“
Meditations is Augustine, no?' (sigh). You come in my chat- I'm talking about Meditations, the most noteworthy piece of stoic literature from the Roman era, and you have the audacity to say, 'It's Augustine'? Why don't you just say, 'Isn't that by Menelaus? Isn't that an Agamemnon joint?' You don't know what you're saying. I- If you had said, 'Isn't that by Epictetus? Isn't that a compilation of the letters of Seneca the Younger?', then I would've been like, 'Okay, maybe that's a simple mistake.' But to think that it's Augustine, when it's Marcus Aurelius . . . It's ignorant and churlish.
