  I'd say it's nice to have a 'baseline' that you can operate off of. Life has never for me been so stressful and worrisome that I needed to regress back to a base point where I feel perfectly at ease with all outcomes, honestly more basic stuff like threat modeling at an intellectual level has been more than sufficient. I'm not going to say that all my meditation has been useless, but there's definitely a diminishing point of returns there where you need increasing amounts of refinement before you can really distinguish differences. Stoicism is really "good enough" for most purposes. It's like buying $500 whiskey when you can't even tell the difference between $100 whiskey and $200 whiskey, they both taste smooth. Meditation techniques take time and effort to perfect just like anything else, and eventually you start needing more time to move the needle. At some point you just want to get back to the world and accomplish things.
