Hypothesis Stoicism shall be revered

[Deleted Member 84568]

As it is the only way for human to rise above his inferior animalistic emotions, vices, greed, fear and envy. Marcus Aurelius will be avenged and reason will once again be a driving factor in the pursuit of glory, not blind faith and hormone induced neuroticism

Stoicism is for losers.

Controlled hedonism is best.

hedonism in and of itself is frankly rather pointless as it is merely a vapid pursuit of dopamine inducing activities with no real tangible prospects nor gains, oftentimes accompanied by great risks and jeopardizing your interests and safety for a fleeting moment of subjective pleasure

Stoicism doesn't have any gains either. It's just ignoring problems.

Machiavellianism is useful, although controlled hedonism is still a better and happier life.

Would you rather live in Russia, New York, or SoCal?

Russia is a shithole.

How does New York not have public transport?

And SoCal is for cars, very spread out.

yeah, but i dont like americans.

And why is that?

Is it because we're more cool and attractive?

Come on, I want you to say it.

 

[2R0I2P0]

and self entitled.

your life is a million times more easy that us that live in third world shit country or whatever you like to call us
but americans still find a way to complain.

to summarize; theres a saying in my country
"every american feels like a millionare that is just having a hard time"
