You Can't Outsource Wisdom: Bestselling Author Ryan Holiday on What the Stoics Have to Say About AI
About this episode
Ryan Holiday discusses the relevance of Stoicism in the age of AI and the importance of personal wisdom.
Ryan Holiday, bestselling author and writer on Stoicism, joins Beyond the Prompt to explore what the Stoics can teach us about living and working in the age of AI. As technology makes it easier to outsource thinking, writing, and decision-making, Ryan argues that wisdom still comes from doing the work yourself. The conversation explores cognitive offloading, agency, change, and why the defining skill of the AI era may be developing a finely tuned “bullshit detector.”
