Thanks for this comment. I was hoping that segment would come off as a genuine reminder for undergrads to loosen up a bit and enjoy the fun parts of college after reading a chunk of heavy material that likely goes against many commonly held preconceived notions.
But I appreciate this pushback; it’s one I haven’t encountered much in my social circles, which usually view the “life is short” sentiment in a positive light (see: Kurzgesagt’s Optimistic Nihilism video). FWIW, I find that this perspective encourages me to try harder and be better.
