⁦@UFClassics⁩ I had such a great time at lecture— Q and A was so fun with an interactive, enthusiastic audience! The department really put me at ease with individually scheduled get-togethers beforehand! 🤗 so welcoming and generous! See you for tonight’s performance!

🚨STOICISM 🧵ALERT🚨 For a recent school project, I am going to be exploring an ancient perspective on a modern question in this thread: COULD a Stoic ever justify using a contemporary streaming service? (1/16)

(15/16) If you were to take an actual ancient Stoic & show them streaming today, they would be astounded. People wasting their time on the concerns of others for the sake of pleasure, paying fees to do so? The only value left would be any moral or technical lessons taken from it.

(16/16) And to be perfectly honest, I think an ancient Stoic would tell you that you could get those anywhere else. So no, I don’t think the Stoic could justify subscribing to ANY streaming service, let alone the myriad that exist today! Thanks for following my little experiment!
