I like Kant
Fair.
Technically we cannot change anything as there is no free will and the universe is a block with zero variation or iterations.
But as far as our experience goes, there are things we feel we have agency over Vs things we don't feel we have agency over and I think it's relevant there. What we have agency over is really a socially conveyed dimension and that is what gives us the most peace, so I would modify it by focus on what people tend to think you have control over and accept what people think you do not have control over.
Reckon we just updated stoicism.
Re what is better, it's similar. But I'd say more mediated by evolutionary fitness than the social dimension, although that obviously springs from the former.
You mean cvnt?I like Kant
I've been known as a philosophical genius with an astute outlook and pensive moral compass with the ability to assess situations equitably.
The gimmick's run its course buddy. The addition of a girlfriend and moving on from the landlady hasn't revitalised it.

The fact that any "stoic" hears someone say it's stupid and they immediately go on the defensive and use emotion-based defense mechanism ie "That sounds weak" disproves its validity.I like stoicism a lot. Accept what you cannot change and change what you can for the better. It is the ultimate bullshit minimiser.
That sounds weak.
What about stoicism do you think is 'cringe', I've never encountered what I consider a reasonable criticism to it.
Bunch of man-babies that are scared of actually emotionally committing to people/things. Well, actually, they're afraid of being viewed as people who emotionally commit to things. Bunch of goobers. Mommy and Daddy aren't going to punish you because you got upset or hurt by something, you can use your words and share your thoughts. Just make-pretend bullshit.What's so cringe about it? I have problems with stoicism, but I'm wondering what yours's are.
I think it is the case of most of the 'isms' that know one does or can live purely by their ideals. Even if you intellectually believe there is no free will you cannot live your life that way, even the greatest stoic will get pissed off my something they can't change sometimes.
I think philosophy can be useful as an aspirational idea, something to see as a perfect form (to dip into Plato) to aspire to but accepting it cannot be reached in our imperfect world.
I tend to agree with what you're saying about there being things we think we have agency over. Even if we universally speaking don't have any such agency, as thinking beings we can (to some degree) create and be influence by our own reality. That's why I've always found Nietzsche quite aspirational, there is no intrinsic meaning to life or the universe, but we can create our own.
