Goddammit… I knew nothing about him, I thought this was going to be about fatherhood and stoicism, not cultural engineering

Do I just roll my eyes at the bullshit pages or toss this in the trash?

Better to just read Marcus Aurelius directly. People can make mistakes, but AFAIK he never apologized for his vaxx hysteria and it exposed fundamentally corrupted thought that I can’t separate from the rest of his work.

I can't remember exactly what it was but I feellike I lost some respect for him before the VAX thing. Could have been trump related but yeah I definitely didn't feel like he really practices the stoicism. Though I think his writing is pretty accessible and not innacurate in terms of stoicism (AFAIK)
