Yes, I am a virgin. But I'm not really bitter about it, I used to be but not anymore. I don't agree with his essay on women if that's what you're referring to.

I see that mentioned a lot due to his pessimism. Thanks for the recommendation.

Zapffe and Thacker seem interesting. I'm definitely going to look into Zapffe I've seen his face posted before but never looked him up. They all seem to be devout pessimists. I enjoy Schopenhauer's ability to turn pessimistic critique into a kind of twisted and broken form of optimism.

which videogames do you think schoppy would play?

Giacomo Leopardi is the only answer and I find it shameful that /lit/ has not recommended him yet

Zapffe was deeply influenced by Shopenhaur, read The Last Messiah, i'm sure you'll like it.

Thacker is very Ligotti-like, and sees the world as not unlike the world as portrayed in the works of Lovecraft.

He's be into some Furi, i reckon.

I could imagine him playing Sims 2 just so he could remove the pool ladder from the pool and watch as the sims panics in the pool before dying

I think people don't get that Schopenhauer had sympathy for humans and our predicament in the world.

>I've become obsessed with Schopenhauer and he's the only writer I can relate to and read.

Are you saying this based on reading Will and Representation or just his aphorisms?

>>9601090
Mostly Books 3 and 4 of World as Will and Representation and his essay On the suffering of the world. But reading any of his random essays is a joy for me. I just read A Few Parables in his studies in pessimism and I enjoy his take and viewpoint on life.

>>9600001
This.

Something boring as hell.
