This article was about the Stoics’ disagreement with Peterson, though, and whereas he says we should channel our anger in a more “righteous” direction, the Stoics pointed out (correctly) that saying that sort of thing ignores the fact that anger is cognitively mediated, i.e., based on certain underlying values and beliefs. The Stoics think we should try to identify what those are and critically evaluate them because they’re usually based on faulty irrational assumptions about events.
