown aging is it's easy to project out of now. Not so easy to project out of a cold shower, but it's easy to think about being out as opposed to focusing on what I can keep doing. Now we might look it out, there might be a surge and all that other stuff might happen, but being here now is one of the most, most valuable things I think anyone can learn in their life because here and right now is the only part that really matters in terms of what you can do with it. With that in mind, philosophy is awesome. Keep going, keep going. Stay strong. Have a wonderful day. Spread the love. Cold shout Philosophy. Bye.
