PhilosophyTube is usually pretty cool but I think this is kind of an L? She gets into some pretty heavy criticisms of the traditional Stoic philosophy and seem to just dismiss them all at the end. I don't know how someone can say that "You can be in literal chains and be the freest person in the world if you are a sage" with a straight face. I know it's technically true from some perspectives but it just seems so hollow compared to everything else in the video. Mental freedom doesn't help someone when they're doing a daily 12 hour shift that drives them to the edge of exhaustion and takes away everything they enjoy in life.
None of this is me criticizing Stoicism, btw, I don't think I'm smart enough to, just felt like a weird end to the discussion part of the video
Maybe, I'm just not familiar enough with PhilosophyTube's format?

A lot of transphobes will use "they" for binary trans people as a way of challenging their gender.
CW Transphobia
Looks like the other person deleted their comment but just to add in case someone's reading, I used to do that myself before I got more educated and started to support trans people. It was a way I could have my cake and eat it too, I would deny their chosen identity but I wasn't using their former pronouns so it was a shield against accusations of transphobia. We should be skeptical of it, even if it's benign in some cases like here.
