Canon
•
Lukianoff: the Stoic insight — focus on what you can control — directly contradicts safetyism, which tries to control what other people say. Resilience requires accepting that offensive speech is outside your control.
•
Lukianoff: his recovery from severe depression involved physical exercise as a foundation for CBT and other interventions. You can't think your way out of depression without first establishing biological baseline through movement.
