S2 E4: Midsommar and Despair

Informações:

Synopsis

I discuss Ari Aster's "Midsommar" and despair.  In this sense it is, in a Hannah Arendt understanding, political despair.  That means that human beings do not have the ability to minimize suffering.  I rage against the idea that "life is suffering" and that human beings do not have the power to minimize suffering and bring about healing.
