1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Hello everyone!! For our late Left Page this month, we dive into an odd choice, but a fruitful one! Emperor Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, from 161 A.D.! In what we find to be one of the original inspirations for self-help books, we... certainly suffer through this one! Talking about how an Emperor can isolate himself from his society and keep himself above it, becoming &quot;a perfect and invincible soul&quot;. And we tackle it in turn, with our own experiences, charging against his feeble attempts at &quot;human nature&quot;, what he understands existance and history to be, and worst and scariest of all, the horror of men. Enjoy! And check out the Existential Comics Frank mentioned on Epictetus! https://existentialcomics.com/comic/264 If you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras, check our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leftpage&amp;nbsp; Also! If you're not there already, feel free to join our Discord, as we have been more talkative than usual, and plan to do so more and more! https://discord.gg/J2wgG3yrPN Intro Credits: Ultralounge, Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Outro Credits: Leve Palestina, Spartacus Hosted on Acast.
