The World Feels Unstable — Here’s Why You’re Anxious

Описание: We live in a period that feels uniquely unstable - geopolitical conflict, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and environmental strain. Even for those living physically safe lives, there is a psychological tension in the background. A sense that something is about to break.

But from a historical perspective, instability is not new.

In this video, I explore what the Stoic philosophers of ancient Greece and Rome would say about anxiety in an uncontrollable world. Drawing from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and the Stoic distinction between what is within our control and what is not, this piece examines the relationship between uncertainty, expectation, and modern psychological distress.

If anxiety today is rising, it may not be because the world has become uniquely dangerous - but because we have grown accustomed to stability, predictability, and control.

This is not a self-help prescription.
It is a philosophical lens.

A reflection on uncertainty, expectation, and the limits of human control.
