Coming soon to SBR27 Nov 202300:01:09
Welcome, listeners,  to an exciting announcement from Stoicism by Robots.

This Friday - December first -  marks the launch of a new addition to our podcast: the introduction of AI-generated stoic passages in our new paid episodes.

While our main show delves into the profound wisdom of renowned stoics, these paid episodes will offer an entirely new experience. Our artificial intelligence will be writing completely original stoic passages, delivering a unique fusion of ancient philosophy and cutting-edge technology and offering fresh perspectives combined with timeless insights.

Episodes will be available for individual purchase, or as an all access subscription and will be accessible right in your usual podcast app.

This venture represents a blend of ancient philosophy and modern innovation, inviting you to explore stoicism through the lens of artificial intelligence. Join us this Friday as we embark on this new chapter, embracing the crossroads of tradition and technology in our quest for wisdom. Stay tuned for an enriching experience that echoes the essence of stoic teachings, reinvented by robots for the modern era.
Love the hand that fate deals you27 Nov 202300:01:55

Why do we complain?24 Nov 202300:02:21
“Why then are we offended? Why do we complain? This is the work of a skilled wrestler, whom fortune has brought forth as a fit antagonist, whose strength may be tried and improved by him. Must I, then, who have got such a stout and noble champion on whom to try my strength, be outdone with pleasure and pain? And how dull and unexercised must I appear, if I shrink from severity and the fire, if I cannot bear stern looks, or harsh words, incapable as I am of the true touch and test of Virtue!” - Hierocles
Let all your efforts be directed to something23 Nov 202300:01:51

True wealth21 Nov 202300:01:35

Wherever a man is15 Nov 202300:02:08
"Wherever a man is, he can find a place to practice the virtues of self-control, honesty, perseverance, duty, prudence, even under the most hostile conditions. Each sin and evil thing is the result of ignorance and of teaching one's self that profit, gain, or pleasure can come by way of ignorance." - Zeno of Citium.

Everything is coordinated18 Oct 202300:02:41
"All things are interwoven with one another; a sacred bond unites them; there is scarcely one thing that is isolated from another. Everything is coordinated, everything works together in giving form to one universe. The world-order is a unity made up of multiplicity: God is one, pervading all things; all being is one, all law is one (namely, the common reason which all thinking creatures possess) and all truth is one — if, as we believe, there can be but one path to perfection for beings that are alike in kind and reason." - Marcus Aurelius.
