–“I hear you’re a stoic.”– (a friend)

I am (exist as) a bag of mostly water and a few chemicals that arranged in a particular order, we call ‘human’. (Although, that’s an opinion others have questioned. 😉 )

I practice a ‘complete’ version of science I call Testimonialism.

That science tells me that stoicism provides the optimum personal mindfulness (mental training). And that Ritual, Feast, and Festival provide the optimum social mindfulness. And that commerce provides the optimum normative mindfulness. And that military service provides the optimum political mindfulness. And that history and heroic fiction we call myth provide the optimum general model of decidability.

My ‘Belief System’ is here….
