  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Satanic Youth Kenya. Optimists, do we have
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: optimist listeners here today? Don't hate our episode because we
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: will be talking about philosophy of pessimism by Atul Chopinawa.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And many people come to me telling me that, no, stop,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: don't be pessimistic. look life in a brighter angle little
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: did they know that this philosophy of pacifism is the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: brighter angle and it's freedom all right i'm not telling
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: anybody to start switching whatever philosophy they are abiding to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: but just listen take this as food of thought And remember,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: if you choose to follow these ways or this philosophy,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it's costly. It will set you apart. It will make
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you a stranger in rooms where you once felt at home.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It will make you a stranger in rooms where you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: once felt at home. Friends may interpret your distance as coldness.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And family may see your silence as detachment. Society which
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: thrives on conformity will brand your absence as failure. But
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this is the very sign Of moving. Towards freedom.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Have you ever. Been somewhere. Maybe in a room or somewhere.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Full of people.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And. All of a sudden. You feel like. You are alone. Yes.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Like their connection. Is hollow. Empty. a blank.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't like the social life of a fast.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not that social being. And people will be there
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in the social life, social scene. People will be there
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: arguing because of their egos and emotions. To me, This
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is really boring because I can't keep on acting just
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to stay there in their spaces.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Alright?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So, most of these social interactions are driven deeply by ego.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Did you think that these social interactions are driven by
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: love and care and and honesty.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Did you think that? Optimists out there, did you think that?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yes. Alright, rethink this after you listen to this. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it seems just like a stage of people acting out
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: their lives, playing a scripted role, and I can't keep
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: up with that. So, at the shopping hour, found out
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that the more shallow you are thinking, the more comfortable
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: with service-level life you will be.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But for those who question existence, for those who think
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: deeply and.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Grapple with mortality, Yes, certainly.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Ordinary conversation is just noise distracting from the deep truths
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that they are encountering within themselves.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Alright?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The louder the inner signal, the more intolerable the external
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: noise becomes. Or if you have found yourself seated with
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: people and outer noise is so much and it's so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: intolerable and you feel exhausted like walking out of there
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is because the inner signal, your inner signal is louder
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and you can't tolerate staying there in the noise. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: solitude is not loneliness and I don't know why people
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: don't understand that. Solitude is not loneliness because a mind
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't need others to be complete. If a person doesn't
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: need others or a mind doesn't need other minds to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: feel complete, then that person, we can call him, he
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: is in solitude. He is not lonely. Lonely, you need
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: others to feel complete. I feel I have outgrown the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: social life. And it's not that I'm arrogant about or
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I hate social life.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I regulate it very highly. I'm not a social being.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And I've found something more sacred. The inner world. That's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: why I find no interest in the social world, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: outer world, which anyways I can't control. And I can
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: control my inner world, which is so sacred to me. So,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it's not an argument about optimism and pessimism, all right?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But just think about this philosophy. Many people fear solitude.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Because they fear themselves. They can't stand being with themselves.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: To confront the unfiltered truth of their own mind. Turning
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: inwards is the beginning of a genuine journey of self-discovery.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And it's not empty. Remember that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: People project People approach me and tell me that why
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: are you a pessimist?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You're empty. Who hurt you? They don't understand.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: The intelligent mind lives inwards and with peace. Solitude is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not a punishment. This is where all the illusions of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the society falls away and you think clearly. for something
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: real to emerge you are there with yourself and no
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: destruction no external noises.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: So real thing real.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Reasoning emerges so i do sharpen our declared to know
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: deeply is to suffer deeply And not because intelligence makes
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: life worse.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You know, optimists, I don't know how they think. Anyway,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's not that intelligence makes life worse. It's because it
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: reveals life more honestly. The intelligent person sees the absurdity,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the impermanence, and the will that drives human existence. Once
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you see this clearly, it's impossible to unsee. That blind
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: force called the will is irrational and can't be satisfied.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: When one desire is fulfilled, another takes its place. Haven't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you realized that? And what follows It's like a pattern.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You fulfill this desire, the next one starts. If you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: feel it, the next one takes its place. You fulfill it,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the next one takes its place. You end up in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: desperate and in frustration. So, if you look at the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: philosophy of pessimism, people think that these people are empty.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: They have just checked out in real life. But what
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you but you can see clearly this is directly dealing
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with reality and life as it is, seeing it clearly, right?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: This is why intelligence and suffering works hand in hand.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: The clearer we understand the nature of the world, the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: more difficult it will get to find comfort in its illusions.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Optimists, have you heard that?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: This is why intelligence and suffering works hand in hand.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And the clearer we understand the nature of the world,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the more difficult we will get to find comfort in
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: its illusions. and everything is passing, everything is fleeting, right?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: One must understand that everything is fleeting and even our
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: own best creation and achievements will be long forgotten. Others
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: will be like, no, it will be preserved. You must
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: understand that everything is fleeting. Everything, your relationship, everything. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: this is not being dysfunctional or I am depressed. No,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it's clarity. This is pure clarity from the philosophy of pessimism. Right?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Schopenhauer said that the very awareness that causes suffering can
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: also lead to liberation. Once we see the will is
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the source of your pains, you can detach from it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: If the will is the source of your pains, detach
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: from it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Say no to constant chase of pleasure. and seek inner stillness.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: If the will keeps recurring and you satisfy it, another
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: takes its place, you feel dysfunctioned and frustrated, just say
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: no to the constant chase of pleasure or the constant
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: chase to fulfill the will and seek inner stillness.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Do you see anything like out of direction there? So,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: pain is the prize of wisdom. The intelligent mind must
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: pass through suffering just like gold passes through fire to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: purify it and emerge as pure to be truly freed
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: one must detach, not from life, not from life. No
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: one must detach from life to be free. To be free,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you must detach, not from life, I repeat again, but
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: from the illusions that society worships. Religion, consumerism, ETC, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: as we finish up, Today's episode, it will be a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: brief episode. Remember, the crowd is guided blindly by instinct
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and will. The crowd is guided blindly by instinct and will.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: What they are, look, as I've just said, look at
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the consumerism. of the society. Look at how the society consumes.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Look what they are teaching their children. What's their drive?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And now you can see the dance, right?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Do you see? Now you can see them dancing, right?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Yes. And others will still call me a pessimist. I've
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: lost direction and I'm in a dark place in a corner.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Can't you see them dancing? Can't you see the society acting?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Look at the social congregation. Look when you're seated in
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a room with people. How you feel empty engaging with them.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Look how they are acting on script. Actually, it's not
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: like they're unscripted. They're unscripted. And the constant performance by
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the crowd and the society. To have freedom, you must
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: detach from that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Until next time, I'm your host, Satanist Craig Jameel and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: your co-host, Zapata.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: The voodoo doll. Yes, Satan is great.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Until next time. Hey, philosophy of pessimism. Hey, Satan.
