Here he goes again bringing up his political opinion again 🙄

 

Not opinion, facts. I didn't say anything about Stoicism that isn't 100% fact.

 

I know we live in an age where rumours and opinions seem to be more important than truth and reality but don't ever make that mistake around me.

'A lot of very right-wing groups pretend to follow it, even though their xenophobic politics are contrary to Stoicism.'

 

That is bringing up politics which is exactly what I said.

After reading Meditations over the course of my holiday I've decided to dig a little deeper into Stoicism and came across this video which is pretty good.

 

Note: It does a good job of outlining the skew version you get in popular culture pretty well @phil bottle.

 

I also enjoyed the comments about the similarities between Stoicism and Buddhism ethics.
