He would look down on everyone in this thread. The will itself is the opposite of freedom. The very presence of will cancels freedom. We are more free the less we will, "free will" is a contradiction. Will is an imperative, and for that imperative to be controlled would imply more will, which is itself imperative. To will freely is to will will, which in turn is subsumed by the larger Will which is the motive force of existence.
Not saying I totally believe this but Schopie definitely BTFO free will within the confines of his system.

Arthur Schopenhauer

>Should you ever intend to dull the wits of a young man and to incapacitate his brains for any kind of thought whatever, then you cannot do better than give Hegel to read. [...] A guardian fearing that his ward might become too intelligent for his schemes might prevent this misfortune by innocently suggesting the reading of Hegel.

>If I were to say that the so-called philosophy of this fellow Hegel is a colossal piece of mystification which will yet provide posterity with an inexhaustible theme for laughter at our times, that it is a pseudo-philosophy paralyzing all mental powers, stifling all real thinking, and, by the most outrageous misuse of language, putting in its place the hollowest, most senseless, thoughtless, and, as is confirmed by its success, most stupefying verbiage, I should be quite right. Further, if I were to say that this summus philosophus [...] scribbled nonsense quite unlike any mortal before him, so that whoever could read his most eulogized work, the so-called Phenomenology of the Mind, without feeling as if he were in a madhouse, would qualify as an inmate for Bedlam, I should be no less right. At first Fichte and Schelling shine as the heroes of this epoch; to be followed by the man who is quite unworthy even of them, and greatly their inferior in point of talent --- I mean the stupid and clumsy charlatan Hegel.

>“There is some wisdom in taking a gloomy view, in looking upon the world as a kind of Hell, and in confining one's efforts to securing a little room that shall not be exposed to the fire.”

You're walking down the street and this guy slaps your gf on the ass and tells her that he cannot will what he Wills.

What do you do?
