Counsellors of despair
Shan’t. I had to email this to the site as comment opportunities are truncated:
Shame comments thread closes so fast. I’d want to say:
1. Interesting you chose Zweig as an example. He killed himself in Brazil (a country that didn’t do badly afterwards) and 1942, three years before Nazism was defeated and the world began its enormous leaps forward. Suicide is a temptation for the overthinker.
2. Like Sartre, you seem to counsel despair (which advice he never applied to himself) in order that “we” can act. But the whole point of ceaseless mass surveillance, the erosion of civil liberties and the nazification of law and order in the West is to prevent us combining effectively.
In the face of this, I think quietism and hope are perfectly rational. The system cannot go on for ever, and when the last eagle is extinct, there will still be rabbits.
Ben Jonson (allegedly): “I have studied all the theologies and all the philosophies, but cheerfulness keeps breaking through.”
