  1. How to Become a Stoic in the Modern World

    11/23/2023

    How to Become a Stoic in the Modern World

    We’re all pretty used to rain. We’re either prepared for it with an umbrella or raincoat or just get wet. Rarely does it genuinely upset us. But what about when it rains for days, and the streets flood, so you can’t go outside? Or when you realize you can’t afford the interest rate on that home you want to purchase? How do you react when your investments plummet in value? Or you’re laid off without severance? These are genuine modern problems that plague us at every turn. Problems that haunt our nights with nightmares and fill our days with despair. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can learn to remain grounded despite all the problems plaguing our society today. This is how to become stoic in the modern world.

  2. Why You're Doomed to the 9-5 Trap

    Why You're Doomed to the 9-5 Trap

    “People simply empty out. They are bodies with fearful and obedient minds. The color leaves the eye. The voice becomes ugly. And the body. The hair. The fingernails. The shoes. Everything does”. Does this sound familiar? A long day looking in front of the computer screen causes an aching feeling behind the eyes. Your legs turn to jelly after spending a long shift behind the cash register. Your skin becomes pale and grey with too much time under fluorescent warehouse lights. The 9-5 continues to diminish our morale and humanity. Why are we doomed to this unsustainable way of life? And who is Charles Bukowski.

  4. Optimistic Nihilism: nothing matters, but it’s ok

    Optimistic Nihilism: nothing matters, but it’s ok

    If nothing matters and we’re all just specks of dust floating through space and time, what’s the point in trying at all? Building healthy relationships with friends and family doesn’t seem worth it because, in the end, everyone you know will die anyway. All attempts at self-improvement are futile because, in the Universe’s grand plan, none of it matters. Even if you’re not all doom and gloom, there’ll be days when getting out of bed will seem pointless. Where life itself will seem kind of pointless. And the current state of the world, with issues like the climate crisis, the rise in extreme politics, and economic instability, doesn’t help our psychological state.  Support: https://www.patreon.com/ApertureYT Website: https://whatifshow.com/category/aperture/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ApertureScience Merch: https://shop.whatifshow.com/collections/aperture
