  Stoics recognize problems in two categories, problems you can fix and problems you can’t. In neither case anxiety adds anything to the solution.

    I should stop choosing to be anxious.

      I know it sounds trite and a good candidate for thanksimcured, but essentially, yes. It is not reality that is causing your anxiety but your perception of it, and you have some degree of control over that.

      Specifically, you should stop trying to make major changes to the world and society, so as to protect the established order.

      I mean, its a perfectly good place to start and a great outlook, if you’re slave or a dirt poor peasant living during the slow collapse of the Roman empire, where your crops have failed, your children are all dying from the water you drink and you’ve just been raised by the 5th rampaging warlord this year.

      There are other schools of thought that have carried on from this which have been refined and improved on. However, there’s a certain part of the political and online sphere who only like philosophy that developed during a time when slavery was normalised, for some reason or another. Cant think why that might be…

      I mean, if I was a sociopathic wealth devouring monster, intent on subjugating everyone in the world, I’d have the population taught some type of Christian stoicism mash up.

    How I arrived upon my stance regarding elections.

    There is nothing any one person can do on an individual basis to make the candidate they want to win actually succeed, especially if the aristocratic establishment is dead set on stopping them with all their resources, power, connections, and influence.

    But what will make me feel better is if the candidate I despise the most loses. And voting for their biggest challenger out of spite, although incapable of amendong the above problem, can at least perform the singular at least satisfying consolation function of scratching an itch.

    They want us to support the lesser of two evils;

    I want us to punish the greater of two evils.

    We are not the same.

    The lesser evil must, unfortunately, wait until the greater evil is dealt with. Then we can kill it too.

    Business before pleasure.

    What about problems I can fix but only if I worry enough about them

    source

    • nehal3m@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I suppose the initial realization that you have a problem can cause you to worry, or the inverse, you may worry that something may become a problem. Once this emotion has had its effect and you have identified whether it’s a problem you can fix (and if so, you’ve made a plan to execute to the best of your ability), anxiety ceases to have any utility.

    Now explain that to my anxiety.

      I can’t. It’s up to you to explain it to your anxiety. 💪🏻

      That a philosopher from so long ago had the same thought indicates that it ain’t no passing craze.

    See if you can bother with Orbs and mathematical wizardry in your own mind.

  How can we have free will in a world that seems increasingly governed by determinism??

  I got it, “free will” is just the perception of having free will!

  I am a very smart compatiblist.

  The problem with stoicism and disassociatve solutions in general is while they prevent sadness and anxiety, they also preclude happiness and joy.

      I’m sorry, the only thing I believe you should do with a circle is square it.

  I’m a bit of an “Orber” or Aten-believer who also thinks Science is more important and that Orb concepts can mislead and worry people.
