Another excellent article full of insight and will be helpful for stoics of all hues. I have come to see that many conflicts and social problems are indeed related to brain biases and your suggestions for how these can be mitigated is very helpful. To me this is what modern stoicism is all about: using modern science to help us attain wisdom and reach our potential.

Thank you, Tim! I do think there is tremendous potential in combining Stoicism with modern psychology--it's a very exciting area for future exploration.

I thoroughly enjoyed your insights on errors in social judgement, especially the discussion on the balance between being overly judgmental and overly tolerant. Stoicism's practical tools for self-examination and balanced judgment are wonderfully articulated. This is a thought-provoking and practical read for me. Thank you for sharing.
