Refute this

in what way is he a "watered down version of pessimism"? genuinely curious

Material pleasures are vapid and meaninglessness yet they're the only objectively good thing in this world

He isnt 400 pages of the same thing over and over so he isnt smart

To continue the dollar store comparison, watchers get full but there is no nutrition. From what I remember from the show, which I liked for the first season, they wrote his character as if the writers went back to old pessimistic philosophers, whom they read during their undergrad, and grabbed sentences they had highlighted for his dialogue. Admittedly, it's a psychological mind-fuck detective show so I don't expect much on philosophical content.

What nonsense is he blabbing on about?

Eternal Return for those who will only live once.

Mfw the show is an attempt to refute this. I feel like people here didn't even follow the plot, but instead watch the show for the edgy quotes. Makes me sad :(

what would you consider more in depth thought on pessimism. I've read a bit of Cioran and Schop and they pretty much say the same ideas, but with more flowery prose

If you actually read either of those authors in any meaningful capacity you wouldn't say this

>you wouldn't say this
why?

Being is light, not heavy. Things only happen once.

Yeah, I find it funny that the biggest fans of the show really didn't understand the show in the slightest.

even if it is true, i don't remember anything so i don't give a fuck.

I think you hate him because of his popularity. He's not edgy for edginess sake. Rust has a genuine hatred of life and boils it down to bite sized bits for TV. You shouldn't expect an endless monologue of every little terrain of pessimist thought, you read a book for that.

That's a topological structure, not a circle

Yeah, whatever, fag.

Both of them have a lot more to say than the generic "life is bad" pessimist thesis

It's a completely unfounded metaphysical supposition without a shred of supporting evidence. There.

but the essence of their teaching is actually "life is bad."

If ants are hording up outside of my door, and I spray them with hot sauce, causing the entire colony to die, then place ant traps in the places I knew they were, this would effectively solve the original problem. That alone destroys all of this.
Epic Reddit quote.

you're assuming metaphysical suppositions can have evidence?

No, that is not strictly implicated by my wording.

It's a TV show you dunce, do you want him to read 400 page philosophical works out loud?
You wankers will shit on anything

Schopenhauer's great work is transcending the "life is bad"

What would be an example of a founded metaphysical supposition then

Its homotopic to a circle

t. 14-year-old who read Nietzsche for the first time and took eternal recurrence literally

jokes on you, neet went mad because he took this idea literally.

But it's still not a circle. Using that overused joke, donut is not a cup.

I can't. Nietzsche was right

thats in the context of the series, this nazi dude told it, its meant to expose how their cult crept in his brain

the naziboy told him on this farm

Funny how he’s aggressive and ironic when the criminal bring this exact topic during the 90s timeline. What gives?

That's a metaphysical presupposition that can't be proven by reason alone. There's no good reason to think that is the case.

Isn’t that just mental gymnastics from late neet trying to formulate an explanation for his extreme materialistic perspective of life?

Amazing, you've misunderstood both the Myth of Sisyphus and True Detective season 1 (which isn't even that challenging) entirely.

Was he shooting at god?

>you've misunderstood both the Myth of Sisyphus
i transvaluated it
>and True Detective season 1
sounds gay
i don't want to be associated with your faggotry

Could him?

Every single day you do a million things slightly different than you or anyone else has ever done, so what is this stupid shit supposed to be claiming?

>The greatest weight.-- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
>Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science

Lurk more stupid cracker

Uh-huh. That's horseshit, and not reality. Why should I bother with "what if" crap?

Rust was a perfectly fine depiction of a pessimist in the modern era, you pseud. And if you actually knew anything about the writer's influences, you would know he lifted dialogue directly from a modern horror story called "Conspiracy Against the Human Race." There are Nietzschean overtones, but these are secondary to the author's anti-natalist bent.

>all that effort and he still has a baby face
sad

A circle is a topological structure too

Circle is a geometrical concept that can be expanded into topological structure perhaps, I don't know much about topology

he means something like eternal recurrence

>are secondary to the author's anti-natalist bent
Rust literally had a child to build his background. This Pizollato guy it’s some hack who got lucky here and there during season 1.

>physical interpretation of eternal return
wew guys come on...

>Rust literally had a child to build his background.
Yes, but he becomes anti-natalist after the death of his daughter.
>This Pizollato guy it’s some hack who got lucky here and there during season 1.
Agreed. Apparently he may not have even been the script's original author.

But in that same scene Rust notices that he's quoting Nietzsche.

Probably because he doesnt refute the ideas as well as he presents them. You dont get points for trying

it was revealed to him in a dream

cool

he says shut the fuck up because he is pointing a gun at him and panicking. he doesnt know how many other people are there or if some crazy shit is about to happen. also he says "what is that, Nietzsche? shut the fuck up."

not that user but at that point the taxman wasn't really blackpilled yet. that happened when marty comes out of the shed and tells him to go look inside. kneechee is cringe regardless, but taxman of later years would come to repeat the sentiments of Reggie Ledoux.
