This is the second video in the "We are in Hell" series. This one delves into Norwegian philosopher Peter Wessel Zapffe's dark essay, "The Last Messiah."

Wonderful video. You presented his ideas excellently. Thank you. I am now a subscriber. 👍

[@Leevark]

Aaaah thank you! I'm listening to your "This world is Hell" video. I'm at the setting up the table part. I'm getting ready for the heavy-weight stuff, and enjoying the vid so far.

Behind the scenes of life lurks something pernicious that makes a nightmare of our world, I've joined the human puppet and the un dead

Philipp Mainländer quoting Ligotti can never go wrong.

Subscribed your channel by watching this, gonna binge watch the other videos when I have the time! I loved that you explained in a very good way about one of my favourite philosophers very well!

Welcome aborad, let's bulldoze through the bogus walls of positivity concealing the reality of what human life is.

[@Fireneedsair]

Good stuff. it’s a DANGEROUS essay… and one must be strong to ACCEPT its inconvenient truth. Most will not. The truth will not set you free….at least not this time

True, whatever cloaks the truth seems to be good.

really great video very well explained

[@CrStrifey]

I was looking for the audio version of the essay and I found this. Great analysis and video.

[@SrBautista]

Very well explained, when you first read about these concepts it can be a bit disturbing, amazing video

[@Leevark]

Thank you very much! You're right. These concepts frighteningly make enormous sense.

[@justasplanned8023]

I wonder, at the end of his life did he have any thoughts on climate change? Because it really does feel like we’re about to be crushed under the weight of those antlers very soon.

[@LinuxUser00]

Zapffe was part of Norway's Deep Ecology movement and published essays concerning ecology such as "Farewell, Norway" which has been translated into English. Cheers

[@indiefilms9865]

Great Explanation. Thank you

[@The8bitFighter]

Have any of this writer's main works been translated into English? Not able to find much other than translations of his Last Messiah essay.

[@Leevark]

Sadly, to the best of my knowledge, none of his works other than The Last Messiah has been translated to English. His texts don't get prioritised because they don't mesh with the rainbows-and-sunshine image the academic doxa loves to push. Philipp Mainländer gets the same treatment. Thomas Ligotti's notorious book "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race" is largely inspired by Zapffe's The Last Messiah. You could leaf through that.

​@@Leevark there is actually a translation of Mainlanders 'Philosophy of Redemption' coming out soon.
