"I owe you an explanation. If you've been following my content, you've noticed I went quiet on philosophy and Stoicism. I didn't give up - I've been on a journey that led me somewhere unexpected."
The Truth
"Here's what happened: I hit a wall with Stoicism. Don't get me wrong - Stoicism saved me, helped me crawl out of a dark hole. But I realized that while it's an incredible foundation, it has gaps for our modern world.
Stoicism was founded around 300 BC by Zeno of Citium. It contains profound truths, but some things feel incomplete. We're dealing with challenges the ancient Stoics never faced - information overload, what we now know about psychology, neuroscience, longevity science."
The Discovery
"I started discovering techniques that went beyond traditional Stoic advice:
Practical methods for handling modern distractions without burning out
Evidence-based approaches to breaking bad habits that actually stick
Health and longevity strategies the ancients couldn't imagine
Advanced emotional techniques that go deeper than 'just accept what you can't control'
The truth is, we constantly get in our own way. Sometimes traditional Stoic advice isn't enough."
The Solution
"So I started building something new. I call it Pragmasophia - from the Greek words 'pragma' meaning action, and 'sophia' meaning wisdom. Practical wisdom for modern life.
This isn't a finished system - it's evolving as I develop and test it. Think ancient wisdom meeting modern science, creating philosophy that works when you get punched in the face, not just in theory."
The Mistake & Moving Forward
"Here's my mistake: I stopped sharing while developing these ideas. I thought I needed it all figured out first. Wrong. Philosophy develops through conversation and community.
So I'm back. I'll share this journey - the integration of ancient wisdom with modern insights, practical techniques that actually work in our chaotic world. You'll see Pragmasophia evolve in real time."
Close
"This isn't about throwing away Stoicism - it's about building on that foundation while incorporating everything we've learned since 300 BC.
Welcome to Pragmasophia. This is just the beginning."
