Ground.news does a good job of presenting both sides, and even has a blind spot feature

Stoicism. The two major figures that I use to discuss stoicism are Viktor Frankl and Epictetus. Epictetus was born a slave and was crippled by his owner, but eventually was freed and found a happy life teaching Stoicism. Viktor Frankl wrote about finding meaning in life even living in the concentration camps. While not explicitly Stoic, his Logotherapy lines up very well with Stoic principles.

There were no locks of the booths, and phones were in fact occasionally stolen. But it was generally not worth the hassle, and so there were no locks. Plus they were meant to be accessible 24/7.

Finally, many times the phones weren't in the booth and we're just mounted to a wall. The booth was to give you some theoretical privacy and reduce background noise, that's about it.

I'm a big fan of Chris Fisher's stuff, and I think he has a great take on the Stoic God here: https://traditionalstoicism.com/a-conscious-cosmos/. Another good contemporary Stoic author is Kai Whiting, who has another good take on the Stoic God here: https://stoickai.com/2019/09/19/the-stoic-god-a-call-to-science-or-faith/

Yup. Was going to install it but it's not there, so I'll wait. It definitely sounds promising though.

Where's a good place to find a good plexshare?
