Not really. Did he mention once that he regularly made fun of dave stove crying like a child in a mental ward because he thought it furthered his argument against stoicism?
Did he admit that he was wrong claiming stove was a sage?
Did he poke fun at my comment saying id try to be concise but responding with 3000 words?
Did i write 3000 words that didnt resort to childish digs? Strange, why cant an english teacher do the same?
Embarrassment really.
No of course not because hes a petualnt child with nothing worth saying.
"Did he poke fun at my comment saying id try to be concise but responding with 3000 words?" Tbf, that was pretty funny. Had a wee laugh.
"Did he mention once that he regularly made fun of dave stove crying like a child in a mental ward because he thought it furthered his argument against stoicism?" I too have read the original article, and not once did I see mockery of the man.
Original article? Try the comments in his youtube channel where he laughs at the idea stoics smiled at death because Dave, and I quote "wept in childish terror before it"
Also you know then from reading the article Dave was not a stoic? And that Willy got it wrong?
I am tired of this, how many times can people ignore that his motive for writing the article was based on a catholic blog and he misread and misrepresented Stoves life to prove his point.
So hilarious watching you and your cult ignore your misconceptions on Dave just to pretend all your catholic quotes about stoics are fundamentally factual.
I know you wish people would forget that and read your little reply instead of my replies but I am going to keep driving the stake into your insecurity of being wrong, as the mentally strong warrior of Christ cant admit hes wrong. Its fine though because can you not sin all your life, repent and be saved? What a joke. Do not even need to follow the doctrine for it to save you lmao.
And you still refuse to address your shortcomings.
Pearlclutching to pretend that is why you are offended, not because someone you deem intellectually inferior was capable of pointing out those shortcomings.
Did you respect English when you took sentences out of their larger context and refuse to acknlowedge counter arguements to your original misconception? No. And have you used English as a way to act arrogant and superior whilst cleverly trying to avoid putting any of my statements in your post that show I did not make contradictory assertations? Yes.
If you want to read what I actually said then look at the comments on the last post, not this pearl clutching charlatans misrepresention of my argument just to avoid admitting he was wrong in any of his original statements.
Man what a waste of my time, thanks anyway. I am glad you do not teach kids anymore as Boris being a stellar example of Etonian standards. Arrogant and cherrpicked.
'Not worth your time'
Obviously it was or youd have not written a whole blog about it 😂
Still can't get over you confused stoic with Stoic. Hope you figure out why you're so hurt by my objections and grandstand on suicide.
He did give a reason to write the blog on it: "Suicide is the biggest killer of young men. Stoicism has a dark side to it. That is why I’ve bothered responding to your objections"
"Suicide is the biggest killer of young men. Stoicism has a dark side to it. That is why I’ve bothered responding to your objections, which otherwise - for the careless spelling mistakes alone as indications of careless thinking, to be honest - wouldn’t have met the threshold for being worth my time."
If not for the gravity of the topic, Mr Knowland would not have responded. (According to his own words)
Also hes whinging about old men committing suicide and saying its going to encourage young men to do it? Well if hes bothered about young mens deaths why does he keep picking at old men?
Because its a moral grandstand to protect his beliefs and not because he cares about others.
"Also hes whinging about old men committing suicide and saying its going to encourage young men to do it? Well if hes bothered about young mens deaths why does he keep picking at old men?" I don't how you see it like that, but I still affirm that he didn't.
I have little reason to believe his own words as he has done nothing to show his honesty, taking digs at my spelling and lack of stoic works with zero reason other than petulant immaturity. Hes an egotisitical child and Its clear he is incapable of saying something of value.
Wokies dont believe in the merits of patriarchy so i call my self a woke king as a poke at their world view. And you can view Galt as a reference to Ayn Rand if you like but my name is Galt. Even my Grandad was called John. Pretty straight forward in the current discourse.
"I have little reason to believe his own words as he has done nothing to show his honesty". I would say the whole Eton affair is reason enough to see that Mr Knowland is an honest man.
After the way he has misrepresented my original argument, just to pretend like he made a coherent response in this article tells me he is anything but honest.
His first assertion is how can I make the claim stoics value endurance as long as its worthy, when I make the point in my original comment endurance is second to virtue and only matters as long as endurance can bring about virtue.
Yea. Part of me just wanted to see how long he would keep going for, and a lot of it was pretty humorous.
I was slightly surprised when he said he was a follower of Ayn Rand, although not overly when I think of other discussions I have seen her followers have; for instance Yaron Brook. (He isn't as bad as this though, tbf)
And the fact you cant acknolwedge your mistake and make the childish line of pointing out my lack of stoic works is even more evidence that you are seriously avoiding admitting you were emotionally driven to try and dismantle stoicism and you fundamentally can not point to a stoic teacher who commited suicide young.
Even ignoring Epictetus and Seneca both living to beyond 60 with chronic illness and pain from a young age.
I am disgusted with your pearl clutching attempt to avoid admitting your failures.
Please never pretend your masters in education is anything but an ornament.
Of course you want to lead people away from my original comment. Its the only way you can make the assertion that i claimed they value endurance and a long life then in the second note pretend i contradict my self knowing I made it clear endurance is only valued as long as virtue can be obtained.
You are a dishonest shill and I am actually annoyed at how underhanded you are behaving.
Is it not insulting to pick a blog post about a mans suicide and lie about his lifes work just to make your pointing at his suffering morally justified? You are nothing but a snake.
Here endeth the lesson!

Pathetic.
Please stop being rude. And please respect the English language.
And you still refuse to address your shortcomings.

Hilarious.

Insults or not, you know this is right.
Your incoherent, rambling original response is still there for anyone who's interested to read it.
At least now we all know what a Stoic temper tantrum looks like.
If you want to read what I actually said then look at the comments on the last post, not this pearl clutching charlatans misrepresention of my argument just to avoid admitting he was wrong in any of his original statements.
Hes a snake in the grass.
Genesis 3:14
The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And dust you will eat
All the days of your life
Man what a waste of my time, thanks anyway. I am glad you do not teach kids anymore as Boris being a stellar example of Etonian standards. Arrogant and cherrpicked.

Just out of curiosity, what does your name mean? "WokeKingGalt"
Wokies dont believe in the merits of patriarchy so i call my self a woke king as a poke at their world view. And you can view Galt as a reference to Ayn Rand if you like but my name is Galt. Even my Grandad was called John. Pretty straight forward in the current discourse.
What are "Wokies"? Like "woke" as the word is known in colloquial language.
I have blocked him for being insulting and because 'corrupt minds cannot be reasoned with' (Elizabeth Anscombe).
"I have little reason to believe his own words as he has done nothing to show his honesty". I would say the whole Eton affair is reason enough to see that Mr Knowland is an honest man.

Hes ego driven and incomprehensibly ignorant.
"clear he is incapable of saying something of value." Nothing of his work, both on YouTube and on Susbtack is of value? Really?
Don't get sucked in. He had his chance. His best points are in the article above. Now he's resorting to insults. That tells you everything.
Yea. Part of me just wanted to see how long he would keep going for, and a lot of it was pretty humorous.
I was slightly surprised when he said he was a follower of Ayn Rand, although not overly when I think of other discussions I have seen her followers have; for instance Yaron Brook. (He isn't as bad as this though, tbf)
Also, a bit weird that someone who disagrees with near everything you write/talk about, would put so much effort into all this. Kinds of funny, lol.
The original article got under his skin badly. And then the response genuinely triggered him. Now he's on the naughty step forever.

If hes going to argue against stoicism from the critique of christian world views the least he could do is admit its because hes afraid of death.
Yes, hes a clown and Ive lost all respect for his opinion.
