"‘We will gradually become indifferent to what goes on in the minds of other people when we acquire an adequate knowledge of the superficial and futile nature of their views. of the paltriness of their sentiments, of the perversity of their opinions, and of the number of their errors…,’ argued Schopenhauer, a leading model of philosophical misanthropy." — Sep 06, 2024 05:22AM
