The podcast discussion used Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" as an example of a novel embodying Stoic ideals through the character of Santiago, highlighting his resilience and perseverance despite facing a doomed cause.

"

if you ask anybody what's your favorite book um and it's a novel they're going to tell you the name of a novel because a character sure captured them and um the book in this regard that i always use as an example it's a book about a a book about a stoic okay the old man in the sea of course it's Timingway Santiago is you can drop a plumb line from the stoics to Santiago and and his resilience and his his efforts in what he knows is a doomed cause at the end of the day um it's a gorgeous book and it i read it at least once a year and you can you know you can read it in a sitting in fact the true first edition of the old man in the sea is not a book the true first edition is life magazine it was published in its entirety in life magazine

a man can be destroyed but not defeated i think that's the essence of stoicism and Stockdale certainly that's the that line comes from uh the old man in the sea Santiago has that line and uh it's just a beautiful book and when Santiago finally stumbles back in after his his his tragic but beautiful adventure on the sea that next generation comes along and helps him there's another piece of this which is what we owe to the generation that came before us back to those millennials
