Any /schopbros/ here? I know we're a rare breed here, there's Hegelians all over the boards, but maybe there's some fellow travelers. I have approximately 500 philosophy books in my bookcase, but out of all of them, Schopenhauer is my favorite to refer to people who want to "Get started" in philosophy.

His essays are incredibly clear and are often on relevant topics. Even when he's wrong, it's easy to understand why he's wrong and say "that's bullshit!" His great work, "World as Will and Idea," takes a bit of time to delve into, but is really worthwhile if you're a fan of Kant or Hume. It was ultimately Schopenhauer who redeemed Kant – and introduced a lot of Buddhist ways of thinking to post-Enlightenment Europe.

Never read him, but I heard he was a depressed cunt with nothing good happening for him. I dont want to be a depressed cunt either.
What exactly makes him radically different from Hegel? I find his pendulum analogy quite similar to your common dialect.

Well, he does talk about how world, the life, existence are inherently kind of shitty to contrast against the philosophical optimism of copelords like Liebniz. Liebniz responded to the problem of evil by saying, "this is the best of all possible worlds; we have just enough evil and suffering to make it so we can comprehend good and evil and choose good and be rewarded for it…" and Schopenhauer basically said, "no, you're full of shit" like Voltaire did in Candide.

If you worry that reading philosophy will "make you a depressed cunt" then philosophy probably isn't for you. Or Leftism, tbh. Schopenhauer didn't say that life isn't worth living, he just said that it's shit by default. He does identify ways out of this "shit" though. If you feel like the world is shit and agree with his analysis of why it's shit, then you may agree with his solution.
