Schopenhauer: Our Relation to Others | Counsels & Maxims 21-46 (Chapter 3)

[@sjmousavi8754]

Thanks a million for such a wonderful presentation.❤

[@patrickgrengs7594]

Since discovering your channel, your readings have become a mainstay on my lengthy roadtrips. Thank you, Dr. Anadale. Your voice, expression and interpretation of Schopenhauer are appreciated.

[@benjaminott6498]

Schopenhauer was a genius comedian decades ahead of his time

[@mmka5434]

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. In the most difficult adversities and hardships of life Seneca, Schopenhauer and another great philosophers have always been a lifesaver. Be blessed and be well, sir. ❤🙏

I really enjoy your Schopenhaur readings. Thank you so much.

Excellent narration. Thank you for taking time to read and share.

18:24 This reminds me of the line Ram Das used to offer: "When a pickpocket meets a Saint, he sees only his pockets". I am greatly enjoying these uploads.

[@airnearth5165]

Thanks for your great work for bringing this knowledge to us. I feel so relieved after listening to this. Very well explained human behaviors that exist in our society, among friends and acquaintances. 😅 Smile will be my best reaction to them 😝

[@warrengrant]

Thanks ! You have a lovely and relaxing voice - appreciate the effort - content is very interesting.

[@Gary-ft8xu]

Thanks for the reading and explanation. This is easier for me to listen to than reading it myself. His wording is long winded and puts me to sleep when i read it.

[@seanhunt5952]

Nice speaking and clear analysis of Schope! I find so much of this applicable as help for tolerating life.

Question: Christopher, have you benefitted personally from applying Schopenhauer’s teachings to your personal life? I ask because I see many examples of wisdom being spoken but few applied.

[@RavenCrowCawCaw]

25:27 “their minds so wired to their senses…. They’re pests” Lol. Harsh, but kind of true. I always call these annoying folks “animals” silently in my head of course😂. Glad my thought is validated by Schopenhauer 😅

Thanks for your excellent readings...Pity about the volumeof the msic at the start of each section; it means I can't listen to them as I go to sleep..

[@ChristopherAnadale]

Thanks for pointing that out. There is no music in the middle of this longer compilation: maybe that will work for you. I may see about re-releasing this one without the section-starting musics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3-ykoWPaLqqd6ssi=m2hato6p5iv_m37z

[@saintsword23]

The part about how writers cannot write a character more intelligent than themselves reminds me of the Big Bang Theory. It's a show about intelligent people but it's made for those of more modest intellect, and its caricatures of intelligent people are absurd and ludicrously stereotypical. I've even seen Jordan Peterson address it and point out that the evidence overwhelmingly supports a positive correlation between intelligence and social skills, not the opposite (this doesn't invalidate what Schopenhauer says at all by the way - you can have social skills and still have a massive penalty to socialization due to the envy of your lessers).

[@carlahafeman6461]

Awesome! I was a professional astrologer and found that merely suggesting that change itself would be required to reach the goal proposed by the querient, would offend many deeply. I got in the habit of asking clients how much truth they cared to hear, to gage quality and quantity of response. Also kudos for comparison to Nietzche’s function of will; applies to current chaos out there now.

I've been trying to get friends and family to understand what I've been going through with Mrs white picket fence isn't this what they call narcissism these days

[@thelotuspad]

Mr. Schopenhauer there is nothing that we can point to that is not us... no subject, no object... maybe keep that in mind while you trash talk us vain shallow blockheads... without us you could not feel so superior... also I'm curious to know what you think about Candy Crush😆🙂🙃🙂😉

Also timeliness of truth has significance. Lies are mans greatest weapons. Truth now will put end to unnecessary suffering and loss of life. Stalin has a very good quote. It goes something like this... "No man, no problem." And with that our history and been completely fabricated not only to the causes but to the actual events themselves. TV and what they brought forth being the most dangerous and effective weapon to spread their lies. School follows in a proud second place. Learning lies is it much of learning at all. Learn to read only what you are told. Kind of backwards don't you think.

You are really good. Thanks, but a lot of women might feel offended by a lot of the content of this book. I hope you are not trying to engage people to use it. I feel they might come misogynistic. I prefer today ways of being authentic

[@Eric-ej3oy]

Misogyny is naturally inherent in us. You gotta hate somebody or something in life. Some ppl hate everything about life so much that if they had a red buttom to push to end all life, they would at the push of a buttom.

[@paulaoh5306]

@@Eric-ej3oy No, I don't need to hate anything or anyone. Good enough to learn, understand, and then move on. Hate, even when justified, eats away at people. Wasted energy.

[@DZ-rf9fh]

People being offended is not justification for shutting down free speech or the discussion of ideas. If someone is offended by any content on any platform, they are free to switch to content that does resonate.

[@paulaoh5306]

@DZ-rf9fh I don't think anyone said anything about shutting down free speech. This writing is in the public domain--anyone can find it and read it any time they want. And they should. Context is important--such attitudes were the cultural norm when Schopenhaur was writing. And sexism persists, so let's not kid ourselves. I would prefer that more context is provided for these writings, and I said elsewhere that I would prefer to hear more of Schopenhaur's enlightening and edifying writing than this kind of thing.

[@DZ-rf9fh]

​@@paulaoh5306I am glad you articulated that you want more context. Don't agree with the current feminist approach, of offence. Not all men are sexiest by a long shot. I personally enjoyed more support from men than women during my career. Being offended is a personal issue and causes further difficulties vs asking for and being clear about what you want and need. The world will never be what one wants it to be, and as far a womens rights go, you have them, use them wisely.

[@paulaoh5306]

These cynical and petty observations of human nature are not especially enlightening.

[@coxmagic4557]

I see your point but I think shope points out basic truths and those truth are cynical.. yet still truth. Life as beautiful and ugly truths.

[@paulaoh5306]

Look, there's plenty we can learn from Schopenhauer, but this is not it. I was disappointed by this because I was hoping to hear something a bit more edifying. There are so many great lectures on YT that I don't want to waste my time. Anyone who has spent an hour in the world or on social media can make these same observations and not be much better for it. The better person focuses his or her attention elsewhere.
