This week I’ll be launching the Society of Stoics. It’s going to be pretty rad. Membership coins, a monthly Stoa, weekly journaling prompts, ad-free podcast episodes, and more. Get notified here: list.stoicismpod.com

Depends which Stoicism. The Ancient Greek philosophy and virtue ethics framework, or toxic compartmentalisation and emotional repression?

This isn’t an MA quote, it’s a creative translation from Gregory Hays on the closing bit of Meditations 5.33. I’ll thread this, if you’re interested.

If it’s not our book, it’s this one. Easily the two best introductions to Stoicism — and, honestly, though it will seem self-serving — reading ours first will set you up to appreciate (and comprehend) John’s better. Stop reading Holiday, start reading actual Stoicism material 💛

Just a reminder 😊

What limit of Stoicism (the philosophy, I’m assuming you mean) does this illustrate?

Stoics must be brave… but should the be “sushi at the community leisure center cafe” brave? Stay tuned and find out.

So Elon Musk is calling astronauts “retarded” now? We have people in power just openly, without ramifications, using this kind of language? Not just without ramifications, but with a large portion of America cheering it on?

Have a countenance of a reserved nature isn’t Stoicism. I will write an article, for any publication who wants it, explaining actual Stoicism to their readers. I mean, ffs, this has got to stop.

I have a feeling this isn’t going to be Stoicism but broicism.

First mommy daddy date in 10 months! Thank you day care! 😂

Epictetus was a slave, Cleanthes an impoverished man who carried water for extra money and wrote on bone as he couldn’t afford paper, and Zeno a shipwrecked homeless immigrant. Marcus is the least “useful” Stoic, but your station in life doesn’t determine your ability to be Good. That’s the point.

Nothing against Blake Lively but… what?

We read a lot about not fearing death in the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius -- but what's the REAL reason one would want not to fear death? youtu.be/cWKXlQcew1U

We’ve really gotta do something about this Stoic vs stoic thing.

Okay. Fair enough. Slack cut. I apologise.

This is not Stoicism. Holy shit. Red flags all over the place. #StoicismLiteracy

I confused the symptoms of noroviris for those of parenthood. Whoops.

Scary stuff, America. Scary stuff. Might be time to kick that stork’s nest after all 🔥

You’re okay, though. 🙄

My son got his passport today. What an absolute Brit 🇬🇧

Toxic nonsense. This will get its own video.

Except for the awkward fact that it doesn't use the word "Virtue" a single time in all it's pages -- Virtue, the central focus of Stoicism... it doesn't mention it once.

Next week's episode of Practical Stoicism ought to put a few people on blast.

Appropriate meme.

“I will burn down the building.”

Thank YOU, Nathan, for saying so 🙏

Stoicism doesn’t provide hope? What in the hell, Ward?
