I feel like stoicism cannot be a female thing, correct? Especially what Marcus Aurelius wrote in his Meditations. I might be wrong though,
>>545391962Only autistics can truly embrace Stoicism
>>545391962sometimes, women are very adaptable, you should see them in bad situations they turn into loveable saint until they get back on the horse
>>545392098Why? I do not see the correlation.
>>545391962who gives a fuck if it can't be a female thing
>>545392366Normals don't think their way through life experiences, they feel their way through them. They'll never really appreciate Stoicism as a result.
>>545391962It could be for both, but Women rarely get past the consumerist, want based mind frame.
>>545392213I think Mark Aurel was not saying you gotta be a loveable saint, but virtuous and take the world as it is without anger.
>there is but one thing of true value>[lists two things]
>>545392449That may very well be true. I still don’t see the correlation between autism (which is a rare diseases, apprx. 1 in 100) and a mainstream philosophy that started with Socrates.
>>545391962I meditate once or twice a day.
>>545392544anger is primitive
>>545392695>MainstreamIts really not, it only got popular within the last i would say 6 or so years. And even then 90% of the time people get it wrong.The problem is you have reddit tier arm chair philosophers who dont actually read the text or understand it, and then you get the results of what modern Nihilism is. Either way as the other anon mentioned, really only autists or people who are very devoide/detatched from their emotions or have the ability to separate emotions from things, are able to really apricate stoicism.
>>545392833nihilism is just a coping mechanism it’s not worth cultivating
>>545392668Well the original is: Ἓν ὧδε πολλοῦ ἄξιον, τὸ μετ᾿ ἀληθείας καὶ δικαιοσύνης εὐμενῆ τοῖς ψεύσταις καὶ ἀδίκοις διαβιοῦνSo it’s only one thing in the original.
>>545392833Well I read it in school 25yrs ago, not sure about the 6 or so years.
>>545392920Thats the armchair take and thats the problem, it does not actually address the point of Nihilism. >Reddit armchair philosopher takeOh no, nothing matters in the world its all point less>Actual point of NihilismNothing matters in this world, so create a reason for something to matter, embrace Ego death, and make the world matter to you.
>>545393007You can read??
>>545391962Every philosophy of suffering/effort/restriction is for men because women don't have to put in any effort to improve or create something to fullfil their biological purpose (procreate)
>>545391962Marcus Aurelius' philosophy is only for men whose wives fuck other men
>>545391962NoStoicism is badYou need total war and total death upon your enemies Kill them as many as possible without mercy Fire, blood and steel The only things that matter
>>545391962Stoicism is for fags
>>545391962The female equivalent would be "There is but one thing of real value - to cultivate children and beauty, and to live without resentment in the midst of petty and conniving women."
>>545393346You are right, except that stoicism is not bad. It is the coping mechanism for the mind and soul until the time you acquire sufficient power to eliminate your enemies.
