Oddbean new post about login | logout Never complain. Never explain.
too fake... do you really want to live in a world where everyone rides that strategy?
Less complain, more talking.
Less complaining, more action.
True, also more responsibility. #YESTR
Personally yeah I would like to see more stoicism in the world.
whoever survives the next epoch will be a free stoic or a slave fren
to me, stoicism will always be a code word for creeping depression... I'm waiting for post-stoicism American Hodl that'll be whopping people's asses, and righting wrongs. https://youtu.be/v8ouDk2Mayw
I think of stoicism as simply being in control of your reactions.
I sometimes question if self control is a good thing
Let yourself spiral out of control for awhile and see the other side. I’ve done both.
I completely agree that self control is important. after all, we can’t just go around throwing tantrums and hitting people. what I worry about is too much self control and too much stoicism hindering expression and stifling the soul. take stoicism far enough and we basically have the world in that film equilibrium
