Look, if we were in charge, we would do it differently. We would be honest. We would be fair. We would look out for the little guy. We would stick to our values and not be captured by powerful interests. We would communicate better. We would collaborate better. Oh, if only we were in charge—if only we were president or emperor… But we are not and likely never will be. But you know what we are in charge of? We are in charge of our own lives. Musonius Rufus said that while it was important for every king to be a philosopher, he also believed that all of us needed to be kingly people. That is to say, that we can—and indeed urgently must—be honest in our own lives. We can be fair. We can look out for the little guy. We can stick to our values and not be captured by the incentives of our sphere or industry. We can communicate. We can collaborate. It would be wonderful if we had more Stoic heads of state but a far more attainable goal is Stoic heads of companies, of families, of communities, of organizations and institutions. And not just heads but members too. The good news is that you are already in one or perhaps many of those positions. So get to work. Be what you want to see. Be what we need.
A text arrives: "You owe $5 in tolls. Pay here to avoid penalties." Thousands fall for it, handing over their addresses, card numbers, even SSNs. That's how scammers win and steal your money.
