Oct 13– "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius translated by George Long

 This isn't the clip I wanted.

Oct 13– Meditations by Marcus Aurelius translated by George Long

Summary: Marcus Aurelius is a good person because of all the people who taught him things along the way.

Commentary: The first half of this is mostly a list of all of people Aurelius looks up to, and fairly vague versions of what they taught him (eg a manly character). The later part is very rambly (more so than the usually somewhat pithy style of most of meditations). I wish it'd just average out in the first place.
