Tiberius begins the discussion by exploring the philosophical foundations laid by Epicurus, highlighting the three categories of pleasures and their impact on happiness and manifestation.

Unnatural Pleasures ([00:37]): "It's good to have them, but don't put your happiness there because you might lose them."
While pursuing larger goals and luxuries can be beneficial, Tiberius warns against anchoring happiness solely to these achievements, as their loss can lead to significant dissatisfaction.
