I guess I could make a comment about the apparent blending of stoicism and mindfulness. But right now I want to give a critique on the site itself - or be a grump, depending on how you view it.
1. The sign-up says that I should enter my email twice. No big deal, but what's really the point? I've heard that this practice is cargo cult programming; is that correct?
2. This password requirement:
> The password must have at least 8 characters, at least 1 digit(s), at least 1 lower case letter(s), at least 1 upper case letter(s), at least 1 non-alphanumeric character(s)
Is a pain. in. the. ass.
- aklemm 11y agoHate to pile on, but the signup was, indeed, painful. The site wouldn't even accept a generated password from LastPass. After getting through all that, I'm awaiting a confirmation email and it's not showing up. Feeling like a serious waste of time here, but I'm pretty chill about it because of my Stoic outlook.
- Jtsummers 11y agoThis and the other replies just seem sort of ironic to me given the course that people are trying to sign up for: Stoicism: the endurance of pain or hardship without a display of feelings and without complaint.
- Dewie3 11y agoNot sure what's ironic about that. If I was already skilled at being stoic, then why would I need a course on it? :) And I intended to sign up for it because I was curious, not because I was already sold on the concept.
- Jtsummers 11y agoPerhaps amusing would have been a better choice of words.
