<p>It continues to fascinate how most wisdom consistently traces back to what philosophers said over 2000 years ago, across continents, cultures, or developed in parallel. Yet, the wisdom occasionally sounds trite, right? Unwarranted, because to this day we still haven't made it our own, at all. We still falter. We are still equally enslaved to our impulses as we have been for millennia. Is there any hope left? As much as I love powerful aphorisms that can instantly change the course of life by upending one's perspective, it remains a battle of a few against many. I often wish it were possible to simply push a button to pause libido at will. Science has superseded philosophy in many a subject, perhaps this case should be no different. Especially considering that in the year 1, philosophers stood head-to-head against 300 million people, whereas today they're head-to-head against 8 billion of them fuckers&nbsp;<span class="source">[]</span>—pun very much intended.</p>
