his concept of language games is one of the most important thing you could spend your time thinking about wrt designing your life and how you will relate to everything. i constantly go back to it, it’s on the same level of importance as ‘as above, so below.’
however, wittgenstein is disappointing to me for the fact that he vehemently believed that existence precedes essence. it’s such an unhelpful, counterproductive thing to believe I can’t believe an accomplished white man like Ludwig would let himself adamantly defend it

I'm still centuries behind as I'm still reading Greeks and romans. How the hell do I reach there? Just reading their wikepedia pages made me feel more of a brainlet than I already am

Stoicism is also hyper-accessible meme pleb philosophy, which isn't even taken as a philosophy as such. What people refer to when they speak of Stoicism is an ethical stance severed from its genuine metaphysical and ontological framework, and watered down into some 21st century self-help guru's platitudal, empty ramblings, the reading of which people substitute for genuine self-betterment.
Even more repugnant is that nobody affiliated with Stoicism in a modern sense actually takes the natural ethical ideals of Stoicism as their own ideals. They instead envisage some 'practical stoicism' which can help them to achieve their own pathetic ends, at which point the doctrine doesn't even bear any remote relation to actual Stoicism any more than it does to am equal bastardization of the writings of literally any other ethical philosopher or religion ever.
And in its essence, metaphysical and ontological, Stoicism is a meme. Pure and simple.
