Is it fading, primed for a resurgence, or simply mutating into the next cultural battleground? And more importantly, what new culture war is waiting just over the horizon?

Expect to learn why many of Marcus' quotes might be plagiarising lost texts from other philosophers, whether Donald thinks that Marcus took psychedelics during a sacred ceremony, just how crazy Emperor Nero was, what Marcus learned about not being seduced by fame, how the Stoics would advise people to deal with depression and much more...
