Arthur Schopenhauer is the true Godfather of The Blackpill

[Deleted member 2047]

First of all, look at that subhuman face

On the value of life

“Human life must be some kind of mistake. The truth of this will be sufficiently obvious if we only remember that man is a compound of needs and necessities hard to satisfy; and that even when they are satisfied, all he obtains is a state of painlessness, where nothing remains to him but abandonment to boredom. This is direct proof that existence has no
real value in itself; for what is boredom but the feeling of the emptiness of life? If life—the craving for which is the very essence of our being—were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing.”

In “On the Sufferings of the World” (1851), Schopenhauer boldly claims: “Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim.” In other words, suffering and misfortune are the general rule in life, not the exception. Contradicting what many philosophers had stated previously, Schopenhauer argued that evil is a real thing, with good being the lack of evil. We can see this by considering that happiness or satisfaction always imply some state of pain or unhappiness being brought to an end; and by the fact that pleasure is not generally as pleasant as we expect, while pain much worse than imagined. To those who claim that pleasure outweighs pain or that the two balance out, he asks us “to compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is engaged in eating the other.” And he quickly follows with another powerful image: “We are like lambs in the field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who choose out first one and then another for his prey. So it is that in our good days we are all unconscious of the evil Fate may have in store for us—sickness, poverty, mutilation, loss of sight or reason.”


And of course, his feeling on women

Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.

He literally stops short of literally calling them femoids

It is only the man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual instinct that could give that stunted, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, and short-legged race the name of the fair sex; for the entire beauty of the sex is based on this instinct. One would be more justified in calling them the unaesthetic sex than the beautiful. Neither for music, nor for poetry, nor for fine art have they any real or true sense and susceptibility, and it is mere mockery on their part, in their desire to please, if they affect any such thing.

Arthur Schopenhauer was a timeless legend. He was blackpilled to the core, pessimistic to the core, antinatalist to the core, and should be required reading for incels.

I have a whole collection of quotables from the blackpill legend. Here are some of my other favorites besides the ones the OP quoted:

The vanity of women, even if it should not be greater than that of men, has this evil in it, that it is directed on material things—that is to say, on their personal beauty and then on tinsel, pomp, and show. This is why they are in their right element in society. This it is which makes them inclined to be extravagant, especially since they possess little reasoning power.

That the property which men have with difficulty acquired by long-continued struggling and hard work should afterwards come into the hands of women, who, in their want of reason, either squander it within a short time or otherwise waste it, is an injustice as great as it is common, and it should be prevented by limiting the right of women to inherit.

The false position of the female sex, so conspicuously exposed by the existence of the “lady,” is a fundamental defect in our social condition, and this defect, proceeding from the very heart of it, must extend its harmful influence in every direction.

Whilst a man will, as a general rule, always preserve a certain amount of consideration and humanity in speaking to others, even to those who are in a very inferior position, it is intolerable to see how proudly and disdainfully a fine lady will generally behave towards one who is in a lower social rank.

And you cannot expect anything else of women if you consider that the most distinguished intellects among the whole sex have never managed to produce a single achievement in the fine arts that is really great, genuine, and original; or given to the world any work of permanent value in any sphere.

They are sexus sequior, the inferior second sex in every respect: one should be indulgent toward their weaknesses, but to pay them honour is ridiculous beyond measure and demeans us even in their eyes.

It is questionable whether women ought to be allowed to take an oath at all.

Marrying means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone.

If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence?

A quick test of the assertion that enjoyment outweighs pain in this world, or that they are at any rate balanced, would be to compare the feelings of an animal engaged in eating another with those of the animal being eaten.

Life is a perpetual struggle, accompanied by the certainty of being defeated.

Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.

nature has chosen the young, strong, and handsome men, so that the race shall not degenerate.

because they are aware that in violating their duty to the individual they are all better fulfilling their duty to the species, whose rights are incomparably greater.

By that he means that when humans lived in rainforests, only the alpha male (chad) used to breed. (as is the case with every sexually dimorphic species)

This means that while they are aware they are cucking their own husbands, they would prefer to fulfill their original role which is to bear the kids of the most attractive male.

Yes, but the peculiar thing is that he's defending their debauchery and calling it righteous because of their supposed "duty to the species", while saying that men that doesn't go along with it are bad. As if women's sexual selection is some flawless evolutionary trait that never should be challenged.

 

[speedtypingincel]

It IS flawless, they are selecting the tallest, best-looking men to pass on their genetics.

The problem with this is that this method of passing on genetics doesn't help "civilization", it's just making us come back to the way we were 70k years ago.

 

[BodyFat10orRope]

"If life—the craving for which is the very essence of our being—were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing."

Maybe those who are satisfied with mere existence don't strive for anything, they're happy just living in dirt. They get wiped out by humans who are never satisfied. Who always want more, more power, more wealth, more discoveries and interests to escape boredom. Those who have too much of this trait, unable to be satisfied, commit suicide.

Either way it looks bad for existence.

 

[misanthropekun]

He was a lolicel but failed even after richmaxxing.

1831: Living in Berlin, Schopenhauer thinks once again of getting married. He turns his attentions to Flora Weiss, a beautiful, spirited girl who has just turned 17. During a boating party, in an attempt to charm her, he smiles and offers her a bunch of white grapes. Flora later confides in her diary: "I didn't want them. I felt revolted because old Schopenhauer had touched them, and so I let them slide, quite gently, into the water behind me." Schopenhauer leaves Berlin in a hurry. "Life has no genuine intrinsic worth, but is kept in motion merely by want and illusion."

He was 43 by then

He obviously swallowed the black pill.

You need to believe in an higher order otherwise on what grounds do you think you have a right to try to put a leash on the physical world?

If you don't believe in a "transcendent" God (not a pantheistic one) and if you think the law of the jungle is the only rule there is why even bother pretending you can win against that?

I think of him and Cioran as an alternative version of escortcels but Cioran had chadlite tier looks compared to him tbh, I still admire him for not making use of them to create more suffering. I wonder if Schope would had become the first parent to care about children for real and write about it if any of the lolis he liked married him...or maybe he wouldn't have kids even then

If you want a truecel read Caraco

the only girl he ever went out with was his mother.

JFL at how times change. Imagine foids having sex with you in the modern West simply because you’re intelligent.

So unless you think civilization=bad and pre historic human=good, you would agree that it has been very flawed since the advent of civilization.

If you don't believe in a "transcendent" God (not a pantheistic one) and if you think the law of the jungle is the only rule there is why even bother pretending you can win against that?

What grounds? Your will, your own biological instincts, if anything not believing in any higher order than yourself gives you the perfect right to do so because then all you have are your own primal urges and why shouldn't you satisfy them?

The law of the jungle is as much killing and raping foids, thus violating Schopenhauer's alleged duty to the specie, as it is cucking and enslaving sub8 men.

 

[SingaporeCel]

Schopenhauer also says Chad can't escape suffering (The world as will and representation Vol.1, page 314):

But whatever nature and good fortune may have done, whoever a person may be and whatever he may possess, the pain essential to life cannot be thrown off:

"Peleus' son was wailing and lamenting, looking up to the broad heaven." [Iliad, xxi, 272]

and again:

"I was the son of Zeus, of Kronos, and yet I endured unspeakable afflictions." [Odyssey, xi, 620]

In case you missed it, this thread was stickied at the top of the forum for a while. Hopefully it resulted in some people being introduced to Schopenhauer's philosophy that weren't already familiar with it.
