Stoicism

My Youtube algorithm has been jam packed with Stoicism videos recently and prior I really had never heard of the concept. Personal I subscribe to a similar ethos of Dudeism. The "Fuck it dude. Let's Bowl." mantra seems to pull from the tenets of stoicism.

I had to look it up. I mean I had a general idea, but...

sto·i·cism
/ˈstōəˌsizəm/
noun
1. the endurance of pain or hardship without the display of feelings and without complaint.

2. an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge; the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason (also identified with Fate and Providence) that governs nature, and are indifferent to the vicissitudes of fortune and to pleasure and pain.

So does “Fuck it dude. Let’s Ski."
or
if yer in Montana, "Fuck it dude. Let’s Snowbowl."
 
Guys / Gals - Stoicism is pretty popular right now; Would this be something of interest to post on the forum about?

Second, try to live your life in accord with four virtues: practical wisdom, courage (resiliency in the face of fear); temperance (moderation in eating, drinking, exercise); justice (fairness).
you lost me at drinking. i am a big proponent of common sense.
 
We might be able to file this one under Label Culture? The tenets of “Stoicism” are a way many people have lived their lives for a long time….at least now we have a label for it. Yay!
