    The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

    “You are afraid to die, but are you alive now?” THAT IS THE QUESTION to reflect upon.
    What exactly does being alive mean?
    Think about it.

    Quick question. Why are you using a picture of a Hesiod sculpture as if it was Seneca? There is only one ancient bust of Seneca.

      Do you mean on the thumbnail or in the video?
      To my knowledge both are artists imaginary portraits of Seneca

      @@VoxStoica The video image is what I noticed. It's an image of the psuedo Seneca or a replica of it. See this for more info.

      That's a different statue. It probably inspired many later artists' impressions but since there aren't really any good images of Seneca I went with an artist's impression. Here's the provenance of the one I used: bit.ly/2yskxop

      Because this whole channel is PSEUDO INTELLECTUAL. This guy does great narrations and has made it chunks and quotable. But he is just a dumbass narrator for not knowing that is not Seneca
