About this episode
"I'm not a Pessimist, I'm just being Realistic"
This phrase has become familiar to many, by becoming a calling card of the cynic. But what does it mean to be a cynic, or a skeptic, or a nihilist?
Cynicism flows through so much of our contemporary culture, whether within the microcosm of Gun Culture or macrocosm of the Post-Modern West. We imagine that the absence of deprivation has produced a side effect of the absence of meaning.
Cynicism is cowardice masquerading as bravery. How to avoid it and the death it brings.
