“The antidote to Doomerism’ is Philosophy.” I have recently started to accept my depression as a way to inspire me to be productive, but use my time wisely. To engage with others but to not digress. To be present but not naïve.

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. We became too self aware; nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law." is almost like a condensed version of that essay.

Probably the first true detective analysis I’ve seen on YouTube that said something more than restating facts about the characters and show

I feel like their are an absurd amount of people like "Marty" among us that we just don't know, this was a really interesting video

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.

the atmosphere of this show is perfect, the southern gothic vibe really fit organically well to the story being told. i would be absolutely delighted if nic pizzalatto writes a season on rusts narcos days.

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.

I loved the end of this season because of Marty’s comment about the stars. We should endeavor to improve ourselves and humanity, not despair because of its many faults.

i love listening to this while trying to draw. i've been in such a pessimistic art block and listening to this really helped me get out of that state of mind.

Sisyphus 55: the antidote to doomerism is philosophy. Me: must be why I'm so content as of late. I've been focusing more of my attention on inward thought and having a consistent philosophical outlook. Thanks Sisyphus, you're part of my contentment.

My favorite show and my favorite philosophical YouTuber! ❤️ 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

You can definitely tell that some of Thomas Ligotti’s writings (particularly “Conspiracy Against The Human Race”) influenced Rust’s character quite a bit. In my opinion anyway.

I clicked so fast I loved season 1 of true detective. That intro music is so bittersweet.

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
