They Will Shove This In Your Face

In this Daily Stoic episode, Ryan Holiday draws on his conversation with classicist James Romm to explore the slippery slope of moral compromise. The core warning: a single ethical breach sets a precedent that makes future transgressions easier. Holiday reflects on Seneca's life at Nero's court, where incremental rationalizations led to devastating consequences. The episode is a call to guard integrity fiercely at the first temptation.
