The modern/online resurgence of stoicism isn’t driven by people that have studied actual books.

It’s being driven by people that are making tiktoks after they learned about it by watching a five minute YouTube video. It’s a very lossy game of telephone.

Well that's pretty depressing, I had no idea.
Only because Freud and Jung fell out of fashion, these TikToks are the pop-psychology books of yesteryear.
