Okay where does one aquire The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius printed on black paper because that'd be a great coffee table book.
That should be the one. https://www.monochromebooks.com/
But Marcus Aurelius is all sold out. And it costs 80$ :(
It seems you can't be a stoic holding these sweet dirty banknotes.
Remember, the emotional trauma you feel when you spend that $80 is just weakness leaving your body.
Paying with cash is just weakness leaving my wallet
Our monthly subscription is nothing but a test of your restraint and tolerance to a sudden lose. It's for you to feel empowered, and, please, don't you feel obligated to thank me. I won't even roll down my new car's window to you. Alphas don't communicate verbally anyway, you should've got it by that time.
I feel it worth mentioning in response to all these comments that my liking to stoicism has nothing to do with either cryptobro bullshit or alpha male bullshit I think it's just a good healthy way of dealing with day to day life in a world that you have very little individual power to change.
Yep. Reading Marcus Aurelius was kinda funny for his thoughts weren't like reddit stoicism at all.
Gotta be one of those epicureans instead. You hang out on the street until someone offers you a steak dinner.
