Ernest Becker countered this by explaining how our repression of thoughts of death & meaninglessness through “healthy-mindedness”, “reflexive” activity or “immersive” experience and the “forward momentum of life” are sooner or later bound to fail. And related to this, he also explained why hedonism is not heroism for most people
Well did Ernest Becker actually give a Sam Keen book a read? No. You don't understand how much Sam truly means when he says this. Of course your comment is old, but I believe there is a lot more to this video than meets the eye. If you realize that each of Sam's books truly seek to lift people up. He is not a happy dappy philosopher in my mind at all. He is a true philosopher of emotional thought he isn't saying what you think at all and its clear you have never tried to understand his prose. Essentially I hope your useless ideology that life is all pain no gain shit vibe some kind of creative twist. Have you tried to read this man's books? I am genuinely curious. Actually, don't bother. They might too positive for you. Very quirky of you though to think your comment mattered on this video.
I know in my heart that every single book he writes brings bright forgotten feelings and ideas to my mind
Love to see Sam over here ! Absolutely G R E A T author !!!
Preach.
Wise and timeless words.
Very true.

Have fun with that antiquated philosophy
@@dogeatsstake Terror Management Theory has provided empirical evidence for Ernest Becker's perspective.
@@mr1001nights Bro even TMT theorists don’t take that much of a hardline approach with this stuff.
