As someone who has covered and studied Stoicism for years now, I’ve noticed something strange happening. This ancient philosophy that was once a guide to living a good and fulfilled life has been co-opted by the manosphere and turned into snakeoil, sold as the magic pill to fame, fortune, and everything in between. My question is why stoicism? Out of all the other philosophies out there, why this one? In fact, why philosophy at all?

Aperture explores the ideas shaping how we think — philosophy, psychology,
and the hidden forces behind human behavior. New perspectives, every week.
