Thanks for this video. I've always loved the School of Life videos. Alain de Botton gave a really good talk on pessimism. You can find it on Youtube.

School of life used to be good, now it's just a thinly veiled pop psychology channel. If you're really interested in pessimism, I recommend Schopenhauer. Or you can read contemporary pessimists like Thomas Ligotti, Benatar and Cioran if you want more modern stuff.

If I quote Schopenhauer for the 50th time, I'll probably get banned

Haha, in that case we can quote some Mainlander.
