Ian Clary cannot make it today. He's fulfilling his boyhood dream of making it to space. He's a passenger on a flight to the International Space Station. He'll be there for the next week. And he's finally become the astronaut that he's always dreamed that he could be. So his joy is actually our pleasure. His sort of Beatitude we might say is our Felicitas, if we will, if I'm able to use that, so that we can jump back into Boethius with Matthew Hoskin, who has much more capability in this literature than I do.


In this conversation, Wyatt Graham and Matthew Hoskin explore the philosophical insights of Boethius, particularly focusing on the nature of happiness, fortune, and the internal versus external sources of contentment. They discuss the importance of aligning one's internal state with external realities, the role of providence and love in the universe, and the contrasting characters of Theoden and Denethor from Tolkien's works. The conversation emphasizes the need for unchangeable sources of happiness and the significance of relationships and love in achieving true contentment.
