Stoicism is hard to call a fad. It has persisted as an important philosophy for over two millennia.
Georgism is a distilled moral argument that is core to classical liberalism. Classical liberalism is centuries old, as is georgism.
- trophycase 5y agoStoicism is most definitely a fad and experienced a strong revival along with the male "self-improvement" and "grind" culture. It basically popped up out of nowhere around 2015-2016 in these circles. Georgism is also a fad. A friend of mine brought it up at a barbecue during the summer and I had never heard of it in my life, and consider myself decently aware of philosophy at a basic level. Ever since then I've seen about 10 articles/topics on HN front page about it.
