Amazing comments from all of you, as well as insights from personal experience. Have never seen the topic covered systematically in any course in US universities; am an Arts & Sciences major at a good US school but the underlying assumption was that humans communicate and act rationally - without distortions from emotions, envy, perceptions etc. And so people are selected based on merit. And any breakdowns are individual instances. Can anyone share where to learn, study and train for such situations? Some parameters - different for everyone. My view is that people and relationships are the most important things in life. There is repercussions for abusing others (worldly, karmic, faith based). But also have been entrepreneurial about business and nonprofit work in different countries and cultures - which required constant learning of how 'other' people think, act. But that was also a conscious way to grow. It has led to amazing discoveries, and growth, but it takes its toll as socially we still need to fit into some 'tribe' in the US (its going to extremes now, i have never asked people i help where they are from, work, religion, etc, including in disasters - see the FEMA aid exclusion, other news showing political views can affect one's business). Agree that everyone has some gift, intelligence has many forms, find children to be amazing - they have this accepting One can have decades of training but as most of you mentioned you had to learn it from personal experience after much pain, damage. I am still learning but the costs are not sustainable by every measure - understanding that we all have different strengths, endurance's, also that people who project emotional strength may in reality just have no emotional bandwidth - eg narcissists. Outside of NY City, the educated suburbs surprisingly have little tolerance for 'different' people - views, behavior, looks. Its evidenced by the absence of 'different' in each group / 'tribe'. Even met sensitive, educated women afraid to break out of allowed thinking. Always thought different meant good, exceptional, as in great scientists, entrepreneurs, or people with morality. Its near impossible for me to be in any one tribe - whether by business, religion, race, gender, class. Outwardly it seemed people wanted that adaptable breadth, and still fashionable to defend it even in 'progressive' circles. Feel traumatized after this journey, where breaking boundaries leads to ostracization. Some of you can be alone but realize not everyone has that trait, and historically its new. And yes i have my weaknesses, wanting acceptance, love, the right work... New to this, not sure how comment community works, ... or as i asked how else to go deeper, where.. I like to do service work, so thought people in nonprofits would fit but they seem disconnected from large swathes of the country, let alone going to 'different' or poor communities. Sath

Hello, thank for your work. I just wanna say that it could be helpful to have the pages in the screen. Greetings from Chile

There's a reason why Arty-Boy never got invited to parties...

Nice work Sir. You should have 100 million subscribers, but that is apparently reserved for pretty young girls blabbing as they look in the vanity mirror applying their make up. There are many history KZbin channels where the speaker declaims in a way that emphases every syllable of every word and speaks very fast so that it sounds like a farm equipment auctioneer or a gorilla on amphetamines banging on a bass drum with a Chinese gong. It seems to be a ridiculous contemporary fad designed to falsely convey authority and mastery of the subject and perhaps Tony Robbins-like enthusiasm, when in reality it is just grating noise.

Nice work. Much wisdom here. This is the problem with Femgrabism -- always wanting more, these unphilosophical females are More-ons, grabbing what they neither earned nor deserved is their More-ality and their religion is MoreMoneyism. Very rare to see a woman reading the Stoics and they are generally much more knowledgeable of, and intimately familiar with, shopping hours than Schopenhauer.

Trouble is: you cannot fix stupid. Stupidity only ends when the stupid root. Just look at the way the stupid took Fauci's Kool-Aid. To this day, the stupid cannot see their error and proudly deny it, deny it and deny it to death! Perpexling.

I thought about this possibility too but would not that be an overestimating of the simpleton's (un)intelect?

Tie your camel but trust in God

Is this the entire book!?! Or only select chapters. It looks pretty thorough

In the workplace...never wear your intelligence on your sleeve...listen to what is said by the people around you, make your own judgements and treat them accordingly

Isn’t pizza code word for somethingpaedophilic. Not to mention the biggest parasitic paedophile on earth the pope and the Vatican, which is essentially institutionalized paedophilia it’s a pretty creepy video man but I’m glad you got all your copyright in order…

Time is terrifying to me. I always fear that as 26 year old, I wouldn't be able to live life like i planned. As someone with extreme anxiety and wasted my early 20s in my room rotting, getting old is horrible. I know i have to accept the truth that i can only move forward and I'm starting to make best of time travelling. I hope Schopenhauer is right that old age is better

Yes brother

Transcendent vs Immanent Knowledge? Or Internet vs Human Knowledge? IT~IS very interesting how older programs refuge within a dilapidated construct, fight or flight for example. But as to say; transcendent vibrations can be a bit overwhelming for a sensitive organic construct program. Very interesting stuff!!! Thank You Christopher Anadale for being imminently transcendent, Good Day Sir.

Awesome informative content. Got my headphones in and listening to this enlightening content.

I take great comfort knowing that I didn’t bring forth spawn into this world.

Some people think you are thinking you are better than they are and want to destroy you with their physical bravado. I have thought I need to think carefully of how to say what I want too. Dumbing down is dangerous for oneself.

Good stuff. Thank you for going over this.

8:42. This doesn’t expand on the concept of relativity. An insulting person only looks bad to those who are smarter. But the insulting person looks superior to those who are not as intelligent. I’m thinking of the Biff cronies from Back to the Future. What happens to the social hierarchy when the less intelligent see their idol outsmarted by the intelligent person? Like when Biff ran into a pile of horse manure?

Trust is only required where understanding is lacking.

great videos keep going!

As an old man in the autumn of my life if there is one thing I would tell every intellectual and thoughtful young man - be on your guard, especially against your emotions ! Because they will lead you astray and perhaps shipwreck you for life on an earthly Hell. Always go against your emotions. If I only had done this I would have led a far happier life.

Schopenhauer was right - all wars are about plunder and theft including the second world War. It was not fought to save European Jewry rather Britain declared war on Germany to preserve the balance of power in continental Europe and insure its interests are not super seeded. And the victims of the Holocaust - well Schopenhauer would not be surprised at their behaviour today ! He always had a dim view of God's chosen people !

I concur with him. Anticipation does deduct from actual pleasure. For example, a man will build his dream home, and will have a certain idea in his mind about it. His imagination will run away with him, - what it would be like, the status he will enjoy from his peers etc. In the end, he will find that the actual anticipation, i.e his imagination, will fall short of the actual outcome. This will further become worse with the lapse of time. Imagination and anticipation always makes things bigger and therefore brighter than reality. He is spot on.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” ― Isaac Asimov

Intelligence is actually a masculine characteristic,contrary to society's lame way of seeing things.So in conclusion.....They are just intimidated by Real Men.Thank you.I took an IQ test yesterday,you wanna know the results....bet I did better than the people who insulted my intelligence.Any Takers? Thought Not.There is "common sense" and there is what I like to call "Superior Intellect" Truth has spoken,uno reverse,back at ya Lol Hey,just busting your chops😅

Nietchezites book Thus Spoke Tharazustra - certainly the first few chapters are precisely about Tharazustra going out into society and trying to impart his wisdom. And he is misunderstood. Which is pretty benign. More often than not you will be hated. My teachers at university in Scotland many decades ago hated me for contradicting them. That, and i was a man of colour at a time when not many people of colour went to university.

This isn't just about reading philosophy for syllabus, I read that as a hobby cuz it gives me new ideas, and the points about marking, highlighting, making notes, etc can be applied everywhere if subject is complicated (like I do in CSE books).

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have your heart broken early by a woman and you will spare yourself a lifetime of anguish and misunderstanding ! Especially misunderstanding women !

I presume you're an Academic Chris ! Many decades ago when I went to university in Scotland - I couldn't stand the teachers there. And having worked in academia most people - well let's just say I never liked them. But you yourself over the medium of a video seem to be a very likeable guy 😊 ! A genuine compliment from someone who doesn't give compliments.

In my country, first thing kids think of after completing their school is "contemplating ending their own lives", surprisingly, it's the only country where YOUNG people 15-25 die by suicide than by anything else, or else get their live tormented by substance or anything else. There's something really wrong here.

At 71 I'm begining to see changes I wasn't expecting and unimaginable at 50 it's like the world is refusing to accomodate me as it used to. There's less activity and more peace but much less interest shown by others even by my wife and speaking my mind has become a problem. No one wants to here about the experiences of old people, the yuoung would rather make their own mistakes than listen to their elders. Happy to take money not so happy to listen or respect, and so we sink deeper into the mire of old age until we are forgotten.

Anyone who is young and read Schopenhauer for the first time ! Abide by what he says about life. Speaking through experience I disregarded the lessons he teaches you about life. I thought happiness was out there in some exotic place. I rushed out to welcome it and fell into the arms of pain.

'The Fountainhead' - Ayn Rand

Marvellous indeed. Plays straight into the Buddha's 12 links of co-dependent origination, i.e. Impermanence and unsatisfactoriness of a temporary, individuated existence intoxicated with non transcendental life habits, incorrect world view, and resultant shallow aspirations.❤❤😊

Wonderful insight, elegant, simple and comforting. Marvellous indeed. Profound thanks with kind respect.

TmI a disease if our Times😊

I am leaving to walk a portion of the 'villa da la plata' camino in Spain. This is the book I will be taking along.

Politeness is necessary in society and varies in intensity from the failure to observe standard mores at one end of the spectrum to outright aggression and criminality at the other. Once cultural standards in any civilization begin to decay, so will polite society and decency followed by a general disrespect for even basic law and institutions as order is replaced by turmoil and finally utter chaos.

It's a really funny thing. We don't seem to have this problem with other "areas of strength." We love superior athletes, superior musicians, superior artists, and other noteworthy people like celebrities (superior popularity) and so on. To the point of idolizing them. Only with intellect does this negative response seem to appear. It's never really made sense to me - these intellectual "stand-outs" are the ones who have GIVEN US the wonderful lifestyle we enjoy today. All the luxuries, the technology, the gadgets, etc. that we just take for granted. REALLY we should appreciate these people more than any of the others I listed above. But we don't.

Don't forget how Rudolf had to cover his nose so the other reindeer wouldn't get angry at him. I just thought of that and it's Cristmas time and all, haha.

People are often derided and ridiculed (behind their back, if not openly) for bragging similar to the Pharisees praying on the street corner to be seen. One of the few exceptions to this where it may prove prudent to claim accomplishment is in the workplace when someone is attempting to get credit for work that you did (often after asking you to help them). Management needs to know who is really doing the work or this situation will likely get worse, so that the slacker does even less while the more productive end up doing even more. In larger organizations it is often the case that only a small percent of the staff are doing most of the work.

Avoid what you can avoid. Endure what you must endure.

great..

I studied Nietzsche extensively before coming to Schopenhauer. I know that N proclaimed in Human all too Human that S was his one and only teacher, but i didn't realize until now just how much N borrowed from S.
