Professor, I am a 59 years old man; however, I have learned a great deal since I discovered your lessons. English is not my mother tongue; still your way of spanking is very accessible even on a difficult subject as philosophy. Thank you and please keep up the great work 👍

"having fewer desires to be satisfied" (6:20)... This relief or sense of freedom reminds of the following quote: It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters. (Edmund Burke)

One can only imagine his disdain for novels was related to the fact that his mother Johanna, with whom he had a complicated and strained relationship, was a somewhat famous novelist. She was in fact the first female novelist to be published in the German speaking world. He mentions his dislike of novels multiple times throughout his writing. It's hard to imagine that this was coincidental. Arthur was, at least at some period of his life, distressed that his chief work was not popular. He only became famous later in life with works such as this one. I imagine he did have some envy towards her on this account.

11:00 Schopenhauer was of course a proto-antinatalist, so he would better want people not to have children at all, but IF people had children, that would be the way to learn them how to deal with this charade of a world.
