The Stoic Advice Every Man Learns Too La...

Impact Theory
About this episode

As you know from the recent guests I’ve had join us on the show, we’ve held a lot of conversations exploring both the red pill and blue pill communities. Looking at both sides and considering, objectively, what is true and what best serves the current state of masculinity as we see it now, we’re here for this incredible conversation to move the narrative forward and extrapolate the best ideas you can build on to think through masculinity in a novel way that empower you.

Today, I have repeat guests and one of our fan favorites, Ryan Holiday joining me to weigh in on the discussion and orient us around how the stoic philosophies of Marcus Aurelius stand to the ideology of Tate and the red pill community’s narrative. Do YouTubers and influencers hold the key to masculinity, not being taken for weak or unsuccessful? Or does Marcus Aurelius and the ancient stoic philosophers have more to teach us on the idea of true masculinity, strength and control.

This episode challenges you to consider the root cause for the answers many of these YouTubers and Influencers are reaching beyond truth to answer.

  • In the first part of this two-part episode, Ryan lays out:
  • 4 Stoic Virtues the Red & Blue Pillers Can All Build Their Life Around
  • The True Essence of Power and Masculinity (Are you aligned with the algorithm or actual fulfillment in your life?)
  • How Only Fans Has Made Slaves of Men’s Values & Beliefs
  • Why Pointing Blame Everywhere Else Doesn’t Make Your Lack of Success Any Better


Stick around for part two of this power packed conversation with Ryan Holiday as he runs down the stoic view of gendered emotions, not being red-pilled, and the social media distortion that’s got you too dizzy to aim at anything.
