Oh my gosh. 

@lumos-vs-nox   This is referred to as “mild suicidal ideation“ or the desire for suicide without substantial action behind it. It often happens when someone deals with prolonged mental health issues and suicidality at a young age. When you’re young, we go through a period where our neural pathways completely rearrange- the things that happen to us at that time will influence these changes. In a way, suicidal ideation becomes an ingrained coping mechanism. A sort of “well at least suicide is always there for me”. Your brain is part-muscle, it remembers things, it learns, it’s super great at adapting, this is just a reflex. It doesn’t mean you are weak, it doesn’t mean you aren’t in recovery.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Immanuel Kant. The metaphysics is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of epistemological reason most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Kant’s atheistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Humean empiricism, 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 Immanuel Kant truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Kant’s ironic quote, “The death of dogma is the birth of morality” which itself is a cryptic reference to Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kant’s genius unfolds itself on their pages. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

What's the difference between nihilism and absurdism
