    Or like, you could just have kids. Don’t Darwin yourself over the stupidity of others

        You don’t understand with how little kids can get by. Yep, it’s not ideal, but it’s mostly a mindset issue, of course you want the best of the best for your children, and not some suboptimal situation. It’s also fine to let your parents survive on their own, you never have an obligation to take care of them.

        All he (and I) is saying that everything is a choice. You don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to get new clothes for your children, toys, etc etc. You don’t have to make sure your parents live comfortably.

        Yes, it’s not easy to think another way, but it’s possible.

          That IS NOT HOW STOICISM WORKS.

          Stoicism is a philosophy of empathy and helping others, NOT the rejection of it.
