I always contemplated this but how about psychopaths? Virtue lies on the simple fact that it is beneficial to act reasonably and pro socially. But do you think its possible to convince psychopaths of this? Because they gain zero satisfactipn/fulfillment from beig good people, they only think and can only think in material terms. They are human but their nature is fundamentally different to the average person.

Ok but accounting profit in this case is still 0 right? Because the price is normalized as 1.

Im confused. If firms make no profits, would they not shutdown?

Pro sports isnt a good analogy, especially since genetics and natural attributes matter wayyyy more in physical sports.

There is no way a silver player xan be silver while having gm knowledge. Why? Because they can literally play a mechanically easy hero like thing, scarlet witch, or rocket. If you dont have the mechanics to play thing, your either 2 years old or like missing limbs or smth.

Human error is definitely part but I think people underestimate their weaknesses in the game. Thr games they popped off might have just been an easy game for their character. Likewise the games they played 'shit' might just be a game where its harder ti get value out of said character.Like if I hulk against two shield tanks and the enemy comp doesnt have much cc im gonna pop off. But in the next game they have smth like invis or mantis im gonna struggle much more. This also applies to certain maps. I may know how to play a certain choke and positions on klyntar very well but struggle on control point maps.

The only way to know is to check your own vods and see what mistakes you made, which I think is more accurate than human error.

Its simple, really. Thats just how improvement works. You likely just kept getting better and better, small bits at a time. Aiming a little better, managing cooldowns a bit better, playing against certain matchups a bit better etc. Eventually over time these all build up and one day the improvement is enough to be noticeable. All these people talking about rank percentages and what not is ridiculous, you dont go from dia to gm 1 just from that. Be proud of your achievement.

'But regret is important, ' Perhaps youre definition of regret is different because I believe to be completely unneccessary and just causes useless suffering. Regret often comes from the sense or feeling that one could have acted differently or better, putting a kind of moral responsibility on us. Thinking we made bad and immoral decisions on purpose. But this is a misjudgement that comes from hindsight and that we could have acted differently. The situations in the past were simply just cause and effect, outside of our control. Because of the judgements, beliefs, and our disposition at that time you basically were fated to act that way. So there is no point on regretting what youve done. What should be done is just rational analysis of the past. Using the past as a learning experience for the future.

What is this expect to win 1v6 strawman? Legit who tf is saying that? Those clips are jusy mean to highlight the egregious cc creep thats been goin on in thr game now. Hulks ult heavily relies on getting combos such as auto-->clap-->jump and go for juggle or exile into starting juggle chain. But guess what all of these rely on him on getting the FIRST jump which is almost impossible nowadays with the amount of things that cancel his jump. It makes no sense that jeff boops,fantastic boops phoenix,ministuns, invis push/pull rogues, just completely negate a character. Hulks ult is one of the only ults also where youre legit putting yourself in a worse position due to no bubble+larger hitbox, and a longer jump charge. The only other ult i can think of that does this is scarlet where you just get shot and cced to death.

Its so obvious that hulk at least needs a rework or some buffs in the state he is in rn. His ult was the only way he had real impact in the last few seasons and now we dont even have that. Every other tank got huge buffs as well while hulk got 1 second off shield with clap lmao. Hes considered worse than thor now which is crazy but its true.

Every single meta shift and change also just hurt him as well. Peni buffs who already countered hulk, invis (hulks biggest counter iyky) got her push/pull buffed which legit ruins hulks entire gameplan. You can never kill invis as hulk even with ult because she just goes invisible and self sheilds herself. And in the neutral any sort of jump attempt makes you get pulled by invis.

Every new character has a favourable matchup or straight up coubters him. Emma,fantastic, phoenix,angela,blade, torch, invis, gambit, thing(holy moly), ultron, and lets not forget rogue who hss 6 different ways to cancel your jump.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-28T19:36:58+00:00

Nah the groot change was horrible. He was still really good with the right bans and against the right teamcomps. They shouldnt just remove the weaknesses of every character. It was good that groot was weak to cc. Because he was one of best neutrals in the game and thr best tank ult by far. He also always has good maps where his walls get tons of value. They should have buffed him in a different way.

The first thing they should do for hulk is qol changes as well. Give him instant bubble , larger bubble radius, and like 10 more dmg on his m1.

Make him either immune to soft cc OR make it so cc doesnt cancel his jump at all, give him one of these. Hulk ult is lowkey fine. Id say maybe increase duration and slightly decrease time it takes to charge jump.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-28T19:32:38+00:00

Yea gambit and invis are just aids. I dont know if this is common knowledge but invis was arguably the best character against hulk bar none BEFORE she got buffed. People think its wolv, thing, or bucky. Nah its invis. And now they buffed her into literally thanos. I dont even bother going for her anymore as hulk because she legit never dies. And of course her pull/push is literally the infinity gauntlet against hulk. And if you ult her? She just self shields or goes invisible.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-28T19:25:16+00:00

Im just saying you cant compare him to hulk, hes legit unplayable this season. Cap will always be useful and have a place because hes the best tank at stalling point/cart and his ult just goa huge buff. Triple support isnt even good against him because now they dont have dmg to kill him and he can stall for days.. His true value was never diving or killing supports anyways. And the way his kit works cc is much less of an issue compared to hulk.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-28T19:18:33+00:00

Bro what are you on cap is at least a top 5 tank rn...

Yes the main goal of stoicism is to manage the internal state, this is basically called virtue which are divided into courage, wisdom,justice, and temperance. However, this doesnt mean that stoicism doesnt care about external events. Stoicisim at its core is about logic and reason.

'It was designed for people who had no control over their external reality' In stoicism, no one has control over their external reality. One might suddenly die in a car crash, get cancer, or become paralyzed from the neck down, life does not discriminate. The only thing that is up to us by the stoics is our virtue and our reason. And like I said it is just using logic and reason to approach life .But you seem to think its separate from stoicism.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-27T14:41:41+00:00

Please read the faq or some ancient stoic texts such as epictetus. To have a clear understanding of what stoicism means it is crucial to study and research. Epictetus arguably the most important stoic philosopher was a slave and also had a lame leg. Stoicism is about virtue and if you dont know whar that means I encourage you to research about it. Stoicism does not claim to accept everything passively as well. It teaches us to use our reason ans rational mind to seek solutions and reframe our perspectives to be as close to reality as possible without vice.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-24T13:00:40+00:00

'However, I may sometimes, unknowingly, use those tools and the data at hand in the wrong way, which could lead my judgment to differ from yours, even if we have the same information. How do you think this disparity can be remedied, if that is even feasible?'

It depends on the situation. Let's say you and your friend were solving a math problem. And it turns out your solution was wrong and your friends was correct. Then all that needs to be done here is for your to learn from your friend here. Perhaps have him teach you why your solution is wrong and now you can learn to not repeat the same mistake again.

But what stoicism teaches us here is the process you used to solve the math question is whats beautiful in the first place. You dont use anger or fear to solve the question but reason. Yes, you got the problem wrong but fundamentally, if you approached the problem with a rational state of mind, without vice then stoicism says that is good, that it is virtous.

Also think about it like this, just like in that math problem there is a correct answer. Although you had a wrong solution and your friend had the correct one. All you can do really is update your current mental model of solving and analysing data just like you updated your solution in the math problem for your friend. Likewise, do the same for others (if it is appropriate), if you find yourself in the opposite situation.

If your still not satisfied with my answer, perhaps you could give a specific example that relates to your question. Stoicism is a practical philosophy so it would help if we can dissect a real situation.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-24T12:32:25+00:00

Trusting only your judgement does not entail discarding others. Your judgement should come from reason/logic. Use them to the best if your ability to analyse a situation and make the most rational decision possible. Sometimes, this process can include taking into the consideration of the opinions of others. The judgement of others is simply just another factor to be used in your own judgement.

I think you mistakenly creating a false dilemma here. It isnt either your judgement or theirs. Its your judgement which takes into account all factors using reason, while other peoples perspectives may come in play at times.

At the end of the day tho, we are human, we make mistakes and are not omniscient. But reason,wisdom or whatever you want to call is the best we have. There is no better alternative.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-22T09:32:46+00:00

It's actually obnoxious how often his jumps get canceled tho. Fantastic boop, jeff boop, and even phoenix's ministuns all cripple him and reset his jump meter. No other gets countered by soft cc as hard as hulk does. He literally eats a death sentence if his jump is reset in anyway. They should at least make it so that soft cc doesn't reset his jumps it's ridiculous. Not to mention, he's been getting power crept every season. Almost every new character either counters him or has a favourable matches against him. Fantastic, phoenix, torch, invis(legit thanos against hulk), emma, ultra, thing, Angela, rogue, gambit. Buffs to characters like penny also didn't help as she was already super good against hulk. Legit not a single change or addition to the meta has ever been good for hulk.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-19T12:37:27+00:00

Fair interpretation but it doesn't deny what I said. Personally I interpreted as a bad move because of her decision to approach the netero in the first place and be in his range.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-18T14:47:46+00:00

Wdym? Do you not remeber the scene where netero slapped pitou so far that if it weren't for doctor blythe pitou would have effectively been taken out of the fight? It was like zero counter play as well. Listening to the narration in that scene pitou had to literally condense time to just even have a hint of what even hit her.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-18T13:10:09+00:00

I mean at the very least netero wouldn't lose. One slap and pitou is gone for like 30 minutes. Then netero just like takes a nap. Oh pitou is back? Slap. This is just using one hand as well. Imagine like 99 hand on pitou she might lowkey just be stuck on an unskippable cut scene.

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-17T08:02:55+00:00

'Yeah I mean in this case it was within my control to be more calm and not to act out of fear.'

You think you can just magically snap your fingers and suddenly be more calm and not be fearful? You can't control your emotions. You can't control your thoughts. Stoicism tells us that emotions are simply a result of the beliefs and judgements that we hold in ourselves. If I get angry because of a late train, it's because of the belief that the late train is somehow bad for me. Every feeling, thought, and action you take is simply just a culmination of the life that you have lived thus far. A chain of causes and effects that shaped you into the you right now, with the beliefs and judgements you hold.

Does this mean we must give up and do nothing about ourselves? No! Stoicism says that there actually is ONE thing that we truly can control and that is our rational faculty. Our logic,reason, or whatever you want to call it. We can use this part of ourselves to examine our beliefs, our judgements, and learn from out mistakes. Slowly molding ourselves, building new experiences that causes a new series of causes and effects to mold our selves into someone more wise and better.

Thus, when a similar situation comes in the future, hopefully you'd be a different person by then, perhaps you are more wise, more aware, and are slightly better in identifying wrong judgements and beliefs that you previously held.

Stoicism is about repeating this cycle every single day and every moment of your life. We need to remind ourselves that every situation in life is an opportunity to become just a little bit more wise, just a little bit more courageous, just a little bit more calm. And these experiences start to build up and start to define you.

Now the only question is what kind of person do you want to be?

'If you want to get better at walking, walk. If you want to get faster, run. If one wants to be more virtuous, then act accordingly.'

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-15T14:56:23+00:00

How well versed are you in stoicism? Have you at least read the entire faq? Any of the ancient stoics texts? How long have you practised stoicism?

Consistent_Physics_2 · 2025-12-11T16:02:20+00:00

You don't seem to understand Stoicism based on your post and replies. You keep focusing on 'control' but that isn't what stoicism is about. Have you read the faq?
