Sounds like something we're experiencing in the political world right now. Schopenhauer is new to me but always loved philosophy.

You're making my ethics class way easier thank you man!

Looks like the world wasn’t full of caffeine and stimulants back then

The problem with monarchy is there are not enough monarchs. The ideal society would have millions of kings.

It will always catch up with the worldly knowledgeable fortunates in one clear way or another unforseen way . Be oneself instead is a course often overlooked through generations but always fortunes hindsight of maxim length.

Schopenhauer should be required reading for anyone who needs to understand just how dark human beings are capable of being.

You're the best, as usual. Thank you!

Thank you

Keep doing these videos. Thnx!

As a retired newspaper cartoonist I was paid to be an idiot. Fun reading of A.S. Insights.

Schopenhauer is one of the greatest philosophers in history

2:35 I love your channel and your audience, I'm gonna comment on ALL your videos for years until I reach your level of subscribers.

Rested 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol

Thank you for your commentary.

Anger and hatred are poisons that separate us from God. Only God can provide us with guidance to checkmate who ought to be checkmated. Let God decide who gets toasted or not toasted.

Since I have found your work, I have found wisdom, professionalism, and truth from Father Arthur Schopenhauer using your skills and knowledge. Your work will be as good as that of Robert Grave "I Claudius".

This is very interesting.

I must say that your way of reading an excerpt and the discussing it, is really interesting. So interesting in fact that I am thinking of buying this book

This is a great video regarding Schopenhauer’s truthful and enlightening maxims about his a great portion of society friend and envies those of superior intellect. I recall my mentor having advised me to never date a man is inferior intellect after I he expresses my sheer frustration of either having been dumped, or not noticed by some of the guys I was interested in. I had noticed this ghastly pattern that men will very rarely choose a woman whom is of greater, or even equal intelligence as a life long partner.

This showing of your intellect or capacity for thought, is specially seen (and dangerous) in situation where there are VERY MARKED power positions, like in classrooms, work situations, gyms. The student shows the teacher to be mediocre or less informed etc, and he gets a failing grade, and is badgered the whole time, even to the point that the "teacher" discourages him harshly from ever DISAGREEING, let alone unintentionally exposing, a falsehood or wrong result or way of thinking. The resentment coming from that experience is long lasting, and thus I claim that in the brain/mind area, there is no other profession who does more permanent harm to the children and young adults with drive and smarts, than "teachers" (such an oxymoron!!). Except that those results can't be seen until much later, unlike bad doctors, or engineers, for example. The student has to adopt a false personality and lower his expectations so much, and change his habits and character so much, that it does permanent damage to the person. Most professors and teachers are NOT like the man in this video, at level of scholarship or personality or even capacity; most are incredibly inept and ill prepared, most have NEVER read a single book since graduating from "education" in College. Further most have never read a single book cover to cover ever, period (I make it a point to ask them each time I have the occasion to talk to them, not challenging, but indirectly). Dream Killers I have come to mentally think of them, because what else what they do be called?? The exceptions make this FACT all the more visible. It seems to me that if a student overcomes this prevalent situation, it is not because of the teacher but IN SPITE OF HIM or her. In the area of health, incredibly it is NOT the doctors who do the most damage, but also the teachers ---- ill prepared in that are of physiology and nutrition. Along with those same teachers, in close second place, the proliferations of weekend degree physical "trainers" and nutritionists in all gyms or sports (though most four year "physical eduction" grads are not much better). They hurt more people, more permanently, physically, than they help, though hurting is not necessarily bad IF you get the huge benefit of it later, which never comes. They don't know proper technique or form, proper KINDS of foods to eat, proper amounts, and they complicate it so much that they confuse people in the negative, what should be logical and a lot simpler, to explain and to act upon. Nutrition is not an exact science, like "psychology, and thus it leaves a lot of room for charlatans and other such hacks to infiltrate it, like Jordan Peterson, Deepak Chopra, and the thousands of "nutrition doctors" in the internet, with voodoo word salads to explain and enrich themselves, many use the still unsolved area of quantum mechanics vocabulary to do so. The clump the huge weekend certified trainers and nutritionists, with "teachers" , a sub set, since it is their job to teach in the physical body, in gyms and schools, and basic internal nutrition fields. Thanks if you read this far... I know I ranted.

I bet this settles, (sits?) well with the lower intellects coming from a professor with lots of books, apparently read AND THOUGHT ABOUT, behind him. My main issue (though not a big one) is that intellect as such is more recognized than described, more exposed than defined.... for what exactly is "intellect"? Exactly. Reminds me of the supreme court definition in a case on obscenity, "I'll know it when I see it" and in this case when I hear it. But what can we say MORE about intellect, than this philosopher has said already, about the people who will not or cannot recognize intellect when they hear it or see it in the others' actions?? Are there people who feel themselves "smart or intellectual" but are not?? We see it all the time, so...

So god

2:03 I hate your channel and your audience, I'm gonna comment on ALL your videos for years until someone replies to me!

Are you really trying hard, when sometimes you’re just angry? Anger can be the naked truth. . .just saying stuff. . .sometimes, I just intend to express anger, nothing else.

I don’t think Schopenhauer is telling us what to do here, at times. I’m not sure he’s telling us, don’t blame outside forces. He’s telling us the way things are. In fact, he might be arguing against the idea of blaming ourselves.

This is the most important section to me.

Thanks for your channel! The kind of content I needed, no click bait, no words from sponsors or such. Great job!

I am grateful and pleased with your channel. Thank you.

These are great insights. Very useful for dealing with the people in my area that are extreme Trump worshipping fools forcing the rhetoric upon me. I also liked the the counsel regarding how the intellectual is despised among the rabble. Ive been dealing with these affronts for 8 years now. The MAGA phenomenon has made me into a pariah in my native lands because I will not submit to their astounding disregard for reason. Just imagine what Schopenhaur would think of these current times.
