What to heck, I got memed into reading this nigga, and its just the same New Age shit my gf spouts minus the astrology. >there's a spoopy underlying reality *wooo*(ghost sounds)>you are the thing you are trying to understand>compassion and art can free us from the Will>suffering comes from wanting thingsthe more I read the more it sounds like repackaged new age beliefs When does he get good?
You need to kill or atleast sterilize yourself and your girlfriend so that neither of you produce any offspring
>>25428073>getting filtered by the guy who went out of his way to be understandable and not overcomplicate his writing wew lad
>>25428083>>25428327Truth hurts.>>25428073If you take away their knowledge of language, history and stem sciences, you realise about 90% of philosophy is a waste of time. Any farmer from the Middle ages outshines these pseuds when it comes to understanding life and holding harder hunting truths and principles to live by. Just listen to scientists and specialists in their field and skip philosophy altogether.
>>25428073I love the first essay in Essays and Aphorisms where he talks about how our bodies enjoy pain more than pleasure because we have a far greater reaction to it
>>25428073Those who denounce Vishnu will be jam'd.
>>25428073You dumb motherfucker, new age came AFTER schoppy
>>25428471Lmao this guy UNIRONICALLY says >TRUST THE SCIENCE BRO!
>>25428471>just listening to the heckin' scientistsPhilosophy ain't for you, lil bro
>>25428073>>compassion and art can free us from the Will>>suffering comes from wanting thingsThis is 100% correct, though.>>the more I read the more it sounds like repackaged new age beliefsNew age bullshit came after Schopenhauer. It sounds that way to you because you're either more informed about new age shit due to your gf, or you're simply dishonest.>>When does he get good?He's already good. You're the one who needs to get good.
>>25428505>>25428509I'm saying DON'T listen to the math guy, historian, grammarian or physician when they speak on the big questions. Without this knowledge philosophists have no credibility so you're saying:"Listen to philosophy because these guys are hecking basedentists which means they have authority to speak on the purpose of life and the way to live it!". If all they did was philosophate in their room all day, people would rightfully dismiss their takes as some incel neet insanity and that's exactly what should happen now.
>>25428073>Memed into reading Schopenhauer >has a gfYou have made a likely correlation. Your gf is most likely in the delta bandwidth frequently. You may benefit from communicating your own delta driven thoughts, 2 delta's will eventually mesh if they don't mesh quickly. You won't be able to fake this, she will keep track of your thought changes, she may not use this against you but she may ignore you more in favor of one of her other contacts with a higher rate of frequency. There is some reason behind this but it's unlikely you will find out. You can probably even mention schope's views on women, she may even respond with some highly pessimistic views on men.>leave this place. Finish reading Schopenhauer if you wish to. If you don't want her pessimistic opinions then don't continue this line of thought.
>>25428604>so you're saying:"Listen to philosophy because these guys are hecking basedentists which means they have authority to speak on the purpose of life and the way to live it!"No, I'm not, and philosophy isn't just "the purpose of life" or whatever the fuck you're sperging about.
