He made a book review video on Epictetus

What do you think?

His next review will be on schopie's Wisdom of life - how is he going to dodge the laser beam of "on women"?

You don't know anything about stoicism.

>> No.17650866

>>17650794
Or you know when for example your house gets flooded instead of accepting it and not let it bother you. Get as angry as possible and use that passion to build a dyke and tell the sea to go fuck itself. Most great people and great inventions in history are driven by and endless passion which included anger and sadness and the desire to control everything about nature.

you don't have to get angry to build a dyke lol. you just think, "what is in my control that I can do to prevent this happening again?" and the answer would be to calmly build a dyke. Anger is not the only motivating factor in the world, contrary to what your 4chan-addled brain thinks

No but such emotions as anger and sadness and greed are the primary motivations. Old peasants didn't sit down and think about the best way of protecting themselfs withoud letting emotions get in the way they saw what was wrong rememberd what they felt when they got flooded and fixed it. Stoicism is just for people who are to childish to regulate their emotions and people who want to act special

Just gonna double-post from the other thread:

So, beside the meme part, I want to read "epictetus discourses and selected writings" as kind of a preparation for my latin courses next semester but I'd like for it to be one of those bilingual books where you have the original on one side and the translated version on the other side. I know these types of books are available if you want to read the bible but are there any types of it for latin?

No most funtioning adults are capable of it. Why do you think man children like pewdiepie need these books to act normal. Anyone who is not autistic can keep his emotions in check and still use their passion to achive things. You don't need te be told by a book not be muh slave to emotions.
