  • He's the hero of the liberals who want the government to make a law against anything that bothers them. 

  • I agree entirely. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a built-in volume control that allowed us to shut off outside noise? I'm surprised a genius like Schopenhauer didn't think of idiots making noise consciously to reduce intellectuals to their level. He seems to think they're unaware of what they're doing. Noise is a great weapon for totally insensitive morons, the great equalizer that keeps others from thinking or enjoying art.

  • This is quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever heard.

  • What a whiny little bitch.

  • I don´t see how this is supposed to be a metaphor for the struggle between good and evil

  • He's being metaphorical...of course he is.

    I wonder how many clueless fucktards are desensitized to the ubiquitous globalized cracking of the whip that will very soon enslave every one of their tv gobbling arses...and mine!

    To know and not act is not yet to know. Mishima showed us the way, shitesacks unite and die with honour rather than die ignominiously!

  • @11pinrelay Beautiful Schopenhauerian prose there mate

  • @SwordInAir It's nice to be appreciated. See himself "On Women", faved on me channel, and me comments therein.

    I'd rather live with dignity and die with honour than git rich or die tryin'.

    No apologies.

  • @11pinrelay Sorry mate I was joking. You said things like 'clueless fucktards' and 'shitesacks'.

  • Comment removed

  • *unsustainable, that should read.

    as in out of harmony with nature - as in evil. and incredibly stupid.

  • cont.

    whales represent K selection and salmon R.Those a reproductive variants.

    As for attention variants ants represent on end of the spectrum and tigers the other end(using a fly may have been better for the analogy).One is focused upon one task at hand and works as a cooperative group member the other upon focusing on it's surrounding and is more independent.

    Is there an existing theory for this?dunno but it's what I observe as an "ADD"er myself.

  • He may be a genius and he may speak beautifuly, but he seems increadibly judgemental...then again maybe I just cant thing properly because the video is playing.

  • There are time where one just does not want to hear anything. Scurrying to a library or coffee shop, away from that propaganda box we call TV and all who attends to it's hypnotizing hooks. Still noise follows, unless it's out in the country, far away...

  • Elitism IS genius. They cannot exist without each other in some form.

    Schopenhauer never had to deal with 90 decibel gangsta rap woofer-raping, window-rattling bass burping from some negroes "Muhdik" chariot...

  • @NKVism3 Neither do you. If you don't like something, ignore it rather than dwelling on it. In my opinion Hip Hop was good until it got commercialised, but I know you don't care because I bet you don't like anything a so-called negro comes up with.

  • @NKVism3 90?? My old car hit 140 playing Flashdance. :p

  • @l337pwnage - in a sane evolved reality they wouldn't have built roads, nor used fossil fuels ever. would have waited til it had hovering vehicles so as not to disturb the ground, or have learned to get their merkabah's working so as not to have to abuse any nature at all to make the metals etc required for the hover-ships.

    the reason this reality is so stupid backward and polluted - is cause morons like you ever had any influence.

    kill yourself.

  • life is a noisy, dirty proposal...but yes, noise pollution affects the body and mind.

  • life is a noisy, dirty proposal...but yes, noise pollution affects the body and mind.

  • Amen! I'm so grateful not to live in a time with cracking whips. It sounds like torture. Schopenhauer should have moved to the country like I did. I also dislike the high-pitched sound of children's and teenager's voices (not just their crying). Babies' voices are ok, as long as they aren't crying or squealing. If Schopenhauer hated whips, he would really hate the obnoxious sound of loud car motors.

  • stop whining dude and get over it. hard to believe that he was highly influenced by buddhism and hinduism, which teach people to tolerate and not let external world influence ones thinking. But here, this guy just keeps on ranting about something as insignificant as whipping noise. lol

  • @mintoo2cool - you're a moron - the reason there's no buddha's etc these days is that people like that can't exist in realties like this, because they are so abusive to normal people - noise-pollution is only one of the evils that rapes the aethers and causes disease.

    there were vimanas in ancient india etc - the polluting tech does come from those times (sumer etc also), but nobody ever produced great philosophical works unless they had a muse or were only in nature etc.

  • "How many great and splendid thoughts i should like to know had been lost to the world by the crack of a whip"..?- Arthur Schopenhauer

    Far too many.. far too many

  • Arthur made me realize every simple thought has such a dare i say complex world behind it all

  • "Therefore when I hear dogs barking unchecked for hours in the courtyard of a house, I know what to think of the mental powers of the inhabitants."

    - Arthur Schopenhauer, World As Will And Representation, Vol II, p.30.

    So true.

  • this guy isnt a very emphatic reader. very catatonic

  • Schopenhauer just gave a perfect description of Aspergers...

  • @K4inan Aspergers seem to enjoy flashing lights and noise very much. Maybe you're just angry?

  • @neuraxianfusion - i like clubs, electronic music, and strobes etc - but i won't tolerate noise-pollution outside or that is in any way imposed from one to another, it's a completely different scenario.

    it's rude and abusive to force anyone else to hear your shit.

  • The whip. Replaced by the horn.

  • the trials of a man who lived in the days before double glazing. wonder what he would have made of cars with sub woofers?

  • clearly he suffers from excessive estrogen production, or ADD.

  • @l337pwnage Ah, because you disagree with him yes? Sorry, I'll only take your opinion seriously if you agree with him and still maintain this opinions. Otherwise I can only assume that your motivations for making such a statement are purely ideological.

  • @l337pwnage - no, you're just an idiot. kill yourself fucktard.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky Awwwww...QQ. I must have hit pretty close to the mark, lol.

  • @l337pwnage - no idiot, clearly you didn't or i wouldn't have replied telling you what an idiot you are.

    why in the fuck would i tell you you're an idiot for being right?!

    kill yourself.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky Have you ever had a coherent thought? You might want to have your doctor adjust your medication.

  • @l337pwnage - this reality is fucked up and evil, because satanic child-molester scum like you are able to exist, tell lies about great people like me as you did there - all the while ignoring the fact that what you project upon others in fact applies to you.

    you're scum and you'll go to hell and be dr.satan-tortured for eternity for being a noise-polluter supporter.

    kill yourself fag.

  • @l337pwnage - put those speed limit signs at your cunt channel as part of your masonic satanic rape of the timeline, cause of what funny wrote about speeding ages ago?

    you know it only takes a sane intelligent person about a minute of engaging in such to realise never to do what you do with time.

    leet nothing.

    kill yourself.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky well, you could have just answered, "no", but this works too.

    Reality is actually pretty awesome, you should try it sometime.

  • @l337pwnage - you ignore the truth apparent to your shit4brains scumfucked self from my comments, where i clearly can think coherently and you clearly cannot, as evidenced also by your initial post.

    reality is shit and evil, cause your peado satanic scum cult runs it, against those who created it. and they'll get back in here and wipe you all out. very soon.

    only heartless evil peado's like you think your capitalist non-gaian nightmare is 'awesome'.

    kill yourself scum.

    

  • @l337pwnage - why don't you have a gander at some of the videos i have faved at this here channel, to see the many actually awesome things your sick evil version of reality spends all its sicko time covering up and abusing people for knowing are true, as you are doing here with your idiotic liar comments.

    kill yourself scumbag.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky wow, you must be bipolar, lol.

    Yes, I've looked at some your hippie videos and new age wacko stuff. Some of it is pretty damn funny to watch. Some of those people are on some real bad trips.

    Unfortunately all the videos I've seen so far lack such a fundamental understanding of reality that no credible person wastes their time refuting it, unless maybe you count Penn & Teller's Bullshit.

    /watch?v=2DX3lZ8peBU

  • @l337pwnage - no those videos are selected because they so obviously see reality as it actually is - that's the whole point of scum like you and your evil attitude as if you have a clue, you don't. not about anything.

    obviously i'm not mentally ill - you are, or you wouldn't need to lie about those videos being wrong in their views.

    your child-molester conspiracy sent you here to post mind-control lies of Dead Orgone in the firstplace, it's all you scum ever do.

    kill yourself peado.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky You're ok, its just the rest of the world that is messed up. lol.

    Smart people sometimes believe dumb things, but I don't think you fit that category.

    /watch?v=pqc0roZTZSA

    You're more deluded than even a Scientologist is.

  • @l337pwnage - Scientology exposes evil like you, they know that your kind exist to spread lies and harmful emotional energies, it's a key method you use to keep this reality a mind-controlled frequency-controlled soul-prison.

    I am sane, 'the world' - your capitalist satanic child-molester cults destruction of how 'the world' should be, in 100% insane - or you wouldn't have typed anything you have here for example. Cause you'd have realised it's all insane lies.

    kill yourself scumbag.

  • @l337pwnage - that link also proves how tarded and thick as shit you are, anyone with even a slightly working brain understands and realises that sceintific descriptions of how reality works are not the same as explaining how reality and consciousness can come to exist, how the matter they are composed of can come to exist.

    only 'creationist' type concepts can account for that - intelligent design, not necessarily originally on purpose.

    kill yourself idiot.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky BWWWWAHAHAHAHHA, I guess I should have known you'd be stupid enough to think scientology had anything of value to offer.

    /watch?v=j0ZFow_9vsg

    /watch?v=nl7MRZL44oU

    /watch?v=uB8ZrM3Adxk

    Creationism and ID are dead. They are all the same no matter who makes them up. They all fail every scientific test and provide nothing beneficial to humanity.

    /watch?v=Gzdv2dsPPKw

  • @l337pwnage - see how heartless and evil and stupid you continue to be - in the face of what you know is true, you defile anyway, tricking yourself into thinking there's any way you can escape the karma and eternal hell scum like you get for being that way.

    you understand nothing about even a tiny part of reality, and you think lies you make up will stop what you know to be facts from catching up with you.

    you fucked about with time, liar.

    kill yourself moron.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky  I would pity you, but you deserve what you've done to yourself. Karma is a real bitch, lol.

  • @l337pwnage - oh so now that i spelled out some of exactly why you are so fucked karmically, you still manage to convince yourself that you can somehow make me believe that i am you, or that i did any of the stuff ever i just finished explaining you are doing.

    and you think that any of your blatant conspiracy can be blamed on me why? have i been heartless and a liar? no, so how is it from me when it's your conspiracy it comes out of? moron.

    kill yourself.

  • @l337pwnage - further to that, why do you think i replied you here? it's because you are trying to make it seem this guy is wrong - and you know he isn't - by also defiling women (hormones comment) and using a faked pile of shit (ADD etc) coming from a science that ignores most things about the human mind and soul.

    i have never been that evil in any incarnation etc, i only kill evil scum like you who are that way, i have no karma. you are literally a disease.

    kill yourself.

  • @l337pwnage - 1st video,

    anonymous are either very deluded people, who honestly think they are fighting evil in attacking scientology - but aren't clever or insightful enough (which is worrying given it's easy to figure out) to realise what they attack has fuck all to do with what real scientology says and does at all,

    or they are what you are - extremely evil liars who know they are liars.

    kill yourself peado.

  • @l337pwnage - other videos, same as before.

    what you are doing - is using my actual soul in your falsed Smith jewbag lie. yes you are legion in the multiple-Smith sense, but i am a real 'smith' a real MIB and your dumbfuck conspiracy copied bits of us and made us look evil and irresponsible like you are.

    & your EWS-ish mask is just trying to make it seem like you can teach me or anyone else fuck all!

    btw the real Ron looks like a 'smith' too from some angles of multidimensions..

    kill yourself

  • @l337pwnage - look moron, there's good reasons that some idiots get the "have you considered scientology?" treatment - they know they deserve it, same way you know you'll deserve what's coming for you for being a fucking liar and defiler of souls - look at what you fucking wrote you are trying to abuse people for fighting against soul abuse from noise-pollution, you are not a good person.

    kill yourself scum.

  • @l337pwnage - so is your Age of Pwn working out for you then, are you going to use your 3 balls symbol to later define it historically?

    "one, two...aaand three"

    ky

  • @l337pwnage @l337pwnage

    "clearly he suffers from excessive estrogen production, or ADD"

     I agree with the latter except that using the word "suffers" seems loaded, as I consider the term "ADD" a misnomer.

    Unfortunately there are many traits that are lumped together and called "ADD".The science is poor right now but we do know of the drd4 7r gene that it is positively selected for,IE NOT a disorder.As R vs K exists so does convergent vs divergent attention.EX: salmon vs whale,ant vs tiger

  • @bootlegapples - there's no such thing as ADD etc, they are idiotic terms a dying false type of medical treatment (which has never understood anything about being human from the word go) applies to people who they can't remove the souls of so as to be able to force their personalities to exist only within a very narrow framework of reality-tunnel.

    This society is not suitable for real humans, they invent terms & disorders to cover that fact up.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky I share much of that view...I did identify the term as a misnomer.I use the term (quotated at that) simply as a matter of convenience/familiarity to others.

    Three times I typed out extended thoughts and 3 times scrapped it...I cannot adequately explain myself partially

    anyhow I think linking the biological connection with people's actions helps negate many of the ideological arguments they make ,makes them appear as dogs barking at cars and birds.

  • Oh course it´s a metaphor. He is not talking about noise literally. He complains about the moral rules that try to control us. People try to say to you what you should do or what you should not: this is cracking of whip

    Dumbass people that thinks they can define conceptions of "right " or "wrong" or "good" or "bad" and they try to control every "horse" according your own interests.

    Sorry about my english, there are a lot of detals more that I would like to write but my english does not alow

  • @RODRIGOR300 - dumbass is thinking there is no such thing as wrong.

    here's an example:

    Mayans knew of being beyond right & wrong,

    however - the Europeans coming and destroying civilisations over that way, was wrong. it won't do the indigenous folks there any favors at all to have had that experience. despite their being aware of the higher state of mind that is beyond right and wrong.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky dumbass thinks that bad and good exists in itself, and they dont realize that bad or good is just a subject interpretation.

    so, 99% of us are dumbasses

    have you see before somebody saying like: bad for me, it doest not means that its "the bad", or bad for everyone.

    read spinoza, he kickass

  • @RODRIGOR300 - i'm just going to go with my lack of Spanish or Portugese* being the problem here, as you clearly didn't know what i meant in my comment.

    *i'm guessing based on name and haven't checked, so no offense intended if wrong

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky Hi there, my name is spanish but im from Brazil. Yes, I also think I didnt understand, I just tried. If you want to try to explain again what you mean, ill read.

    bye

  • @RODRIGOR300 - it's not subjective, there are things that are wrong - morals and ethics are important, empathy is important, otherwise the world created is shallow, not fun, only ok for evil people who like to harm and make life hell.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky hi, there are things that is wrong for a group of people, it doestn mean that its "the bad". dont think that what is bad for you, will be for everyone.

    for me its very good eat chicken, otherwise, for the chicken its bad as hell.

    if you make a deep investigation in what you think its bad, you will realize that you consider it bad because YOU or group of people cant deal with something.

    Nieztsche was another philosopher that tought us that there is no bad in itself

  • @RODRIGOR300 - i know what you're saying - but in order for that to be true you have to pretend you know for an absolute fact that it's ok to harm others,

    and i'd guess that is never ok, unless it's in defense or some such.

    if you make an investigation as to why a thing is bad or good, you can explain why it is - from an objective view, within a holistic dynamic system.

    you're presuming there is no karma, no connections between people and events etc.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky

    you have to understand that even if something hurts you, its not "the bad" because your pain feeds another interests.

    an simple exemple:

    I took a money from the bank and put my house as garantee.

    the time limit has expired and I could not pay.

    the bank took my house and it made​me suffer.

    so, for me, the bank is bad, but for the bank, take my home is good. (next part in next post)

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky

    2°part: I just want to acept that expect a "good world" is waste of time, we should understand that people thinks different and theese conflicts gonna happen. to resume: instead of expect a world that follow our rules (thats impossible) know the best way to deal with hostile environments. moralism is the symbol of human immaturity.

    Instead of criticize those who practice what causes you harm, i respect and understand that people dont agree with me. Its make me stronger.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - you're just trying to excuse evil existing, when nice people don't ever require it to exist though.

    the bank example - is different, as in order to have helped you avoid that rule that system works to, someone else would have had to lose their job (or put themselves on the line) - then you'd probably lose your house later again anyway,

    the system itself - is wrong, cause housing should be done differently all along, sustainable and no and low impact. homes are not investments.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky hi there, im not trying to excuse evil, because in my view, bad or good doenst even exist. I mean, if you think you are a nice person, dont forget that to live, you need things, and these things will negatively affect other people indirectly. simple example: to live you need a space that could have been occupied by someone else. life is war, we must accept it, mature and fight naturally and without morality.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - there is a huge big difference to living as no-impact as you can muster & yes it being the case - you are part of the ecosystem if you exist here, of fucking course you are!

    that has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that evil - mal intent, desire to enslave another - the desire to enslave any lifeform not being the same as requiring food air ect, sadism, etc - those things are evil.

    being part of the ecosystem isn't evil! being out of harmony with the ecosystem is evil.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky hi. sou said: "mal intent, desire to enslave another - the desire to enslave any lifeform not being the same as requiring food air ect, sadism, etc - those things are evil"

    you forgot to say that these things doens´t come from nothing. people who want see another in pain, has a internal pain that made this "bad wish". when those people see another in pain, they will feel better, so for them, do "the bad" is not bad, but for victim, its bad.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - if they come from justified revenge - because of a trangression committed against, which itself indeed did come from nothing - was unprovoked etc, then - clearly those circumstances don't apply to what i wrote about anyway.

    if you wish to see another in pain, and they are not evil and haven't harmed you for nothing - then you are evil, there is no other way to see that. you must be evil to act like that is ok,

    so kill yourself amoral fag scum.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - if they come from justified revenge - because of a trangression committed against, which itself indeed did come from nothing - was unprovoked etc, then - clearly those circumstances don't apply to what i wrote about anyway.

    if you wish to see another in pain, and they are not evil and haven't harmed you for nothing - then you are evil, there is no other way to see that. you must be evil to act like that is ok,

    so kill yourself amoral fag scum.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky you dident get the point i think. if you read 'On the Genealogy of Morality' and 'Beyond Good and Evil' , both from nietzsche, im sure will be very clear to you, that we transform in "bad" things that we cant deal with, and its just a subject interpretation. about your wish to kill myself, respect your own opinion so you wont need my agreement.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - you can't excuse evil by claiming that for the evil person committing the evil act it is good for them, that is the sickest stupidest shit i have heard.

    if you are evil you forfeit your rights - if you need to oppress others and so forth, then that is you out of the game so to speak, you get no rights.

    can't have a decent reality if anyone is allowed to exist who desires or requires to oppress others; that is why this reality is an unsutainable nightmare.

    kill yourself idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky hi, just one thing more : the fact that i understand what is going with a person that pratice what you call evil, doenst mean that i behave like them or approve them alright?

    about your insult, i will repeat: respect your own opinion and you wont need my agreement. my goal is not to convince you of anything. If you hate my opinion, i will always respect it. But you should respect yourself so your insults wouldn´t be necessary, because it could never hits me.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - how can you say there's no evil. you're making excuses for causing harm. think it through - i live here right, and i don't want to exist having to worry some sick person will try to harm me and bother me, just cause they want to make other people feel bad etc, i'd have to protect myself from the possibility of that occurance - that is how real people think, we will just get rid of threats to us before they can harm us, as we wish a world without that kind of bad experience.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - right, so when i'm saying to you 'kill yourself' after you show to me in successive comments you are allowing evil or excusing it, what i mean is -

    your mind believeing in the right to exist for those who would just ruin lives etc for nothing, is a threat to me.

    your consciousness holding doors like that open - is a threat to me.

    that kind of excusing evil - is why this world is so fucked up, cause instead of stopping evil people go along with it.

    ky

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky this world is so fucked up, cause instead of try to understand why people want to hurt eachother, we atack them and create more violence for this supposed peace

    instead of insult you because you tryed to insult me, i respect your opinion and understand it even if it can hurts me. but its never mean that i AGREE. I just respect people that have COMPLETE diffrent thinking, and i would never try to transform, what i think, in "THE RIGHT THING" and make war for it like you do.

  • @RODRIGOR300 - evil scum need killing, there's no other way to see it.

    wouldn't be no problems had they been killed as and when they showed up. that's all there is to it.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky So how do you determine whether nor not somebody is "evil scum" when they have just "showed up"? I assume by this you mean when they were born, right? It's hard to see the evil in a child's eyes....maybe you look harder than most....

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky what they feel to make them kill people , is exactly the same felling that you have about them that make your wish to kill them.

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky another example: al qaeda atacked usa and kill thousands people. for USA al qaeda is bad, but for al qaeda, they just defend their own interests, and the bad is the usa. cant you realize that? its impossible different people thinking the same values, same concepts. people are different, not accepting it will make our problem worse. to resume , you are just calling "evil" who doesnt agree with you, thats the point

  • @MannySteinerBIeeky In my side, at least is Nietzsche. read this from 'gay science':

    "I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer"

  • @RODRIGOR300 - maybe you have difficulty understanding what evil is because you do anal sex then? it tends to require switching off a lot of awareness of your body to engage in that.

  • Koyaanisqatsi, great to meet the images of Koyaanisqatsi under the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer.

  • Hahaha! I couldnt concentrate on what he was saying because of the background NOISE, that classical music piece..How ironical..

  • @dirkschuitsma ironical. very.

  • very nice visual juxtaposition! 5 stars! oh wait

  • @bxjam85 me too

  • The narrator's voice is horrendous. Too bad general human laziness destroys such beautiful literature with noise. How ironic.

  • @ikketilfeldig

    If you are so easily perturbed, may I suggest reading?

  • "A fellow who rides through the narrow allies of a populace town with unemployed post horses are cart horses, who keeps on cracking a whip seven yards with all his might; deserves there and then to stand down and receive 5 REALLY GOOD BLOWS WITH A STICK!" rofl...had me cracking up for about a minute in succession....Pure Genius

  • @BonoboBill

    yeah right, rather shut it out than reflect on it... right?

    Wisdom often is a matter of 'whining' to those whom he was disgusted by so much...

  • wow wagner in the background too, how apt!

  • @Jtking3000 How very intellectual of you :-]

  • @John27346 Lets all go smack gum at the mall! And whistle kewl clear channel songs!!!!

  • Nice video, nice music, nice excerpt. I'm always amused at how extremely intelligent people get carried away by the same petty and mundane feelings which drive ordinary people.

  • @gamma235 but "where there is nothing to interrupt, noise will not be so particularly painful"

  • this is a cool video i hate sick people because all they do is make noise some people never get better or they like acting sick and all they do is make noise

  • I love how disparaging old Schope was of people who were stupider than he. "There can be no harm in drawing the attention of the mob to the fact that the classes above them work with their heads, for any kind of head-work is mortal anguish to the man of the street." Pure spiteful brilliance. Rest in peace, my hateful friend.

  • If you like Shopenhauer you may like Mencken as well.

    As for hate I suspect he was able to reflect upon it dispassionately and intellectually as part of the mechanism he called the will to live...though understanding of it he was still adversely affected by the habits of the mob.

    I suspect Shopenehauer would be labeled "ADD" today,which is marked by easy distractability(an effect of lower dopamine levels).

    I can **perfectly** relate to his feeling on it.

  • Yes I believe he once said something along the lines of "Just as one would not expect a great artist to be beautiful, one should not expect a great moral philosopher to be moral." He was evidently just as subservient to the Will as the rest of us.

  • hmm... I sorta disagree. I looked at it more in that Schopenhauer feels he intellegent regardless of the competitive society around him. That he believes intelligence is not leverage over the cognitive abilities of another, but cognition in itself. I assumed that he hates ignorant people because of their inability to think rationally despite his voluntary disinvolvment of putting himself over as mentioned before that someone might do. I can relate perfectly to both actually...

  • yes!!!! thank you soo much for that comment!! now i have something to use that will help me defeat some ignorant motherfucker that mixed schopenhauer and... ANARCHISM????

  • dude this guy and that fucking whipp crack.

    I'd hate to see a stoner version of him man he'd be a phil. monster.

  • I love elitism, taboos just make things all the more intriguing.

  • I want to play this, and read jose ortega y gasset at a town hall mtg lawl

  • Noise you concentrate on isn't noise. That's sound.

  • you like gum smacking bitches? You are crazy.

  • this is a principel of oriental philosophy. Theyself introduce in the prinetal philosophy and knowhow, Schopenhaurs is brilliant.

  • thank you

  • Truth is beautiful.

  • Obama is going to learn from the Singaporian government and ban gum smackers. hahahh I wish!

  • There is a time for gum. It's less often than you think.

  • the greatest writer of all time...that woman he threw down the stairs got what she deserved! haha

    I wonder what he'd make of boom boxes, hip hop music blaring from cars, and chavs and neds playing their awful souunds from their mobile phones on public transport?

  • He would be appalled by the ingenuity with which modern man invents sound-pollution nowadays.

  • We actually need noise to keep thoughts at bay. Because thoughts are not too friendly with the ceaseless consumerism and the barbaric profit-making our culture degenerated itself into.

  • "I wonder what he'd make of..."

    ...the same thing I make of it,an observable manifestation of a palpable disgenic trend...a downward swing in a cycle.

    If biological science doesn't deliver we'll need a harsh global ice age to reverse the trend..'nahm sayin? :)

  • RIP brilliant Schopenhauer!

  • "Where there is nothing to interrupt, noise will not be so particularity painful."

    This is the case for almost all people in the world.

  • i can almost equate the sound of a whip with a car's horn. i have always hated how people use the horn to express anger, it should only be used to prevent a potential accident

  • there is almost no noise at the bottom of the Rhine!!!!

  • Schopenhauer says it better than I ever could.

  • Thanks for that! I was laughing for almost ten minutes straight. I wonder if he was having a little fun, or if he was seriously so bitter about it that he thought they were doing it just to piss him off. I also like his proposed solution. Clearly a superior man has still got something in common with the "beasts of burden among mankind."

  • Noise is a great tool for behaviorist standardization and operant conditioning. Especially with this uncontrolled infestation of ghetto culture streaming past my car daily, I would say the re-emergence of Sodom and Gomorrah is not a pleasant place to exist in.

  • "Where there's nothing to interrupt, noise will not be so particularly painful". These noisemakers (scooters starting near me = my fav objects of hate) have no idea what they destroy.

  • when a problem comes along... you must whip it.

    ~devo

  • oh, that senses would just quit altogether.

  • Noise is torture.

  • Elitist or not, this man is a genius!

  • FUCK! your joking me people, not a single thought that this might be a metaphor, not a glance at that option, you are the whip crackers

  • Replace whip with subwoofer. My thoughts are scrambled every time a car with a pounding subwoofer drives by.

  • did schopenhauer make the monty python first 11 against the greeks? kant, neitzsche and marx did. (marx protested that the greeks goal was offside)

  • yeah, he was there =)

  • that sketch is actually very funny if you've ever read neitzsche - "Neitzsche is protesting to the referee that he has no free will! referee Confusious say - "name go in book"".

  • i also hate NOISE!!!!

  • Imagine he had to endure cell phones.

  • A true and very rare genius.

    Respect.

  • Schopenhauer was a hilarious old crank

  • That he was.

  • This is a good work, and something that needs recognition, but deed it bee attached to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". I urge you to move it.

  • Hail Schopenhauer.

  • "Where there is nothing to corrupt, noise will not be so painful"

    Schopenhauer was not total dry, he could also be funny.

  • Sounds like Schopenhauer would hate contemporary metropolitans as much as I do.

  • He really, really, really, hated whips.

  • The scenes from Koyaanisqatsi go almost perfectly with this recording of Schopenhauer's writing. Props to the elocutionist.
