It's only valid because 99.99% of you plebs are to dense to even grasp this.

No, stoicism is not a pleb philosophy.

The stoic sage is really something every man should try to live up to, and we should all try to practice stoicism least once in our life. Being able to acknowledge what is under your control and what is not, and being able to focus your energy on what former, is a great tool for human happiness.

Just because plebs like to read Aurelius and Epictetus, doesn't mean it's a pleb philosophy.
I prefer Senecca though.

It's basically verbose cuckoldry.

plebs wouldn't be interesting in reading books like this about philosophy. That's my opinion. But then again people have a different idea of what a pleb is. From my point of view a pleb would get his philosophy from listening to Louis CK.

You two clearly didn't understand Epictetus at all. He's a great philosopher, and this book had a huge impact on my life.

Well said, wise sage. But does your wisdom show you why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
