We Strive for a Just and Rational World
We Strive for Peaceful Life & Well-Being
Our approach is different than other philosophical systems. Rather than simply deliver information, we teach it like martial arts.
Daniel Donche Jr
FounderWemodel our methods after martial arts because we believe in self-defense, but not just the physical kind. We are attacked far more mentally and emotionally (daily) than we are physically.
So we take this approach. Loricism is a living philosophy that aims to teach self-mastery over time. Consider this: if you took a semester of karate, would you be a master of it?
Loricism combines effective techniques and ideas from multiple domains: philosophy, psychology, mythology, religion, etc., to help you overcome the obstacles holding you back from being your best self.
It is not simply self-help or Stoicism repackaged. It is a completely new system, designed for the modern world.
Our Approach
- Find and remove the obstacles to progress.
- Constant improvement of self, ideas, and methods.
- Always open to critique and updating to avoid becoming dogmatic.
- Practical learning over rote memorization or lecture style information delivery.
- Heavy emphasis on self-reflection and taking ownership of our lives, thoughts, and actions.
- Inclusivity over combativeness; we would rather win someone over than push them away.
- Seeking wisdom from all sources. We take inspiration and solid knowledge from religion, philosophy, science, psychology, mythology, the arts, etc.
