Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Insomnia Even Matter? (Aurelius - Meditations 6:1-2; 2:14)
Q: Does insomnia matter?
On the surface, insomnia can affect physical health and decision-making, but ultimately it doesn't matter if you utilize your present circumstances appropriately.
The Stoic Jew Shiur #01: Marcus's Morning Reminder (Meditations 2:1)
Q: What does Marcus Aurelius mean when he says, 'I cannot be harmed by any of them'?
This means that the only true harm comes from within; external actions can affect material or emotional states, but they cannot affect one's moral character unless one allows it to happen.
The Stoic Jew Shiur #01: Marcus's Morning Reminder (Meditations 2:1)
Q: How does this relate to society where people have constant conflicts due to opposing traits?
Rabbi Schneeweiss explains that recognition of shared humanity and ignorance among people can promote cooperation rather than conflict.
The Stoic Jew Shiur #01: Marcus's Morning Reminder (Meditations 2:1)
Q: Why should you tell yourself this in the morning?
It is essential to reinforce this perspective daily as people are prone to forgetting the good and can easily get caught in negative emotional responses.
The Stoic Jew Shiur #04: Self-Talk About Your True Self (Meditations 2:2)
Q: What is the overall main idea of this entry?
It revolves around identifying oneself with the command center and controlling impulses from the flesh and spirit while recognizing the ephemerality of both.
