Are we masters of our future, or are we doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over? At TEDxTerrebonneCounty, former Louisiana police detective Rustin Cohle explains that time is something Death invented to grow the things it would kill. Time is not linear but circular, argues Cohle, preordaining “individuals” to relive the same experience of human consciousness, again and again, for eternity. If we get the opportunity, he advises, we should kill ourselves.
