Cioran is awesome!When you read or listen to his books ,your depression diminish in minutes.

Hey, I find so much joy in his philosophy. It doesn't take that much to survive when stripped of societal expectations. Better to be a slacker.

Only optimists commit suicide,
optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists,the others having no reason to live why would they have any to die?
Emil Cioran
A quote that you should remind yourself whenever you feel that you are failing .Instead of clinging to naive hope that just prolongs suffering (Nietzsche),just accept failure as Cioran suggests and then move on embracing the absurd.

I can be considered to be the scariest philosopher of all time, because now you have to deal with ´Sigurdssonianism´, which is next level philosophy, the belief that general relativity and special relativity can be combined with quantum mechanics and then combined with Hawking theory, string theory, gauge theories and M – theories, all in the name of explaining why cool shit is cool in Eve Online. As if Nvidia is not nightmare fuel enough for you, it´s like a gigantic pro Nvidia ad specifically meant for Eve Online gamers. Because I always wanted to produce the ultimate antithesis to Petersonianism and reached the conclusion that Sigurdssonianism is perfectly fit for that role. Sigurdssonianism is scarier than antinatalism BECAUSE IT INVOLVES BELIEF IN THE POTENTIAL OF ENTITIES LIKE CARL FROM LIFE TO EXIST. And that, my dear friend, is the ultimate nightmare fuel. Antinatalism, Cioranism was Hell on Earth until Sigurdssonianism came along. Thanks for your video man. Best wishes to you all the way from Reykjavik, Iceland!!

Birth is truth,but it's a problem, because We are born to seek security, and when conciseness begins the growing child is dumbfounded confused,hyper, curious and questioning "Who am I" "Why do we die,no one can answer truthfully even the simplest questions.The child learns psychic pain which the elders try to temper by implementing myths and rituals.(Sound familiar?) And this happens if the child is lucky enough to have concerned elders..For, you see,the child needs lies in order to grow without the Spector of meaningless in it's. life.But these protecting lies haunt the adult in later life.

I used to be frustrated with my people and country as well, how there is no art, no music, no philosophy, nor architecture, nothing to soothe the soul but religion, and what a religion it is!
But now I see things more clearly: people are deeply afraid of dying, to the point of sacrificing their lives for superstition. They create gods that reflect who we are, combined with what we will never be, immortal.
Or they abstract things and draw arbitrary lines; family, nation…
The only things keeping me alive now are my curiosity and hedonism.

Emil Cioran was known for loving God then he got to a point of skepticism and that's all. He did not deny the God, just said that our mind is not capable to reach those standards. Even claimed that calling him a nihilist is an insult

But what did the "devil" do to be bad? Like we're being real. "god" of the bible literally massacred tons of people but then the devil tells eve to eat the fruit of knowing good and evil…that's literally it…oh and he stood up to god union style to tell him he was being a tyrannical bitch (read the old testiment you'll know what I mean)

Not the scariest. I find all those positive-thinking gurus/motivational speakers more terrifying by far. Hell is a kind of Tony Robbins-Norman Vincent Peale hangout.
