Everything is how we perceive it. "Real" has no meaning because what is real is defined by perception, and we all have different perception. Mainlanders idea that the "it is better not to be" was just an opinion based on his perception and experiences. Someone else could be completely happy and optimistic and say the opposite. How we perceive the world is how we construct it. Mainlander personally believed that death was the ideal and projected that onto god's will. And i say projected because any typical religious person would say that mainlanders idea of god are flat wrong. And mainlander was probably aware of this. Humans are like the a mixture of god and apes. We quite literally create the world individually and we judge other's as if we knew everything. This is a symptom of having an ego. The ego is what makes everything we perceive. If mainlanders ego desired to die then the world desired to die.

Then there was Carlo Michelstaedter of the province of Friuli in what is now Italy ... A tragic case ... He started writing poetry at a young age ... mostly sad and tragic poetry. He studied philosophy and wrote a doctoral thesis at the age of 23 (if I am remembering correctly). This thesis (its title translated into English as "Persuasion and Rhetoric") was nominally about ancient Greek philosophy, but actually argued that a person who wished to be true to him or herself would have to be an outlaw, a social rebel, or a suicide. On the day that he received his letter saying that his thesis had been accepted and he had received his doctorate, he killed himself. His poetry was good though the earlier stuff did have all the failing of youthful excess.

The issue is that philosophy doesn't exist in a vacuum. Of course a depressed melancholic weirdo that gets no play is going to view life as inherently shitty. A more attractive, charismatic or rich person is going to view life as their oyster.

Everything is transient and vanities. It doesn't matter what your social status is. Life is going to be ultimately shitty for you too but only less so. Ignorance to life's horrors is the only thing that can make you live in peace since a pessimistic [realistic] view of the world is the most accurate. That doesn't mean that a pessimistic view is to humankind's benefit however as pulling the veil of reality is not something that one can easily come to terms with and since we're here we might as well make the best of it and choose to live happily.

I find myself quick to criticize certain philosophers for being to pessimistic. But then I read up on their personal lives, and no wonder they have such a dark world view. Cioran, for instance: I would probably be on board with him if I had severe insomnia. Sounds terrible.

Lol, I've come to the conclusion that if something existed that could think independently without emotion or prior expierence. Any amount of philosophical thought or thinking wouldn't make them sad nor happy. They'd see everything and nothing to be the same, indifferent. Thinking or philosophy make us humans peaceful, anxious, depressed, or feel other emotions is due to our biologically hardwired chemical processes in the brain. Closest we'll ever get to a thing that can think independently without emotion is a conscious computer, but we don't even know what consciousness is completely or how a computer would gain it. Also, computers have an objective ground to fall back on. Their code.

Hello Sisyphus, Great video, as always! If I would have one request, it would be for you to write the name of the philosopher you discuss somewhere in the video, or in the description. It is difficult for non English natives speakers to understand who you are talking about if it's not written and it complicates further research on the new philosopher introduced. Thank you for your work regardless!

It's actually crazy you say this because to anyone that experienced eagles death knows that you sort of feel like you're in the place of God and that is when you feel like everything is you and you are everything and you can live anybody's life and you know the future of the past so none of it's fun anymore like if you could control everything but with no resistance and no friends why would it be fun so I believe God is created us to be his little minion friends but not to do evil but to evolve the universe even though when I came to the conclusion of ego death on LSD I seen that it's very cold it's actually I would say hell like people think hell is being tortured but it's knowing the truth that you are connected with everything LMAO

6:24 "Mailander believed in psychological egoism. The idea that was is best for the individual is what makes one happiest." This isn't what psychological egoism is. Psychological egoism is a descriptive view, not a normative view. It says that all human actions are motivated by self interest, such that even apparent acts of altruism are still self interested. It says nothing about whether self interest consists happiness, or preference satisfaction, or anything else. It also says nothing about what we ought to do, what would be 'best', what is valuable, etc. You may be confusing it with rational egoism or ethical egoism.

This freaks me out. Pondering about “God” in the time of my first 2 acid trips lead me to the same conclusion; (1) loneliness drove God to madness (2) of this madness God came to the conclusion of dispersing itself (mind and consciousness) into as many living others and things as it could in order to forget itself. (3) Acid trips remind us of that decision hence why we feel “connected to the universe” as we simply are the universe and the remains of God. Probably why so many people who drop acid come back with this Messiah Complex.

Something people get wrong about Mainlander. As one of the greatest pessismists he did not ignore schopenhauers idea that if mans needs would be provided the pointlessness of it all would become more apparent. If we take this into account maybe his politics is a bit more darker and coherent with his nihilism, what i mean is by providing better material conditions to the most people via socialism the pointlessnes of it all would become more present in the collective consciousness of humanity and thus lead to nothingness quicker.
