We're all brought up, taught that war is a last resort.

And yet when it comes to international affairs, it's always often a first priority and people are champing at the bit to start going in and killing people.

And what war means isn't,

good guy soldiers versus bad guy soldiers, my concern is always with the civilians, with the kids who become orphans, with the wives who become widows and things like that.

And then communities which are ruined forever.

So I love that quote of his.

I think he's, I mean, the book started, it was going to be,

a recontextualization of Camus' thought.

I was gonna rip off my old buddy, Ryan Holiday, what he did with the Stoics and do about Camus.

And then when I started rereading Camus, I'm like, oh, I've read more into him than is really there.

And then it went into a whole other direction.

Well, more like Camus for today and what his philosophy can teach us, like Ryan did with his many books about the Stoics.

And it was going to be called The Point of Tears.

Yes, but the title was giving me the point of tears.

Yeah, he has so many good lines.

Maybe it's not about- Probably shitty in bed though, right?

Well, no, he was a big Lothario.

He was probably pretty good.

What's Lothario mean?

He got around.
