stoic challenges

  • these are my research notes on stoicism
  • in 2024 my son and I got some stoic challenge card decks
  • these pages either are about a challenge card or a topic that emerges from a card
  • some of those cards are about facing your deepest fears therefore this site can get very dark
  • warning this is sort of hard mode some of these topics are extremely dark and challenging
  • I think much of stoicism was derived from buddhism they overlap

my selfish altruism

  • there is a book titled ecological overshoot by william catton
  • it is the bible for doomers
  • william liked to camp near mt rainier & overshoot impacted his campling lol
  • a similar thing happens to me
  • every summer I hike in the cascade mountains on the pacific coast trail
  • and every year hikers have to fight and reroute due to forest fires
  • so there are many pages here on that topic
  • and beyond human maladaptation the universe itself is in overshoot
  • see this page on thermodynamics
