What's so great about this? If a president wrote something like this today it would be seen as pretentious garbage. Is it just because it was written a long time ago?

Why care about this? You don't read it for entertainment or as a fashion statement.

I've even seen Meditations suggested on /biz/, the board dedicated to scam discussions and bragging about one's ruthlessness. That's pretty cringe-worthy but it's not going to make me throw Meditations into the trash. If it's any consolation, most of these people will read maybe two pages of Meditations, then read two pages of dale carnegie and then go back to shitposting to quickly forget whatever ancient lesson on self-control they briefly stumbled upon.
