literally the blackest pill ever it consumes all and every light around. Schopenhauer & Nietzsche are baby shit compared to Mainländer, I will resign to call reading him not taking the black pill but the vantablack pill. He also killed himself which is a rare thing for philosophers, showing his relationship with his philosophy is full swing. Anyways any of you guys ave read mainländer? His stuff is currently being translated but theres a spanish translation out and some guy on reddit translated alot of his main work:https://www.reddit.com/r/Mainlander/comments/93778q/pdf_of_the_english_translations_of_mainländers/

Take the vantablack pill.

Meme philosopher.
Obscure != good. In fact, with Mainländer, it's the opposite.

Why bother, just do Cioran.

Of course I have. He mostly reiterates Kant and Schopenhauer, adds a few very interesting points (and his writing is very enjoyable), but ultimately could be skipped for Hegel/Schilling with little fanfare. Still an overall favorite of mine, though, a better pessimist than Schopenhauer and the prefigure to Nietzsche.

I am not pessimistic, I am optimistic. I ignore the world, in order to stay optimistic.

Also I don't like your tone. It's aggressive, come up with a new act, or I'll terminate the thread.

Australian philosopher is like monkey captain, or a horse pilot, or woman writer.
