A perversion of a healthy conscience and social compassion, no doubt? I guess the stoicists were not ordinary people, who get really hurt and suffer? No wonder the modern elite is so fond of stoicist thoughts. Please, go back to their metaphysics and find out how hollow the whole ideology can be!

Outstanding, how Lucas Scripter carves a real niche between collapsing to all sorts of "projects" and outright laziness. Rest could be the "sabbath" every living thing needs, but is too shy to ask in the midst of authoritative requirements to be more productive and competent than you really are.

Sounds plausible. Something "in the air" might have reminded the world leaders of their own (empire's) mortality (ála Terror Management Theory), and a sub-conscious knee-jerk reaction might be just to grab all you can regardless of consequences. Maybe Putin's invasion of Ukraine went the same way?
