Marcus Aurelius: The Philosopher Roman Emperor

- December 01, 2024

Marcus Aurelius is one of history's most celebrated figures, known not only as a Roman emperor but also as a profound philosopher. His thoughts, captured in his personal writings called Meditations, continue to inspire people worldwide, offering timeless wisdom on how to live a meaningful and virtuous life. But why is Marcus Aurelius so famous, and what are the key ideas that make his philosophy so enduring? Who is Marcus Aurelius? A Philosopher King: Marcus Aurelius ruled as Emperor of Rome from 161 to 180 AD, a time marked by significant challenges, including wars and plagues. Despite these pressures, he is remembered for his calm, rational leadership and his ability to balance the demands of ruling an empire with the pursuit of philosophy. His reign is often seen as the pinnacle of the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire.

How to Fix PS5 Pro Lag/Stutter Issue

- March 09, 2025

After a recent patch update, my PS5 started acting strangely, with increasingly noticeable lag issues while editing videos in Share Factory. I also noticed that some games weren’t running as smoothly as before. After doing some digging, I came across a helpful Reddit thread where others reported similar problems. One popular suggestion was to do a power cycle, which slightly improved things- but the issue still lingered.

Here’s what to do: 1. Force shut down your PS5 by holding the power button until the console turns off—don’t use the controller or go through the standard shutdown process. 2. Turn the console back on. It should boot into Safe Mode , informing you that the system wasn’t shut down properly. It will attempt to scan and fix any system errors- which, ironically, seems to...

What can be done about Food Waste?

- July 03, 2014

This BBC business report shows some staggering statistics of how much food is being wasted globally. And apart from household waste, a lot of food actually never made it to our fridge. It is encouraging to see individual farmers partnering with local charities or businesses to make use of perfectly edible produce which were excluded by supermarkets due to less than perfect appearances. Charities and environmental agencies should actively pursue this type of win-win ideas. It is a brilliant policy (although it could take sometime for restaurants to get used to) to require New York City's restaurants stop sending food waste to landfills in 2015 and encourage the use of alternative operations. However, I do hope that restaurant businesses are not financially worse off because of these new requirements. If anything, corresponding environmental policies should ensure it is not more expensive or difficult in any way to send waste to these alternative operations. The project ...
