- This page is supposed to cover a project which is to memorize the Enchiridion by Epictetus.
- Similar to memorization of scripture or key works. Most things come back to Epictetus and his teachings. Also, I have received benefit from memorizing other key maxims and teachings.
- Transcribe the entire Enchiridion. For the following reasons:
- Easier for familiarization and review.
- Faster for me to type.
- Attempt to automate certain techniques like the “first letter method.” Which would at least help to compress + help recall.
- Chunk off the entire Enchiridion into digestable pieces. Build a
memory palace around the entire thing. Optimize as we go by:
- Creating and adding to a databse of short/filler/repetitive
words.
- Creating also images for common phrases.
- Creating and adding to a databse of short/filler/repetitive
words.
- Just some initial project outline and layout stuffs.
- Started transcription.
- There have been some accounts that James Stockdale memorised, or
memorised big chunks of the Enchiridion.
- In a recent Interview she noted:
I interviewed Stockdale very late in his life, you know, and he could kind of still memorize this little booklet by heart. It was quite remarkable to me. He really had internalized it. All this resonated with me and I had to think which stoic lessons are really the ones I want to endorse or promote.
- There are some other web accounts that Stockdale had memorised
this.
- In a recent Interview she noted:
- Some quick and dirty commands:
# cat | tr '[:space:]' '[\n*]' | grep -v "^\s*$" | sort | uniq -c | sort -bnr
