The Paradox of Philosophical Freedom: Why True Liberation Comes Through Surrender

Reflections from an afternoon wisdom walk During my wisdom walk today, I was listening to the audiobook Epicurus of Samos: His Philosophy and Life when a particular passage hit me: “To win real freedom, you must be the slave of philosophy. The man who submits and surrenders himself to her is emancipated on the spot, for the very service of philosophy is freedom.” I was

Life is a Game (And You’re Already Playing)

A morning revelation sparked by ghosts, boredom, and the art of thriving I woke up this morning with a thought that wouldn’t let go.

Do the thing

Sunday evening. The rain has passed; the clouds linger. I’m out on a wisdom walk letting my feet meet the earth and my thoughts catch up with my breath. The day began scattered.

Philosophy as a Way of Life

This morning, I’m sitting in my in-laws’ conservatory in Bristol, morning light filtering through glass while the rest of the house sleeps. Coffee steam rises between me and the quiet, and somewhere in this threshold between night and day, a question whispers itself awake. It’s one that’s been brewing in the back of my mind like this cup of joe: What if philosophy wasn’t something
