Climate activists BTFO by stoicism
(pomf2.lain.la)https://pomf2.lain.la/f/1212lse.PNG3 reasons not to be a Stoic For an ancient philosophy, Stoicism is doing extremely well in 2023.
Holiday, Pigliucci and Delaney agree: one of the most important and useful aspects of Stoicism is what is called the “dichotomy of control”. This involves understanding that there are things you can control and things you can’t.
This leads us to the passivity problem. If we focus only on our character, reactions, and actions, as Stoicism proposes, and put no effort into things that lie beyond our direct control, it seems to me that a practising Stoic will remain passive in the face of major problems like climate change or social inequality
