In this New Year’s episode, we talk about Nietzsche’s idea of amor fati from The Gay Science, where he says we should love our fate, not just accept it. We compare this to the Stoics, who aimed for calm acceptance, and explore why Nietzsche thought their approach was too passive. We also look at how Heraclitus influenced Nietzsche’s view of life as constant change and fire. Finally, we discuss what amor fati means for us today and how it can help us face challenges in modern life.
