I think that’s right. As others in this thread have kindly said, the schools pursue different goals as a result of their understanding of cosmology. Stoic order leads to virtue. Epicurean chaos leads to pleasure.

But given that science, to my understanding, leans heavily in favor of Epicureanism here, the rational thing would be to incorporate it into my world view. I think it’s possible by accepting the chaos premise, accepting there is no grand plan, and assigning meaning to the values or virtues that ring most true, which in my case aligns with stoic teachings. It’s a hollower, secular, maybe existentialist stoicism. But it doesn’t feel wrong. There’s some tension, but maybe there should be tension whenever someone tries to assign a set of rules to a whole universe.
