extra stout posted:Depression is a needless state of mind, a side effect from under eating most people could treat if they truly wanted to. If they knew which macro and micro nutrients they are missing. If they had the B12. The Bone Broth. A pretty popular theory these days is that depression was adaptive in the ancestral environment.

I read some schopenhauer like 20 years ago, but I don't remember none of it. i vaguely remember something about "the will vs appearance" or something like that. I could be way off on that though. Maybe it was "the will vs the world"? Maybe "the will" wasn't part of it at all. Maybe I'm mixing it up with neitzchie's (I know I misspelled that, but I'm not going to google it) "the will to power". Although, IIRC, neitzchie was into schopenhauer, but was critical of him, and "the will to power" was a critique of schop that he extended into it's own philosophy. Or maybe I'm getting "the will vs blank" from a book by some other philosopher whose name I can't remember (17 years of xanax use will gently caress you're memory). The other philosopher was an early existentialist I think. Kirkegaard (I know I misspelled his name, but I'll be damned if I'm going to google it) maybe? Anyways, the only thing I remember from schopenhauer was thinking that his idea of "the will" actually maps onto evolution by natural selection pretty well, but that schopenhauer presaged a lot of ideas from evolution (or at least evolutionary psychology ((which is problematic, but unfairly maligned)). But, come to think of it, I don't know whether schopenhauer wrote his stuff before or after Darwin. When did schopenhauer write his stuff. Anyways, please answer all the questions in this post OP. Or, if not you, that other guy in GBS who knows a lot about philosophy. I can't remember that guy's name either. drat xanax.

a lot of the german philosophers at around that time were influenced by darwin. there was a broadly new (romantic) interest in how the universe could be understood organically and dynamically rather than (enlightenment) mechanistically and statically.

COMRADES posted:Anguish and despair are not horrible accidents but built into the structure of life itself. The problem with describing life and human condition with words alluding to imprisonment and forcibly removed choice is the idea that there was a choice to begin with. Life is, and any opinion on how things ought to be is human arrogance and delusion. If you wake up in a hospital from some unexpected life threatening event, you shouldn't attack the doctors for not making you immortal.

Continental philosophy is mostly bonkers and nonsensical and I don't think that's just the goofy translations. Imagine how sad your life must be to devote it all to writing big important books that only other grim, mildewed academics will be able to read and even they will probably misinterpret.

quote:The ultimate pessimist, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) viewed reality as a malicious trap, believing we live in the worst of all possible worlds. A notorious misogynist, Schopenhauer once pushed a woman down a flight of stairs. Grudgingly, he paid her regular restitution for her injuries until her death, when he recorded in his journal, “The old woman dies, the burden is lifted.”

Well that's dumb what an idiot. Easily disproven: imagine a universe exactly as it is now except every 6 hours like clockwork someone farts in your face. Bad ones, too. For a notorious pessimist "it can always get worse" didn't resonate with him?

Shopenhauer is a great source for clever profound quotes, reading him is pain though (heh). And yeah, if OP bothered to read instead of watching youtube videos like a silly boy he'd know that its not that dark and edgy.

People keep a dog and are ruled by this dog, and even Schopenhauer was ruled in the end not by his head, but by his dog. This fact is more depressing than any other.

Tbh, I respect the honest revolutionaries way more than people like Kant and Nietzsche who spent their whole lives in university libraries transcribing the noises their farts made.

It covers like 10 famous philosophies and their views on happiness. Not very in depth though, only gives a chapter to each philosophy or whatever.

I read this and I was surprised by how happy and upbeat the ending was. After all that super-depressing reasoning, he concludes that we should treat our fellow human beings nicely because they are fellow sufferers.  I didn't expect that from this dude. Also ditto about them not having video games in his day. Our modern day hedonism is off the chain! His point of view needs to be revised since the lucky few with enough money can insulate themselves from suffering like a loving airlock and stuff their lives with more amusements than they have time to consume.

What good are your video games going to do you when you're 70 years old and living in a crooked nursing home and suffering from dementia and arthritis?

I said, "the lucky few with enough money," and I wasn't referring to myself. When I'm 70, we'll be living in the cyberpunk dystopia. There will be only the rich and the poor. The rich can insulate themselves from suffering better than the rest of us. They will have the best medical care and the best amusements. Also, I didn't mean video games alone; I meant all the hedonism we have now that they didn't back then. A lot of 70 year olds take boner pills nowadays and continue to be sex fiends, for instance. I think Shopenhauer's dark world view will still apply to most people, but the lucky few with enough resources will be able to min/max their suffering/pleasure ratio enough to contradict his philosophy. Life will definitely still suck for me at 70 no matter how many rad video games I have.

For a good time, read his essay on women. I also enjoy his essay on noise, where he whines and bitches about the filthy poors making too much noise cracking whips down in the street below him, interrupting his genius intellect at work.
