[trying to ascend]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

 

[PLA1092]

It's good if it's applied to the way you act in the outside world, you have to be as psychopathic and uncaring as possible to get ahead (if you have a chance to) while at the same time being subtle about it so as to not literally get crucified by cucks and foids for your behaviour.

I discovered the Stoicism recently and some of it's philosophy coincides with Blackpill

 

[SeetheBot9000]

Some of it is ok some of it is unrealistic. I read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius and it's all about controlling thoughts and the mind and not being too subject to the outside world/not worrying about what you can't control. The core message is fine, have self control, try and reign in your emotions etc. But the trouble is that is an ideal that most people cannot achieve.

Also these people who came up with this philosophy lived in a different time, a time of less distractions, no industrial revolution, no internet. Marcus was a fucking Roman Emperor. His life was easy, he was catered for. Very easy to have peace of mind when you live in the royal palace.

So yeah, take stoicism or ANY philosophy with a pinch of salt. It's best to read lots of different philosophies and just use parts that you agree with and put it into your own personal philosophy. Combine elements from different ones and you end up with a unique, tailor made one.

It works temporarily but one day all the mishaps in your life catch up to you mentally

 

[seikko]

Just like the redpill it won't work in our modern day it is outdated

 

[Youthpilled]

Good as a concept, but nearly impossible to implement irl.

 

[HeroinNihilism]

I've read Epictetus, Aurelius, and Seneca.

Seneca was probably the most based stoic but Stocism on its own is from a time period where its application could work. This is a philosophy that doesn't really work in 2023.

 

[TheGrayWolf]

Not good. Not possible.
