I'm legit 80 IQ but believe that everyone should read "On the Vanity of Existence" and "On women" by Arthur #Schopenhauer. Short reads. Understandable and appealing to every man: Schopenhauer is viewed as nothing but a cartoon among serious philosophycels, who prefer obscurity.
Where was these essays when I was young? Think at the time Schopenhauer was touted as some edgy anti-christ philosopher akin to #Nietzsche, for edgelord extreme metal listeners who write "DIE GOD DIE" metal lyrics/bad poetry in their mead composition books/on #geocities.
