Monism, Insect Eggs, and Excrement in a Jar

[Reconstructo]

Schopenhauer offered his readers a grim clarity.

He compared a genius writing to an insect laying its eggs -- then both are able to die in peace.

And: Corpses are the excrement of the species. Philosophers are motivated by aggression / irritability. The brain is the tool of the gonads and belly.

Then the monism of his thing-in-itself. The world as desire / force / will / need/ hunger / itch.

He founded his system upon the Irrational. Nietzsche is arguably just a twist on Schopenhauer.

I disagree with him on many points, but his value, for me, is undeniable.

Nietzsche in 3 words: "God is Fred."
Schopenhaur in 9: "Life sucks unless you're a genius or a saint."

It takes a genius to write these words!

I don't know what you mean exactly, but I like your signature (the couplet).

thanks...

Oh,..when i meant the 'words' it means the words written under quotation which, was referred to. I found it very interesting and amusing. A derivation out of that formulation is......that it will logically follow, that a genius is ultimately an excrement!! ...lol. And that, only a genius can figure it out, i say.

This made an expression come to my mind: Holy Sh**
