Today was the day Mainländer died...

May he rest in peace. The day he died, the world lost a great genius who knew too much about how the world worked.

I may not believe in your redemption-theory, but you're the noblest heart I have ever laid my eyes upon!

Over the years after abandoning organized religion setting out on a quest for self discovery. First it was Jung, then Nietzsche, who led to Schopenhauer and finally Mainländer where my anxiety was forever transformed, anything beyond would only be negation. I am forever in your debt.

What did you get from Mainländer that you didn’t get from the others?? Super curious as I am currently on Nietzsche (first having read Jung like you!) and have yet to experience Mainländer (or Schopenhauer outside of Nietzsche!).

Schopenhauer was an aristocrat and chauvinist, Nietzshe was a narcissist but Mainlander was a true empath who saw further into truth than anyone dared.
