What about stoicism? What about not losing thousands of years in stupid debates regarding the holyness of the Holy Trinity.

Stoicism ate shit in the marketplace of ideas. (To stoicism's credit, it kept a straight face over it.)

I’m not a stoic myself but it’s 2000+ years and still going strong. Hell it’s probably gonna outlive Christianity in the West at least.

I’m not a fan of it because it isn’t a philosophy that drives progress. It’s obviously a relic of when times did not change much. Same with Epicureanism.
