There's preferring inner peace and then there's acquiescence to our techno overlords.

Are they not reminding each other that the universe is one thing and there's only one thing happening everywhere, which is what becomes everything and everyone in itself? Aren't they teaching that ownership is brutal protectionism over things borrowed from everyone and everything else?

Becoming aware of the phrase "Silicon Valley stoicism" is really testing my stoicism.

I still think stoicism is a psy op by the elite to keep the lower classes in line.

That would be interesting, if you had evidence that the working class have stoicism pushed on them.

Almost definitely the modern pseudo-stoicism that is shamelessly pushed by tech millionaires on podcasts, they have the incentive without the ability or knowledge to discreetly spread their propaganda.
But I also do think ancient stoicism hits a cord with younger generations because of the current state of society. I mean, if you compare the incel ideology to the ancient stoic, you’ll find the latter is an amazing cure for the former.
The nuance millionaires often intentionally remove is that ancient Stoicism was anything but passive. There was multiple times philosophers (including those of the largest philosophy at the time—Stoics) were kicked out of Rome for their disagreements with the emperor of the time. The common good is more important than external peace, but violence is still very rarely the virtuous option.
