I wonder what he meant by 'taking the short route home'? Could this indicate suicidal thoughts?
This is the kind of thing that I find deeply concerning:

I can't quite put my finger on it. But it feels like a co-option, a pied piper thing, like the "free" cheese in a trap. Not that there's anything wrong with what he says, per se, it's the environment around it. The stage. The show. The rah-rah rhetoric on the surface and the string-pullers behind the curtain. The appeal to emotion and a martyr complex. The almost pearl-clutching way they speak about what ails us as a "nation" (whatever that means) and the framing of the only acceptable prognosis (true enough in itself, but) that can also get co-opted into something vicious. The litmus tests of acceptable opinion. The marshaling of a wholesome but perhaps naive patriotism into Their Sacred Cause. The parasitic ideas that get latched on to otherwise healthy (even godly) ideas. I don't know. Something.
I don't quite know how to say it, but it just seems really off, really dangerous.
Keep your guard up, brothers and sisters. Things are getting weirder by the hour.

um, that can't be good...
...and that includes the metaphysical and epistemological claims of Stoicism, as much as we may appreciate the ethical standards that it promotes. It has no ultimate answer for 'why?'
Stoicism is a dead, dry, branch that can't get off the ground, Deism makes a weak white-man's jump at the heavens but falls immediately back to ground.
Christian theism, on the other hand, that _sui generis_ worldview, is a living branch from the living root and water of life: the immaterial yet eminently personal, that 'concrete uninersal', that trascendant **and** immanent, the infinite, eternal, and unchangable (i.e., impassible) Creator of all. And that, especially, in the Word incarnate, the man Jesus Christ.

Exhibit 1: [John 1](https://esv.org/john+1) is a hammer to Greek philosophy
This is somewhat random, but had to share.
This post intrigued me, and led me on a rabbit trail of inquiry of the massive chasm which separates Stoic thought from Christian thought (particularly on the topic of metaphysics), despite their not insignificant overlap in ethics. (I appreciate very much many of their quotes like the one above.)
A web search led me to an article, "[John 1 and Greek Philosophy](http://theburkean.blogspot.com/2013/01/john-1-and-greek-philsophy.html) " which was answering all the questions, ticking all the boxes.
"My goodness, who wrote this? Why haven't I heard of this site before?"
I scroll down, only to find that it was written by none other than my favorite College professor (and advisor), Dr. Michael Bauman.
Like I said, pretty random, but 🤯.
That said, it's a helpful article. 🤙
How is that different than a sat on lightning--before 'settling up' with an on-chain transaction? Honest Q.
