Platonism is the """idea""" that there is no such thing as physical reality, it's all just, like, an opinion, man. It's VERY popular among modern philosophers because it suggests that philosophy is important.

Epicureanists were the original degenerates. Living for nothing but carnal pleasure, no loyalty to anything but their egos.

Stoicism sounds good at first until you realize that it basically advocates turning a blind eye to someone raping and killing your mother because "meh, nothing I can do about it now."

Epicureanism is belief in nothing, Stoicism is belief that there's nothing you can do.

No it fucking doesn't you retarded coon. It does mean you shouldn't let such a horrific thing completely dominate your mind and ruin your life, but it certainly doesn't say you can't or shouldn't take revenge on your enemies.

What? It's about avoiding pain, not endless carnal pleasure. Epicurus was more into simple pleasures and mutually beneficial friendships than orgies.

You're thinking of Hedonism

Platonism advocates that the existential world is less independently existing, and more the projection of a higher realm of form

Quantum mechanics has proven Plato right, as it has proven the physical presence of Christ in the Eucharist
