A message from Ryan Holliday's The Daily Stoic:

"Diogenes of Sinope said that we sell things of great value for things of very little, and vice versa."
- Diogenes Laertius,
Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, 6.2.35b

Something to think on. Stay safe tomorrow, humans.

There Is A Last Time To All Of It. 🌀
The days are long but the years are short, as they say. At some point, before you know it, you and your kids are going to have your last day together.

How we feel about it

We don’t get to choose what happens to us, but we can always choose how we feel about it. And why on earth would you choose to feel anything but good? We can choose to render a good account of ourselves. If the event must occur, Amor Fati (a love of fate) is the response.

El cambio comienza con una decisión.

#neostoicism is a mutation of ancient aretaic virtues toward service of the #technocracy.
It is #managerial #ethics disguised as #virtue.
Rather than learning actual self-discipline, it is subsumption for #productivity.
Instead of accepting what can't be changed, it is excuses for collective responsibilities.
Instead of self-mastery it is optimizing performance.

The neo-stocism comes from #redpill "father figures": #JordanPeterson, #ElonMusk, #AndrewTate, #DanBilzerian, #JackDonovan, #JockoWillink, #DavidGoggins, #CurtisYarvin, and #RyanHoliday . The relationship between this, nazi neoclassicism, and modern fascism are not accidents.

A productive stoic is an ideal subject of work and rule: self-monitoring, and compliant.

Forbearance

Clearheadedness and action are not always enough, in politics or in life. Some obstacles are beyond a snap of the fingers or novel solution. It is not alway possible for one person to rid the world of a great evil or stop a country bent toward conflict. Of course, we try—because it can happen. But we should be ready for it not to. And we need to be able to find a greater purpose in this suffering and handle it with firmness and forbearance.

~ Ryan Holiday, from The Obstacle is the Way

Do good. Be better.

Been working through #TheDailyStoic this year (up to May so far, I'm not great about it) and enjoying it. It's a quote-a-day book by #RyanHoliday, and leans pretty heavily on Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius.

I don't really follow Holiday, but I appreciate what he's done to popularize stoic ideas.

Strategy

What matters is whether a certain approach gets you to where you want to go. And let’s be clear, using obstacles against themselves is very different from doing nothing. Passive resistance is, in fact, incredibly active. But those actions come in the form of discipline, self-control, fearlessness, determination, and grand strategy.

Pragmatism

Pragmatism is not so much realism as flexibility. There are a lot of ways to get from point A to point B. It doesn’t have to be a straight line. It’s just got to get you where you need to go. But so many of us spend so much time looking for the perfect solution that we pass up what’s right in front of us.

Benefit

The one way to guarantee we don’t benefit from failure—to ensure it is a bad things—is to not learn from it. To continue to try the same things over and over (which is the definition of insanity for a reason). People fail in small ways all the time. But they don’t learn. They don’t listen. They don’t see the problems that failure exposes. It doesn’t make them better.

21 lessons

In this article, I wanted to share some of the many lessons I’ve learned from George over the years and in the process of working on the book with him. His wisdom and example have influenced my life in ways I never could have imagined—I hope these 21 lessons impact you as much as they have impacted me…

I’m not even quoting a single one, because you should go read them all.

Persistence

Consider this mindset:

never in a hurry
never worried
never desperate
never stopping short

As Epictetus once summarized his entire philosophy: Persist and resist. Persist in your efforts. Resist giving in to distraction, discouragement, or disorder.

#Epictetus #InspirationalQuotesBookReviewed_ #Quotes #RyanHoliday

First judgements

[R]eject the first judgements and the objections that spring out of them because those objections are so often rooted in fear. […] This is radically different from how we’ve been taught to act. Be realistic, we’re told. Listen to feedback. Play well with others. Compromise. Well, what if the “other” party is wrong? What if conventional wisdom is too conservative? It’s this all-too-common impulse to complain, defer, and then give up that holds us back.

= les médias évoquent la polémique ( = suivre 'la' tendance) générant des millions de pages vues -> grosse #publicité et beaucoup d'€ via les clics/réactions

"Notre objectif était très clairement de troller les médias, provoquer des réactions et des débats, ce qui nous évite de payer une campagne de publicité."

#marmion #connaissance #cerveau #emotion #education #manipulation #presse #RyanHoliday

Créer un faux #scandale :
- proposer un don important à une association pro- ou anti- en échange d'un 'menu' servie visible publiquement sans aucun lien avec l'objet des associations
- publier leur refus -> scandale : l'association crache (= refuse) sur le don important -> réactions/polémiques d'autres associations qui auraient accepter le don en rendant le service demandé.

#marmion #connaissance #cerveau #emotion #education #manipulation #presse #RyanHoliday

- "n'ayez pas peur de fâcher les lecteurs, ou de les attendrir" -> les émotions (et pas les faits, la vérité) font cliquer sur les liens = rentabilité via monétarisation du clic #business model

"Ceux qui écrivent pour le #Web se réveillent le matin en ne songeant pas à des considérations de morale ou de qualité, mais au nombre de clics."

"Pour attirer l'attention des gens, une #information sérieuse doit se battre contre toutes les autres, et se voir préférer à une pornographie accessible en un clic sur son téléphone."

Générer un max de buzz :
- "titre qui verse dans l'extrême"
- photo choc
- texte bref "parce que les gens n'auront pas le #temps de le #lire en entier"
- pas de grandes phrases ni de paragraphes
...

"Un évènement nous fascine pendant 2 semaines, et puis on l'oublie complètement pour passer à autre chose."

"De toute façon, un article en ligne ne doit pas présenter quelque chose de vrai ni faux, de positif ni de négatif, mais qui incite à cliquer sur un lien ou regarder un programme."

-> Irak 2003 : Dick Cheney fuit fuiter une info à un journaliste -> la dément à la tv : renforce l'attention sur la pseudo-info -> popularisation de la pseudo-info jusqu'aux éditoriaux qui suivent les tendances -> "le tour est joué".

"Le monde bidon influence le monde réel. Et ça, c'est terrible."

= "créer un buzz" -> "Bien joué !" = accepter de se faire manipuler pourvu qu'on passe "un bon moment et que les apparences soient sauves, qu'ils ne se sentent pas humiliés par le procédé."

"[...] pour un article #gratuit [...] on ne peut pas annuler [son clic] " -> "comment accumuler un maximum de clics, pour rassurer les annonceurs et faire prendre de la valeur marchande au site ?"

"Ce qui est étonnant en revanche, c'est que les médias ne font quasiment rien pour l’empêcher, et que ça ne choque personne !"

+ falsifier des pages de site Internet;
+ payer des trolls pour qu'ils postent à votre place ce qui vous arrange;

"[...] pour attirer les lecteurs, il faut qu'un titre se résume à une question qui serait un mensonge sans son point d'interrogation. On se souviendra de lui sans sa ponctuation [...]"

"Si vous voyez une quetion dans un titre racoleur, la réponse est toujours 'non'."

#marmion #connaissance #cerveau #emotion #education #manipulation #presse #RyanHoliday

"Aux #USA, quasiment 100% des #journalistes utilisent des blogs pour trouver leurs infos : or la majorité de ces sites n'ont pas pour objectif de générer de la #confiance avec le lecteur et de durer 100 ans comme le NYT, mais de devenir viraux le plus vite possible par n'importe quel moyen. Ils doivent à tout prix générer du #trafic et des revenus publicitaires pour être revendus"

#marmion #connaissance #cerveau #emotion #education #manipulation #presse #RyanHoliday

"Pour manipuler les grands sites d' #information, [...] il faut d'abord cibler les tout-petits." -> effet boule de neige.

tout-petits = petits blogs dont les 'infos' extrêmes/imprécises/sujettes à controverses [ donc fort potentiels de réactions émotionnelles = clics monétarisés ] "seront reprises par de plus gros, et ainsi de suite."

This Is The Stoicism Talk The Navy Banned

#RyanHoliday was forbidden from delivering a talk on #Stoic #Wisdom at The U.S. Naval Academy, because he was going to talk about banning books and erasing history. Now it's available to the whole world. #TheObsticalIsTheWay

Defiance and acceptance

Defiance and acceptance come together well in the following principle: There is always a countermove, always an escape or a way through, so there is no reason to get worked up. No one said it would be easy and, of course, the stakes are high, but the path is there for those ready to take it. This is what we’ve got to do. And we know that it’s going to be tough, maybe even scary.
