Is there an argument against stoicism?
The stoic shares the same grave as the degenerate.
no
Commodus by himself refuted it by being the son of Marcus Aurelius, a committed stoic, and being a total fuckup. If stoicism was so great, then Aurelius would have been a better father who raised his son to not be such a failure.
Doesn't allow you to select a proper successor
This. True masters dont die
Humanity would die out if everyone were a stoic, so, no.
how the fuck are you concluding this, there could be many reasons for the son growing to be certain way despite the father's influence
They all converted to Christianity because they saw it as a more complete picture of stoicism.
a mans future is not the keeping of his father
If failed to raise your son right, you failed at life.
slave morality
and btw he didn't even try to raise Commodus right, while Aurelius was looking after his garden Commodus was given over to be raised by servants.
Marcus Aurelius shits on your schizophrenic cokehead retard and it's not even close. His only good take is "God is dead" which is literally just an observation that any retard could have made about the decline of religious zeal in western society.
It's just a self righteous larp. Nothing is stoic about culture.
Stoicism is just Buddhism for narcissists
>He modified the silver purity of the Roman currency, the denarius.
You think emperors can't be slaves to more powerful interests?
a stoic is born and not made
Stoicism simply isn't a philosophy that most of humanity would find relevant or helpful.
Might lead to numbness and apathy
Why not? It's the philosophy of chilling the fuck out and realizing that as long as you're still breathing, everything is going to be fine.
Not getting involved or not caring usually lines you up against both walls.
You just describe Epicureanism, the arch-nemesis of Stoicism kek
Yes.
Life becomes pointless.
Involunatriarly taking from the hands of one to support another is slavery.
