Epicurus Hacked Physics to Cure Anxiety

Introduction: Think "Epicurean" means expensive luxury and excess? You’ve fallen for a 2,000-year-old smear campaign. In reality, Epicurus lived on bread and water, focusing not on artisanal olives but on curing the soul. This video breaks down how he "hacked" physics to build a mental fortress against anxiety. What You’ll Learn: The Materialist View: Why understanding yourself as a "clump of atoms" is the first step to therapy. The Swerve (Clinamen): How a tiny bit of random chaos in physics breaks the chain of destiny and proves you have free will. Static vs. Kinetic Pleasure: Why the absence of pain (tranquility) is a higher goal than the temporary dopamine hit of a "night out". The Two Boss Battles: How to use logic to defeat the ultimate anxieties: the fear of death and the fear of the gods. Closing Thought: Modern life is often a "leaking bucket"—we try to cure anxiety by adding more scrolling and buying. Epicurus suggests we stop adding and start patching the holes. If you only need bread, water, and friends to be happy, you are invincible. SOURCE MATERIAL & CREDITS: Based on "Philosophy: The Great Thinkers" by Philip Stokes.
