TL;DR: Launch of "A Stoic Resurrection": a collection of ideas - to, by and from - the practitioners and perusers of Stoic philosophy
Hey everyone,
So during the weekend I launched a little side project called:
"A Stoic Resurrection"
For now I will be sharing my favorite quotes from both historical and contemporary thinkers in the form of photos or short videos, plus some of my own thoughts, as I have noticed they seem to be very much aligned with the Stoic philosophy in general.
I played around with some ideas regarding the design and aesthetics, and settled on this kind of style for now:

Video examples
For now I'm using copyright free images from Unsplash plus copyright free recordings of classical music via Musopen (starting off with Chopin) for the content as per my Open Source Culture philosophy.
The current goal is to post 1 quote per day on average. I will do my best to post the quotes here in the Stacker Saloon as well, as I have already done a few times
I do have some additional ideas for the future, but as I said, this is a side project and how much time & energy I'm going to invest in this will depend both on the amount of free(ish) time I have on hand, my current level of interest in the subject, as well as how much demand & audience there is (or isn't) for this kind of content.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, criticisms, suggestions, and perhaps some of your personal favorite Stoic thinkers / ideas from both past and the present that have caught your attention.
Oh, and of course, if stoic philosophy sounds like your cup of tea, please feel free to give the project a follow on your preferred social media platform(s) and/or show your appreciation with zaps:
