#neostoicism is a mutation of ancient aretaic virtues toward service of the #technocracy.
It is #managerial #ethics disguised as #virtue.
Rather than learning actual self-discipline, it is subsumption for #productivity.
Instead of accepting what can't be changed, it is excuses for collective responsibilities.
Instead of self-mastery it is optimizing performance.

The neo-stocism comes from #redpill "father figures": #JordanPeterson, #ElonMusk, #AndrewTate, #DanBilzerian, #JackDonovan, #JockoWillink, #DavidGoggins, #CurtisYarvin, and #RyanHoliday . The relationship between this, nazi neoclassicism, and modern fascism are not accidents.

A productive stoic is an ideal subject of work and rule: self-monitoring, and compliant.

This current neo-stoicism in self-help literature & online content is a serious deviation from the rich philosophical tradition it claims to inherit. While genuine Stoic philosophy, based on the teachings of ancient thinkers like Epictetus, Seneca, & Aurelius, focuses on virtues, self-control & resilience in the face of adversity, most of what's marketed today as Stoicism is more accurately described as "Broicism."
