Damn. That really sucks. I enjoyed Pauls videos so much, they’re the reason I watch “challenge run” content at all.

I really hoped he could pull through and stay sober after he announced his last hiatus, but I guess alcohol wins this one.

Addictions are cruel.

Would actually be a chad move

Good points, actually. I can’t really comment on the nature of free will, as I don’t know how common nihilism stands on that matter (I would say that a determined universe seems more “cruel”, tough). Whether or not free will exists you could still argue that the actions of people are still the result of the universe

Right. I don’t have much information on nihilism beyond “life is suffering”, and I’m not sure it applies to these Pop-Nihilists. But I’m sure they world argue that no external entity is needed to deem the universe as cruel. If I were to make a guess, I’d say they would likely refer to the laws of nature in place of the universe, deeming “nature” (if you will) as cruel, or at least uncaring. Tough, this would be far from the initial “life is suffering” claim, I’m sure it would entail some form of effect nature has on the human psyche (e.g. causality/determinism and with that certain unappealing emotions like hopelessness or frustration). If anyone knows more or would tend to disagree, please let me know :)

All in all good meme, but not very coherent critique, in my opinion

Breaking your arm, as is tradition on a fine normal day

Yes, please. Hiding posts / hiding NSFW posts after clicking on them would be huuuuuge for me! (yes, I know, I should know better, but curiosity gets me every time)
