Much like when Jesus told everybody not to care about material possessions and now every Christian buys useless crap to celebrate his birthday; the Stoics were very clearly against vanity, ego, being a loudmouth, etc and all the selfish jerks and fuckups are now “stoics”.
What is wrong with us?

Relatedly, I’ve hated all them influencers ever since they sprung into existence in the late 2000s. Yet I kinda feel for them.
Imagine spending hours “crafting” a tweet, a TikTok, a selfie or whatever only for it to be seen mostly for a second, mostly by people sitting on their (office) toilets.

… A bit before the event started I hear how 1 of the participants is actual chili eating CHAMPION and most others are regular competitors.
Of course my kids were there and I couldn’t give up. So I ended up eating 3 chunks of chocolate with Carolina Reaper and then a whole 500,000 SCOVILLES pepper.
