this guy has jokes

In all honesty, stoicism sounds really lame.

everybody is lying to you believe nobody. not even the news. nobody is trustworthy. also like im always saying (and Nietzsche says ) truth is relative. Science is not real.

this poses the idea that people nowadays can’t deal with shit because there was little to no struggle in their upbringing and that they never learned to deal with it and so when they encounter it for the first time it’s traumatic and they can’t bounce back which is interesting and all of this is to say “you too can become a stoic it will just take some time since your generation is a bunch of pissbabies”

when you tell people “don’t worry just do whatever you want” i feel like you’re purposefully fucking over your competition who may have done great things if they were productive but now decided “ok great i don’t have to worry about it let me go play video games and jerk off” . if i didn’t care about being productive that’s what i would be doing right now instead of reading this book

This is a great book

He makes good points however he’s very confusing
