But in Croton, he did some pretty dubious things. He gathered a group of followers who obeyed strict rules: no meat, no fish, not even beans. They stayed silent for years… and treated him like a god. To them, he was divine. To others, a dangerous fanatic. That’s why Pythagoras was not just a philosopher. He was a cult leader. Thu, 02 Oct 2025 14:01:04 +0000 Einzelgänger Pythagoras Was a Cult Leader 0:25 no 13 HbdWQUeiasQ https://youtube.com/watch?v=HbdWQUeiasQ Pythagoras wasn’t just a philosopher. He ran a cult. Its members lived together, gave up their personal possessions, and followed strict rules. But what happened if someone broke the rules… or tried to leave? They were declared dead. Literally. A gravestone was raised in their name, and the community cut them off completely, as if they no longer existed. That’s a nice way to say goodbye, isn’t it? Thu, 02 Oct 2025 14:00:35 +0000 Einzelgänger How Pythagoras Punished His Followers 0:26 no 14 75SDLEFOKc0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=75SDLEFOKc0 Why did Schopenhauer hate life? These are five reasons: 1) For him, suffering is life. Illness, pain, aging. It's unavoidable and... it only gets worse until you die. 2) Behind it all lies the Will: an irrational force that drives our endless desires. It keeps us stuck in a cycle of misery. 3) And those desires he talks about? They never stop. The moment one is satisfied, another pops up. 4) Only pain is real. Pleasure is just the brief absence of pain. So, in the end, pain is all we have. 5) Life is eating or being eaten. Just look at nature. Animals and people are feeding on each other. So, that's why Schopenhauer hated life.

If you’re a nihilist, nothing we do has significance. There’s no inherent good or bad. No ultimate truth. Just… nothing. And that thought can crush you. It breeds despair, pessimism, and even depression. “What am I even doing here?” you may think. Or perhaps you escape by drowning yourself in pleasures and distractions; anything to avoid the void. So, what do you think? Are you a nihilist? #nihilism #nihilist #meaningless Wed, 17 Sep 2025 09:35:35 +0000 Einzelgänger Are you a nihilist? 0:32 no 16 dCf_U0ZRpK0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=dCf_U0ZRpK0 What happens when God is no longer the source of meaning? For centuries, religion has given us answers about life, purpose, and the universe. But as Nietzsche observed, in the modern West, religion has lost its grip. “God is dead,” he declared. And with God gone, we face a void. No higher purpose, no afterlife, no divine plan. So… what’s the point of living? Nietzsche warned of this danger: nihilism. When belief in God collapses, people risk swinging to the other extreme—the belief in nothing. Mon, 15 Sep 2025 12:06:45 +0000 Einzelgänger Nihilism: The belief in nothing 0:39 no 17 H1f3PyJi9_o https://youtube.com/watch?v=H1f3PyJi9_o Have you been feeling anxious because of the news lately? Henry David Thoreau, the philosopher who lived in a cabin in the woods, wasn’t a fan of the news. To him, it was just noise. Read about one robbery, one shooting—you’ve read about them all. So why obsess over every single one, especially in places we’ll never go? Thoreau asked: does the news give us knowledge… or just distraction? So let me ask you: is the news closer to knowledge… or to noise? Sat, 13 Sep 2025 09:35:56 +0000 Einzelgänger Does today's news make you anxious? 0:34 no 18 SxRdPJhN92E https://youtube.com/watch?v=SxRdPJhN92E Ever noticed how the news always feels a bit… exaggerated? Philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer nailed it when he said: “Exaggeration of every kind is essential to journalism. All journalists are, by nature, alarmists—like little dogs that bark at anything that stirs.” And if you scroll through YouTube news channels today… isn’t that exactly what you see? Titles and thumbnails designed to alarm us, to dramatize every event. So ask yourself: is this really news… or is it just one big show?
