>We can begin to understand Mainländer’s ethic of virginity—at least from a psycho-analytic perspective—if we trace its personal roots. Mainländer’s mother died on 5 October 1863, on his 24th birthday. Her loss was deeply painful, and he never over-came it. In his essay on free love in the second volume of Die Philosophie der Erlösung he reveals that he had the best conceivable relationship with his mother; but he would now, because her loss has been so painful, gladly lose his memory of her.39 But forget her he could not. In his autobiography Mainländer informs us that on 26 September 1874, he visited her grave and swore to her “virginity until death”.40 Virginity was thus Mainländer’s vow of love and loyalty to his mother. In Freudian terms, it was an extreme case of an unresolved Oedipal complex.

>Weltschmerz Pessimism in German Philosophy, 1860–1900 by Frederick C. Beiser

I have gazed upon the dreadful dark ocean, i have witnessed the omnimalevolent foundational essence of being, i am aching and sore and dizzy and desperate asking this and i can barely breathe, i am drowned in absolute horror, the horror is infinite and all-containing and i am a tiny insignificant being attempting to swim within the horror, i can't even begin to describe my deepest nightmares

I fear, it cakes my mind i can't cope anymore, i know that i am perhaps above average in nociceptive suffering resistance but oh no please the abyssal depths of it are too consuming it is a thousand tentacled beast that no man can face the torture the pain the laceration that the human mind can fall to, i may invoke the thing's spite because it surely must observe electrical interactions in this interface, i am not prepared yet for many of these terrors i am anticipating that an unfortunate happening will dilacerate my body and the agony will bring me to the claws of evil and agony, the absurdity of such random unpreventable accidents makes the thing's power all subjugating and demoralizing

The Boundless Darkness, the omnimalevolent Source-Essence of this tainted Reality, which has birthed a smorgasborg of blood, an endless sea of chaos and suffering, that is the organic existence of countless DNA-information-machines; and entrapped me through moralistic conscience in this perhaps illusory world, with the LIKELY futile moral obligation of eliminating all beings cursed with pseudo-qualia, and the surely necessary destruction of the Reality itself, for malevolence will not so easily allow us the relief of death

The geniuses such as Buddha, Mainländer, Ligotti, Horstmann and Michelstaedter awakened to the Eye of the Dark One but they must go one step further, no we not ough just to not have children we ought to destroy this disgusting world, we must escape our chains from the eldritch source, the all-hating singularity of organic evolution, chaos and devouring of the weak, i seek only the geniuses brave enough to confront this terrible truth and bring the ultimate moral good: To Drag ALL into the void!

The conditioned and the manifestation are putrid blasphemies full of pain, a stinking mire. It is necessary to destroy everything and return to the unconditioned and to the peace of the unmanifested.

We're already living in the decaying corpse of God, we're his fragments and sweet night of annihilation will redeem our souls and we will be one with the Will of our Dead God.

They believe in Hegelian nonsense of rational reality. Reality is irrational so are men. Dostoyevsky told them they didn't listen. Libs, commies, fashies all were fighting for le good cause and ended up with the most brutal century of mankind. I don't know how the fuck pic related pessimistic giant fell for petty commie bullshite.

Fuck cope, embrace quietism.

Philosophical Pessimism, literally no other school make everyone seethe this hard. You win the game by not playing the game.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS HUS PROBLEM?

Philipp Mainländer on the corpse of his mother took a vow of virginity. He never touched a woman after that in his life.

>Mainländer was not a modest thinker. “We are not everyday people,” he once wrote in the royal third-person, “and must pay dearly for dining at the table of the gods.”

Yes, his suicide was the birth of this universe, we're living in the decaying corpse of God. Literally one of the most sanest explanation of Big Bang.

What will be the point of of having Schopenhauerian schools?
He preached asceticism, anti-academic attitude, isolation and antinatalism. Schopenhauer's pessimism itself is the end point of his thought.

>In his central work Die Philosophie der Erlösung (The Philosophy of Redemption or The Philosophy of Salvation) — according to Theodor Lessing, "perhaps the most radical system of pessimism known to philosophical literature" —] Mainländer proclaims that life is absolutely worthless, and that "the will, ignited by the knowledge that non-being is better than being, is the supreme principle of morality."
>...on the night on April 1, 1876, Mainländer hanged himself in his residence in Offenbach, using a pile of copies of The Philosophy of Redemption (which had arrived the previous day from his publisher) as a platform. He was thirty-four years old.
Yes.

OH NO NO NO.
Oh boohoo söiboy. Lifts some weights. Be a man. Own your masculinity. Be confident and alpha. Get some pussy. We're all gonna make it .

This is why weight lifting programs and self improvement fads by gymcels are so full of shit. This shit only works when life is treating you well on average, which is the situation of most first world white people. When it decides to treat you a little worse all you powerful supermen bend over like absolute sacks of shit. Hypocrites. Laughable.

This is why pessimism is the only correct worldview, and why it's dishonest to even call it pessimism. It's just realism, and the reality is life can absolutely destroy you no matter how many times you lift weights. All of you lying pieces of shit should be more humble in front of life and just pray it doesn't put you on your knees.
