Parmenides & True Detective: The Search for Truth
- Being vs. Nothingness: Parmenides argues that "being is, and non-being is not." Rust Cohle's existential musings in True Detective echo this philosophical stance, rejecting the illusion of time and change.
- The Eternal Present: Rust’s theory that "time is a flat circle" aligns with Parmenides' belief that past, present, and future coexist eternally.
- Detective as Philosopher: Just as Parmenides pursues truth through logic, Rust approaches crime-solving with a relentless commitment to uncovering hidden realities.
