6:25 the title is misleading and does not represent the content.

Indifference is opposite of what the content suggests.

INDIFFERENCE by definition is *Lack of interest or concern* . Simply: not interested!
Stoicism suggests opposite: be mindful, resilient abd resistant.

The (video) content suggests to be unaffected by external influence and find a solution from within. Which is NOT indifference.
EDIT: Indifference CANNOT be and IS NOT a Power! Period.
