If you have anger issues, this one is a great tool (h/t mindyourbusiness)
This week’s book:
Discourses and Selected Writings
Disclaimer: I’m not your Supervisor. These are my opinions after reading through these books a few times.
Epictetus was born a slave around 50 ad. His owner was Epaphroditus, a rich freedman who was once a slave of Nero. Though he was a slave Epictetus was sent to study philosophy under Musonius Rufus.
Epictetus was lame and there are some stories it was caused by his master and others that it was caused by disease.
He was a freedman when all philosophers were banished from Rome in 89 by the Emperor Domitian. He then started his school in Greece, and had many students. He did not leave any writings from his lessons, but one of his students, Flavius Arrian, took notes and wrote the Discourses.
Epictetus did not marry, had no children, and lived to be around 80-85. In retirement, he adopted a child that would have been abandoned and raised him with a woman.
He died sometime around AD 135.
He might be my favorite Stoic teacher. I love his bare bones and very straight forward approach.
Following is a paragraph-by-paragraph discussion of one of his lessons. Epictetus’s text appears in bold, my replies are in normal text.
That we do not practice the application of our judgements about things good and evil Pt. 1
Wherein lies the good?—In moral purpose.—Wherein lies evil?—In moral purpose.—Wherein lies that which is neither good nor evil?—In the things that lie outside the domain of moral purpose.—Well, what of it? Does any one of us remember these statements outside the classroom? Does any one of us when by himself practice answering facts in the way he answers these questions? “So it is day, is it?” “Yes.” “What then? Is it night?” “No.” “What then? Is the number of the stars even?” “I cannot say.”[1]
These are simple questions to answer. It should be as simple to understand the difference between the things we control and those outside of it as it is to say whether it is day or night.
When you are shown money, have you practiced giving the proper answer, namely, that it is not a good thing? Have you trained yourself in answers of this kind, or merely to answer sophisms? Why, then, are you surprised to find that in the fields in which you have practiced you surpass yourself, but in that in which you have not practiced you remain the same?
Study and practice leads to a deeper understanding of guiding truths. Areas I don’t practice and follow, I will continue to struggle in. I really focused on anger control more than any other and that is the one place where I honestly feel proud of my improvement.
5For why is it that the orator, although he knows that he has composed a good speech, has memorized what he has written and is bringing a pleasing voice to his task, is still anxious despite all that? Because he is not satisfied with the mere practice of oratory. What, then, does he want? He wants to be praised by his audience. Now he has trained himself with a view to being able to practice oratory, but he has not trained himself with reference to praise and blame. For when did he ever hear any one say what praise is, what blame is, and what is the nature of each? What kinds of praise are to be sought, and what kinds of blame are to be avoided? And when did he ever go through this course of training in accordance with these principles? Why, then, are you any longer surprised because he surpasses all others in the field in which he has studied, but in that in which he has not practiced he is no better than the multitude? He is like a citharoede who knows how to play to the harp, sings well, has a beautiful flowing gown, and still trembles when he comes upon the stage; for all that has gone before he knows, but what a crowd is he does not know, nor what the shouting and the scornful laughter of a crowd are. 10Nay, he does not even know what this anxiety itself is, whether it is something that we can control, or beyond our powers, whether he can stop it or not. That is why, if he is praised, he goes off the stage all puffed up; but if he is laughed to scorn, that poor windbag of his conceit is pricked and flattens out.
Epictetus used this example in an earlier lesson. Public speaking is one of the great fears people have. Once I mastered my stage fright in my high school band, speaking in front of groups was easy. I realized that as long as I did my best, I didn’t care what the observers thought. This helps in day to day life as well. I know people think I am weird, but I am happy with my life, so I am OK with being weird.
We too experience something of the same kind. What do we admire? Externals. What are we in earnest about? About externals. Are we, then, at a loss to know how it comes about that we are subject to fear and anxiety? Why, what else can possibly happen, when we regard impending events as things evil? We cannot help but be in fear, we cannot help but be in anxiety. And then we say, “O Lord God, how may I escape anxiety?” Fool, have you not hands? Did not God make them for you? Sit down now and pray forsooth that the mucus in your nose may not run! Nay, rather wipe your nose and do not blame God! What then? Has he given you nothing that helps in the present case? Has he not given you endurance, has he not given you magnanimity, has he not given you courage? When you have such serviceable hands as these do you still look for someone to wipe your nose?
I don’t pray to God, but I also do not blame God, or fate for things that happen to me. I try to look at what I can control in this situation and go from there. For instance, it is definitely not God’s fault that I have not ran or worked out for 3 months, that is all me.
15But these virtues we neither practice nor concern ourselves withal. Why, show me one single man who cares how he does something, who is concerned, not with getting something, but with his own action. Who is there that is concerned with his own action while he is walking around? Who, when he is planning, is concerned with the plan itself, and not with getting what he is planning about? And then if he gets it, he is all set up and says, “Yes, indeed, what a fine plan we made! Did I not tell you, brother, that, if there was anything at all in my views, it was impossible for the plan to fall out otherwise?” But if the plan goes the other way, he is humble and wretched, and cannot even find any explanation of what has happened. Who of us ever called in a seer for a case of this kind? Who of us ever slept in a temple[2] for enlightenment about our action? Who? Show me but one, that I may see him, the man that I have long been looking for, the truly noble and gifted man; be he young or old, only show him!
I have had a couple of plans in my life that fell through, some were because the economy crashed at an inopportune time and some were because halfway through I quit. I understand the ones were my fault and they are easier to accept than the ones crushed by outside forces. It should be the other way around.
Why, then, do we wonder any longer that, although in material things we are thoroughly experienced, nevertheless in our actions we are dejected, unseemly, worthless, cowardly, unwilling to stand the strain, utter failures one and all? For we have not troubled ourselves about these matters in time past, nor do we even now practice them. Yet if we were afraid, not of death or exile, but of fear itself, then we should practice how not to encounter those things that appear evil to us.
I need to practice being a person that goes to bed on time and gets up early so I can go running or to the gym. Lately I have gotten plenty of practice at staying up too late, eating junk, and not getting enough sleep.
20But as it is, we are fiery and fluent in the schoolroom, and if some trivial question about one of these points comes up, we are able to pursue the logical consequences; yet drag us into practical application, and you will find us miserable shipwrecked mariners. Let a disturbing thought come to us and you will find out what we have been practicing and for what we have been training! As a result, because of our lack of practice, we are ever going out of our way to heap up terrors and to make them out greater than they actually are. For example, whenever I go to sea, on gazing down into the deep or looking around upon the expanse of waters and seeing no land, I am beside myself, fancying that if I am wrecked I shall have to swallow this whole expanse of waters; but it does not occur to me that three pints are enough. What is it, then, that disturbs me? The expanse of sea? No, but my judgement. Again, when there is an earthquake, I fancy that the whole city is going to fall upon me; what, is not a little stone enough to knock my brains out?
It doesn’t take a large calamity to ruin my life, It can be ruined by simple things, if I let it. I seem to think more on large problems that are a really slim possibility than I do small issues that build up, but that is a much more common problem in my life.
This lesson is really long, so I am going to break it into 2 parts.
Music this week is from Rainbow. I had only heard Man on the Silver Mountain from the Dio days. I heard Sons of Apollo doing a cover of Gates of Babylon, didn’t realize it was a cover until I read the YouTube comments.
Then I bought Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll. Man, it has some great songs, and some average one, but the great ones really show here prog metal came from.
Gates of Babylon-This has quickly become one of my favorite songs of all time.
I’m just going to recite this every time my boss worries aloud about something that hasn’t even happened yet.
Thanks again, Ron. Thoughtful stuff, as usual.
That is a great quote.
How does this compare to Ray Dalio’s principle that
If you’re not worried, you need to worry. And if you’re worried, you don’t need to worry”
I use this one at work sometimes, in part or in whole:
Jesus of Nazareth, Matthew 6:25-27
The latter sentence is often quoted as “sufficient unto today are its own troubles”, without knowing who is being quoted.
Oops; didn’t get the whole quote:
“ Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
That quote makes no sense.
What matters is deciding what to worry about and being able to identify that worrying by itself is a waste of time and energy.
If I could manege to only worry about what I control, than worrying would not be a problem.
That reply was to Dr. Fronkensteen, not Hayeksplosives.
Glad you liked it.
Here’s a great example of not begin stoic, I assume. Admittedly I didn’t have the sound on while watching.

I didn’t think I could like Dio era Rainbow any more – then I listened to it while watching her muted.
She seems upset about something but I can’t tell. There are a couple things distracting me.
Upset that her clothes have flimsy fastenings?
Courtney McClure…she’s done…things…on Onlyfans.
10 years ago I saw a doctor on TV and he said “At 75 you can eat all the jelly doughnuts you want. They won’t hurt you”
I didn’t listen to him, I continued to try to eat carefully, exercise seriously. Now some 10 years later I ask myself “Why?”
Thanks, Ron. Lunch time and I have to eat my veggies and fruit, skip the ice cream. I still don’t pay attention to free medical advice. Now I don’t exercise, that’s sort of my reward. At least the family doc doesn’t pester me about vaccines or high blood pressure.
The trick is to make it to 75 before you start eating all the doughnuts.
“But as it is, we are fiery and fluent in the schoolroom, and if some trivial question about one of these points comes up, we are able to pursue the logical consequences; yet drag us into practical application, and you will find us miserable shipwrecked mariners. ”
He just defined every Six Sigma white belt ever.
Black Belts are like “Hold ma beer!”
From the morning links, on Eric Adams: “Does this guy think it should be illegal for people to move freely around the country? Or is he just a big, fat hypocrite?”
Porque no los dos?
He’s walking a very thin tightrope. He can’t handle the illegals but he dare not place blame where it lies. Remember the investigations that suddenly happened when he was on his way to DC? Are those still going on?
Most likely not. The news reports go cold after November 28th of 2023. Isn’t that surprising?
I live in the NYC area, and there hasn’t been a peep about them since Adams started towing the lion.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Last I heard they removed his staffer who played lead on the behavior, but I don’t they canned her.
They did search her place.
After that crickets.
Anti-government extremism
Lawyers for Elon Musk’s SpaceX alleged in a lawsuit Thursday that the National Labor Relations Board’s in-house courts are unconstitutional and the agency should be prohibited from taking enforcement actions against it.
The company has been embroiled in employment-related complaints with the NLRB and other federal agencies. If successful, the suit would immediately throw the NLRB’s authority to police the workplace into chaos and create a thorny political issue in an area that for decades has divided Congress.
The complaint, filed in the southern district of Texas, relies heavily on a case currently pending before the Supreme Court, Jarkesy v. SEC. The plaintiff in that case alleges agency tribunals infringe on the constitutional right to a jury trial in civil cases and if administrative law judges — as utilized by the NLRB and many other federal agencies — violate the constitution’s separation of powers.
——-
Citing a Federalist Paper written by James Madison, it compares the NLRB’s structure to “the very definition of tyranny.”
The filing comes on the heels of NLRB prosecutors issuing a complaint against the company accusing it of illegally firing eight employees who had circulated a letter in 2022 criticizing Musk, its combative CEO. The letter criticized him “for issuing inappropriate, disparaging, sexually charged comments on Twitter,” their lawyers told the NLRB. (Musk also owns the social media platform and rebranded it as X.)
Sounds like a group of people engaged in not-so-quiet-quitting.
Maybe I’m just dumb, but I don’t see why or how the NLRB should have the power to intervene in this internal employment issue. These people obviously find the conditions of employment intolerable. Let them go work for Uber, or 7eleven.
And if the response to employees who “advocate for better working conditions” is no? What then?
Viva la revolución. you have nothing to lose but your chains against the exploiters of the workers.
I think he should throw them a pizza party.
*snicker*
Nice call back.
Musk has spoken openly about his disdain for labor unions, while representatives for his companies have contested allegations that it retaliates against employees for trying to organize or otherwise advocate for better working conditions — activity that is protected under the NLRA.
And if the response to employees who “advocate for better working conditions” is no? What then?
James Who? The guy who wrote in Sanskrit? The guy who lost in Maybury vs Madison because he didn’t understand what the US Constitution meant?

If he read the book’s page, he does, since it says, “205,000 words (700 pages)” right on it.
However, the problem for those guys is AI. Authors are using AI now because they can’t afford humans and the audio actors are really struggling. I’d just as soon pay for a human IF I CAN, and people have been begging me for audiobooks, so…

Woohoo! Pretty soon I’ll be living near the beach!*
*Just kidding, I’m not a fan. But NJ being under water is nice.
Supposedly subsiding at an alarming rate of less than one tenth the rate of continental drift. So the east coast might be under water by the time California rams into Japan.
I don’t think I’ll worry.
The kaiju released by the movement will be epic!
“Levees are heavy, and when they’re set on land that’s already subsiding, it can accelerate that subsidence,” says independent scientist Natalie Snider, who studies coastal resilience but wasn’t involved in the new research. “It definitely can impact the integrity of the protection system and lead to failures that can be catastrophic.”
Too bad they didn’t interview an engineer. Consolidation caused by the levee is considered during design and shouldn’t pose any risks at all.
Jack Smith has lost the plot.
Jack Smith argued Trump is not immune from prosecution because he could order the murder of his political opponents or sell nuclear secrets.
“The implications of the defendant’s broad immunity theory are sobering. In his view, a court should treat a President’s criminal conduct as immune from prosecution as long as it takes the form of correspondence with a state official about a matter in which there is a federal interest, a meeting with a member of the Executive Branch, or a statement on a matter of public concern,” according to Jack Smith’s 82-page filing reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
Jack Smith’s team argued that if Trump is protected by the presidential immunity argument, what could stop him from telling his “inciting his supporters during a State of the Union address to kill opposing lawmakers…”
“That approach would grant immunity from criminal prosecution to a President who accepts a bribe in exchange for directing a lucrative government contract to the payer; a President who instructs the FBI Director to plant incriminating evidence on a political enemy; a President who orders the National Guard to murder his most prominent critics; or a President who sells nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary, because in each of these scenarios, the President could assert that he was simply executing the laws; or communicating with the Department of Justice; or discharging his powers as Commander-in-Chief; or engaging in foreign diplomacy. Under the defendant’s framework, the Nation would have no recourse to deter a President from inciting his supporters during a State of the Union address to kill opposing lawmakers—thereby hamstringing any impeachment proceeding—to ensure that he remains in office unlawfully,” Jack Smith wrote.
Just default Bad Orange Man. He is too dangerous to be given a chance to prove his innocence.
inciting his supporters during a State of the Union address to kill opposing lawmakers: Democrats have done that, repeatedly, during other speeches. Maxine Waters comes to mind.
immunity from criminal prosecution to a President who accepts a bribe in exchange for directing a lucrative government contract to the payer: See Joe Biden.
a President who instructs the FBI Director to plant incriminating evidence on a political enemy: See Hillary Clinton, McCain and dozens others involved in the pee papers, etc… Never mind the whole Russian collusion thing.
a President who orders the National Guard to murder his most prominent critics: Almost! Obama did have a kill list. It wasn’t for the National Guard to fulfill though.
A President who sells nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary: That has no doubt already happened. Cannot point to a specific example.
These people are mentally ill. That’s the way I look at it now. And I hope others are seeing it too. Just imagine him sitting in a pool of his own urine, rocking back and forth, repeating “Hitler’s soul is in Trump. Trump is a threat to democracy. Trump is out to kill us all.”
See my note above. It is the biggest case of projection ever. And it goes on and on. The lefties behave like abusive spouses who project all their problems onto other people.

Karine Jean-Pierre Says Biden Has Done More To Preserve Democracy Than Any Other Dictator In History
Media believe President Biden has been prepping a rousing speech in recent days to be delivered on the anniversary of January 6th that will in no way resemble a maniacal dictator calling for death and pestilence against his detractors. Biden is set to deliver the address in front of a giant, recently-commissioned portrait of himself holding a sword and petting a hairless cat.
New Star Wars Film To Feature Female Jedi Who Turns To The Dark Side At The Same Time Every Month
Obaid-Chinoy said they did extensive research on why a lady Jedi might turn evil once a month and discovered that mostly it relates to the fact that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, and suffering leads to women needing a little alone time, a good bar of chocolate, and a hot bath.
At publishing time, focus groups viewing the film reported slight uneasiness watching the main character yell at restaurant servers, stuff her face full of McDonald’s french fries, and cry uncontrollably over an off-handed comment made by one of her male Jedi counterparts.
Return of the Menses.

What is sobering is the sight of this grossly deranged person in a position of power. He believes in government power so broad as to make the Divine Right of Kings seem petty in comparison. He is a menace to freedom lovers everywhere.
OT:
The guy I had to fire Dec 1 for bad behavior (who then went on to have a mental health breakdown a couple of days later) is at it again.
He still wants to sue the company (on what grounds is tough to pick out but I think he claims we discriminated against him for being neurodivergent).
He’s also texting one of my current direct reports who’s getting tired of it.
But what took the cake yesterday was a Reddit post slandering the company and picking out some people by name, including yours truly (at least he said I was a good boss).
And then he posted a ten minute rant on YouTube, dissing the company, again naming names, and saying he is going to go off on his own to solve the problem of nuclear fusion.
The company got Reddit and YouTube to take down the posts. But shouldn’t the company be doing more to protect itself AND to get this guy to stop the personal harassment?
Is there legal recourse when no actual violence has happened? Do we have to wait until someone gets hurt??
The company should have saved the posts and harrassing texts as evidence.
Enough evidence that he is harassing and/or threatening towards the company and its employees gets you into restraining order territories.
Violating such an order gets into arrests.
Physical harm is not a prerequisite for action.
Note, I am not a lawyer, or privvy to the nuances of law in the state where this is happening, so there may be some other details I’ve overlooked in the process.
We saved all the texts and emails. HR saved the YouTube video.
Oh, good.
Better to have it and not need it. Though it sounds like he’s going to need some formal intervention. Which, sadly, will play into the persecution complex of his existing issues. But he also can’t keep harassing people.
for being neurodivergent
“We don’t employ insane people.”
Stalking & harassment are crimes.
The company lawyer is getting a cease and desist for the public postings but says no restraining order until clear threats of violence.
WA state, right?
https://www.courts.wa.gov/forms/documents/PO%20Brochure_2023_01.pdf
*shrug*
Good find. I might use that.
Who represents your company legally? Sounds as if lawyer (or cop!) needs to intimidate him, although his mental illness might make him interpret it as persecution.
Yeah. That’s my concern too. Do people in a psychotic state give a hang about restraining orders? Is it a red cape to a bull?
He still wants to sue the company (on what grounds is tough to pick out but I think he claims we discriminated against him for being neurodivergent).
He will undoubtedly find a sympathetic ear at the NLRB. Maybe they will order the company to reinstate him, with a retroactive raise and promotion.
I think I have sufficient evidence that we terminated him before he was actually hospitalized. So we should be in the clear.
But then again.,,
I don’t remember if you are in a legal CC state. I would be looking to ensure I was protected as much as humanly possible. Sounds like this employee is a ongoing and future problem. I had some anonymous harassment from a guy I laid off, but nothing that could be actionable.
WA state is “shall issue” CC.
,em>These people are mentally ill.
Why would you say that? Just because they believe they can look into a man’s soul, and see what he is capable of with a sufficient degree of certitude as to justify protecting society from his as yet unrealized destruction? That just makes sense. Why wait for Trump to enslave the world when he can be stopped by the forces of righteousness?
Pre-crime. Prior restraint is the only way to go. Incarceration and fines before the crime is committed avoids any unpleasantness from occuring.
They are convinced Trump is the reincarnation of Hitler. And what’s the first thing you do if you ever get a time machine? You kill baby Hitler, by any means necessary. This is their chance to be the heroes of history, killing Hitler before he can do any harm.
kill baby Hitler
But baby Hitler is innocent.
Can I go back and kill Marx instead?
If I wanted to hook up a line of LEDs to a battery pack to add a light to something (Say with a pair of AAs), should the LEDs be in parallel or series?

More idiots think they can interfere with a private entity’s election process.
A petition filed by five voters on Thursday seeks to bar former President Donald Trump from the Illinois Republican primary election ballot in March, claiming he is ineligible to hold office because he encouraged and did little to stop the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The petition, similar to those filed in more than a dozen other states, relies on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits anyone from holding office who previously has taken an oath to defend the Constitution and then later “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the country or given “aid or comfort” to its enemies.
The opposite is true. And it’s not relevant anyway. He was president at the time. I don’t think you can “insurrect” your own government. And it is nice to see that you think protesting citizens are the enemies of the state.
Civil War 2.0 — Bigger and Better than Ever.
It won’t go any better for the Democrats than the first one.
I’ve been saying this for years, but people are so short sighted when it comes to political crap. If they can take Trump off the ballot, there’s no reason a few red states couldn’t find a reason to remove Biden from their ballots. Hell, there would be nothing stopping them from removing the Democrat party from ballots altogether. But as I said earlier, if you’re stopping the second coming of Hitler, nothing is off the table.
All it takes is one GOP SoS to state that running for office as a Democrat is an act of insurrection. Not only is any Team Blue candidate immediately disqualified, but so are any and all current elected officials who ran as Democrats.
The bigger problem is that it is not even the ballot, it’s the primary ballot.
This is their chance to be the heroes of history, killing Hitler before he can do any harm.
Nobody wants to be Neville Chamberlain. They all think they’re Patton.
They all think they’d hide Anne Frank, too. Spoiler alert: they wouldn’t.
No one wants to admit they aren’t the hero.
This is what I like about JBP. I like that he acknowledges that people have the capability for evil and that virtue is knowing that and how you control that capability for evil. (That is not to say that people aren’t fundamentally good; I think most people are fundamentally good until their backs are against the wall.)
I have a dark side. I’ve always known it. I can be very cold about some things that other people find horrifying. That’s okay. I’m probably never going to be in a position to pursue such coldness.
Anyway, he states that if you DON’T have a dark side, you are NOT virtuous. You’re just useless.
Goes along with — if you don’t have the ability to commit violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.
Yes. That was what I was trying to think of and said it wrong.
A lot of them would be the ones kicking in the door.
And it is nice to see that you think protesting citizens are the enemies of the state.
Petition for redress of grievances is just fancy dogwhistling for insurrection and open revolt.
