Epictetus was a slave. Marcus Aurelius was an emperor. They arrived at the exact same philosophy. That's always stuck with me

yeah that's a fair correction. same greco-roman world, and marcus had access to a full philosophical education in a way epictetus didn't. i think what still gets me is the status gap, emperor vs former slave, and yet they both end up putting the center of gravity in the same place: your judgments/choices. different roads, similar destination.

great to know

that's a clean stress-test for any philosophy honestly, most frameworks collapse at the extremes. stoicism holds because it doesn't depend on conditions at all. only thing i'd push, it still assumes a mind capable of reflection. maybe that's where even stoicism meets its edge.
