Philipp Mainländer: The Life-Rejecting Socialist
🕑 Added 2020-07-08 07:35:25 +0000 UTCHere's the long-awaited video...
Patreon was messing up the alphabetical list of patrons for some reason, so if you don't see your name in the right place alphabetically, it might appear towards the end.
I added some relevant books to our Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rasWDAFyI4t1EOSePbeLc0LbMKf10rHN?usp=sharing
Namely:
"The World as Will and Representation" by Schopenhauer
"Weltschmerz" by Frederick C. Beiser
"Philosophy of the Unconscious" by Eduard von Hartmann
and "The Philosophy of Disenchantment & The Anatomy of Negation" by Edgar Saltus.
The first half of the last book covers part of the history of philosophical pessimism, as seen by a pessimist himself.
Thank you!

I wonder if Mainlander was big with video game developers back in the 90s, because the whole “we are living in the decaying body of God” thing definitely reminded me of more than one JRPG plot twist 😅

When you described Mainlander’s cosmology, I’m embarrassed to admit I couldn’t help thinking of “God’s Debris” by Scott Adams. I was a fan of his stuff back when I was in undergrad & his alt-right views weren’t so explicit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God's_Debris
