Da verdade diz-se pomodoro, uma técnica italiana que ajuda a estudar, falo acerca da preguiça do GRRM e da que existe em todos nós.

Deste episódio bem longo, acabo por divagar da natureza da guerra (mais ou menos) como várias torradas e demonstro uma certa apreensão por um lado filosófico guerreiro (mas nada contra). 

Hoje falo um pouco acerca do gótico, em parte porque estou a ouvir uma banda célebre de Goth Rock e Post-Punk, chamada And Also the Trees, acrescento também problemas técnicos durante o live do insta

Neste episódio (em breve disponível do youtube) vejo e revejo as minha decisões em comprar livros, o poder dos palavrões e o que fiz para o jantar.

Sorry for my hiccups and suddenly falling asleep. In this episode, while listening to some sort of epic music, I muse how we are all obsessed on finding something marvelous to find some meaning in our life.

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Greece, in Athens , by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC .

The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, the active relationship between cosmic determinism and human freedom, and the belief that it is virtuous to maintain a will (called prohairesis ) that is in accord with nature. Because of this, the Stoics presented their philosophy as a way of life and thought that the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person says, but how that person behaves. To live a good life, one had to understand the rules of the natural order, as they taught that everything was rooted in nature. 

Later Stoics—such as Seneca and Epictetus —emphasized that because "virtue is sufficient for happiness," a sage was immune to misfortune. This belief is similar to the meaning of the phrase "stoic calm", although the phrase does not include the views of the Stoic "ethical radicals" that only a sage can be considered truly free and that all moral corruptions are equally wicked. Stoicism developed as a system integrated by logic, physics and ethics, articulated by common principles. It was Stoic ethics that had the greatest influence on the development of the philosophical tradition and some think that it even influenced the beginnings of Christianity . 

From its founding, Stoic doctrine was popular with followers in Roman Greece and throughout the Roman Empire , including the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius ( 121–180 ), until the closing of all schools of pagan philosophy in 529 by order of Emperor Justinian ( 527–565 ), who perceived them as at odds with the Christian faith . Neo-Stoicism was a syncretic philosophical movement, joining Stoicism and Christianity, influenced by Justus Lipsius .

This episode will explore the origin and modern use of its name, as well as its history. It explores the basic principles and characteristics as well as its epistemology with its accompanied social philosophy.

The founder of Stoicism was Zeno of Scythium  who was an ancient Greek philosopher. He was born in Citium (present -day Larnaca ), on the island of Cyprus .  He taught in Athens , which was where he founded the Stoic philosophical school around 300 BC. Based on the ideas of the Cynics, Stoicism emphasized peace of mind, achieved through a life full of virtue , in accordance with the laws of nature. Stoicism flourished as the prevailing philosophy in the Greco-Roman world until the advent of Christianity.

One of the things that Stoicism stands agaisnt is The cult of personality  which is a political propaganda strategy based on the exaltation of the virtues - real and/or supposed - of the ruler, as well as the positive dissemination of his figure. Personality cults are often found in dictatorships , although they also exist in democracies. The term "personality cult" was first used by Nikita Khrushchov in the Secret Speech to denounce Josef Stalin , although this idea has appeared without this name since the French Revolution when political leaders stopped being seen as representatives of others to be seen as representatives of themselves. Khrushchov quoted a letter from Karl Marx , which criticizes the "cult of the individual". A personality cult is similar to apotheosis , except that it is created specifically for political leaders. The cult can also appear as a cult of artificial masculinity characteristic of political leadership. 

The cult includes giant posters with the leader's image, his constant flattery by the media, and often persecution of dissidents . In addition to Stalin, other leaders, prior to Khrushchov's speech, such as Adolf Hitler , Benito Mussolini , Mao Tse-Tung took steps that led to the cult of his personality, as did Saddam Hussein , Nicolae Ceaușescu , Rafael Trujillo , Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il.
