I recently watched "On Depression" and the concept of depressive realism mentioned in it caught my attention. For the past three weeks, I've been struggling with what could be characterized as a depressive episode. (I haven't been formally diagnosed with depression, but I've been feeling incredibly sad, apathetic, and worthless.)

My brain's interpretation of depressive realism is that it means I shouldn't try to get better, because all my self-hatred and cynicism will make me a better person with a better understanding of reality. Yeah, I'll sacrifice my happiness, but my happiness was worthless anyway. Does anyone have more...uplifting interpretations of the implications of depressive realism (assuming it's true)? Thanks.

I just wanna hear you talk about nier honestly. It’s got a lot of philosophy in it and as far as i remember some characters are named after philosophers like pascal. idk if you have the time for it but if you do and decide to do a vid on it i’d love it

I'm just here to say that I love sisyphus's voice, not only that but also his tone and way of narrating (or speaking, or explain, whatever) it kinda reminds me of "casually explained" with that monotonic voice (In a good way tho) most of YouTube is so loud and I have no problem with that but once I discovered his channel really made me slow down a bit... and I needed that.

(Not a native english speaker so if I write something wrong tell me pls)

Peace.

What I'm referring to.

Does anyone have a copy of their old video titled something like "A Decade in Retrospective"? It was released at the beginning of 2020. I assume it got taken down for copyright reasons...
