The modern world is loud, reactive, and deeply polarized. In this powerful monologue, Manny Teran breaks down how Stoic philosophy offers a stabilizing framework for navigating tragedy, division, and emotional overload.
Using the killing of a protester as a catalyst—not a verdict—this episode avoids tribal blame and instead asks a deeper question: How should we respond as human beings, leaders, and citizens when emotions run high and truth is unclear?
Key themes include:
Social media outrage cycles and their real-world consequences Leadership, stillness, and moral clarity in moments of chaos
This is an episode about restraint, responsibility, and reclaiming dialogue—not withdrawing from the world, but engaging it with wisdom.
