my intent with video posts: on videos
i rewatch this video every few months. it is an absolute gutpunch i feel like everyone should experience. it feels like a cold splash of water to the face and then an impending depression episode or anxiety attack depending on which flavor you lean into.
“what is the point of people inducing depressive episodes?”
in the close of the video he answers the question (im going off memory its not verbatim): “how do people deal with this information and not become depressed”?
he answers to the effect of this – the depression is a signal your body sends you, that something is deeply wrong. it is wrong, you should feel like its wrong, it is a legitimate response. lean into it, and trust it. what society should not be encouraging right now is more complacency in the face of crisis.
