Pretty much. The only thing of note that continental philosophy has produced is the cult of Nietzsche, and that is only noteworthy because of the remarkable damage they has done in such a remarkably short time.

Everyone must destroy their life. According to the way they do it, they're either triumphants or failures.

Any time a pessimistic philosopher isn't actively suicidal I just can't take them seriously, especially if they offer considerations against suicide or give some poetic justification like 'what does it matter if you live/die?'

I understand that pessimism and suicidal tendencies are distinct, but there's just something phony about Schopenhauer and Cioran. They like the idea of being unable to take life and not belonging in the world, but they want to LIVE as such outsiders, and want to be part of the world as a recluse philosopher. If they're not struggling with killing themselves, maybe even if they don't actually kill themselves, it's just noise.

Fuck books full of gloomy aphorisms. I feel like you should put the pedal to the metal. Fucking do it.

No, it's not about having the coolest philosophy (or in their case, the coolest hair and stare for photos). It's about actually not feeling at home in the world, instead of just writing that you don't. No suicide, no dice. It's fake.

It's completely natural, even for an extreme pessimist, to be scared of suicide. It's basic human extinct. Actually it's the most basic instinct of all life because without that instinct life wouldn't exist.

pessimism/nihilism is nothing more than romanticism for people who are even less satisfied with their lives. It's a subjectivist, aestheticist standpoint--all you need to do is consider the position 'meaninglessness' takes in their discourse: it's the exact same ineffable, brute fact of the sublime that's always been the foundation of irrationalist thought.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
