Stoicism lvl 1 begins as "cute tips of how to overcome depression, xoxo" but from lvl 10 or so it's basically "transcend normies and be a hard core cyber monk or get rekt".

Modern philosophers have lost the belief that anything worth doing is worth doing boldly.

The general idea that everyone is basically good, life is nothing more than a series of sensations, and that we should try to limit pain the best we can is a philosophy for weak men.

Radical conversion is the way.

If it was that easy we could just maximize pleasure and everybody woul be happy. Tbh, OG hedonists knew about all this and advocated for moderation as the core principle of hedonism but this boring little piece of critical insight has been lost on today's hedonists.
