Poll for the next video

It's time to vote for what the next video is going to be. The poll on whether I should retain the name "Cuck Philosophy" is still up and is at a tie right now so don't forget to vote on that too if you haven't.

Here are the option descriptions:

1. I would talk about The Emoji Movie as an example of what The Frankfurt School's Adorno and Horkheimer called the culture industry - when culture becomes commodified, standardized, mass-produced and used to keep people in passivity. Even though Adorno’s work on the culture industry is decades old, it still pretty well applies to The Emoji Movie. It’s a good example both because of the ubiquitous product placement and its plot structure. You won’t have to have seen The Emoji Movie to follow the video, of course. Wisecrack had already talked about The Emoji Movie using Horkheimer but they did it in terms of instrumental rationality, which is not the angle I’ll be approaching it from.
   
2. I’m not sure if this is the title I would use yet and I don’t know how interesting people would find this topic. The video would be about a trend I noticed in the 90s and the early 2000s, where corporate imagery used themes of global unity and “ethnic” aesthetics (new age music, native chanting, childrens’ choirs, different cultures holding coca-cola bottles, etc.) Along with global unity, it would try to evoke a feeling of “returning” to some kind of purity, simplicity or spirituality. This would be a bit more like my K-Pop video, in that it wouldn’t be a single specific thinker or theory being applied to something - more of a general overview. I would talk about both the one-sidedness of such corporate themes, as well as their inherent hypocricy.
   
3. I'd talk about the philosophy of the 1st season of the TV show True Detective, which is philosophical pessimism, explicitly talked about by one of the show's main characters Rust Cohle. I'd talk about Thomas Ligotti's philosophical influence on Rust's character, but also about the philosophical influences of Ligotti himself, such as Zapffe and Cioran. I'd explain some philosophical themes mentioned in the show, such as the depreciation and denial of life, pessimism as a worldview and antinatalism. You wouldn't need to have watched the show to understand the video, but I imagine this would be of interest mostly to fans of the show.
