True Detective Season 1: Brutalistic Agnosticism(?)

     

So recently i've gotten into True Detective and Ive started with the first season, i've like never seen anything from this show and i am starting from like a blank state. But, I need to talk about this Brutalistic Approach to  Angnistism Rust has. Now i could be like so fucking off and honestly if i am i would want someone to tell me that im like wrong as fuck but anyways im gonna talk about my thoughts now. So the best way I can describe Rust's view on Religion and God would be "Brutalist Agnosticism",which I would describe as this cynical,secular view of religion and humans as a whole; and this sense of like very charged passionate thoughts about the mind and the development of the mind to where humans have evolved to this sort of like almost amass monster . I mean within the first episode he says "nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody’s nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.", He openly declares this like big hoorah for the send off of the Human race. He often is very hard on religion and its followers throughout the first 2 episodes mainly the second, He is hyper critical of human condition. He often expresses these sentiments of like this idea that humans are the root of their own suffering both internally and externally. I think this part of him is seen through himself; I mean his whole ideology is that humans should end their own suffering and own detriment on others by ceasing all reproduction, but through this you can really see how he is contradictory through this motion. He lives alone after the passing of his daughter which is the singularity point that spurred this line of thought. He by his own ideology is causing the suffering of his own and others he is around, most people don't even like rust it seems. But idk these are just my thoughts after the first 2 episodes im like really intrigued and im gonna keep watching this i could also be like so wrong so if i write another blog entry about how he's actually not a Brutalist Agnostic then dont say NOTHING.
