YES THE STOIC REVIVAL IS DETERMINISTICALLY OCCURRING

Stoic revival is happening and can be accelerated. It requires no mysticism, no ‘belief’ (suspension of reason), only discipline. And as such it can be taught as a ‘scientific discipline’, a ‘philosophy’, or a personal religion.

We cannot hold the ancients responsible for ‘mysticism’ because just as we use pseudoscience and pseudorationalism today they had no other means of explanation available to them

What’s important is that they attempted to find a way of competing with, succeeding in the world, rather than ignoring it, or escaping it, or denying it – like other cultures did.

Stoicism is action oriented. it asks you to improve your own human capital (virtues). Through acting. Through gradual achievement. But it allows one to ignore the judgements/opinions of others. That this is simply the internalization of natural law is not obvious.
