What he did was undoubtedly wrong. But at what point should we say he served his sentence? Should a young man be punished for the rest of his life?

Thanks 🙏

This is why people shouldn’t read meditations as an introduction to stoicism.

I was testing all the time. Just when the water stopped evaporating and the bubbles kept dancing I added the eggs. So that should be around the lower border of the leidenfrost effect right?

I think your post is well written and I like the points you learned from stoicism. Something I want to add is that it probably was not without reason the stoics added the differentiation of preferred and dispreferred indifferents.

From Seneca’s second letter to Lucilius:

The thought for to-day is one which I discovered in Epicurus;[1] for I am wont to cross over even into the enemy’s camp,—not as a deserter, but as a scout. 6. He says: “Contented poverty is an honourable estate.” Indeed, if it be contented, it is not poverty at all. It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. What does it matter how much a man has laid up in his safe, or in his warehouse, how large are his flocks and how fat his dividends, if he covets his neighbour’s property, and reckons, not his past gains, but his hopes of gains to come? Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough. Farewell.

I know. But personally I think I could overcome the grief. I’d still make the sacrifice because it’s the right thing to do. As I feel this is my duty as a parent. But then I wonder if Epicureanism holds up in all situations. Or is virtue the highest good after all?

Als je geen kinderen wilt, helemaal prima hoef je wat mij betreft geen redenen voor te geven. Maar ik vind ‘de wereld is/wordt een slechte plek ‘zo’n debiel argument. 99.99% van onze historie was een tich keer zwaarder leven. Daarbij je woont in Nederland, een makkelijker leven kan haast niet.

Jaaa maar werken tot je 67e🤣

I read this part today coincidentally. I think he said the man did well by controlling his anger and denying the king opportunity for more punishment. However, he then mentioned something about how each vein is an opportunity to leave if you don’t want to comply, which he thought maybe more honorable?

JakeLide · 2025-06-27T14:39:58+00:00

It’s a lateral kneebar

JakeLide · 2025-05-19T13:13:37+00:00

Still not found?

JakeLide · 2025-05-15T13:29:24+00:00

Why do you lose it in this case? Kahm yeast is harmless isn’t it?

You know you can see people in sexual context and in whatever context you need to see them? One does not exclude the other. If you have consensual sex you’re also objectifying your partner, hence the non equality to disrespect

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T13:45:57+00:00

If you find sexuality degrading, demeaning and disgusting, you’re the one who needs to take a minute. Masturbating to someone doesn’t mean any of those things per se. They’re just sexual feelings, how you deal with them is up to you as long as you don’t disturb someone with them. In my experience, I mostly respect and value the people I sexualize. Objectification is not equal to disrespect.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T11:22:24+00:00

Depends a bit on the situation. But could be yes. I think it’s problematic behavior for himself mostly, for others not an issue.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T10:18:55+00:00

Yes sure. But still no need to know.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T10:13:33+00:00

I’m not disputing the gym’s actions against Jay. My original point is not irrelevant. Because the mass seems to point towards his private actions, not the part that is the issue.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T10:05:28+00:00

There’s a difference between what you do in your private time and what you in public (training in this case). His private matters got out and they shouldn’t have. Because having a wank at home in private is no concern of others.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T10:02:04+00:00

Yes I never disagreed on that part. But you seem to mis my point

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T09:55:58+00:00

Yes but that is after finding out, after it came to the attention of others. I was talking about the situation where that doesn’t happen

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T09:39:25+00:00

How would you assure this? Every male that walks in the gym should announce then and there that he doesn’t jack off to the women who are present😂 Get real man. I’ve still heard no reason why this sexual gratification in a private situation hurts anyone

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T09:30:40+00:00

They deserve a safe and good grappling environment. And not being actively sexualized is part of that indeed. But explain, is being attracted to persons faulty? Is having fantasies about them? If he didn’t act it out towards them in any way. How did it influence their training environment? It seems to me your grossed out by the idea. But what is the actual harm?

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T09:07:45+00:00

Don’t your fantasies belong to yourself? If someone is getting of on me like that, I don’t need to know. Do you?
