Have you ever thought about your death? “Memento Mori” has been chanted by monks and proclaimed by stoics for hundreds of years. They thought it was important to meditate on their deaths to enrich their lives. In this episode, we discuss Memento Mori as a philosophical practice and explore the modern applications as represented by “YOLO” culture and in cheesy country songs. More importantly, we discuss how this ancient concept may offer freedom in our modern world which is so focused on distraction. Remember, You will die!
