This video explains how the working class has the potential to overcome the problem of nihilism. Using examples from AI Safety videos from Computerphile and Rick and Morty we argue that Mike Neary's injunction to unlearn labor is precisely how the proletariat can overcome what Horkheimer defines as instrumental reason, which is itself a form of nihilism.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
