Rethinking Fear
Every time I read these stoic comments on fear, or suffering or what have you I have to think of this comic, summing up Nietzsche&#x27;s take on the topic <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;existentialcomics.com&#x2F;comic&#x2F;69" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;existentialcomics.com&#x2F;comic&#x2F;69</a><p>There is such a life denying smugness in addressing fear as the article does, for example saying. &quot;Our imaginary fears harm us more than reality ever does.&quot;. I think that depends pretty heavily on your reality. Detachment from reality or fear is a pseudo-cure that just attempts to skip over true existential problems.<p>Over the last decade or so stoicism keeps popping up in &#x27;business leader&#x27; and tech circles and blogs like this trying to sell people &#x27;timeless wisdoms&#x27; which I think is very on-brand. It&#x27;s always been less of a philosophy and more of a ruling class handbook on how to conduct oneself.
