kozhi mutta the problem is that so many people either a - don't think of/acknowledge death or b - understand about death but fear it. More people need to not fear death but know that some day they are going to die. If they accept this then they'll stop living by the rest of societies ideas of how to live their life and start living life the way they want to. They'll quit their jobs, go off the grid and start the path of living things out their own way. They won't even go by the systems set of laws (possibly only living by their own code scrapping essentially every other law provided to them). It's a matrix, this "reality" is a human reality, it only has the value that the consensus puts into it. If in hypothetical, the consensus rejected the laws and limitations of reality with wanton nihilistic abandon then reality would be thrown into a nihilistic tangent.
@@nunisthathigh4825 i think about it differently. When you acknowledge that you are in a cage, that doesn't free you from the cage. You are simply aware that you are in a cage.
I would love if there was some kind of Caffè where you could hear someone talk about philosophy. In my life no one seems to appreciate philosophy, they only talk about their careers and the weather.
Hi, I would love to talk philosophy with you. We should get our own coffee though. Unless you live near me. Then we can get coffee and talk philosophy!
I have longed for a place like that for a while now, I'd call it "The existential cafe", a place to share the discomfort of uncertainty and the profound epiphanic moments produced by discussing ideas and points of view. But while we yet don't have such a place, listening to podcasts like Philosophize This!, The Panpsycast, Philosophy Bites and History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps etc. seems like a viable option.
5. Nihilism (life is meaningless) 4. Cosmicism (humans are particularly insignificant in the larger scheme of intergalactic existence) 3. Solipsism (The self is all that can be known to exist.) 2. Anti-Natalism (A perspective of how life is cruel and how preventing lives would be good) 1. Terror management theory (theory of how the fear of death is controlled and how it motivates human behavior)
Honestly I think that those philosophies are far less scary than say physicalism (the belief that all things are physical). Mainly because I look at the implications of the philosophies in question. Physicalism implies Nihilism or Cosmicism, but physicalism provides no grounds for objective moral values which one could at least argue under cosmicism. Physicalism also makes quantum mechanics far stranger than any other philosophy does, most interpretations of Quantum Mechanics place some emphasis on the observer but Physicalism rejects this. Before you ask, no decoherence does not solve the measurement problem in QM it simply provides a basis that you still need a interpretation to make use of. If it did there would be little need for different interpretations. That means the measurement problem somehow doesn't exist or resolves itself independent of observation, yet numerous experiments show this to be impossible. The only interpretation one could hold onto (that is unfalsifiable) would be Many-worlds, but that raises so many logical problems that it is hard to take it seriously. Physicalism is to me far scarier than all of the other philosophies mentioned because it is a factor in most of them. On top of that it calls into question our cognitive faculties, because if Physicalism is true then consciousness is the result of evolution. If it is the result of evolution then our perceptions of reality are based on what is most beneficial to our survival, not what is true. Which then calls into question how do we know anything is true? How do we know the rules of logic are true? How would we know physicalism to be true?
Sad Scientist Hououin Kyouma I don't see what's so scary about that. I've long made peace with the limitations of human reason and perception, and my personal theory of morality isn't realist anyhow, at least not in the conventional sense, and can handle (in fact, it presumes) materialism. If physicalism is true, then when we die, the physical substrate of our consciousness breaks down and our existence as subjective beings dissipates. No afterlife, no fear of eternal torture or the unknown in general. Maybe it's because of my specific upbringing, but for me the only scary part of death is not knowing what comes after, and the idea that everything is physical and death is truly the end of personhood is an extremely comforting notion. There's no possibility more terrifying than the idea of eternal existence, especially in an unknown, presumably non-physical, state. All existential concerns sort of pale in comparison to the spiritual terrorism that is the dogma of immortality.
I saw that episode of spongebob where he thinks Mr. Krabs is a robot. Ever since then I couldn’t shake the idea that I could be the only human and everyone around me are high tech robots and I just wouldn’t know. Anyway, your description of solipsism reminds me of that episode lol
That’s crazy, when I was a kid I believed I was real and everyone else was a robot. I watched hella spongebob and especially that episode, holy crap how much more of us are out there!?!
Org chose nihilism, and consequently his life had no impact on the future because he got eaten by a saber-toothed tiger while contemplating his own purposelessness. Thag rejected nihilism, instead embracing the will to life, and his descendants raised civilizations. Meanwhile their mutual acquaintance Grug was all about anti-natalism, but really everyone just made fun of him cause he was an incel so he came up with a fancy word for it.
Okay, you know that philosophy where we have no purpose and we all just die in the end? It needs more octopus people. I have the best ideas -HP Lovecraft, probably
Right at this very moment I'm 30 years old, clinically depressed and deep in existential nihilism on a near daily basis. My family is visiting but I'm not happy. I'm about to start my shift at an empty retail job that I can't stand, but I get to wear a costume today. I chose the Joaquin Phoenix version of the Joker. It's also the 6th anniversary of my stay in the Psych ward. I'm not much better now than I was then. I don't even know why I'm writing this. Now that's spooky.
@@wynnhorton1208 i dont think more nihilism would help . And its impossible for a person with concious to live in harmony without principles so the questions is "wich principles should i act upon?" Personally in the deep of my extentional crisis i found relief in islam and its helped me and my goal to live is stronger than ever
What would make you happy? Have the honesty and courage to face that reality. It sounds easy to say this, but I am also still working on this. Getting in touch with nature alone also helped me.
I've been watching videos about how to deal with anxiety, the future and responsability. It's a weird point in my life where watching videos are stupidly difficult and seemingly the only thing I can afford to do for myself, otherwise the bad juices in my brain are set loose and I find myself paralysed for a couple minutes. Yet this video was the only truely relaxing thing; that I've found actually helpful.
I reject the implication that Lovecraft was a philosopher of any kind. The man never sought to understand anything. He just stewed in his own all-encompassing fear of the unknown until his brain turned into a boiled egg because he was afraid of Italians. "Cosmicism" is just willful ignorance with extra steps.
Here's a terrifying philosophy. Its the belief of reincarnation into all beings capable of awareness that have ever existed. That there is only one mind, one soul, suffering all fates. It is the belief of a near eternity of both the absolute joys and pleasures life has to offer and also the absolute brutalities and depravities it is capable of inflicting. The worst fates are the ones reserved for beings cursed with both imagination and ingenuity for even been eaten alive from the feet up would be a comparative mercy to the worst potential machinations of an intelligent mind with opposable thumbs. In the end it doesn't matter what life comes next though because all lives will come eventually. Even death has no mercy in this reality. Only in the oblivion of a dead universe without life would we ever truly be at peace.
Thankfully, humans are at the right spot for escaping the cycles of rebirth (unlike those stupid devas, asuras and pretas). We just have to realize the emptiness of self, and thus that nothing actually leaves or comes back.
@@WalterBurton dramanomics isnt even a word and I never heard of eternal return, like it matters. The extra drama was for the theme of the video, and halloween. I think most people get it. I didn't expect someone to get upset about it though. Keep your thumbs. I never asked for them.
dude, I’m terrified of my existence. Like legit, I feel like I’m a broken spring in a machine that no one knows if it even serves a real function to begin with. But at least if you’re a functioning part of it you can preoccupy yourself with a task to avoid thinking about it. I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid being useless. I think uselessness is a far worse fate
Nihilism is really only depressing if you grew up with high expectations of reality. Otherwise, everything just is the way it always was, and there is nothing to be dissappointed about-if you can stay-grounded in that.
@@Cowaco well you could say there's no meaning to its reasoning either, no reason for it to be discomforting then. Zen Buddhism is nihillistic. They are completely fine.
@Mohamed Momtaz I never meant to apply my principals to the whole humanity, humanity isn't even wise enough to reach the state of comforting nihillism on a large scale yet. As for me, nothing is valueless, one having an inherent purpose, and one having value are two different things.
@@chooha If you have the time, would you care to elaborate the general differences between your position/personal philosophy with that of a Sartrean existentialism (aka construct your own authentic subjective meaning of life, etc.) mate?? Thanks in advance mate, I'm really interested in your outlook about this topic.
@@kingofnone8565 What I said was inspired more by Nietzsche's Amoralism, he says an ubermensch isn't to impose his way of living on others, that's what the herd does. As far as Sartrean Existentialism, I don't think finding any subjective meaning to life would work for me, as long as it's objectively meaningful, by that I just mean I can't pick myself a hobby or a cult something, and call it the ultimate meaning and purpose of my life. So as long as I don't know the truth, I'd rather die without having any meaning and purpose, and it is beautiful in its own way, when there is no meaning life is a play, a dance, a musical number, there are no goals.
listening to number 5 i was really happy to find something i can relate to, something that addresses my worries and then it just ends with no rebuttal or counter argument. now that was scary.
Just imagine the cockiest and most pretentious person thinking he's the deepest and smartest person just because he found out "wait life is meaningless" and wont shut up about it. Dont need to imagine i know people like that irl
@@comradezvezda I went through a existential phase in my late teens, and in my experience it wasn't me thinking I was smart for realizing life in meaningless, it was me coping with the fact that life has no meaning. I was raised Christian but denounced it in high school at some point and it took a few years to really process that there's no purpose, no path, and no one is watching over you. It was a lonely time in my life, I felt utterly alone even in company. At some point it was freeing knowing that it was all up to me and only me, but I was truly depressed for a few years and that was something that was partially fueling it in the back of my mind. I really do think if someone won't shut up about nihilism or the meaninglessness of life, they likely just need some help, but that was just my experience.

Yknow I'm not even afraid of death. I don't get why others are. Infact I distract myself because i almost never feel happy and life is really boring for me.
All those philosophies can be terrifying indeed, but I dont feel spook. You can be overwhelmed and feel like you can't control anything... Or you can just be grateful to be desillunionnal enough to get those concepts, and accept them. All the "bad" sides of living are what makes it fun and worth. I tell these to all nihilistic persons : yeah, the universe is big and all, and we don't know much about the consciousness, but our awareness allow us to find ways to be happy despite the worst odds. Find meaningful goals and stick to it. Take care of yourself and others.
Is it scary that I’ve become de-sensitized about death that the idea of the meaningless of life doesn’t scare me anymore and I just feel as if I have to become a cog in the machine and there’s nothing I can do about it?
It's probably for the best, in terms of your own personal happiness. Clinging onto unfounded meaning can potentially be more damaging in the long run, I reckon. However, I know nothing - except that my mind exists
David Benatar? That's a picture of Peter Singer. David doesn't publicly show his face, so some people online have mistakenly taken Singer's face for his own.
Everything we do is to stave off death in one form or another. Making TH-cam videos is a shout into the void with the belief our creation will exist beyond ourselves. While most of our content will disappear, at least some people appreciates your compilation of spooky philosophies
literal semi-immortality is what I'm going for, since either we become gods through science or we're just ephemeral matter, pointless either way but our objective is eternal happiness.
Years ago i went into a psychosis where part of it was i believed that police officers and paramedics doctors were all actors. Then i realised that were all actors just putting on our costumes and masks every day and playing the part that weve been conditioned to
Finalliy I found philosophical thought that doesnt promise any afterlife or living again as different being. After death and thats it is both nightmare and a relief.
ssssssibilance can you not!!! oh my ear -_- i know you want to high light the low voice to create spooky atmosphere but please cut some sibilance frequency. great video tho keep it up!!!
Spooky Philosophy? True, tho more like, the standard questions of philosophy and existence, that every great philosopher has had a go at answering, or not answering.
"We do things simple to avoid thinking about death, include watching TH-cam"

This was fun
All those philosophies can be terrifying indeed, but I dont feel spook. You can be overwhelmed and feel like you can't control anything... Or you can just be grateful to be desillunionnal enough to get those concepts, and accept them. All the "bad" sides of living are what makes it fun and worth.
I tell these to all nihilistic persons : yeah, the universe is big and all, and we don't know much about the consciousness, but our awareness allow us to find ways to be happy despite the worst odds.
Find meaningful goals and stick to it. Take care of yourself and others.
Happy Halloween
I appreciate your Chills impersonation
That final fact has to be one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard
When he said “Including watching TH-cam” it got me all messed up
oh wow, i didn't know about #1 but that's what I was talking to a friend about the other day.
Thats why i love buddhism. We simply deny death itself so that you dont fear it.
'When i am, death is not. And when death is, i am not"
Ah yes, my daily existential crisis arriving on time. Thank you good sir
My thoughts just overwhelm me
I hope you sell merch some day. I'd buy all of it.
That moment when you've been through all these philosophies during depressive periods
Is it scary that I’ve become de-sensitized about death that the idea of the meaningless of life doesn’t scare me anymore and I just feel as if I have to become a cog in the machine and there’s nothing I can do about it?
It's probably for the best, in terms of your own personal happiness. Clinging onto unfounded meaning can potentially be more damaging in the long run, I reckon. However, I know nothing - except that my mind exists
What really got me spooked was this guy's voice.
I like this.
This audio sounds like it was recorded on a Nintendo DS in a giant echoey bathroom
A fascinating quote: 'You are the result of what you have thought' -S.G.
The spookiest part of this is that I think about this stuff all the time and it didn't spook me
Just wait til it does
David Benatar? That's a picture of Peter Singer. David doesn't publicly show his face, so some people online have mistakenly taken Singer's face for his own.
do u take suggestions? if so, will u review Jed McKenna? or at least read his books? coz he's pretty good
Aristotle was the Original Gangster :
Study logic & organize everything taxonomically.
Everything we do is to stave off death in one form or another. Making TH-cam videos is a shout into the void with the belief our creation will exist beyond ourselves.
While most of our content will disappear, at least some people appreciates your compilation of spooky philosophies
literal semi-immortality is what I'm going for, since either we become gods through science or we're just ephemeral matter, pointless either way but our objective is eternal happiness.
I wondered when you'd get around to mentioning Becker.
All these philosophers need Alan Watts in their lives
And/Or Carl Jung. :P
Spooky font man!
Which philosopher said something about how odd it is that we put food on a plate, which we then put on a table and then eat with a knife and fork.
I'm unsure but that sounds like something Sartre said?
Almost every fear ends with destroying death fear. The only fear I have Is the eternal boredom or depression
"We watch TH-cam to avoid thinking about our own deaths"
*was that a personal attack?*
Years ago i went into a psychosis where part of it was i believed that police officers and paramedics doctors were all actors. Then i realised that were all actors just putting on our costumes and masks every day and playing the part that weve been conditioned to
I love the mellow music! Does anyone know the name/artist of the songs in this vid?
Well... I was having a good morning.
Happy TMTween!
my eyes just crossed
I always thought it was kind of funny how hell is a whole lot less scary than non existence
All these philosophies seem so much more freeing to me than they seem depressing.
Solipsism is my worst nightmare, Kaivalya somehow is my bliss
Finalliy I found philosophical thought that doesnt promise any afterlife or living again as different being. After death and thats it is both nightmare and a relief.
well done!
i kinda think under terms of all of them simultaneously
I was spooked, then I just used some TMT to not be spooked.
7:46 I'm randomly watching TH-cam when... my home state pops up! Creepy!
ssssssibilance can you not!!!
oh my ear -_-
i know you want to high light the low voice to create spooky atmosphere but please cut some sibilance frequency.
great video tho keep it up!!!
Spooky Philosophy? True, tho more like, the standard questions of philosophy and existence, that every great philosopher has had a go at answering, or not answering.
It's all of them at once, but not at all.
Now that i know Scheherazade from Fgo is practicing the most spookiest philosophy.
those are just my inner thoughts bruh
Wow, a very rare pic of David Benatar. Thanks.
Baudrillard's concepts of Hyper-reality and hyper-capitalism are the scariest philosophies to me
"Will coldy annihilate our DOO DO DO DO DO!" Is my experience because of ads.
Well that was fun
But we are brains in vats. The vat is our skull
Correction at 2:06: Donald Crosby. Though I'd also make the case that David Crosby was also a philosopher in a few songs.
Bruh your audio's goofed up
Is it his audio? Or its just his voice? Eitherway its quite unpleasant to hear, although the content and imagery is quite interesting.
@@eddysetiawan2329 yea i think it's just vocal fry, but it kind of gels with the content, no?
It doesn't matter
the mic gain was too high uwu
