Schopenhauer explains why women don't value brains in men

Because a man's intelligence cannot be passed down to offspring. According to Schopenhauer, intelligence comes from the mother and character comes from the father. So women look for men of reliable character, not high intelligence, since a woman's offspring will have her own intelligence anyway.

So to improve the human race eugenically requires the breeding of the most intelligent females with the most noble males.

>With our knowledge of the complete unalterability both of character and of mental faculties, we are led to the view that a real and thorough improvement of the human race might be reached not so much from outside as from within, not so much by theory and instruction as rather by the path of generation. Plato had something of the kind in mind when, in the fifth book of his Republic, he explained his plan for increasing and improving his warrior caste. If we could castrate all scoundrels and stick all stupid geese in a convent, and give men of noble character a whole harem, and procure men, and indeed thorough men, for all girls of intellect and understanding, then a generation would soon arise which would produce a better age than that of Pericles.

So stop getting pissed off at women for not valuing your intellect as a man. It's not in their nature to do so. A highly intelligent man is like an end in himself, meaning his role is to use his intellect to advance the world. So is a woman of noble character; her character cannot be passed on, so her role is to be as noble as she can for the betterment of the world.

Schopenhauer was a dilettante, a trust fund baby and a plagiarist. The only woman this guy has ever bagged were prostitutes and all of his opinions regarding women stem from prostitutes only.

Research suggests that genes deciding intelligence are mostly on the X chromosome. Intelligent men can have intelligent daughters, who once again can birth intelligent sons.

You sound jelly and bitter. U butthurt, bro, that Schopenhauer was richer and smarter than you can ever dream of being?

You’re retards who never read him. He was wrong about this though. Men and women get their intelligence from both parents equally.

You do understand that if we pointed out flaws on Marx you would be calling it an ad hominem, right? So there you have it.

This is exactly the sort of mind that gravitates toward him. I did my master’s thesis on Schopenhauer’s plagiarism. His moral philosophy has always been amateurish at best and whatever stuck out was handed to him by his friend F. Max Mueller who traveled to India and translated many Indian texts.

They wouldn't have the intelligence or necessary philosophical background to understand Schopenhauer even if they did read him. Maybe they could glean some stuff from the Parerga and Paralipomena, but surely they wouldn't get the point of World as Will and Representation, or of The Fourfold Root.

And you probably can't even explain how his moral philosophy is derived from Kant's distinction between the sensible world and the thing in itself.
