GC what happened to your other vids? i remember you did a really good one on mark fisher/capitalist realism and one on transgressive fiction.

I remember listening to this as a creepy pasta when I was 12, and yes, me and my friends thought it was a masterpiece. Didn’t realise it was a novel

GC: the sexier James Lipton. Solid yarn playboi, thanks for having me on 🤌

Great content as always.You are a great interviewer , GC.

Really great thanks ❤

Really enjoying this series man

Interesting show. You are good interviewer.

1:17:01 I don't find it depressing, at all. Shows how deluded (or depressed) I am.

Are you attempting to assemble a Legion Of Doom?

Mum, I'm doing a KZbin interview. Will you iron my special shirt.

Awesome James Flynn was how I originally found your channel

I have my topic for my first (self-published) novel: young man writes a book and gets then sucked dry by these companies that promise good sales. story doesn't end well, the man falls into a depression and ends up in the gutter. It's a tale about capitalism, I think. Hereby I am claiming this story. so keep your hands off, you bitches.

Two amazing reviewers. Still gutted that GC deleted all his videos.

Good content GC mixing it up

hi, gareth. no hate here, and i appreciate you trying new things, but your inability to stick to a format gives me little hope for this new show idea. knowing you'll probably drop it after a few months or a few episodes makes it difficult to get invested. you barely make videos now, you don't put books out, and i honestly think your "trash heap dumpster fire" format was the best, because the new streams are the same thing, but with less enthusiasm and production value. it's a shame because your main channel has real potential, but segmenting things up into multiple channels and confusing your viewers will only hinder each channel. this is why your viewership has dropped since you've abandoned the blackpill videos and reaction streams that were really working for you in 2022. i understand the old oedipus podcast went to crap because of that one episode, but since then you've just wondered from idea to idea without really settling on something. if you're gonna try movie reviews again, maybe put your channel logo on the thumbnails for branding purposes. i'd also recommend putting everything on one channel and diversifying things, but you'd have to stick it out with videos and more consistent streams. video-wise, shorter, well-produced vids with high editing could allow you to make good content at a better output, which the algo loves. it sucks to see your channels stagnate after so much promise, so i figured i'd give this advise, just in case you're interested. good show, man

this is an interview where the one who is interviewing does most of the talking

Im literally an abracadabracel, delussionmaxxed and hopepilled

Somehow I laughed out loud at the last vid’s ranting…

He's got ian brady face.

The Incel Cinematic Universe will be epic.

G.C. looking zesty as fuck.

This was funny bro, keep posting 😂

Prettygirls

Why are you sympathetic towards the pessimism of Thomas Ligotti, but unsympathetic towards the pessimism of incels?

Wonder if there's to be another episode like this maybe on the works of Thomas metzinger?

Listened to a true crime podcast about that maccas scandal a while ago, one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard lmao

Bro, you should start streaming to twitch simultaneously if possible. Might be worth it.

Complains about life. Has children. Believes he chose to be conceived and born and made a mistake. Sharpest tool in the shed. At least it's only one. Good luck to that kid.

Satisfying as always. Hopefully, I'll make it live to the next one.

What's up man. Just came across your channel from the mention. You seem like a cool guy. Not sure if this is a black pill channel but you're a handsome kunt. Anyway I wish you the best. It would be cool to talk more.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Haha, I'M DEAD! Love this stream bro, keep up the good work. Will look out for more, Legend :)

Do another stream right now homie. I missed this one.

You are alive!!! Q here! Hope all is well man.

"I was pretty sloshed..." me too man, me too. Enjoyed the stream and hope to see a review of A Place On Earth soon. I think it's a mesmerizing film. I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts about it. You should check out his first film "Palms" also if you liked it

You explaining and acknowledging the horror and absurdity (nonsense) of this world to a young person is very comforting and healing to watch. As a kid, I really wanted an adult to just admit how many lies we had to live with in life, and yet pretend that they are not.

2:10:30 well shit that’s the best advice I’ve heard. Interesting to hear ur reaction def insightful for me.

funnily enough I saw that video a few months ago, the full version is 40 minutes long. absolutely brutal for the boyfriend. can't imagine being that mindbroken to even let it happen in the first place.

Chips is the American way to say ‘crisps’

although quite a few factors go into the decisions of having children, decreasing fertility rates across the globe speaks to people's preference towards non-existence as opposed to existence. People's attitude towards procreation serves a reference point for this debate.

the showrunner for TD season 4 already blamed 'bros and hardcore fanboys' for 'review bombing' the show lmao, between that and le strong womxn leads, just put two and two together.

I found myself naturally drawn to nihilistic-leaning literature at a young age, I know I’m a born pessimist 😂

27:57 Professor Sam Vaknin is pure 🔥

Conway's game of life is a small scale reproduction of the universe. It's all deterministic, nevermind quantum indeterminancy bullshit, that just proves all data is not accesible to us at our macro scale. It's just a backdoor for mysticism, behind which lays man's inability to accept reality, death denial, all too well documented by philosophers and Terror Management Theory. We can't help but invent a backdoor of some kind, this just can't be it!! Me, me, me, surely this is all for me... We're gonna be gods, rule the universe!! Fuuck you.. "Everybody knows you live forever When you done a line or two" Leonard Cohen

I started writing a long comment before I fell asleep drunk. F that, I'm just gonna say it straight up: Schopenhauer is THE philosopher. If you are not close to this guy, as an intellectual, you are at best producing minor works of dubious value in the grand scheme of things. Also, f Fred. Good video :) You surrender to death every night when you go to sleep. Because it's pleasant. Remove the unpleasantness caused by the self preservation instinct and you get species wide suicide. Whatever "good" there is in life is merely something less bad than dying. There is no real good. Just mental gymnastics. Maybe do Studies in Pessimism next? In almost 8 years since I discovered Schopenhauer I have yet to hear anything of a comparable value to "On the sufferings of the world" and "On the vanity of existence", just 2 short essays that by themselves can utterly annihilate on the spot all bullshit society has stuffed into your head your whole life. ..Sokrates and Plato, Kant and Shopenhauer, they are the most original funmakers of the universe. The others are just chewing on them. Or try to. I have PudelMan`s:"The world as will and imagination" for 12 years now. Never got beyond page 100, though I made 3 attempts. This book scares me. Really. Too much truth at once, such density, it definitely lessens the common ground you are standing on with "the others". And at such speed, that you have barely the time to adjust your feet. A poem I found on a Bukowski forum.

If one has accepted determinism, they must then consider incompatibalism, and compatibalism. I think compatibalism is a load of shit.
