[00:02:09] That's your Bob Dylan. [00:02:10] No, it's not. [00:02:11] That's your Bob Dylan? [00:02:13] That's what you think when you hear that. [00:02:15] Because you know, sometimes. [00:02:16] I'm trying to do something, but I don't think it's very good. [00:02:19] Dang, yeah, you have a good one. [00:02:22] Yeah. [00:02:22] Do it again. [00:02:24] Love in cord. [00:02:27] It's the ORD for me. [00:02:30] Let me get an old picture of your pussy from the front. [00:02:33] And you've ruined it. [00:02:34] Hello, everyone. [00:02:35] I'm sorry. === Guess Before You Read (02:22) === [00:02:36] My name, of course, is the modern day Marcus Aurelius, the stoic himself, Brace Belden. [00:02:44] And of course, we have with us here producer Young Chomsky. [00:02:47] And the podcast is Your Daily Tips for All Things AI and Stoicism. [00:02:52] True and on. [00:02:53] Hello, everyone. [00:02:54] Welcome to the show. [00:02:55] I read that Marcus Aurelius book. [00:02:57] You did? [00:02:58] I did. [00:02:58] I did it like eight years ago. [00:03:00] You were trying to get into stoicism? [00:03:02] I was just, I don't know. [00:03:04] What's up with these guys? [00:03:05] You, I mean, listen, maybe you don't know what I mean, but listen, not, we didn't all go, you know, we didn't all go to college necessarily after high school or ever. [00:03:16] For me, I was always like, man, I bet they all read things like that in there. [00:03:21] And because it just sounded like some people probably did. [00:03:24] Probably did. [00:03:25] Yeah, this is like eight years ago. [00:03:26] You know, I'm like, all right, I have all those classics majors. [00:03:30] It was like a Dover edition, like those like $3 books that they sold at that anarchist bookstore on Hay Street. [00:03:39] The one that was previously pro. [00:03:41] Is that still open? [00:03:43] Yes, it is. [00:03:44] Yeah. [00:03:44] They have a wisened old guy up there. [00:03:47] You got to be honest, horrible bookstore. [00:03:49] Yeah, it's not horrible bookstore. [00:03:50] Really bad. [00:03:51] Really bad. [00:03:51] I'm just going to say not surprising. [00:03:52] Not yeah, not surprising. [00:03:53] Also, well, we won't get into the name of stuff. [00:03:56] But I bought like a Dover edition of that book there, and I was just like, no shit. [00:04:02] That is so anarchist. [00:04:05] It's just like, it's all like good things are good and bad things are bad. [00:04:09] Or like, don't like be strong in the face of adversity. [00:04:13] And I guess back then they didn't have that much. [00:04:15] That's a nice little, that's a good lesson. [00:04:18] And I, to be fair, I'm sure a lot of people could use that lesson. [00:04:21] Yeah. [00:04:21] But like, I guess I'm just thinking, like, back then, I guess they just hadn't had that. [00:04:25] That was like a new thought back then. [00:04:27] You know what I mean? [00:04:27] Someone had to think the first thing. [00:04:28] Exactly. [00:04:29] They had to think that for the first time. [00:04:31] And so I was like, you know, like, I'm like, what am I learning from? [00:04:34] Like, how am I, I guess I'm just supposed to apply these lessons. [00:04:37] I think because everyone knows them. [00:04:38] Are you supposed to apply them? [00:04:39] I didn't apply a single one. [00:04:41] I mean, I don't think it has to be read like it's like a self-help book. [00:04:44] Yeah. [00:04:44] I think that is how the Stoic canon is read. [00:04:48] I think it's read by people who spend a lot of time coding and then reading kind of like the Sparks notes of that, of a 200-page book. [00:04:57] And what a beautiful world they've built.
