## Doomer

* life is meaningless
* the world is doomed because of humanities greed
* pessimistic
* internet generation
* constant flow of every information possible
* regression of religion

## Arthur Schopenhauser
* philospher of pessimism
* life if full of unavoidable pain, meaninglessness
* the only reason for living is the irrational need of selfsustainment

### ways to deal with the meaninglessness of art

* Asceticism
* gain control over the ceaseless greed of wanting things
* it is really hard to do though
* Art and philosophy
* share truth through art
* while creating art using pain as motivation will create wonder

## Friedrich Nietsche
* life is meaningless
* religion did not help dealing with life anymore
* nihilism is the only reasonable belief
* don't go with the flow
* it will be harder, but you will be your own master, and that is worth it

### why not to just suffer in the hopelessness
* caving into the pain is infinitely worse than trying to overcome the suffering
* the power of a will is determined by how much resistance, pain and torture it endures and by how much it turns that to its advantage
