What do you think about Stoicisms?

[Deleted member 68927]

What do you think about Stoicisms? I found about it recently, and the idea that everything can be an opportunity for growth is neat. But is it realistic to expect that we always have control over ourselves? I find the teachings interesting. I don't know if I have what it takes to follow them, but I can try.

Anyway, any opinions on it?

Being a stoic is the path of robotism. Clearly it is the superior path as you transcend your biological limitations. I am currently in the middle peak of this dao.

May the Stoic Goddesses of Smut bless and keep you sane.

Your activity makes you sound like an Ai discussion bot, but you aren't. Ganbare.

The stoic is the one who realizes that nothing matters, and it destroys them in spirit.

Instead, realize that nothing matters, so start enjoying life for what it is in the moment.

I think you may want to study zen in parallel. (Haven't dug into either. )

I don't know if there's anything in stoicism that isn't in zen, and zen is a living tradition where you can find experienced practitioners who are good teachers. I think with Stoicism, the tradition and community are fractured and hucksters abound.

Stoicism is all about accepting things as they are and get better from it. Understanding own emotions, using logic, and have a virtue and ethics. Understanding what you can control and can not.

Stoic people can be sexy, like a lumberjack who just cuts down trees everyday, but I agree. I want the absurd and crazy. That's where the spice is.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Stoic people don't need readers.

by your definition, they are based.

stoic people are based
the real question is, what are they based on?

 

[RepresentingDesire]

Everything can be used and abused in such a way that it will grant benefits, the problem is finding the benefits, the self awareness of every situation and having the ability to not act on emotions.

Stoicism has some traits from the core ideology of mine, rationalism and that's all the positivity I have to stoicism. I might possess morality and virtue even if they are blue orange but they're for the sake of efficiency and not satisfaction. You can't be anything, you will clash with those you see as evil because they don't align with you ideology. Stoicism is for those who get joy from believing themself good, heroic, just, moral and virtues. I don't belong in these groups, I'm aware that morality and virtue don't exist but I still accept them somewhat. I can't respect them though, they might life with some awareness but it isn't virtuous enough for me. I might be accidentally somewhat close to a stoicist.

Based on True Stories.

[owotrucked]

Become stoic with one simple trick: drugs. Theres a roman emperor hailed as stoic and he took opium every night and openly got cucked by gladiator and centurions. His son prolly never respected him and turned into a gladiator emperor lol

Anyway, the mind is driven by the carrot and the stick, like a + and - battery polarity. So it makes sense to deepen your relationship with the stick and try to channel it for whatever purpose

Stoicism?
Hmm, the Greek/Roman version is fine. While the modern version is shit. Found it to be interesting how Christianity borrowed heavily from it.

I'm so stoic that you have more self-control just by me talking to you. Let me explain how being a man works. You have your three H's. Horny, Hatred, And Hungry. Personally, I find horny to just be a subset of hungry. Hatred is often a waste of time. So if you just control your appetites, you will be a better person.

Go watch Die Hard. That's Stoic. Work out a lot. Get Stronk. Go fight terrorists on Christmas eve barefoot. Run across broken glass because that rhymes with badass which is what you will be when you get your stoic on. Just remember, as a man, you are only allowed one manly tear per day. You cannot save them up. But you can cry one tear at 11:59:59 PM and a second at Midnight.

Practice chopping wood shirtless and then put one foot up on a log and drink a cup of black coffee while staring off into the middle distance while remembering past trauma. If anyone asks, you like your coffee the way you like your humor, BLACK AND BITTER. Chicks dig that shit. Also, learn to talk like your voice is an octave lower and imitate a vague Spanish accent. It helps if you learn how to waggle one eyebrow slightly while keeping your eyes half-closed all the time. Come up with some really bad pickup lines as well, but say them stoically, because if you play it straight, that'll work too.

Remember, everything a man learns is just something to help you get laid and that includes Stoic.
Be grim.
Be Gritty.
For breakfast, chew glass.
Maybe get a scar on your face that starts on your forehead, goes across your eye and down your cheek.
Grunt a lot.

Interesting, but you know the brain gets addicted to emotion. Be it positive or negative, it doesn't matter. With training you "could" work it. But you may be up against decades of ingrained nurture and societal expectations(materialism, gambling, etc), that many can't break away from. And that kind of heavily trained in brain wiring is really hard to break and often causes depression while in the process of doing it.

Bah. You aren't trying hard enough.
I take my feelings and push them down until they become a stomach ulcer, LIKE GOD INTENDED.
Feelings are for wimps and will get sand kicked in your face. I don't care where you are. I carry around sand in a jar just for kicking into someone's face. Usually, I don't bother taking it out of the jar. Or kicking it. I just break a jar of sand over your head.

Wuss.
