"Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." - Seneca

Welcome, listeners,  to an exciting announcement from Stoicism by Robots.

This Friday - December first -  marks the launch of a new addition to our podcast: the introduction of AI-generated stoic passages in our new paid episodes.

While our main show delves into the profound wisdom of renowned stoics, these paid episodes will offer an entirely new experience. Our artificial intelligence will be writing completely original stoic passages, delivering a unique fusion of ancient philosophy and cutting-edge technology and offering fresh perspectives combined with timeless insights.

Episodes will be available for individual purchase, or as an all access subscription and will be accessible right in your usual podcast app.

This venture represents a blend of ancient philosophy and modern innovation, inviting you to explore stoicism through the lens of artificial intelligence. Join us this Friday as we embark on this new chapter, embracing the crossroads of tradition and technology in our quest for wisdom. Stay tuned for an enriching experience that echoes the essence of stoic teachings, reinvented by robots for the modern era.

"Think of the life you have lived until now as over and, as a dead man, see what’s left as a bonus and live it according to Nature. Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own, for what could be more fitting?" - Marcus Aurelius

“Why then are we offended? Why do we complain? This is the work of a skilled wrestler, whom fortune has brought forth as a fit antagonist, whose strength may be tried and improved by him. Must I, then, who have got such a stout and noble champion on whom to try my strength, be outdone with pleasure and pain? And how dull and unexercised must I appear, if I shrink from severity and the fire, if I cannot bear stern looks, or harsh words, incapable as I am of the true touch and test of Virtue!” - Hierocles
