For the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, the only thing we can totally control, and therefore the only thing we should ever worry about, is our own judgment about what is good.

This is brilliant! I have a new history/philosophy channel and posting on stoicism today, if you have time to take a look (and follow if you like it 😃) that’d be hugely appreciated
Stoicism emerged as a result to cyclical bouts of totalitarianism in Greece. His philosophy would be the same. It’s the philosophy of finding ways of being happy when everything is sh*t.
Ok, I did read the piece. It's from December 2016, but it holds up well. Practicing stoicism may save your mental health and make you feel better physically, but I still think we need outrage to fight Trump 2.0.
sound but maybe we shouldn't give up on trying to have some control over things that on initial analysis might seem beyond us. Wonder if a stoic would make a good campaigner?
