that's not what it is!

2019-10-13 18:50:39 UTC  

stoicism is just only paying attention to what you *do* have control over

2019-10-13 18:50:44 UTC  

letting go of the stuff you don't

2019-10-13 19:16:38 UTC  

The problem with that it relys on what you think, not do

2019-10-13 19:17:33 UTC  

All things in nature prefer to take the path of least resistance or expense

2019-10-13 19:18:19 UTC  

stoicism from what i understand is just self assertion predicated only on whats within the immediate control of the self

2019-10-13 19:19:20 UTC  

Control and power is earned by manipulating matter and people around you.

2019-10-13 19:19:42 UTC  

Thus stoicis will forver be stuck being wagie slavies

2019-10-13 19:20:19 UTC  

Which is perfect for most people

2019-10-13 19:20:26 UTC  

Because that's all they're good for

2019-10-13 19:23:28 UTC  

what?

2019-10-13 19:23:30 UTC  

that's super cringe

2019-10-13 19:23:33 UTC  

"what you think, not do?"

2019-10-13 19:23:36 UTC  

how do you mean?

2019-10-13 19:23:48 UTC  

Exactly

2019-10-13 19:24:05 UTC  

Perfect enbodiment of a stoic cuck

2019-10-13 19:24:16 UTC  

Stoicuck

2019-10-13 19:24:19 UTC  

epicureanism is cuckoldry

2019-10-13 19:24:38 UTC  

marcus aurelius, zeno &c., these people weren't poor or powerless

2019-10-13 19:24:51 UTC  

Not a epicurean

2019-10-13 19:24:57 UTC  

opposite of stoicism

2019-10-13 19:25:19 UTC  

You think if oppose one i'm the opposite?

2019-10-13 19:25:24 UTC  

Lol

2019-10-13 19:25:26 UTC  

no

2019-10-13 19:25:29 UTC  

I didn't say you were

2019-10-13 19:25:53 UTC  

Your comment on epicureanism is a veiled accusation

2019-10-13 19:25:59 UTC  

nope

2019-10-13 19:26:12 UTC  

Alright deny it mortal

2019-10-13 19:26:29 UTC  

stop posting cringe

2019-10-13 19:26:48 UTC  

See what your philosophy will bring you in my day of super villainous reckoning

2019-10-13 19:26:58 UTC  

worked pretty well for all the people before me

2019-10-13 19:27:01 UTC  

happy with doing it myself

2019-10-13 19:28:00 UTC  

See where it brings the termination of your existence and your progeny, because of your lack of attempt to action in favor of preserving some false notion of mental peace

2019-10-13 19:28:38 UTC  

you clearly don't understand stoicism well

2019-10-13 19:28:44 UTC  

we have full control over what we can exert force on

2019-10-13 19:28:52 UTC  

but I'm gay so I don't have control over my progeny

2019-10-13 19:28:53 UTC  

so

2019-10-13 19:28:56 UTC  

I suppose you're right there

2019-10-13 19:29:07 UTC  

Except you do

2019-10-13 19:29:47 UTC  

Being gay is choice predicated on enabling behavior and action

2019-10-13 19:30:01 UTC  

i can't
