It's not supposed to be humorous.

This book would have been a masterpiece and 100% right in everything if only it had a minus sign before it.

>If anything Schopenhauer should make you not give a single fuck yet still pursuing the arts and philosophies in full throttle.
It's not about pessimism in itself. His works aren't that pessimistic, not nearly like Mainlander or Cioran, but the repercussions of what he says that are really counter-intuitive, specially in regards to isolation. In the Wisdom of Life he constantly repeats that the more a man has in himself, the less he sees in others, and so the genius will isolate himself from others and focus solely on his intellectual pursuits. That's fine as it is, but what happens is that if you have any sort of psychological trouble it will only increase and worsen mental illness. Besides this, he puts so much emphasis on the importance of health that he legit worsened my hypochondria, and the fact that he says intelligence is the only thing that matters in a person's life (which will be the only thing that will enable him to exercise his genius) makes it look like all the other virtues don't matter, which are actually much more pertinent to happiness. He got it all wrong, like intelligence is the only way to happiness and only those of great spirit and genius can be happy through the exercise of their pure genius but the truth is that the other virtues are much more conducive to happiness.

>why is that anon?
Because he made my social isolation even worse than it already was. While other philosophers are against being socially withdrawn, Schopenhauer not only condones it but even incentivizes it. He made me more withdrawn from society than I already was and praised loneliness as being a virtue instead of a vice. Besides that, he kept arguing in his "Aphorisms for the Wisdom of Life" that, the greatest two factors that are conditions to a happy life are creative genius and health. The first one I lack, giving rise to self-doubt and insecurity, and the second one just turned me into a hypochodriac who self-medicated, turning my health worse and making me feel even worse in spirit.

Schopenhauer was a mistake.

He turned me into a solitary hypochondriac. Fuck Schopenhauer.

I have only one wish in this World and it is to have never have read Schopenhauer. I can safely say that reading his works has ruined my life.

I live in a dystopia. What do?
