Is it really possible to be a stoic in these modern times ? Material times ? To value virtue above wealth and ambition ? Desire .

That is for each of us to decide for ourselves. I equate Virtue with Freedom. Is it possible in these modern times to be free?

It is up to you. I grew up having lots of material items and wealth...the emporer of the known world...and had little issue prioritizing virtue over comfort....so yes it is possible.
