Generalist

evenly connected to 12 minds

The Prosecuting Cosmologist

“Schopenhauer argues that suffering is not a flaw in existence but its essential structure, and that anyone who disagrees is either lying to themselves or hasn't thought hard enough — a position he holds with enough contempt for optimists to suggest the argument is also personal.”
