What would be non-pop enough for you?

Just watch Neil de Grasse tyson videos and post on Reddit until the end of fucking time

Shit like this is produced by bourgeois think tanks to make the middle class complacent while the rich steals all their fucking money and uses literal slaves in the third world to make their trendy glitter iPhone cases.

Go sit in a park with your sweetie! (DON'T HAVE ONE, ALL SOCIAL RELATIONS HAVE DEGENERATED TO ORGYPORGY PROLEFEED NIGHTMARE)

Take Facebook tweet selfies of your stupid bullshit! (ENDLESSLY FOCUS ON DAY-TO-DAY PETTY SOCIALIZING AND LASCHIAN NARCISSISTIC GRANDSTANDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ALL HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO LITERALLY PREHISTORICAL LEVELS OF HYPERGAMY IN A WHIRLING GYRE OF MEANINGLESS TINDER FACEFUCKING FOR THE SELECT FEW AND ELLIOT RODGER RESENTMENT FOR THE REST)

Consume trendy garbage and eat cool food :P!!!! (LITERALLY CHINESE NIGGER SLAVES MADE YOUR STUPID BULLSHIT "THINKGEEK.COM" BAUBLES AND DESIGNER STRETCHPANTS, IN ENDLESS WASTELANDS THAT RESEMBLE THE FACTORIES OF INDUSTRIAL ENGLAND MARX WROTE ABOUT IN COMPLETE HORROR)

These people are trying to thought control you into passively reclining and injecting low-effort Mythbusters reddit filth into your brain and ignoring the dull ache of meaninglessness and consumerist overstimulation from inhaling high fructose corn syrup and salt all fucking day

"Optimistic nihilism" is what rich faggots pay slightly less rich faggots to convince lumpenproles to think they're experiencing when they work in a cubicle for 45 years to finance a lifestyle of watching proles modify Nerf guns and design "man caves". Turn off the Youtube and develop some tastes and moral preferences taht an algorithm designed by Amazon can't predict and use to predict your entire life befoer you've evn lived it you peice of fucking shit

"Optimistic nihilism" doesn't exist. Nihilism is inherently pessimistic.

What this video is describing sounds a lot more like existentialism, which branches off in radically different directions. Read Beyond Good and Evil for starters, OP

I fucking hate 'educational' YouTube, when I saw a History of the EU video that was trending it was literally 3 minutes long. People watch this shit and then go out in the world thinking they know what the fuck they are talking about because they watched a 3 min video of it that basically just shows that the topic exists. I want to make a historical channel with now introductions, it just assumed you are already well versed in the topic

I don't like that they are strategically using a guise of nihilism towards a double standards logic that suits their initial premise.

If that was a CGP Grey one, he acknowledges that he basically provides trash to entertain the masses. He was a high school teacher, and never left that mindset. His intent in his videos is to give the same content someone would remember from doing the subject in high school, not to give a complete overview. One of the best examples of his pseudness was Rules For Rulers, where he summarised a modern business oriented version of Il Principe without ever acknowledging the original(yes, I listen to his podcasts, shitpost in his subreddit, follow his Twitter et al. sorry).

Unironically a huge fan of Stirner's (by the way, the Wolfi Landstreicher translation that came out this year is way better than the 1907 translation), which apparently makes me a nihilist.
