A good read! I will keep this article in mind in case any of the materialists in my life ever hint at seeking. I think Stoicism is a great entry point, not just in self-reflection and examining how to live but specifically how to live in an era of decline. Aurelius ruled some 250 years before Rome was sacked. I think of that whenever the decline feels pressing. I remind myself that it might be hundreds of years before things really turn over, and in the meantime I have my life to live. I've also visited one of the military cities where he wrote Meditations which was super cool. Anyway thanks for sharing!
