True. An advanced school of thought--centuries ahead of all these other repressed, pontificating windbags.
The Skeptics were just a compromising version (they didn't go all-out in rejecting materialism) of the deconstructionist Cynics. At least that's what I got out of Russell's summary.
Yes, but I loved the method of "push your eyes from the side. That proves you cannot trust what you see." That has stuck with me all these years. Also, St. Paul was a Stoic I believe.
