The World as Will and Representation (lemmy.world)
 

Currently, reading Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation.

Has anyone else read this? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I just finished book III.

I have been pulling random quotes from random pages. Although someone pointed out that one was incorrectly quoted, but the concept stood; lol.

Hate it when the internet lies to me! Thanks for catching that; my mistake!

BTW love the Enchirideon. Read so many times my copy looks like a used napkin at this point.

Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Ask them: How much money do they have in their bank account? How often do they have sexual relations?

Data privacy? I have nothing to hide. Freedom of speech? I have nothing to say.

I love madeiras. That nutty oxidative aroma is one of a kind. I collect vintage ports... they are my weakness lol

Great list! I love blaufrankisch. I find it highly underrated and under drank.

Opinion: Who is the most underrated/under read Philosopher? (lemmy.world)
 

Opinion: Who is the most underrated/under read Philosopher?

I will start... I find Aesop and the Fables to be underrated and wrongly pointed at simply for children. These stories can and must be applied to adult life to live a better and more virtuous life. IMO.

(Yes, I am aware that some think Aesop was potentially not one person, but many, and some question he even existed... like Homer).

Would love to hear what you all think.
