Why not anime?

Its gay

The modern stoic works diligently and does his duty, then he gets kicked in the balls and gives all his money to his mistress that cucks him regularly.

Also this.

>From the day Zeno became Crates’ pupil, he showed a strong bent for philosophy, though with too much native modesty to assimilate Cynic shamelessness. Hence Crates, desirous of curing this defect in him, gave him a potful of lentil-soup to carry through the Ceramicus; and when he saw that Zeno was ashamed and tried to keep it out of sight, Crates broke the pot with a blow of his staff. As Zeno began to run off in embarrassment with the lentil-soup flowing down his legs, Crates chided, "Why run away, my little Phoenician? Nothing terrible has befallen you."

The founder of the Stoics was an autist, of course modern Stoics would love vidya and tendies.

So are stoics.

>good and evil dichotomy
Get back to me in 2000 years faggot, the church is dead and so is your stoicist interpretation of it.

L.M.A.O
Couldn't cut it as a cynic so he became a retard kek

Humans lean towards the good in life, not the bad. It is good to be good.

Are stoics the guys who were too socially anxious in highschool to have a personality so they just stood around trying to look tough?

That's basically it yeah. Stoicism might be the most boring hellenistic school, but don't tell them that, they start crying on the inside.

I've been on Yea Forums for over a decade, people on here have been failing to discuss stoicism for over a decade, not one person could even be bothered to read the fucking Enchiridion. It is literal bulletpoints that you could skim in 10 minutes, if you put in the minimum effort required you would know more about stoicism than all of Yea Forums. Most peoples understanding boils down to retarded shit like this

all the time i asked myself what seneca did with his time, and he literally wrote recipes.

>strums a guitar confidently but poorly

Why does stocitsm make Yea Forums so angry?

stoics are the only philosophers to actually achieve eudaimonia and it makes pseuds seeth

Cause the Nietzsche posters completely destroy it every time it gets mentioned and it is getting boring.

Nietzsche posters are teenagers.

I think competitive video games can teach you a lot about people and yourself as well.

Because despite being wrong they are still taken seriously

so what's good in your opinion dumbass?
Morals are simply manufactured and usually derived from what benefits you when others see you, this doesn't mean humans naturally lean towards this or that, it just means that they are conditioned to please society.
Ignorant faggots like you are the worst. Read a book perhaps, and stop posting on /pol/

Stoicism is the worst philosophy ever, it takes this mantle of being a "natural philosophy" because supposedly nature is apathetic, but nature is not a living being, its just the entirety of life and being on earth, so as a stoic, all you really try to be is a passive cuck, who watches life with a masturbatory attitude of being above mere emotions, when nature (their rolemodel) is the very source of life, passion and emotion. Stoicism is philosophy for people who are too simple minded to wrap their head around theories and thoughts so they just say:
>I am a man of stone xD look at me, bask in my apathy mere mortal humanoid haha!!!

Congratulations, you are the 340,894th person on Yea Forums who has failed to understand the stoic concept of "nature". Take a lap and collect your dunce cap you dopey cunt.

Oh, yet another baseless refutation from yet another /pol/ crossposter.
Do tell, oh wise one, in what way do the stoics you adhere to, interpret nature. I'll be waiting for your reply (which will most likely never come, because you just like to spew bullshit)

>Ignorant faggots like you are the worst.
Indeed.

But why is cheating wrong? You just said it's wrong because it is lol

Hey, he's a stoic, he doesn't need to defend himself rationally if he does not want to ;^)

K E K coping modernist stoic

>I am a man of stone xD look at me, bask in my apathy mere mortal humanoid haha!!!
This is clearly a grounded and reasonable argument from a person who has read heavily into Stoicism. I guess the thread is over.

>But why is cheating wrong?
It's giving in to lust, which is a big no no. Why would you waste another second with a woman so repulsively base?

>lust
>big no no
your christianity is showing

Lust is on par with overeating or alcoholism. It's a vice and a betrayal of your husband.

Ah yes, the empty plattitudes posed as a form of ironic criticism.
Maybe offer your deep insight into the stoic mind.

>you'll realize this high-tech hoo-ha was a waste of your life.
Only after my brain is destroyed by Alzheimer's disease.

I think they would test their temperament playing games with toxic community

this, enchiridion is like jordan memerson but if it was actually good
because they read aurelius and not epictetus or seneca
this is literally nietzsche's big argument against stoicism though
