I know exactly what type of person this guy is. They want to be a thought leader so bad, but they have nothing truly deep or new to offer, so they half-remember stories they read on the Internet -- and that everyone else has read too, because these guys only browse the big websites like Twitter and Reddit -- and hope that the blue check will give them the attention they crave so much.

Bonus: this was a reply to the video of that guy who goes to work and back home for lunch. Congratulations on understanding narration, blue check. You are truly a god among men.

    The important part that everyone forgets is that Sisyphus isn't forced to push the rock.

    He wasn't killed a second time, just brought to Tartarus and balancing the rock at the top of the mountain is the stipulation for leaving. Sisyphus continues out of spite and hope, and for him giving up is resigning to a real death. Rather than being cruel labor, it's a punishment playing on his nature.
