A community about happy living. Thoughts and praxis about long-term wellbeing, contentment, and personal fulfillment.
A place to post profound, preferably long-form thoughts and discussions about such concepts which might not easily fit in other communities.
Probably will remain just a community for the admin to post stuff they found interesting, but feel free to post some stuff you find that matches or start discussions.
Rules
- No memes
- No toxic "wholesome" content.
- No smug, "dunking" or "better than thou" posts about others. (Community is meant to focus on personal improvement and fulfillment, not negativity and how we're doing it better.)
- No woo-woo, spiritualism and religion. (Community is not about spiritualism and new age mumbo-jumbo and things like "The Secret". It's a purely materialistic and secular space.)

Eudaimonia @lemmy.dbzer0.com barsoap @lemm.ee Assent and Suspension of Assent to Kataleptic Impressions
Long story short, found a paper. Abstract:
It is often thought that, for the Stoics, assent and the suspension of assent to kataleptic impressions is voluntary in the sense that one can deliberate about assenting or suspending assent. Against this view, I examine the relevant sources closely and argue that they point in a different direction: assent and suspension of assent to kataleptic impressions is not a matter of deliberation.

However, we can acquire this disposition through training in dialectic. This means that deliberation can be involved in the ac
Post truth society and "cabin in the woods syndrome"
(art by taracod, there will also be some homework assigned for further reading at the end :), i suggest you check that out)
Hello, long time no significant post, i have a heavy hitter this time. It's time to get comfy for this one, I've been locked in since the last few months, and i have a prognosis to make. This one is going to be a bit briefer than the last few, for good reason.
First things first, post truth society. We are definitionally living in a form of society where truth is unimportant, i know it, you know, I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it, truth holds almost no value to our collective society at the moment.

Frankly, this is a topic for another time, but it has an important tangential relevance so i don't want to leave it completely behind here.
Secondly, what i like to refer to as "cabin in the woods syndrome" is that feeling you get where you simply want to leave society, move to a cabin
