Team Marcus all the way 🙌 For me, virtue includes caring for other people and participating in community.

I'm for Marcus. He had a fine seat on a horse. You can't ride well unless you are aware of the horse and its responses and fears. It's a transaction which requires respect for the other being.

Stoicism and it’s ideas actually assisted Vice Admiral Stockdale while he was a POW. Later, he taught a class on it.

Philosophy as "love of knowledge" is different and cannot be lumped together with such practical intentional measure as portrayed in "what is to be done". Therefore, cynicism so as stoicism both fail as a traditional philosophy of "what is the case".
