Really?


"I think I'm a really good Stoic, and I've been doing it for a few months now. Would it be okay if I started a porn web site? It would make me good money. Stoics are liberal and progressive, right?"

"I am living a Stoic life, but I don't understand why virtue is so important. What does that even mean? Is that even a word that matters? It''s so vague, and so unscientific."

"I'm confused. I've been a Stoic for a year now. How will Stoicism help me get pleasure?"

"I've realized the biggest flaw in Stoicism, because I want to be happy, and Stoics wont let me be happy. I want to have fun. . . . . Stoicism won't get me laid."

"My girlfriend sleeps with other men, but I put up with it. Is that Stoic?"

"I love this Stoic stuff. It helps me make more profit in my business. You guys rock!"

"Where do I go to be a better Stoic? How much will it cost to do it, like books and courses and subscriptions?"
