    Bah. Fuck Kurzgesagt. For every one interesting video they make there are ten more that are just "The Joys of Neoliberalism: Here's How It's Good Actually."

    This one in particular seems to have the message of, "You're NOT working HARD ENOUGH to SEIZE THE DAY. WHY are YOU a SLACKER AT LIFE?"

    Don't sweat it, comrade. Live your life as best you can, and remember that every moment you spend obsessing over how much time you have left is a moment spent not enjoying the time you have left.

      the part of this that got me was where they explained that even if you get to budget your time in adulthood, after a point you basically rarely see people from your early life like family and childhood friends (which I already observe in my own life) and if you get to retire, you won't have much time to truly enjoy due to health issues :deeper-sadness:

        "But anyway this is just a natural fact of life and there are no other factors whatsoever"

        I feel that. As someone who's probably a little bit older than a lot of people on this site, believe me I do. But obsessing over that fact won't change it. In fact it will just make your mental state worse, which is why I can't stand this video. It's just selling anxiety disguised as helpful advice.

        Rage against the system that steals your time. Play hookie and get nookie as often as you can. Besides that, it's just the human condition baybee. At least until the reverse-aging serum hits the shelves, it's just not anything it does you any good to worry about.

    Him, CGPGrey, and What I've Learned are such capitalist realist garbage.

    I will never forgive them for making a video about how overpopulation isn't a serious problem and then making a video say it is after bill gates starts giving them money

      Oof did he clear up his rape accusation or is it that you don't know about it?
