Worrying Is a Waste of Life – Michel de Montaigne and the Art of Caring Less

Описание: Support this channel:    / @nullsophy  

ATTENTION: our videos explore intense thoughts and radical authors — the goal is to provoke reflection, not to encourage suicide. This space exists to expose ideas we avoid in daily life, to think about the human condition in its harshness and contradictions. It is not recommended for minors. If you or someone you know is at risk, seek immediate help (local emergency services) or talk to someone you trust — asking for help is always an act of courage.

Worry feels responsible. It feels mature. It feels necessary.
But what if it’s only fear rehearsing tragedy?
In this video, we explore the philosophy of Michel de Montaigne (Essais, 1580), alongside Stoic insights from Seneca (Letters to Lucilius, c. 65 AD), to confront a brutal truth: most of what we fear never comes to pass — and yet we pay for it in advance with our peace, our sleep, and our limited time.
Blending philosophy, neuroscience, and existential realism, this is not a motivational talk. It is a dismantling. A quiet rebellion against unnecessary suffering.
Because if imagination can create torment, it can also create freedom.
Less anticipation. More presence.
Less fear. More life.
