It’s fascinating to think about how ancient Stoics like Marcus Aurelius might have approached modern technology, especially something as advanced as robotics. If they had access to it, do you think they’d see it as a tool for practicing virtue and self-discipline? For example, could robots help us simulate challenging situations to practice patience or temperance? Or maybe they’d use them to offload mundane tasks, freeing up mental space for deeper reflection and growth. I’m curious how do you think the Stoics would balance embracing innovation while staying true to their principles of simplicity and self-mastery? Would love to hear your thoughts!
