But anyhow, now you know what I meant.

Yes, but you interpreted Google's definition falsely.

And that's why I said that Google's definition is incomplete.

The definition is the end result

Not necessarily.

From what you said, googles definition is the end result

Yes.

But it's incomplete because the person who's in the process of achieving Stoicism's goal, is considered a Stoic, and therefore a part of Stoicism, too.

The definition isn't always the end result, and certainly not in this case.

If you’re in the process of becoming a Stoic, you aren’t a stoic

Not yet

That doesn’t make sense

I didn't say that. I said that the person who is in the process of achieving Stoicism's goal is considered a Stoic.

So a person who is not displaying their emotions, yet can't completely endure pain, is a Stoic, but hasn't achieved Stoicism's goal.

How are they a Stoic if they haven’t yet learned to endure pain without showing emotion(the definition of stoicism)

For example, the goal of Christianity is to reconcile man to God. The person who isn't reconciled to God, but follows the Christian beliefs, values and scripts, is a Christian who hasn't achieved their goal.

@moira I said they can't completely endure it.

Which is partial, which makes them a Stoic, which relates to the example above.

I've got to go, but we can continue this conversation later.

Another definition for stoic is being able to not show whatever you feel and accept whatever happens

Also says it describes anyone who seems to be very emotionless or blank

So being able to endure pain without showing emotion is the end result

However according to 3 sources it’s also the definition

You said being a stoic didn’t require you to not face pain by yourself or not display emotions

Which goes against his definition even if it is the end result

Also the original argument in this debate was whether or not stoicism is for everyone and you and me both agreed it’s not

Don't be a egoist, don't be a hedonist, don't be a subjectivist, because you're literally wrong

End of philosophy

I never said that facing pain while displaying it is Stoicism. What I said, is that a person whose goal is Stoicism's goal, being the endurance of pain or hardship without the display of emotions, and is in the process of achieving this goal, is a Stoic.

Take Christianity, for example. The goal of Christianity is the reconciliation of man to God. As far as I know, no living person I'd reconciled with God, and yet there are approximately two billion Christians out there. Therefore, the end goal of a philosophy, religion, or ideology is not its definition, and that's why I said that Google's definitions are incomplete, and so are these other definitions that you've found.

What I said about the display of emotions, is that, through Stoicism, the person starts by facing/enduring pain or hardship with displaying it, and then, throughout the whole process, they eliminate the display of pain, but that elimination comes naturally - it's not necessarily forced. Whoever forces it to achieve that goal, although they're a Stoic indeed, the way they're trying to achieve Stoicism's goal, is incorrect. @moira

@OrthoGoat Egoism and Hedonism are two unnecessary evils indeed, but subjectivism is the one philosophic ideology which determines the world the best. Objectivism depends on the existence of a higher being and its rules, which is something subjectivism condemns, because in order to understand and determine the world, you must not insert the higher being in your pursuit.

> Don't be a egoist, don't be a hedonist, don't be a subjectivist, because you're literally wrong
"Because you're literally wrong." That's the problem with Objectivism. The lack of arguments, due to the existence of a higher beings' rules and teachings.

Morality is subjective change my mind.

If morality is subjective, then in theory people are free to do whatever they desire, including acts like murder

like im gonna read and respond to all of that

Discord philosophers are not very intellectual generally

same case here

the thing is the higher being exists

thats where subjectivism is idealistic

it wishes that the world was different and imposes that it is

it dosent take a person with an iq over 105 and 5 minutes of free thought to realize that a higher being exists

We deserve to be raped. I don't know why, it’s just a feeling I have

That’s about as far as people go most the time anyway
