responding to changes and emergencies

I'm quite fond of philosophy that doesn't rely on "magic plot devices" such as "god will help" ... I prefer instead to see things from the perspective of "all humans have strength and dignity" (well except malignant narcissists manifest large in politicians like Trump et al).

So whatever your facing humans have faced it before and the Stoics formulated some philosphy around this common experience. For everything we face today humans have faced for thousands of years before.


Marcus Aurelius is one of my go to philosophers (and was of course once a Roman Emperor)
