Why We Suffer: Philosophies of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

The video essay introduces with a personal commentary on the human condition followed by the thesis, which argues against the eradication of suffering by memory erasure as a response to the pains of human existence. It follows 5 supporting arguments discussing the lack of objective judgement to consent, the social harms of maintaining ignorance, the damage to self-identity from memory fragmentation, the blinding nature of hedonistic escapism against moral clarity or truth, and the necessity of deeply-rooted suffering for meaningful connection and growth. Tying cinematic analysis with a primarily human nature-oriented strand (although, there are elements of metaphysics, ethics, and sociopolitical philosophy), ideas of Schopenhauer, Freud, Kant, Rawls, Erikson, Locke, Nozick, Murdoch, Bentham, and Nietzsche are explored. Finally, it concludes with a more detailed connection between these arguments and philosophers through a re-statement of thesis.
