The dog barked loudly
The dog let out a loud bark. Today we’re going to explore if cynicism is a relevant philosophy or just a really good excuse to be a troll. We’ll also consider its relationship to the hottest philosophy trend on YouTube: Stoicism.
To help us understand this, we’ll look at writer Ryan Holiday’s take on Stoicism. Holiday argues that cynicism is destructive because it tears down ideas without offering up replacements. He believes that cynics don’t really care about anything, and when you only criticize without replacing, what are people left with? To Holiday, this makes cynicism comparable to nihilism.
