it's basically a diary, some gibberish and some quotes he heard and applied to his life

if you didn't have a role model growing up or don't have any moral compas, this is a good book to get you started on how to be a normal human

It's a good book. It's not Marcus' fault that midwits love abusing it.

Being racist is the norm, just not among Western urbanites.

Maybe you should give it a read and attempt to give a valid refutal?

people literally talk about it every day here too retard. Stoicism is a fundamental western philosophy, it's not going to go away.

>> No.19153969

>>19153584
you have to go back

if redditors actually gave a shit about stoicism it would be a much less degenerate shithole

If you want to learn about Stoicism, read Epictetus or Seneca. If you want to read the writings of a Roman Emperor (a fine end, in and of itself), read Aurelius.
He only became a meme after the endless sea of self help grifters (mis)appropriated his writings.
