He's not wrong

>>24843821
I hate this board so much now. It wasn’t even this bad looking at archived posts from two-three years ago.

it's lonely on top

>>24843821
On the internet we can be alone together and that's sort of nice

>>24843821
the deepest truth is that you are the man and you are the woman. all are One

>I need someone to be complete
you know this is bull, don't you?

>>24843837
This anon knows..have you seen beyond the veil?

i don't buy it. thinking is not only internal computation. explaining, arguing, and receiving feedback are integral to clarifying and improving ideas. If my idea never reaches others, its impact, the test of my "greatness” is limited

>>24843842
no u

>>24843837
>>24843839
how do i access my woman self?

>>24843856
start responding to your own posts

>>24843821
Kill yourself

>>24843821

>>24843944
false dichotomy. i can still study while enjoying social life

>you will have less time to study then
no. socializing can also be part of studying

>>24843821
Copenhauer

>>24843854
Do you have any evidence for that?

What the fuck is wrong with this board? Why is it riddled with actual noggers? For surely, if you can't even tolerate your own company, that's what that makes you: a filthy nogger

That's how I see things.

He's a fakecel

>>24843821
Hes precisely correct, and he even went went as far as to not glamourize it. Enjoy fucking around in the mud, for social capital.

>>24843821
Schopenmeme only became popular once he dropped dead and no one had to hear his incessant vitriol nor interact with him. If he was alive nowadays he would have been an internet punching bag due to how obnoxious he would be.

>>24843854
>explaining, arguing, and receiving feedback are integral to clarifying and improving ideas
He wasn't a desert hermit. The great nerds of history tended to socialize through letters and publications.

>>24843821
He was GERMAN. Why would anyone ever listen to him of all people?

>>24844039
>no. socializing can also be part of studying
Only the steadiest minds can sometimes slowly and patiently approach knowledge. The ape mind is not adapted to study or think, it wants social status. Even if rooted in sincere curiosity and enjoying the process, whatever motivation you have to study and think is still piggy backing on adaptations geared toward gaining social status and reproducing.
A single femoid giving you flirty eyes or whatever can almost completely override the biological foundation for your motivation. She can motivate to some degree like if she likes guys who think but then your thinking has become performative. To the degree that your thinking is motivated by impressing her conclusions that wouldn't impress her are off limits.

>>24843821
Historically most great minds weren't alone. Shakespeare had a wife and children. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates all were members of communities with many social bonds. Napoleon was married much less had his many officers. Cope

>>24843821
It's kind of the opposite in that the great mind can understand and relate to everyone. But he's generally correct that one will find normal company boring
>>24843842
Yeah if anything he was a womanizer. I guess there's a correspondence to his view and those the incels, insofar as the incels are correct that one's fate is pretty much determined at one's birth--but that's not mainly a matter of looks. His pessimism can easily can become optimism, since the negative character of pleasure which he explicates can be conceived as the positive character of pain.

>The great nerds of history tended to socialize
Then they weren't alone and the man is coping in the OP

>>24843835
correct

>>24844873
>Shakespeare had a wife and children
Kek that's not what OP quote means retard, it has nothing to do with muh pussy
Fucking retarded incels jfc

God man you're a bunch of fucking normies.

he lost frame

>>24844876
When you socialize through the internet you're still literally alone. When surrounded by people, even friends you can still feel alone and disconnected.

>>24844891
Why can't these chuds understand that incel = male I dislike?

>>24843834
increase in incels? But why are they here and not on /V/

I am alone

It's really hard to be intellectually productive while having a wife and family. Anyone who is intellectually inclined knows this. I havent been able to read or write 20% of what I used to when I was single, after moving in with my gf. You only have so much time during the day, and if you're using it to take care of other people and give them attention, you're not using it for other things, like reading or doing philosophy. Or even just thinking and coming up with new ideas.

>>24844921
For one, Schopenhauer wasn't an incel. Two, there are many ways to be alone and they don't all necessitate not having sex by force of circumstance. Equating the isolation of intellect with being an incel, not communicating or having relations with other people, or physical isolation is brainlet reasoning and betrays that you've never felt what he was describing.

>>24843834
This 100%. /lit/ has become exponentially worse, probably due to the increase in zoomers who’ve never read a book in their life.

>>24844921
this

>>24845276
>yes you can be with other people, engage in relationships, socialize with others, belong in a community of peers and still be alone
Ok I'm going to say Shopencopen wasn't smart. Every example and thing he did that you think makes him smart? Actually doesn't count as being a genius.

>>24844967
Most "great" men with wives and children were away from home most of the day. But that's frowned upon in current year. You are expected to excel in your career but then also split the housework and childcare duties 50/50. And if you don't maintain the romance with your wife by having date nights once a week then your wife will cheat. All of these things are fine in themselves but you can't have both.

>>24845452
>Schopenhauer was dumb because of my own inability to understand or refusal to admit for the sake of extremely low quality shit posting that being alone is not strictly a physical state
Dang, you sure cooked Schooencopen, bruh. I guess we'll just have to revise the entire canon of Western philosophy because you're retarded.

>>24845754
Just organize better

>>24845754
so, it's actually just a skill issue?

>>24843856
Start taking estrogen

maybe it's true but that doesn't imply the inverse where being alone equals being great. e.g. i'm alone and a loser

>>24844967
>he can't read a book because he has a wife and kids
Are you retarded?
