Description
Hercules (not the Disney version) is faced with the choice between 2 Goddesses, but one is misleading him on the nature of pleasure. This story sets up the important things to be wary of when dealing with pleasure.
Bruce recounts his experience at hippy camp and a tempting offer to join "The Festival of Yes." Though extremely tempted, he turns down this experience that targets the basest pleasures and we discuss the remedy to the desire for pleasures as an end to themselves.
We are treated to the "Bruce Talks About Economics Corner" and enlightened by the word-a-day segment. The Stoic Reimagining for today is a Stoic Hymn produced by Bruce and sung by friend of the show Joseph.
