The Regrettable Century

The Proper Amount of Bumming People Out: Pessimisms and Optimisms of Intellect and Will


Listen Later

We received a really thoughtful and challenging question/comment from one of our Patrons and we decided to give it the attention it deserves, in the form of a full episode. 
We discuss "pessimism of the intellect/optimism of the will," mourning, melancholy, the church-like euphoria of the mass meeting, and how much it is necessary to bum people out. 

If you have a question or concern you'd like us to address, send it to our email address [email protected] or message us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Patreon.
