i responded to a young super rich kid in college who was interested in philosophy to stick w the ancient greeks and ignore everything else. but that advice is specific to a young man who is limited in their understanding and ability.

Best I can do on the stoicism is binge listen to Alex O'Connor's philosophy podcasts He has broad interests, and I listen to most of his discussions. Stoicism and other ancient philosophies are discussed every now and then

we had only a few minutes to chat but i could tell (i hope) that he was an incredibly sweet kid, genuine and chill. i really wanted to lead him AWAY from nietzsch specifically. one of the worst who has corrupted the souls of many beautiful people, preventing a true understanding of love and what it is to be part of humanity. pope leo seems to be trying to convey the same message in his recent letter and accompanying posters.

bc of the streisand effect, the world will become much uglier and we’ll soon see nietzsche displayed at wallmart target & costco 😅😂🤣
