Date: March 24th, 2018 3:05 PM Author: avocado knife I don't like Benatar or his asymmetry argument. The problem is that optimists will always say that pleasure makes up for pain and pessimists will disagree. That's it, no getting around that. I like Zapffe, even though his 'On the Tragic' was never translated from Norwegian, the Last Messiah is the best philosophical essay I've read. And it is much more effective than Benatar, because he outlines all the ways that humans repress consciousness and how they bubble up into a powder keg of insanity. Zapffe was also much more chill, he basically said "life sucks, don't have kids' and then lived out the rest of his days cheerfully as a mountaineer, author, lawyer etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3927809&forum_id=2#35678227) |

Been waiting a while for this now. I think it was Zapffe's doctoral dissertation and basically an extended version of the Last Messiah.
Here's an article with some good information: https://philosophynow.org/issues/45/The_View_from_Mount_Zapffe
Zapffe had a mountain named after him and his house is a museum you can visit today.

Date: March 24th, 2018 4:33 PM Author: appetizing meetinghouse oh, so ur an acolyte of the pessimist philosophy? do you realize its all done for its aesthetic appeal? its no different than drawing dragons and making movies about dark subjects. its an outlet. its best seen as poetry.
