Nietzsche described them perfectly. What’s amazing about it is that it also describes the attitude Marxists have towards history.

You got filtered by Nietzsche's demiurgic luciferianism.

Stoicism is the most Reddit school of thought there is.

>> No.18417516

nietzsche was too impassioned to accept something as passive and anodyne as stoicism, but eternal recurrence/amor fati is really just a more manic version of stoicism so he never really rejected its most fundamental principles.

>>18417478
what are you talking about the knee jerk response to stoicism on /lit/ is that it's is peak reddit and normie-tier

In accordance with Nietzsche's theory of positive language, they mean exactly what I think they mean.

I'm super stoic though. Nothing has changed, except my mindset towards life. I will still die the same uneventful death, but at least I will be stoic when I it happens.

Cringe. Nothing more reddit than Nietzsche. Stoicism is the anti-reddit.

Stoic ethics is just common sense. Don't let things outside your control affect you too much, stop worrying about dumb shit and act with virtue. Their physics and theology are kinda dumb though.

He's right in that passage, about the Stoics, but especially about philosophy. The philosopher is a tyrant who creates the world in his own image and has no choice but to become this in the end. The Stoics were no different — they projected their own feelings into the character of nature while insinuating that they weren't doing this, an indication of what the Stoic character was like (at bottom, self-tyrannizing as Nietzsche said).

This is true. Look at Diogenes, who Epictetus holds up as the man who personified the telos of the stoic ideal. A philosophy that supposedly preaches limits instead promotes a sanctimonious disregard for all customs and conventions. To truly practice stoicism is to disregard all limits and subordinate the world to yourself. Control over rational judgment becomes of necessity control over the world and nature. The stoic mistake is to conflate virtue with control. It might feel cathartic to us to imagine ourselves a Diogenes, telling emperors to stand out of our sun and pranking philosophers, but nobody wants to live in a world with people shitting on the street and living in barrels.

How about we pursue our interests with confidence without worrying about how others may label us?
