@realcaseyrollins there is an actual greek philosopher who taught the school of stoic philosophy and marcus aurelius was a student. so that guy and meditations are largely considered to be stoicism. also notable is that in the age of sophistry, stoicism was also free to attend.

i think its more accurate to the partial texts i’ve heard to say its more about internal willpower and obtaining the right to command over yourself. outwardly this appears like an unfeeling robot because when you become your own controller instead of an animal your reactions are included in that.
