What was said
"Andrew Tate is a fucking abuser of women, shitty person, a sex trafficker. And the idea that, like, that's who you should be taking life advice from is insane, right? Like, Stoicism is not a recipe for making you a better sociopath."
Author Ryan Holiday directly condemns influencer Andrew Tate as a sex trafficker and abuser during a discussion about masculinity and Stoicism. Holiday argues that modern alpha male influencers are weaponizing Stoic philosophy by ignoring its fourth core virtue of justice, focusing only on courage, discipline, and wisdom without ethics. He warns that strength and power become dangerous when not moderated by an ethical compass.
