  • Disdain and Discipline S5E44
    Nov 5 2025

    Title: Disdain Things You Cannot Have: Ignoring Them is the Best Revenge


    Description:

    If something is beyond your reach or control, show indifference. By pretending it has no value to you, you take away its power. People who see you uninterested will lose their sense of urgency in presenting that thing to you, giving you the power to walk away when others remain fixated.
