Hmm. I wonder if it's worthwhile to make a distinction between external locus of control and absence of a locus of control; Stoic-style fatalism seems subtly different from Calvinist-style predestination, and somewhat more clearly distinguished from limited self-determination within a motivational landscape defined mainly by forces outside your control.
Yeah. I winced a bit when I clumped them together like that.
It seems to me that Stoicism asserts that your locus of control over external events is external, but that you can control yourself and by going along with Nature and in doing so eliminate your suffering.
