We already have bringed to this channel the philosophers that are more distinguished in the philosophical branch.
Rene, Diogenes, Aristotle, Plato, Kant.
That perform a key thought in the differents possibles spectrums of Philosophy.
Such as Materialism, Cynicism, Absolutism, Hedonism and Nihilism.
But they were not all of it.
So, is there someone else to tell us something relevant?
I introduce you to Schopenhauer:
The Philosopher of Pessimism.
His way of thinking was based on Kant's way of thinking.
Which would be a thought on a deformed thought in a curdled thought,
not grey, but black and white at the same time
So "Rancid" as this channel
But does his pessimism contradicts itself?
Does it have coherence all that Arthur Schopenhauer says?
All this questions will be answered.
But I warn you that all you'll see from now on it's not suitable for sensitive people.
Because all said here is a "self help" for suicidal people.
Something that if you study it closely, you could end up alive.
So grab yourself to something and pay attention to the first one on this series called:
Dark Genius: Schopenhauer.
Arthur Schopenhauer was born in a bourgeois family the 22 of february of 1788, in Danzig,
which in that time would be "The Kingdom of Prusia".
His father, Heinrish Floris Schopenhauer, was a prosperous merchant
that pretended that his son would follow his profession
Because of that, he made him travel around France and England
to make him learn how the commerce worked as an business assistent.
But by the year 1805, his father dies.
It is presumed that he killed himself.
considering the love of this Philosopher to him
maybe... his Pessimist Vision of existence starts here.
His mother, was very interested in the cultural world
and although she didn't succeeded as a writer
she excelled herself for her the meetings of intellectuals that she organized in Weimar
her city of residence after he became a widow.
Arthur never really got along with her.
He was too introverted and reserved.
By contrast, her mother was extroverted and social
The conflict was inevitable.
Maybe here starts his hate towards women.
Once he said: Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
Even though that, thanks to his progenitor, he could meet most of the cultural characters of the moment.
Among them is Goethe, who will read and praise his doctoral thesis of "the quadruple root of the principle of sufficient reason".
In Weimar, he also meets the orientalist Friedrich Majer.
that will become very important for the development of his way of thinking,
because he will give him basic texts of the Hindi philosophy, the Brahamanics and the Budists.
When combining this knowledge with the previous ones learned from Plato and Kant
he forged the keys to write outstanding works such as: 
"The World as Will and Representation"
And some others, more curious like:
"The Art of always being right"
Basically, to Schopenhauer, life is shit, and nothing can change reality.
This Happy conclusion, oposses the prevailing optimism of the time when he started developing his so aclaimed prose.
Friedrich Hegel, a german colleague, developed a philosophy that went along with the "German Idealism".
and feed the burgeois aspirations of that time
not according with this, Schopenhauer opossed to the romanticism, when still was an important current.
To give form to his stance, he used despective phrases, to disarm his opponents.
"Man is the only animal which causes pain to others with no other object than causing pain."
"The person who writes to fools, is always sure of having a large audience."
"Religions are like Fireflies. They need darkness to shine."
"Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think."
"Every nation mocks other nations. And all are right." 
"Friends and acquaintances are the best Passport to fortune"
"Opinion is like a pendulum, it obeys the same law."
"Men need some kind of external activity, because they are inactive within." 
His friendly attitude helped him to make good friends with the intellectuality of the moment.
But he wasn't better than the shoemaker of the neighborhood
Spite of that, he created a philosophy which contains a stance that matches in our rules,
like two pieces of a puzzle, nourishing from the classics like Plato, Espinoza and the Buddhist writings.
However, with his school of thought, he only gained the despise of his students
and he become the enemy of the newspaper writers.
The reality was tha Schopenhauer was that intelectual teacher that you hate so much
and never let you go to the bathroom to prevent you to discern the thought of Rene in the toilette.
In his book "The world as Will and Representation", he claims that: "The basis of all willing is need, lack, and hence pain, 
and by its very nature and origin it is therefore destined to pain.
If, on the other hand, it lacks objects of willing, because it is at once deprived of them again by too easy a satisfaction,
a fearful emptiness and boredom comes over it; in other words, its being and its existence itself becomes 
an intolerable burden for it. Hence life swings like pendulum swings between pain and boredom,
 and these two are in fact it has ultimate constituents.”
Schopenhauer claims that "The will of living", the great enemy, appears in the world of nature,
in the continuous fight of the living beings for living.
"And to this world, to this scene of tormented and agonised beings, who only continue to exist by devouring each other."
"The real, the truly real, it only can be found inside of us.
Because of that, everyone wants the darkness for itself, they want to posses or at least dominate it 
and if it resist, he wants to deny it.
Every small individual is reduced to nothing in this ilimited world,
however it becomes his center and keeps in mind his existence and the well-being above all others.
This way of feeling is the essencial selfishness to everything in nature.
This is the terrible manifestation of the internal conflict of the will with itself.
The fight of every individual , the expression of the contradiction that affects the will of living inside itself."
Basically, whatever we do, whatever we think, every way of thinking is a different form of suffering.
According to Schope.
"His Thoughts" 
All the universe is made of something called: "WILL"
With capital letters.
An idea related to the Buddhist idea of the "Universal Spirit" that permeates everything.
The will is the ultimate bottom of reality,
and it is not limited by the "Space", "Time" or "Causality".
Several times he validates this concept of "Will of living"
because it is what impulses all the "Transient phenomena"
Now, how do we know the constancy that the "WILL" actually exist?
Cause this problem of his existence, or not, is what moved a great part of Philosophy until kant arrived.
The Great Rockstar of the modern Philosophy.
And he told us that it is impossible to know something because we are trapped in our own heads.
However, although what has been said about Kant,
and despite he was one of the masters of the pessimist before us,
This last one makes a difference
That is, no matter how much you believe that the decision of falling in love
is the most original event that ever happened in your tiny existence,
in fact it's just the "WILL" manifesting itself in the representation of your world.
One more repetition of the same reason that has been repeating itself  from the beginning
of the Universe, but with different names... and colors.
Of this way, the abolition of every being, is the expression of that "Spirit" that 
that is beyond Space and Time.
And now, how can we know that this "WILL" is always the same and never changes 
if it's manifestations are always multiples and changing
I know that you must feel really clever because you thought this question before I asked it,
but Schopenhauer answered it before you even thought it.
The key is in our capacity to create concepts.
Although our experience varies constantly, from it we can distangle concepts
some more universal than others, because in the multiplicity we discern correspondence
and this takes us to the deep units that, in the end, results in the "WILL".
So, you didn't see that coming.
The true conflict appears when we can't satisfy those needs of reafirmation, because it's obstacles,
which means other manifestations of the "WILL" 
In his aspiration to satisfy reafirmation, it frustrates our desires
this bring us HATE
RESENTMENT
and PAIN :(
Which makes that in every happiness, there are multiple sadness
And that every satisfaction includes diverse frustrations.
Even if we could satisfy all of our impulses, the problem would not be solved.
Making a mental exercise, because it is impossible that one individual that could accomplish all his aspirations
the only thing that would remain, it would be an overwhelming boredom
we can confirm this when we discover that after a satisfaction, we don't have an instant impulse
we fall in boredom. 
We desire in despair to a person, but later when we have it, we get bored inevitably
The true solution resides in our consciousness and the possibility of detaching ourselves out of the urgent need
of satisfy our desires of reaffirmation
It's true that we always will have to comply our primary needs to keep us alive
but there is a large stretch from that to succumb to every desire
Even more, one individual could continue his life, assisting it from a certain distance
not assisting it in a personal way, but as a distant observer 
freed from all immediate needs
this way, the people that participate in our lives, we will find not allies or enemies,
not the people that we must love or hate
but the beings that are subjugated by the force of "WILL".
So when you see someone something savage or taking advantage of other people
you will not discover some Devil or Evil Genius , but a tiny and miserable being
that is guided by the lowest pulsations of existence to repeat one more time, something that happened millions
of times and that will invetably lead to PAIN
The "WILL" is eternal and looks to satisfy itself countless times
that means, PAIN is eternal too
At last, for the privileged minds that have accomplished the detachment from the pressures of the "WILL" 
Schopenhauer, also recommends to cultivate Meditation and Art Apreciation.
This last one, especially music, is a useful tool to understand that you only have to enjoy 
the representation, without succumb to the eternal volitional spiral.
The Art, a product from human consciousness that wants to repressent and break free from reason
is the way that the humans detach from the logic and reason for a while,
that is no more than a tool to achieve te desires of the "WILL".
In this way, elevates consciousness and it let us to assist life as an skeptical viewer
interested in understanding and distancing from the "Fire Spiral" that consumes everything
and reborning, only to suffer again
"POSSIBLE CONTRADICTIONS"
Now probably, at this point, you are probably thinking in two things:
1) That the guy is not very nice.
2) And that you don't know the bases of his thoughts.
Well, the Philosophical current of Arthur Schopenhauer, is what is known as "Metaphysical Voluntarism"
Which covers all previously mentioned
Here we have a flagrant contradiction
While the "WILL" is always one and the same, it's manifestations are varied and multiple
This would bother particularly to the rationalist minds that wanted to find coherence through the theory.
But "Coherence is the virtue of short minds"
Anyway, there is an explanation.
What happens is that the "WILL", that element that permeates the elements of existence is not a 
manifestation of the universal coherence. Or a kind God that look out for the good of his beings
And surely not an expression of the ideal rationality.
The "WILL" is the non-rational and blind Spirit that looks to affirm itself countless times.
Thus, It's manifestations will keep in the deep of his being, that character.
The representation of "THE WILL" It's atacched to Causality, Time and Space principles 
because it is only a manifestation. But deep in his being, the blind irrational reaffirmation principle pounds.
In the other hand, every representation keeps the ilusion of being individual and independent of the others.
Because of that, it wants to devour the others in order to satisfy it's deepest desires of preservation.
But the true Pessimist detail comes in the end.
"The irrationality"
The blindness is eternal
Persisting from the begining, to the end.
Because for the "WILL" there is no beginning or end.
Because is not linked to the laws of Time
Lovely, isn't it?
I already said it in other video and I will say it again.
We need to learn from the bad stuff, to learn to recognize the good ones.
And our loved and sour Schopenhauer, comes to show us something that we already learned before from
other Philosophers
It is the same snake, no matter if it's turned inside out.
Knowing this Philosophical spectrum, takes us out from the idea that life has a meaning
and it takes us back to reality.
That there is not
The Pessimism doesn't want to relieve the pain orsuffering to which we are bound by axiom.
It's not something negative, It's not "Fear and condemns"
But simply it is an estimate of errors estimate between intervals...
Suffering and fullness
How much we need from suffering to start enjoying from the fullness?
And how much we need from virtue to be a sensitive?
I don't know the answer to that
But you do!
Or you just will know it if you know yourself. If you question yourself and observe what happens inside you
Love yourself bro.
