      It's fascinating how we all arrive at such different conclusions. I've always had practically the opposite opinion of Schopenhauer.
      He's always seemed (to me) to be far too convinced of the perfection of his own wisdom. He is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Socrates, who was only convinced of his own ignorance and limitations.
      I think the Socratic position is vastly superior, both rationally and morally.

    “The cure for boredom is the development of the intellect- the wealth of the mind. Nothing pleasures the mind so much as the contemplation of ideas. To the great mind, ideas never run out and so the pleasure gained is infinite. While others have to distract themselves from their boring environments. An intelligent mind will simply turn to itself and delight in it's own thoughts. The greatest intellects concern themselves with poetry and philosophy- Art forms that are not dependent upon the will or the body but the intellect.”

      This is how as a child I learned to be alone and content, so many possibilities. It's how, despite having ADHD, I could keep mostly quiet. Unfortunately I became too quiet and engulfed in my own thoughts, which reduced my affinity for socialising, thankfully I still made an attempt to observe social behaviour so that I didn't end up oblivious to it.

    I am 42, did everything a human does from 15 to 40, had many friends that loved my dry sense of humor, drank a lot, had a long term relationship, since the pandemic started and social distancing was instaured as a norm, I cut off all social life, and recently ended my relationship just because the other person doesn't understand why not socializacing is important to me right now, never been more relaxed, never had more money, and never been more in peace with what I am. I knew Schopenhauer since a long time ago but never really took his philosophy so personally. Noise in public is something I can't tolearte either, and having internal conversations is something I have been doing since I was a child, right now I am starting to reconnect with playing guitar, as a painter and motiongraphics artist, most people will never understand why being alone is so important.

      You are still too young, I know relationships are important when we are growing up, but with time we start learning that our mental health improves when we don't have to deal with relationships, well at least is what I personally think, and as it's my perception of reality it is completely subjective, releationships are important to a certain degree, but to spend all the time with someone and that your well being depends on that person is not healthy. Take your time to expand your knowledge, to enjoy the things you enjoy alone, and if someone appears take the chance, but that person shouldn't mean life for you. I am personally not interested in having a partner right now and I think will not in the future, it's time consuming and sometimes carries more problems than rewards. Best regards my friend stay strong! Cheers!!!

    Schopenhauer through his seeking and ability for contemplation came to practice a way of life that gave him happiness. So it seems that he is not justifying his "personality" but clarifying the path that led him from pessimism to peace.

    "Title text here"an example of how suffering can creep completely unexpected in the most pleasurable moments of life, like watching your awesome video on one of the most difficult philosophers out there. Kidding aside, keep up the good work!
    I would argue with schopenhauer that to isolate to oneself to focus on ideas is a contradiction, since ideas are only learned through representations, objects, patterns, in the material world, chatting with people genius and simple about their daily life and philosophy; this seems like a more complete, faster and more rewarding experience, fulfilling both the need of the logical and emotional mind or conciousness.

      Politics is a tricky one cause yes, on one hand it effects our lives in a major way but is also so painfully corrupt that discourse among the people will have little effect on the outcome since so few people care. I believe it's important to be aware of what is going on in the political sphere but talking about it with others feels like pulling teeth especially with the "unenlightened".

    The ideas of this philosopher really struck me hard. Even though, this is the first time I heard of this guy, I see many similarities with him, like walking for a couple of hours everyday. And I believe being a teacher and married to my profession is somehow aligned on his thought of pursuing what I love the most, teaching. My students learn from me, I learn from them. Though, I am the nutcase of the faculty for being eerily silent at one time, then being loud afterwards when something picked my interest.

    Great video. I don’t think he said isolation leads to happiness as an excuse. It is truth. For even you start seeing miseries and insecurities people impose on themselves and on you, if you start becoming aware of it, it bothers you to the degree it’s Moore pain than pleasure to be around them. Best is if you get lucky to have some highly self aware intellect people around you and enjoy than fine wine and good food together.

  • @GameOfLife55

    Great video, thank you so much for the insights and the great content overall.
    Schopenhauer says you have to avoid pain and boredom but the thing is the second you start trying to avoid boredom (by developing your intellect as he states) you are automatically again trying to escape pain.
    Personally I came recently to the conclusion that pain is the essence of the game of life because it drives it forward, otherwise it will just stop. If you want to enjoy the game of life you have to embrace pain (the one that is in harmony with your character) and actually seek it. The biggest source of misery in my opinion is when you start trying to avoid pain at all costs, seeking refuge in "pain killers". For example when you turn to alcohol or drugs to avoid feeling hurt from a certain situation or to forget that you have to work towards something where you are scared you might fail.
    But then again one might think why do I have to play this game where pain is at the heart of it ? Well that's a good point but why would you think that not existing is better than existing ? the nothing state sounds pretty boring to me and if found myself here I might as well just play the game. At the end of the day, I do believe nothing really matters. Everything is just a manifestation of nothing.

From the into to the last word, I sit , slack jawed as though the back if my head was opened up and spilled 59 years of tangled mess, and a happen chance video on TH-cam (this video) combed it all out like flipping a tapestry to reveal the beauty on the other side of what once looked absolutely confusing.

    No, he's not just justifying his own behavior (well, maybe with the cold shower business he is). High IQ people generally do like solitude far more and for the reasons Schopenhauer states: the average person cannot keep up and, further, is not even interested in pursuits like philosophy.
    I often see people even get outright offended when I bring up a philosophical point or topic, as if I've bored them or insulted their intelligence just by bringing it up. This sort of behavior gets old. There's little enjoyment to be found in other people for the philosopher and thus he rather spend time with books or his own pen.

    I think that Schopenhauer's habits did have an impact on what he suggests for a happy life, though I can agree with most of what he says.

    Unsolicited opinion/suggested edit😄:
    21:50 self-knowledge & acceptance*
    'Self-esteem' is a motivational/self-help myth. As you said, you are confident because you already have seen (come to know) & accepted that you play the piano well. It isn't 'confidence'; it's certainty.

    I would reach happiness about 20 years ago, after a life of being very unhappy, and now can't find anything wrong with what Schopenhauer said on the subject. Except maybe the cold showers. One must be healthy though. Invest in health and intellect, free time to express and evolve knowledge. I never cared about fame, but I do care about the fruits of my labors in the intellect.

      To me fame is repellent. I dislike attention. When people especially men showing attention or trying to get my attention it annoys me so much. I like being alone and anonymous. I live pretty ascetic life too. So far works well. I love Schopenhauer, all he said is 100% true.

    I would have thought Schopenhauer unimpressed by empty flattery from humans.
    I haven't studied AS in great depth but in my opinion he is often on target in his observations of human nature.

    "...fame and youth are too much for a mortal at one and the same time" . Social media "influencers" are chilling reminders of what will happen to people, especially youths who get famous while bringing no benefit to their society. These people will even use tragedies as long as they bring them clouts and money.
