I used to love Stoic thinking and read the usual primary sources a few years ago. I still do love it and practise it.

However, I became more and more turned off by the modern company of success porn bros who use it as a kind of macho way to justify not caring about others. This is not the truth of it, as Stoic ethics is about concentric circles of concern emanating outward (family, friends, community, country). I wish there was more focus on that.
