[@ChrisWillx] The Darkest Philosophies You've Never Heard Of - Alex O’Connor & Joe Folley
Link: https://youtu.be/9dTSNMjrJDY
Short Summary
The video explores "dark" philosophies, particularly pessimistic ones like those of Emil Cioran and anti-natalism as presented by David Benatar. It suggests that engaging with such philosophies can, paradoxically, lower expectations and even lead to a sense of humor about life's inherent suffering, and recommends approaching philosophy by exploring thinkers who resonate with your existing interests rather than starting with canonical figures.
