The New Agora The Agora: Daily Open Thread

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the Agora. a space for casual conversation, first aid, and exchange outside the regular post structure.

If you haven't already, read the pinned "Welcome" thread.

Rules:

  1. Remember that our nature is "civilized and affectionate and trustworthy."
  2. If seeking advice, limit yourself to one top-level question per day.
  3. If offering advice, speak as someone interested in Stoic theory and practice — but do not label personal opinion, idiosyncratic experience, or conjecture as Stoic doctrine.
  4. If promoting your own work (article, book, etc.), once per day. No self-posted YouTube videos.

These rules may evolve as the thread matures.
