If anything ligotti should be proud of this. Plagiarism in this context is stupid.

>plagairism
>having a character inspired by a philosopher

This is retarded, how is it plagairism to comment on a philosophy using art?
People parody philosophers all the time.

I’m not a muh plagiarism fag, if anything I encourage “plagiarism” as long as you make something cool out of it. But the funniest part about this is that there is a section in Ligotti’s book about how any popular media works that seem to embrace pessimism invariably cop out at the very end with some sort of hint towards positivity and hope, and that’s exactly what Rust does at the end of season one.

The philosophy of efilism: if you keep looking for biological truths you'll eventually realize that life is a parasitic self-replicating mechanism that serves no higher purpose. That sentient beings acquired pain receptors to motivate them to survive and reproduce. Once these two truths are accepted, you'll come to the conclusion that there's no positive value in life since every feeling of happiness is a mere fulfillment of wants/needs that exist to fulfill purposeless imperatives: survival and DNA replication. The dark pill to swallow comes when you realize that life is not merely non-positive but actually negative once it causes suffering in sentient beings possessing pain receptors. You'll get to know the fact that we can't heal the wounds of existence.

You'll know that all human cultural creations are delusions that helped some homo sapiens tribes to gather efficiently and genocide/control other tribes and survive and reproduce, but that once the industrial revolution began, human beings started to have less and less need for such delusions. Thus the end of religion, nations, family unit. You'll realize that the consequence of this is that we're currently in a behavioral sink that creates a lot of misery through atomization in an inherently social species. You'll come to the conclusion that this reality is a dark manifestation of the worst of what life can create and that the only solution is efilism.

(you) didn't realise that when you were a teenager after reading Freud for the first time/after jacking off? everyone knows that. everyone knows they're going to die at some point. it's spinning in the void and childish to just sit down to die and let yourself be defeated by the world and god and whatever else let this cruel cycle perpetuate; may it be endless or not so, it does not make it any less cruel. these arguments are all unhappy, all invalid. your language is not developed enough to go to solve this because this is a paradox, a tautology or fallacy, depending on from which point of view you chose to look at it, the results are the same.
expand your mind and you'll see that it's really all about living the most.

Optimistic bullshit, true pessimist is the one who offers no "solutions" and pass away in complete silence.

I believe the last line of the finale is him looking up at the night sky and saying “Once there was only dark. If you ask me, the light’s winning.”

The funny thing is that Ligotti is just a pale imitation of John Gray.
