Was just thinking the same as we Australians come to a 2025 national election within months.
These philosophies and so many others around, wisdom, truth, integrity vs power, control, valuelessness of human life, are so far removed from political dialogue, manipulation and reduced use of critical thinking capabilities.
I was just thinking earlier today about how you never hear a politician proclaiming that the implementation of their policies are making people happier. GDP and ultimately the economic growth of the nation state are the metrics by which success and advancement are measured, whilst people become more unhealthy, stressed and lonelier - this is why the antidote of Stoicism is so valuable.
Wish you could give a daily talk in some parliaments ...
Could not agree more!

A paradigm-shift is more than overdue ...
