Dr. Edward Dutton argues that depression may in fact be a natural response to the world for a healthy mind. We are no longer under high pressure to hunt, conserve food or survive a winter, and seeing the endless leisure of the modern world is in itself depressing as it becomes glaringly obvious we face no true challenge. The best way over your depression is through it, allow it to happen and then carry on no matter how long it takes, it always lifts, just develope your own intercommunication tools to know when you are deep in it.

The means of "survival" today are much more contrived in a way that, for most people, doesn't give freedom. Because the strongest pressure and I think cause of our social issues was our ability to come together.

Some of Rust's dialogue is incredibly similar to The Last Messiah by the pessimist philosopher Peter Wessel Zapffe. "I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in human evolution.

Sounds really profound but there's no way to prove that's "you" are a product of nature and not the other way around. And indeed there's a lot more evidence pointing to that "nature" is a product of consciousness. At least assuredly to the extent that we interact with it. That viewpoint expressed by rust is to blame "the world" and "nature" for who and what you are rather than taking it upon oneself.

I never thought I'd see this channel drop a video essay specifically _about_ a work of fiction rather than sporadically using works of fiction to illustrate a given philosophy, but I'm not complaining.

I've felt such affinity for rust that I keep watching the series over and over. We never see characters like him - isolated, depressed, introspective, and wholey at peace with what they are. Most normal characters would have rust chasing or being chased by women, persuing wealth or riches, fame, anything... but rust just keeps to himself in his plain apartment thinking.

My favorite show and my favorite philosophical KZreadr! ❤️ There’s a consistent undercurrent of identity to season one I didn’t pick up on until rewatching. Marty’s flaw (according to his ex wife Maggie) was that he didn’t know who he really was or what he wanted. He later tells Rust “I used to play baseball and ride bulls….you end up becoming something you never intended.” Rust on the other hand: “after all this time I know myself. And there’s a victory in that.”

There is no way... I just finished watching it for the second time. You making a video on true Detective is such a pleasant surprise. It's like Christmas all over again

Awesome essay,! Also, that was such a beautiful closing line

crazy video to wake up to, just finished a re-watch last week. thank you

having watched this video a few times, I gotta say I think changing the thumbnail and title was the right move. The first watch through I definitely was focused on the True Detective part of the video and less on the actual message you were trying to get across about doomerism. either way I think everything you make is great but I figured I'd throw it out there :P

I have found 2 ways of viewing what to do with our lives one is coping as best we can with our meaningless existence or to connect with and find meaning in that connection to others. We are always motivated toward connection - don't kid yourself, even if that connection is unattainable. I see this as two poles in flux between resignation or shoring up against what we know to be true: we are ultimately metaphysically ungrounded and therefore unable to commit ontologically to 'anything', and the other is to strive for connection a connection that finds its root (or ground) in being human. to lay this out by the sources of this understanding I use Lacan: who acknowledges our ungroundedness and our constant seeking to connect, we lack the ability to connect and will constantly exchange one failed attempt for the next. And the second pole is Kristeva who sees us a born connected to being human (through our mothers - every human has one: and at one time is connected if not to Reality, we are at least connected to being human at birth), a connection in which share that common experience. Where I think we go wrong is in trying to make a connection to a transcendental reality, a fictional one. What i think happens is we project onto reality an idealised version of ourselves. When we feel connected to reality in actuality we are only connected to ourselves. I realize there is a lot to unpack here. I wish I could explain it more simply.

I owe quite a lot to the things you've put up on your channel, keep it up man.

If not as a direct antidote, pondering and playing with philosophy is at least a good distraction (I'd call myself a doomer). It can serve as a mental workout that distracts and fiddles with interesting ideas while simultaneously acting as an on the fly spring cleaning of the mind. Taking time to really work an idea through can let you get it properly out the door and get to something better. Even writing that thought down in a document you'll never read can work wonders. I guess that's a pretty direct antidote to doomerism...

This is surprisingly astute reflection on Rustin and his worldview.

This, however, did the character justice.

Exploring Doomer philosophy through characters like Rust Cohle from True Detective reveals the complexities of detachment, societal expectations, and the pursuit of truth. The analogy of being a "True Detective" emphasizes the importance of curiosity and compassion in navigating life's uncertainties. Ultimately, the antidote to Doomerism lies in perpetual growth, driven by relentless questioning and compassionate understanding.

The first time I watched true detective I thought “damn, this rust guy has it all figured out. If you’re disillusioned with everything you can’t be fooled, and if you know who you are regardless of how it looks on the outside you can achieve great things” on the second watch I realized rust is literally killing himself every moment he’s on screen. This man has nothing at all past the case and it has aged him terribly. On the second watch I realized he’s a cautionary tale for those who follow such similar lines of thinking. I could so easily be an old addict working 5 days a week and spending two piss drunk in the back room I rent from some business under the table lamenting about the things I lost. If you let yourself see only darkness, that’s all thatll be there for you, and it’ll kill you sooner or later. You gotta find and cherish the little pinpricks of light, no matter how far part they may be.

Wow, even this corner of the internet is not safe from comments unironically oozing from stupidity. First and foremost: If he draws an opposite conclusion, it can't really be plagiarism now, can it? I mean, it wouldn't be anyways, even without the epiphany at the end (or as you call it "bait"). Just because Pizzolatto named some sources as inspiration, now under every video on the topic a bunch of people who want to appear smart cry "plagiarism", namedrop some obscure references and think they are cool and made an interesting statement, when all they do is revealing how ignorant they are as to the nuance of what in art works actually constitutes plagiarism. Also, the final scene is not really optimism (nor pessimism), it is something in between, describing our existence as a struggle between light and dark, which coming from a point of nihilism which Rust voiced so many times might feel like optimism, but it is not. And it is certainly not lazy, from the point of view of Rust, he has suffered and sacrificed so much to arrive at this point, it is anything but lazy. Or is the adjective "lazy" just something you use, when you disagree with a point made, but lack the argument or mental capacity to actually counter it on its merit? One has to wonder, if you are so profoundly misunderstanding the most obvious points made here, why are you even watching videos like this? You must be so overwhelmed, or do you not even notice that. Two sentences in and it is obvious you are out of your depth, intellectually, yet you engage. Do you just like sentences that appear to sound smart? You know, it's not a good look being pretentious, you don't have to try to look smart, it's good if you are, but also good if you aren't and are true to that. There is no shame in just watching celeb news on tmz or the Kardashians, if that's more of a fit for you. No shame at all. Just saying.

If at any point in the series he will offer a mitigating thought of his unbridled nihilism, it will be right here, in this situation. Most people would feel some type of euphoria, Rusts slightly positive outlook is comparatively muted. It is realistic, that even nihilists will have their positive moments in life, nobody is completely consistently miserable all the time. There is nuance to any person, and True Detective tries to reflect that, at least for the two main characters. The difference to a Disney movie would be, that Disney will tack on the "happy ending" (if you want to call it that) regardless of verisimilitude in respect to the internal logic of the story, which is not the case here in True Detective S1. Hence calling the ending "lazy" is completely off, it is quite the opposite, nobody deserved a glimpse of optimism more than Rust at this point, it is not lazy, if it is earned, and here, it is well earned. You seem to want the finale to end on a dark note, and the only reason you hint at is, because that's swimming against the mainstream, which is barely enough of a good criterion for a rebellious teenager. Why would that be better? What, after seeking a killer for 17 years and finally catching him, Rust is supposed to be bitter? Go on a nihilistic rant? Now THAT would be implausible. Also, the most highly rated Star Wars movie is "The Empire Strikes Back", which is famous for not have a typical happy ending. There goes the assertion viewers need a happy ending, or the implication you art has to not have one, otherwise its pandering. There are other examples too, like the highly rated Game Of Thrones episode in which Ned Stark dies, or when Batman is somewhat defeated after C. Nolans The Dark Knight. That's beside the point though.

People are so quick to blame the entire world when the cause of their suffering either comes from internal desires or just from a small subjection of the world. Your death-end job, your abusive parents or the political system are not „the world“. In addition, peoples lives tend to become what they think it is. If they think it is only suffering then they will only focus on suffering which will multiply it’s impact on your psyche. It is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy. When it comes to philosophy, then in small Dosis it can help one to understand oneself better as it gives one the ability of self-reflection, but when it goes to the point of a obsession then it will be more harm then good, ultimately the pure skepticism and detachment of philosophy is dissatisfying and this will make your life experience worse in the process.

As a long time doomer, in the last year especially, I appreciate this analysis. However I disagree with the closing stement: 'The antidote to doomerism is philosophy' because if my instinct of societal collapse does come to fruition, and my cynicism was correct then the 'antidote' would only be denial, which isn't an antidote. I can use philosophy to numb my appropriate feeling of dread, but that doesn't negate the fact that the doomer outlook is correct.

I think responses to questions like: What does it mean for a society to collapse, and what will happen after? Are way more indicative of what it means to be or not to be a doomer. Philosophies like optimism and pessimism have always been in response to the stimuli of the world, but that doesn't outright change the stimuli. It's just our brain doing backflips.

Holy fuck i didnt expect you to do a video on my favorite series. Thank you

I reject the idea that the way to have good life was ever to feel entitled to something from others. In reality you show up to life a certain way to be loyal to yourself, to be good to yourself, so that you can look yourself in the mirror and say that you did, you did not want to, it was not easy, but you did the hard things for yourself bc they needed to get done and bc that is better than sitting around and pretending like you did not do anything bc nobody was waiting to reward you for it.

Woohoo! Berlant!!!

Can you do the philosophy in ‘the never ending story’ next? :D

Maybe we dont have the solutions to be perfect beings, ones without evil. We have the belief that we know what is right but we do not know what others see outside for it takes time and cannot be always thought of. We seek idealistic thoughts, not thoughts of leisure and happiness but of productivity and materialism. What if theres another way? What if we have the tools to create something better but we are afraid to move into something different. Something equal. Because equality is not wanted by all in fact its easily stated that most people do not agree on what equality even is. So if we need to agree to be successful it seems helpless. Alienation is our world, the fear of the unknown is prominent because nobody can control the outside factors of our world. As found in our work, school, or even at home people can betray you that are closer than most. life constantly gives you problems and hardships. Our desire is comfort and security but change breaks that. What if we are chained to our previous generations ideas for the fact that we are more comfortable then ever. Luxury cars, bigger houses, more security, weapons for self defense, knowledge at our fingertips, and socialization at home. If our comfort is holding us back from change then may we leave these comforts for others to be equal? Should we live in the system of comfort or the path of hardships, the answer should be simple, comfort. Remember our entire existence is made to be comfortable now. Making it harder to separate yourself from your comfortability and to choose self sufficient life of a farmer or hunter. A life without work and full of leisure till you are satisfied with your own life. That is what I believe to be freedom.

I just finished rewatching the show 5 minutes ago. What a coincidence.
