@@хорошийчеловек-л6я 1. Egoism and Selfishness Schopenhauer paints a rather unflattering picture of men, describing them as fundamentally egoistic. He argues that many prioritize their own desires over the needs of others. This self-centeredness can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings in relationships. 2. Driven by Will, Not Reason In his philosophy, Schopenhauer makes a critical distinction between reason and will. He suggests that men are often ruled by their impulses and desires, resulting in behavior that can be impulsive and irrational. This lack of self-control is a recurring theme in his critique. 3. Women and Manipulation While Schopenhauer does not shy away from critiquing women, his views on gender roles are equally contentious. He sees women as adept at manipulating male desires, implying that they play a significant role in the dynamics of relationships. His opinions on women's intelligence and capabilities are often dismissive. 4. Hidden Drives In "Parerga and Paralipomena," Schopenhauer explores the hidden drives that motivate men. He suggests that these often repressed desires can lead to self-destructive behavior, highlighting the darker side of human nature. 5. Moral Decline Schopenhauer expresses deep concern about what he perceives as a moral decline in men within modern society. He warns that increasing alienation and a loss of traditional values pose serious threats to human integrity. Key Works To fully understand his critique, two key works are essential: "The World as Will and Representation" (1818): Here, Schopenhauer outlines his philosophy, arguing that humans are driven by a blind and relentless will. "Parerga and Paralipomena" (1851): This collection of essays further explores his thoughts on human nature, ethics, and gender dynamics. Conclusion Schopenhauer’s writings provide a stark and often uncomfortable reflection on masculinity and human behavior. His insights challenge us to consider the complexities of our nature and relationships.

Pretty solid grasp of evolutionary psychology threaded in here as well. This is why Schopenhauer is the man who brought me back into thinking philosophy is more than just unfinished scientific method. I disagree with him in some areas, like his views on polygamy. I also think his views on motherly love are based on very limited evidence. While women do tend to enjoy infancy with their children, I think it’s not the rule that they love their children less as they age. I think it would be more accurate to say women are more comfortable with helpless children because they can protect their very expensive biological investment. Fear about offspring interacting with the outside environment might come across as disapproval of the child but I think that’s all it is for the average mother: fear. I do find it interesting how much the average woman has changed in attitude in the west. I would not describe women in western culture as happy or easily pleased.

[@josef-gorosinhuf5003]

Schopenhauer was just as harsh in his criticism of men as he was of women, holding a deeply pessimistic view of human nature in general. He saw men as driven by their lowest instincts, particularly their insatiable sexual desires and aggressive ambitions, which led them to irrational and destructive behavior. Schopenhauer believed that the male sex drive often led to chaos, competition, and suffering, describing men as slaves to their passions, constantly in pursuit of dominance and power. In his philosophy, especially in "The World as Will and Representation," Schopenhauer portrayed men as trapped by the "will to live," which he saw as the root cause of selfishness, greed, and violence. He argued that this force drives men to act in self-serving ways, pushing them into endless cycles of desire and frustration. According to Schopenhauer, men’s ambitions and desires for recognition or status often led them to conflict, war, and ultimately dissatisfaction, as they could never find lasting fulfillment in these pursuits. Schopenhauer's critique of men highlighted their inability to transcend their base instincts, viewing them as doomed to a life of striving and suffering, locked in an eternal battle with their own desires. This harsh judgment was not just a critique of individual men but a broader condemnation of humanity itself, which he believed was fundamentally flawed and trapped in a perpetual state of discontent.

[@HenrySimmons1225]

So you hate your own gender? Damn

[@josef-gorosinhuf5003]

@@HenrySimmons1225 It's not about hating one's own gender-it's called accountability. Schopenhauer's philosophy was harsh on both men and women because he critiqued human nature as a whole. Holding men accountable for their flaws isn’t self-hate; it’s an honest acknowledgment of human limitations. Accountability-something women are often known for avoiding. That's why men call it your kryptonite. Schopenhauer wasn’t about hate, more about pessimism; he was about exposing uncomfortable truths, which, clearly, some people would rather dodge than face.

In my humblest opinion, Schopenhauer was a laser focused and timeless observational genius when it came to seeing the material world for what it truly is, but this was also his curse and it led to the intellectual decay of the Pessimistic mindset. We see this same type of worldview when it comes to Atheism in my humble opinion and respectively speaking, this is an absolute tragedy and waste of such a voluminously beautiful mind. Be well all and excellent video as usual Skeptical Waves. 👏

[@josef-gorosinhuf5003]

Well said! I agree that Schopenhauer had an incredibly sharp view of the material world, though his intense pessimism could be limiting. However, you're right-there are many other philosophies that also offer a clear-eyed perspective on the material world without falling into pessimism. Pragmatism, for instance, focuses on practical outcomes and adapting to reality as it is. Machiavellianism sees the world through a lens of power and strategic thinking. Stoicism and Zen Buddhism both encourage acceptance of reality while fostering inner peace and resilience. Realism emphasizes seeing things as they are, not as we wish them to be. These philosophies can offer balance and constructive approaches to understanding the material world, without necessarily leading to despair.

[@josef-gorosinhuf5003]

​@@HenrySimmons1225I’d move beyond the pill categories entirely- but philosophy is complex, and men have always sought to make order out of the chaos, that's why they need to categorize. Schopenhauer is just one side of the coin. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche actually form a powerful philosophical duo, like yin and yang. Schopenhauer offers a darker, more pessimistic view of life, where existence is driven by irrational desires and suffering, encapsulated in his concept of the "will." For him, life is a struggle, and peace can only be found in the denial of worldly desires. Nietzsche, on the other hand, presents a life-affirming and dynamic perspective. He directly challenges Schopenhauer's pessimism with his idea of the "will to power," embracing life’s struggles as opportunities for growth and self-overcoming. While Schopenhauer advises retreat, Nietzsche encourages us to engage with life, even celebrating its chaos and pain. Together, they provide both sides of the human experience: Schopenhauer's realism about suffering, and Nietzsche’s call for strength and meaning in the face of it. You can’t fully understand life by considering only one-they are the yin and yang of modern philosophy. By balancing these perspectives, we gain a deeper, more nuanced understanding of existence.

Men are often seen as the providers and protectors, which is emphasized in Surah An-Nisa (4:34), where it states that “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women…” due to their responsibility to provide and support. This isn't just a societal expectation but also a form of service to the family and community in line with Islamic principles. For men, life can feel like a race because their value is frequently tied to what they can provide-resources, influence, and leadership. Men compete for these things to be seen as worthy of respect and to secure the ability to support a family. Women, on the other hand, are often seen as having inherent value. In this dynamic, women are the ones who choose, while men compete to be chosen. This isn’t to say that women have no struggles, but it highlights a difference in societal expectations that can sometimes feel like a burden on men, especially in environments like Western society, where these pressures are amplified. Understanding this balance can help us see why men feel the need to "run the race," even if it isn’t always apparent.

There is nothing more valuable, more interesting in a man's life than the love of a woman. She alone gives meaning to life and enables us to endure all suffering in this vale of tears. God is the poorest substitute for woman's passive submission.😊

Men who depend on external sources for their happiness are the weakest of all. Their sense of well-being is fragile, constantly at the mercy of circumstances beyond their control. When their joy is tied to something outside themselves-a person, an achievement, or material possession-they surrender their inner strength to chance. This reliance makes them prone to disappointment, as the world is ever-changing and unpredictable. Their happiness is like a leaf in the wind, easily swept away by the smallest gust of adversity, leaving them perpetually vulnerable to discontent. True strength lies in self-sufficiency, in finding contentment within, where nothing external can disturb its foundation.

@@GregoryKent-m9b Thanks! But take what I say with a grain of salt. "Do not go by what you have heard, by tradition, by rumor, by what is my scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by considering appearances, by delight in speculative views, or by someone’s apparent expertise, nor by the thought ‘The monk is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that these qualities are skillful and lead to welfare and happiness, then you should enter and abide in them."

It’s reverting back. Feminist societies are collapsing because of negative birth rate. These countries are becoming also more conservative.
