CHAPTER

Are We the Stoics?

i think we have to add to the stoics our understanding of psychology and biology. We can become sort of so dissociated, but we have this sort of drama embedded inside us. It's coming in from reawoken memories, call em triggers, whatever you like. Those experiences then affect how i react to something that in ordinary person might find not to be much of a trigger at all. And so i feel like maybe were the stoics. I don't want to say we're insufficient, but we're just on the cusp of what we now know more.
