The overarching goal for this channel is built on these tenets:

Promoting Rational Understanding: The aim is to provide a rational and balanced perspective on current events. This involves analyzing situations logically and objectively, as free from emotional bias as possible, and encouraging all of us to do the same.

Fostering Virtuous Living: Emphasizing the Stoic virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. The intent is to use current events as examples to illustrate how these virtues can be applied in modern contexts and encourage us to incorporate them into our own lives.

Encouraging Emotional Resilience: To help develop emotional resilience in the face of challenging or distressing news. This includes teaching the Stoic practice of differentiating between what we can control and what we cannot, and responding to events with equanimity.

Cultivating Ethical Action: While Stoicism teaches acceptance of things outside our control, it also emphasizes the importance of acting virtuously within our sphere of influence.

Providing Philosophical Education: Providing education about Stoicism itself, helping to understand its principles, history, and relevance in the modern world.

Promoting Mindfulness and Self-Reflection: Engage in self-reflection and mindfulness, helping you to become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and reactions to the news and events around you.

Encouraging Positive Change: While accepting what cannot be changed, we can be agents of positive change in areas we can influence, whether in our personal lives, communities, or broader societal contexts.
