    I'm not depressed, I just have Positive Illusion Deficiency Syndrome.

      Agreed, seems like inherent optimism bias and terror management theory will always help regardless of depressive realism, antinatalism based on consent and efilism.

    I think about this clip pretty often since it debuted as it's not quite the refutation of depressive realism I was expecting. It's hey you're not the POS you think you are but yeah you're probably right about the collapsing hellscape you inhabit

    I thought the same thing when I found out…
    They mocked when Edgar Allan Poe published his prose poem "Eureka" in his last year of life, describing how the universe had begun with a single "primordial particle" that exploded outwards in "one instantaneous flash." But 80 years later, cosmologists started realizing that Poe had been on to something.

    Robert Solpospky no question is a highly educated scientist, and in regards human nature. Question, has Robert read, studied, and understood Spinoza’s Ethics? He talks about Descartes, but not Spinoza. Spinoza wrote his Ethics during the 17th century; however, his books were banned. He was called evil, a heretic because he dared to question the legitimacy of the Bible, Jewish, and Christian beliefs. He explains that intuition is the highest level of knowledge, and that man’s highest potential is his power in understanding the laws that influence his nature, and that the belief of free will is a great obstacle to true knowledge.

      He has a PhD in Philosophy so i wouldnt assume that he doesn't know or understand Spinoza.

      @@Humanaut. If he understood Spinoza, Robert would understand that the brain isn't the mind. The mind is a intangible thinking thing, comprised of clear and confused ideas, The mind and body work as one unit. His concepts that we don't have free will is based on observing animal behavior. Spinoza, a 17th century philosopher, explains clearly the nature of man, of the mind, and of God. Spinoza philosophy includes science, mathematics, medicine, and art. Spinoza knows that free will is an illusion, and we are determined by the laws of nature.

    Depressed rains are a waste of life. Get educated of the Ortho molecular aspects of our brains.
