Stoicism has pulled off the comeback of the ages, appearing everywhere from Silicon Valley boardrooms to self-help bestsellers. Modern interpretations are cherry-picking Stoic practices, presenting them as tools for productivity, emotional control, and personal achievement - a kind of ancient life hack for the ambitious modern man.

We live in an era of instant gratification. We’re sold easy answers and five-step solutions to life’s problems. The idea of “hustle” is glorified, but when it comes down to the real work—the gritty, painful, often lonely path to growth—so many people check out. And the
How to Destroy a Generation? Make Them Think the World Runs on Their Feelings—and Then Use Those Feelings Against Them If you wanted to dismantle an entire generation from the inside out, it wouldn’t take much. Forget bombs or economic sabotage—too messy, too obvious. No, if you
I have a rule: I don’t start anything I’m not willing to commit five years of my life to. No projects I’m going to get bored with after six months, no half-hearted schemes for a quick cash grab. If I can’t see myself grinding away at
