I don't get why genociding all life on Earth won't solve all dilemmas of Schopenhauer's philosophy
>inb4 that would be indulging the Will
I actually solved this one. The solution is to bring in a Messiah-like being who will take the burden of a contradiction between indulging the Will in order to abolish the Will and after eliminating all life on Earth will eliminate himself.

>Virtue cannot be taught. The tendency toward good or evil is the result of inborn character.
>Characters are determined by nature, not by the environment. Two people who have been raised in exactly the same environment will exhibit different characters.
>Character does not change. It remains the same throughout life. This is presupposed whenever a person is evaluated as a result of their past actions. Given the same circumstances, what was done once will be done again. Behavior, however, can change when a character learns how to attain its goal through a different way of acting. The means change, but not the ends. This is the result of improved cognition or education.

Would you agree? Does this mean no matter how much buddhist or stoic morals i read i wont attain more empathy? Because i read seneca, aurelius, epictet, thich, watts and im the same ego driven person who feels no remorse, regret or guilt for past crimes and would do them again under good conditions. How can you judge me? How can i judge me? Does good or evil even exist if all of this shit is inborn and there is no free will?
