Ironically I already use Ground News and I was pumped to see this as a sponsor! It’s cool to see it being advertised

Epicurus is one of my favourite philosophers, and I feel his view makes lots of sense. I must say, though, that most of us fear the death of a loved one much more than our own, and he kind of failed to address that...

[KishinAubrey]

fun fact: at one point in the letter to menoeceus, epicurus specifically criticizes those who say it's good to die as fast as possible

I live the new vibe of these videos. The background music really helps to bring a chill vibe

Great to see a new sponsor, it's exciting to see this chanel grow

Epicurus - famous as he may be - is way underrated with his philosophy of hedonism. I can barely think of any other philosophy which is misrepresented as much as hedonism.

So glad you finally did an episode about Epicurus, he's probably my favorite thinker from that time. Dude seemed like a total chiller, but in a strangely noble way.

True happiness is being isolated inside the walls of your home and still not feeling the dreadful depths of Einsamkeit.

Dude I think it's the very first time I'm interested in a Youtuber's sponsorship! Indeed, Ground News seemed like a pretty good concept to start with. After looking it up, I installed it and so far I'm really pleased with the app/software (Could it be that it was a good idea to trust you?)

Furthermore this is, as usual, a great video!
<3 you

When I learn about a new philosopher, there is always some piece of his philosophy that makes me think “huh, this guy is kinda describing how I view the world”

But holy shit, when you hear some dude condense you’re entire personal philosophy in a few neat sentences…it’s something else.

Really makes you realize that original thoughts are a non-renewable resource in the age of the internet. You are able to hear the words men who lived over 2, 000 years ago, along with the opportunity to discover one who not only had a similar perspective but also the insight to study and explain it.

It makes me wonder if it’s possible that Epicurus benefitted from a similar breakthrough. Reading some random record of a man who lived a thousand years before him that left him apprehensive to the realization that an ancient man, living in such a simpler time, could have predicted your perspective. The one perspective you think is entirely unique.

Happiness is when there are 10 chicken nuggets in the 9 piece nugget box

[Ineedtospendlesstimeonyoutube]

I don't know why but everytime I watched your video I seem to be a lot more relax and happy afterward, Thanks!

It feels as if we've grown up in a world of 'living a bad life' avoidance. I'm super familiar with all the ways my life can go terribly, and I stay far from those ills, however what pleasures to pursue are still very alien and difficult to access for me.

this video is the best birthday gift I could ask for right now, thanks man

[Papatoole]

Listening to you give me enormous amount of pleasure. You are feeding into my hedonism

[karolina]

Why do we need happiness? Why can't I just suffer in peace and live satisfied empty?

[pifre]

I can't believe I've been watching you all these years and I just subscribed now

[Godxrd]

Idk if it’s just me, it’s hard for me to stay sad i’m usually happy.
