Say Nothing, Hold the Line: 5 Phrases That Make You Respected

Before the first alarm, your mind is still clean - and the average person already checks their phone 150 times a day, consuming more lifetime-scale information by 8 AM than many people did in a lifetime centuries ago. If more input makes you feel less clear, what if the answer lies in a two-thousand-year-old practice that separates what is yours from what is not?

In this episode, we present a conversation about Stoic practice, its origins, and how it applies to modern crises of attention and control; we follow examples from Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and a contemporary woman named Sarah to ask: of everything in front of you right now, what is actually yours to move?

Person: Epictetus
Person: Marcus Aurelius
Person: Seneca
Person: Sarah
Statistic: average person checks their phone 150 times a day

- Epictetus was born a slave around the middle of the first century and was later freed.
- Marcus Aurelius became emperor of Rome in 161 and wrote private journal entries reminding himself he had power over his mind.
- Seneca, one of Rome’s wealthiest citizens, regularly practiced voluntary discomfort by eating poor food and sleeping on the floor.
- By eight in the morning a modern person has consumed more information than most humans in history encountered in an entire lifetime.
- Sarah’s immediate list of problems included four items: Car, Job, Ex-husband, Son.
