About Ramses

I am an educator turned data analyst. Through my work, I got to travel the world and live the life I dreamed of. Philosophy entered my life at the right moment when I was about to become seriously ill because of my outrageous lifestyle. Philosophy has literally saved my life.

My source of wisdom is Stoicism, an Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium around 300 BCE. As I became interested in Socrates' life, I discovered several philosophies that tried to distill and teach his wisdom. Stoicism, often dubbed ancient Western Buddhism, was the philosophy that caught my attention and has helped me live a calmer life for the past four years.
