#7stoicism++ but I did a double-take at the site: it's a personal vanity site but styled as a MOOC? Ah, it's a hosted Teachable site on a custom CNAME.

#9Why is Stoicism the philosophical flavor of the month amongst tech people?
Because being in tech is life-ruining and only can only be propped up by ascetic myth-making, lol.
I suspect stoicism also appeals strongly to a personality that enters tech at a disproportionate rate -- like bodybuilding, nootropics, hackathons and life-hacks, it presents rigid, rationalized mastery of the self as both desirable and achievable. I'm hesitant to attempt to characterize the personality order to which this so strongly appeals, but it seems observable.
