I said I gained "more confidence", not that I am confident. After all, like I said, I put about 15 seconds of thought into it, which was how long I knew that Ryan Holiday as a person even existed.
But I think I get it. I'll make another assumption, still in about 15 seconds, this time about you: You like Ryan Holiday. You subscribe to his mailing lists, have read his writings, and may have a couple of his books on your shelf. Your views on the world are aligned with his. So you're offended that I made a negative assumption about him because he's "your guy".
I think it's very easy to make assumptions and it's good to have heuristics to make life easier. But it's not wise to double down on them.
(You're half wrong again. I dont think stoicism that Ryan Holiday talks about is the greatest philosophy. I have read a couple of his books but dont subscribe to him. Anyways I would love to buy you a copy of his work if you want to read and judge for yourself.)
