Bringing antifragility to the table clarified things so well Jannik. Well done. It was not a term I was familiar with until now. While Seneca outlined putting oneself in the best possible position to make use of favourable winds, by learning from and not repeating mistakes, aligning ourselves with likeminded individuals, while still having the fortitude to roll with the punches, as it were, Epiphany seems to rely on the latter, and places all winds as being rather haphazard and unpredictable events. Forever beyond our control and capacity to prepare for. It’s an interesting term. Antifragility. Yet another book for my reading list. So many books. So little time dear Jannik!!😀started Seneca’s letters over the weekend. I’m getting bogged down in the details of his early life, and have spent more time reading about his influences by other philosophers than the actual book, but I feel it’s necessary if I am to better understand the man, and his writings?

I highly recommend Antifragile, and in fact recommended it to Jannik last week! Have a look at my post on how individuals can foster antifragility if you'd like to learn more :)

Hi Jannik, not sure if you are subscribed to the College of Stoic Philosophers journal. The latest issue is out and it has an article about AI/ChatGPT - https://ejournal.collegeofstoicphilosophers.org/eJournal49.pdf :)
