The Òrga Spiral PodcastsThe Silver Inversion: Imperial Decay and the War of ManoeuvreThis text synthesizes geopolitical analysis and economic theory to forecast a systemic collapse of Western unipolar power triggered by a structural silver deficit. The author argues that because silver is an inelastic industrial necessity for green energy and defense, the current supply shortage will eventually shatter the financial "simulacrum" of paper-based wealth. Drawing on historical patterns of imperial decay, the narrative suggests that overextended empires inevitably face a downward spiral of debt and institutional rigidity. This transition is described as a shift from a "war of position"—intellectual debate—to a...

Stoicism for a Better LifeSeason 4; Episode 19 (79) - ON JOURNALING LIKE ANDERSON - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastThe MOST powerful tool we have in our arsenal is our own rational mind. For millennia, intelligent and self-aware individuals have kept rigid journals/logs in a disciplined manner. One of our school's most popular books is quite literally the journal of a Roman Emperor (or what survives of it). Journalling is clearly a powerful tool and over the past decade, I have spent my time perfecting my journaling methodology. No...it is not rocket science. But it is nice to define what it is we want to accomplish. The goal: PEACE of MIND. The Means: Your JOURNAL.

Stoicism for a Better LifeSeason 4; Episode 11 (71) - ON FINDING & KEEPING DISCIPLINE - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastOne of my favourite things in my newfound life is being wrong. Most of us hate being wrong (come on...be honest...) but we should instead rejoice at the idea. If one can detach from emotions, we can easily see that being wrong immediately provides us with an opportunity to better ourselves or our fortune somehow. Trying to force ourselves to do what we inherently don't want to do, is just as wrong as trying to convince ourselves and the world that 2+2=3. It is simply wrong and contrary to reality and our nature. The conclusion, therefore, is self-evident:

So R&R in reasonable and consistent doses can be actually beneficial to you in your pursuit of a better self. Yes, you heard it right.....this episode makes a case for letting loose (like drinking wine) being a necessary tool for virtue.

2020-10-0215 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 14 (34) - SOCIAL MEDIA DECISIONS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe are all aware of the perils of social media, but we can also acknowledge it can be a great and powerful tool. So avoiding social media would not be a good choice, we have much to benefit from it. Instead we should try and make conscious decisions on how and when we use social media.
2020-09-3007 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 13 (33) - ACTIVELY SEEK OPPORTUNITIES FOR KINDNESS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe all want to be kind. And we all like to think we are a kind person. Yet most of us do not prioritize looking for acts of kindness throughout our days. Time is short so if you want to be a kind person, look for an active way in which to be kind for other people. It's easy to be kind when it's called upon, but you can definitely find additional proactive ways to be kind. And you should do this simply because you can.
2020-09-2606 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 12 (32) - DON'T FOCUS ON RESULTS, FOCUS ON CHOICES - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe tend to judge our accomplishments on results. Even when it comes to our moral decision making, we tend to look at the final result in evaluating how good/bad we were. However, let us never forget that results are not entirely dependent on us. Intentions for actions are entirely within our control, but as results get away from us in time and space, the less control we have over the final result.
2020-09-2208 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 11 (31) - BETTER YOURSELF TODAY, WHILE YOU STILL CAN - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastIf your goal is to improve yourself and make yourself better, do it with a sense of urgency, for you do not have much time left in this temporal existence. Every day we die...one day closer to the final death. So don't waste time. Make your virtue and bettering yourself a priority and actively work on it as often as you can.
2020-09-1807 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 10 (30) - TAKE A BREAK SOMETIMES - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastOur bodies and our minds are like tools or muscles. We use them to perceive the world external to our thoughts, and we use them to interact with the same external world. As with any tool or muscle, overuse without rest and repair, we can damage them...some times even beyond repair. So take care of your mind, which we tend to neglect. And take care of your body. It is not selfish to rest sometimes. It is virtuous because it helps you be a better person.
2020-09-1407 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 9 (29) - INVENTORY THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastIt is undeniable that who we hang out with impacts our personality. One way or another, tow people who spend time with each other will rub off certain traits on now another. Some people will absorb more than other, but everyone gets affected by the company they keep. So make a conscious effort in who you spend time with and how you spend it. Give yourself the best chance to be virtuous.
2020-09-1006 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 8 (28) - REJECT KNEE-JERK REACTIONS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe exist in these imperfect vessels we call a body. These bodies come with their own emotions and defence mechanisms. As such, it is impossible to be emotionless. We will always have knee-jerk emotional responses, this we cannot change. We can, however, control how quickly we get back to ourselves. So try and curb your body's response as quickly as you can and get back to being a reasonable rational person.
2020-09-0606 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 7 (27) - YOU HAVE FREE WILL, SO USE IT TO BE HAPPY - Stoicism For a Better LifeIt is up for debate whether our free-will is an illusion or a real thing. But one thing is for sure: From our perspective, we feel like we definitely have free-will. Life essentially can be boiled down to making choices and decisions in the present moment. So use your free-will actively.
2020-09-0208 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 6 (26) - GIVE UP A VICE FOR A FEW DAYS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastAddictions...we all have them. Some are more obvious, others more clandestine. Here is an opportunity to identify one, accept it distracts us from being mindful in the present moment, and actively work to remove it with a reasonable short term goal.
2020-08-2909 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 5 (25) - HELP OTHERS BY CHEERING FOR THEM - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe often forget that there are 7.6 billion other people on this planet. We get so lost in our own self-involvement. This episode is all about recognizing other people and their own journeys and supporting them.
2020-08-2506 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 2; Episode 4 (24) - YOU CAN'T LEARN WHAT YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastThe more my island of knowledge grows, so does my shore of ignorance. Knowledge is power and philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. However, we make the grave mistake of overestimating our knowledge. The same way Socrates was the wisest man in all of Athens because he knew what he did not know, we must admit not only what we do not know, but also that what we know can be improved upon.

Anderson is a visual artist and Area Head of Printmaking at New York University’s Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions. He has an MFA in Printmaking from Indiana University and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University.
Our conversation focuses on Noel's practice and work, much of it in the context of the murder of George Floyd and the mass protests that have followed. Noel's work is heavy, both in physical material and concept. Heavy, and also weightless as his pieces and ideas embody and span a range of time periods, critical theories and v...

2020-02-1815 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 19 (19) - SELF DEPRIVATION IS NOT A VIRTUE - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastBeing tough, having self-control (say enough to be able to take cold showers) and depriving yourself of luxuries is NOT virtuous. Virtue is found in our effort, not in our self-punishment. However, often a virtuous mindset will lead to a simpler life. The motivation, however, remains the gauge for whether your act is virtuous or not.

2020-02-0608 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 16 (16) - DO YOU NEED YOUR STUFF - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe live in a culture of consumerism. Buy, buy, buy...own, collect and have. But do we really need all that we own? Do you really need your stuff?
2020-02-0206 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 15 (15) - YOU HAVE ONE JOB - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastNo matter where we are in life or what's happening around us, we only have one job: Be a good human being.
2020-01-2905 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 14 (14) - DON'T BE A NEGATIVE NELLY - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastAlthough we can't really control our proto-emotions (your knee jerk reactions to stimuli), we really do have a choice to gain back control of our emotions and means. Even when something "bad" happens, we can always find something "good" to find in that situation to focus on. We can and should make a conscious and concerted effort to think more positively when possible. This is how we can shift our emotional spectrum to a healthier one.
2020-01-2507 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 13 (13) - DON'T BE BUSY FOR THE WRONG REASONS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe tend to busy ourselves thinking we will get more out of life. But one who enjoys life gets more from it then one who employs it (Lao Tzu). However, our time is very limited, so we don't want to be lethargic. We want to accomplish good things that are truly meaningful to us. So let us identify what these reasons are and make sure we are busy working towards them, as opposed to working towards the wrong reasons.
2020-01-2105 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 12 (12) - SPEND YOUR TIME PURPOSEFULLY - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastYou've heard me say it time and time again: Virtue is not about perfection, but about trying your best. In order to try your best, however, you must make good decisions and judgments as often as possible. To that end, we must make an effort to use our time purposefully, in order to be the best we can be, as often as we can be.
2020-01-1705 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 11 (11) - PHILOSOPHY IS A WAY OF LIFE, NOT A DISTRACTION FROM IT - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWhy are you listening to this podcast? I've heard them myself, and it can't possibly be for my voice. No, you're here listening to this in order to better yourself through the use and application of philosophy. Philosophy, then, is not a trifle, game or form of entertainment. Embrace it as a guide for life that should be used and applied more regularly, for more regular results.
2020-01-1304 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 10 (10) - STOP WANTING & SHED YOUR ANXIETY - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastAll anxieties stem from the fundamental error of wanting something we cannot want. Wishing and hoping for a different reality, where things or events are more favorable to us is nonsensical. Another reality doesn't exist. Things can't be any different. So it we can learn to accept the way things are and not wish for things out of our control, then we can easily ditch our anxieties.
2020-01-0905 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 9 (9) - RECLAIM YOUR TIME FROM HABITS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastWe are not guilty of not having enough time. We are guilty of spending time in the wrong places. Although habits can be a good thing, can we reclaim some time form our habits to divert towards more virtuous ventures?
2020-01-0504 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 8 (8) - TEND TO YOUR OWN AFFAIRS - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastVirtue is to be found in all our actions and every little effort counts. Does judging others make you more virtuous?
2020-01-0104 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 7 (7) - DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastYou would be surprised how often we let looks affect our judgment about people, things, events, etc. To be a good, fair and just human being, we must learn to shed our biases based on looks and try and see the world more objectively.
2019-12-2803 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 6 (6) - CAST AWAY YOUR JUDGMENT - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastAs Shakespeare famously said, " there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking it makes it so." Things and events external to our judgments and thoughts are just that: Externals. They don't actually go in your brain and make you think one way nor the other. So events by themselves are not good or bad, only our judgments about them are. In that case, why not cast away your judgments and be at peace?
2019-12-2406 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 5 (5) - THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO REALITY - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastHave you ever stopped to consider that anger is merely a refusal to accept what is actually happening? As far as us human beings can perceive, there is only one timeline with one reality happening going in one direction. If there is one reality, that we can't change no matter what, then complaining about it is our own fault, for complaining about it is merely not accepting reality the way it is.
2019-12-2004 minStoicism for a Better LifeSeason 1; Episode 4 (4) - FIND VIRTUE IN ENTERTAINMENT - Stoicism For a Better Life PodcastVirtue is being rational, honest and honourable. Spending our very precious time in a virtuous way means working for the betterment of humanity. But acts of virtue do not need to be grandiose or impactful in a major way. Virtue can be found and practiced everywhere. We can even find it in the entertainment we choose.

Spending our very precious time in a virtuous way means working for the betterment of humanity. But acts of virtue do not need to be grandiose or impactful in a major way. Virtue can be found and practiced everywhere, including in what you eat.
