The other day I received a link to this blog post: [hypatiaofalexandria.blog]
and was confused by it, to put it mildly. I've read a bit about Stoicism, and I find the post disturbing. I'm not a philosopher, but I do know that people who live according to the Stoic values can and are Atheists and those suffering from Agoraphobia (for the therapeutic value of some Stoic exercises_.
What do you think?

Oh, and there's another post against Sam Harris: [hypatiaofalexandria.blog] (In"Philosophy Comedy.) Even if it was written with a grain of salt, I find quite a few mistakes in the author's representation of Sam Harris. I'm not one to put anybody on the pedestal, only people I have personal interactions with. I find the piece derogatory, not funny.

Anybody care to weigh in?
