I experience the type of joy that makes it a delight to simply participate in life.
Eudaimonia, the joy of Stoic virtue.

More like in theory one can torture you to infinity and you will show no emotion until you just pass out

Isn't it boring to never feel a strong emotion?

It is said of Epictetus that when he was a young slave he was being tortured by his master by having his leg twisted. Epictetus remained tranquil and said "If you continue, my leg will break". When the limb snapped, Epicetus said "There, I told you it would break". And from there after he was lame.
@previous (kook !!OPZbEQMT1)
This is a misconception. Stoicism isn't about never feeling strong emotions.

I'm not claiming that one should only use what is natural, but am saying that one should live in accord with their nature.

We are (as far as we know) the only animals with the ability to reason. That is our great strength. To live in accord with Nature means to use your reason and intellect above all else.

I agree that Ancient Stoicism is the basis for the Vulcan society, I think mixed with a dose of other hellenistic philosophies.
