WOKE STOICISM. 😂😂😂
CANDACE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF BRAVERY IN THE FACE OF OPPOSITION!!!
Shawn!!! Clean your fucking team!!!! Fire people and slow down!! Research your guests FULLY!!!! Come on man. Seriously. You need to downsize your team and invest in your research of your gusts personally. Time to clean house. Someone on your team is not for you. But against you.
0:02 THIS GUY IS WOKE! DO NOT WATCH! HE HOSTED A CHILDRENS DRAG STORY TIME!
0:05 DO NOT WATCH!!!!! HOLIDAY HOSTED A DRAG STORY HOUR IN 2022 FOR CHILDREN
2:42:35 Yeah, set artificial boundaries to teach children how to act. Don’t set the example, that’s impossible. What a wonderful interaction to have about the future ✌️
The law of attraction. The principle of cause and effect. The principles of Polarity, Vibration and Mentalism. These universal laws have been taught since the days of Atlantis and were lost/hidden from humanity. We have been divided, manipulated, and programmed to be at odds with one another for thousands of years and it is coming to and end.
This guys looks like a predator
So rich I’ll be watching this twice
Nope, Not This Clown!
So..this guy talks about normal everyday stuff. And battling his own thoughts. Expresses how he deals with it and most of the comments is about how fake he is. Wild. Apparently no one likes that he’s not a Mel chancey and has a huge storyline. 🤣 Fucking wild.
Was such a good channel for awhile there
Everyone needs to look at what happened to Hattusa during the Bronze Age Collapse. Right now. It’s in modern day Turkey.

Mr. Shawn Ryan sir. I apologize for so many comments instead of a single list comment. I mean no ill will toward you. Thank you for this episode.
I mostly disagreed with your guest, but I found some points to learn from. Thank you.
If I may add another point to the list,
While I agree that slavery is evil and I’m glad it’s gone, the issue of states rights are supremely important in the civil war.
The Hamiltonians which I believe this guest is a part, wanted centralized Federal Authority. They needed to remove the States’ ability to disagree or secede. I lean more toward the Jeffersonian camp. Decentralization, and Individual State’s Sovereignty are paramount to the American Philosophy.
Again, thank you for your show. Good luck in continuing to navigate human interaction. I have a hell of a hard time with it too.
I would love to study our history , anyone have any ideas where I can find the truth ??
1:32 wagwaan?
I am going to try to watch this even though I lost so much respect for Ryan after the drag story time and the way he was very NOT stoic going after Ivanka Trump and saying she needs to somehow control her father… Stoicism is about letting go of things out of your control…
Maybe this will redeem him a little we’ll see 0:42
Excellent episode. Needed this due to a recent job loss that destroyed my confidence and dealing with a coo who was suppose to train me. Ended up criticizing me to a point that i couldnt make the right decisio no matter what decision i made even if it was a good one.
Ok well get it Shawn u wish u backed Kamala Harris we dont need to hear about it everyday show 10x. Cause everything would be better with her and the Democrats running shit. Stop crying cause u didn’t get your way and get everything u wanted. Thats not how the World or Politics works. If ppl kept politicians accountable for the last 60-70yrs we wouldn’t have to deal with the bs of them lying to us.
Woof.
“Shawn” you still work for the CIA. Just say it.
Clearly most of you in the comments havent noticed that Shawn has gone woke. Hes dropped the MAGA clown show. 😂
Bro is rocking the Iron Maiden. Instant credibility.
So, Marcus Arelius should have read Rom 7. It’s a thing called our sin nature. Would have saved himself a lot of time!
This gross won’t be watching
This yt channel going down hill sad to see
Beware of the philosopher that is that has a political agenda hence the “Russia” thing Russia is not your enemy, you have one enemy and they are turning the world against you, also beware of the philosopher that wants to sounds enlightened by telling you things you want to hear, also beware of the person that tells you things in a long story form when they can be short and straight forward
Everytime Ryan starts a sentence I feel like his brain is like, “”Okay just say anything and let’s see how it turns out.”” Very Kamala Harris like
My 2 fav ppl
Plz leave me alone .enjoy your children. Live full
Love your real content. Keep going.
It’s amazing how dumb humans are. It wasn’t until someone came about with a fantasy story that was digestible (Jesus) for people to act right. Imagine a world where stoicism replaced Christianity. *sigh*
I love Ryan’s books! I’ve listened more than once on Audible!❤
Hilarious that people will avoid this dude over some drag shit and completely disregard stoicism. Back to your Christ hellhole
“The problem is not the problem. Your attitude to the
problem is the problem.” –Captain Jack Sparrow..>>
“You have power over your mind, not outside events.
Realize this, and you’ll find strength.” –Marcus Aurelius..
Every administration and congress in my lifetime covered for Epstein. I was born when Reagan was in the WH. I don’t care about these people.
Stoicism has so much in common with the Vedic teachings of ancient India. So many close parallels…it would almost suggest some sort of divine truth.
What a goal brother ty for your beautiful example
I used to like this guys books. He wrote the book “courage is calling” at the height of Covid and he argued that those who wore masks and got the vax were the ones who were courageous over those who stood up to the govt and lost their jobs etc. Total goofball.
Drag queen story hour guy? I’ll pass
“This is Sparta.” Leonidas whispered calmly
And here i thought protecting kids was what ur about but then u bring this on here. Counter intuitive dont u think
That like this like COULD HAVE been, like, a GREAT interview, like, if this like, author could have learned how to like not say the like word “like” as every 4th like word, then like, I would have like listened to this interview. What CHILDISH IDIOCY in that generation. Like, distracting, like, disconcerting, like MORONIC oral dysentery! Slap that fool!
Isn’t this the same guy who host drag queen stories for children? Wtf has this podcast turned into? Shawn Ryan really needs to explain himself in a seperate video for this guests being here.
Stoicism is at eternal odds with Christianity! Read the Bible, pray (Jer 33:3), not anything from the Stoics or this guy.
26:06 THIS.
Christian’s are very narcissistic. Religion is actually very narcissistic. It’s like a backwards way of thinking . That if you give so much time, energy , whatever , you will be saved !No matter how you live your life . Is there no greater force for ego than religion ? Hmmmm
So this is the road Shawn is heading… YIKES!
I see 333. I see synchronicity. I have wrestled with a demon . I think this might be narcissism ?wrapped in ego ?wrapped in a lovely desire to be free
Are you just a narcissistic Christian at this point ?
