Stoicism > Buddhism. Stoicism is empirical and applicable,

Money affords me my anime figurines so I must work for the jew man for several unhappy hours so that I can have a few happy ones.

Stoicism can get dangerous though, if you get carried away. Emotion doesnt make a good master, but it isn't untrustworthy, wrong, or evil. Make sure to remember that when reading the stoics.

Buddism is basically getting in touch with reality by shutting up your internal dialogue. Doesn't really need to be spiritual, all that shit about reincarnation is symbolic about states of awareness anyway, only a pleb would take it literally

You don't understand stoicism. Stoicism doesn't preach not feeling emotions, it just says to try and have good ones and to not let them control you.

t. Buddhism as practiced by white people

It's mystical as shit and people who think otherwise got the cliffnotes version of a complex and ancient Asian religion.

>"If you get carried away"
I'm not saying stoicism is not feeling or avoiding emotion. I'm saying that theres a temptation to think that way when reading the stoics. That was the warning I was making. That's why I specifically said "if you get carried away".

>shutting up your internal dialogue

You're fucking retarded and every second you've spent meditating was wasted.
