I can safely say that reading Schopenhauer has been the worst mistake of my life...

This. I'm getting real sick of your fucking histrionic shit, Kierkegaard

>just read another fucking philosopher and realize how delusional Schopenhauer is
schopenhauer isn't delusional or depressing in itself
what schopenhauer did was to complete metaphysics, which itself gives us an understanding of the universe, out of which, the realization, along with the death of god, that nothing lasts forever and that oblivion awaits everything in the universe
schopenhauer, out from this, coupled with the human drives which he and every single other human are subject to, he was led to some pretty depressive and grim solutions and answers, like asceticism, which he himself never managed to fully practice, only preached

Take the Taopill or the Absurdpill, either works fine.

Schopenhauer can seem much more dark than he really is if his entire philosophy isn't considered when trying to digest some of his darker passages. It would be analogous to stepping into the middle of a surgery for the first time with no prior knowledge or preconceptions of what surgery is. In fact the patient is (hopefully) being healed by the procedure, but from an objective glance, horrifyingly, men in masks with blood on their hands are cutting into a seemingly lifeless human. If the whole is taken into account, the objective and horrifying glance dissolves into a positive understanding of that which is ugly in some of its parts. It's necessary to go deep and ugly to understand and fix deep and ugly problems. As this the work you've read an excerpt his Parerga, I'd suggest you go deeper to find the light and free yourself from the bondage of your current feelings and mental state. Read the entire work, but before anything, read The Will as World and Representation/Idea in its entirety. This is the foundation of Schopenhauer's philosophy that he builds upon and critiques where Kant left off with metaphysical idealism. Doing this should throw some light on your mind and world view once you fully comprehend it. Although the world can be dark, depressing and ugly, that's only one aspect of the will. Pierce the veil of the principium individuationis. Best wishes, user.

Seriously, just don't take Schopenhauer's advice. He will tell you to become isolated instead of talking to others, he will tell you to not care about people and other things, and that intelligence and health are the only things that matter in this life and nothing else exists. Basically he will say that your worth is that of your intelligence and genius and the only effect this will have on you will be to make you more depressed because you will always know you won't ever be a genius or influence the World in any way. How many people get to become Einsteins or Newtons? Not many. And so you'll never be happy because you'll never achieve their levels of abstraction and you'll have a very low self-esteem. Also, his advices on health might turn you into a fucking hypochondriac.

same as one reply above except just way more full of himself
stop stealing answers and come up with something yourself?

>that intelligence and health are the only things that matter in this life and nothing else exists
Swap intelligence for money and he's pretty much undeniably spot on. Health, yeah man that's so underratedly important we don't see it because we're young but once our bodies start aching you feel so fucking bad.

fuck do something
sit down with alcohol, a razor blade, nail cutter and start working at it carefully
also, file your toenails
once they are thinner, they are softer and easier to work with

lazy retard

He turned me into a solitary hypochondriac who got into despair one day and self-medicated. I took a heart medication when I didn't need it and fainted and since then have had chest pain/high blood pressure. Schopenhauer kept tacitly saying "Isolate yourself" and "Brood over your health" and then one day I did something stupid and I took a heart medication that just fucked my cardiovascular system and now I'm stuck with high blood pressure. Schopenhauer ruined my life.

I was being sincere, user. They're two different answers on the same topic. Please critique and address your issues directly or contribute to the conversation.

I would say read Evola to cure that, but it seems that everyone leads to depression in the end.

I guess the best way is to accept the tragedy of life, and try to live a heroic life in it

I will for sure though if anyone in your family ever had them you'd know this is a recurring problem that partly develops due to gait problems which partly develop due to spine abnormalities. It's not just improper trimming or bad shoewear It's all connected in your body and as you age it only gets worse, I guess this should be accepted as normal aging I just didn't expect it this soon I'm barely a boomer fuck.

I know how ironic my post was, I seemed like an imbecile switching intelligence for money yet looked like a retard too lazy to work on his foot but no man intelligence doesn't fix shit genetics and decades of bad habits. I'm just very sad what little health I had seems to be decaying, this should be reserved for actual boomers fuck man.

>I took a heart medication when I didn't need it
Prescription med I suppose, how the fuck did your doctor let it happen? I know psychs hand pills like crazy but not cardiologists. Sue that fucker and try to gain something out of it?

g o o d dubs
>yesh

LOL
that's hilarious OP. ok so, long story short truth is eternal, and it is there even if you have found yourself in an objective structure that suffocates the life force impetus
try reading some plato-symposium, or nietzsche-use and abuse of history.
superceding this (as the two above are only articulations), go to whatever draws you(personally) in, like a moth to the flame. whatever avenue in life that we pursue is what we become. we have very high aspirations in our hearts if we are sensitive to them, then we can become very high quality people. this is a rare thing, and valuable.

asimov-end of eternity,

but is he wrong though user?

If you think Schopenhauer is bad, read Ligotti's Conspiracy against the Human Race
Omni-Suifuel

>he fell for the Schopi meme
no one to blame but your pseud ass

That's why I don't strictly adhere to his ideas. I think the main point was to be your own one-man tribe, since normalscum tend to do it too. That way it makes up for the emptiness, in my opinion.

Cope enhaur is a fraud and a white male.

Well i know what im going to read.

Reading Schopenhauer didn't make this lad depressed, it turned him into a boddhisatva-king.

What I don't understand is you going by the name of Kierkegaard then. Schopenhauer actually helped me reducing the damage Kierkegaard did to my sanity.

You're blaming schop for you being a fucking dumbass?

If this is the result of his writings effect on you, then you may have missed the point.

Have you tried simply having a higher iq?

I read Eagles Lofty Solitude in college and stopped socializing after that.
Guess it works?

Kierkegaard looks like Jackson and I fucking hate banks and Indians.

Evola can still be quite dark and depressing if you come to the realization that we're living in an eternal cycle of decadence and brutal struggle especially since we're in the darkest part of that cycle with no signs of it ending soon.
I agree though that robots with stronger minds should study schopenhauer, nietzsche and evola. Essentially a sect of ascetic left hand path monks who reject the modern world could be formed.
