Both Nietzsche and Schopenhauer said that marrying and/or getting children means the death of intellect, talent, originality, etc.

This is something I've noticed a long time ago. People who attach themselves to a female in some way become unfunny, unproductive, unoriginal etc.

This is a decent cope to deal with the fact that I'm a 25 year old virgin. Do you agree?

But people who want women dont value those traits. They value women, and those things only have value in reference to getting women (at least in the most extreme of cases). It is quite silly to say they are unproductive, since they are clearly producing to get a women, whether it is productive consumption, productive communication, etc.

i noticed since getting into a stable relationship i'm far more productive and constant in my output.

whimsical moments of "inspiration" in the form of flings and passing limerence are a distraction, everything feels pertinent and important but in reality you're just blathering about.

long periods of loneliness were also stable moments of productivity and it is true that at times the intense pain can be channeled into your work, but you can just as easily develop your craft to tap into those feelings without being miserable and alone.

my best work has come from this pleasant period of romantic stability.

Yes but the value of that consumed time is actually just as valuable as your time for meditation . A family gives you a constant opportunity to teach. Teaching is one of the greatest ways of learning. Having children allows you to dispense your knowledge and watch as it grows within a younger you. Having this third perspective and shaping the mind of a child is enlightening in ways studying and reading could never be.

Also the management of the whole family requires a man to be a master of a moral structure and forces to him to understand each player in his little enterprise well, lest it falls apart in flames.

No greater joy have I had than talking philosophy, god and politics with the fresh minds of my children. Furthermore never have I had this level of focus and motivation to sharpen my mind and soul.

His conclusion is a life-affirming Christianity, one in which we bear the personal responsibility to fight against despair. Academic atheism (Hegelianism) and Christendom's chosen ideology (in Kierk's case, Lutheranism) both lack the requisite vitality to stand against critical life-experiences, which trigger the now-cliché existential crises. Thus, Christianity should be a private and deeply personal relationship with God, one which upbuilds throughout life. But Kierk also has a few weird life-denying passages (in a Christian ascetic way, not in the faithless hedonistic way described in the Diapsalmata) that he throws in sometimes. In any case, Kierkegaard believed the total opposite of the oft-quoted nihilistic "hang yourself or don't, you'll regret it either way" perspective. That line was spoken by a character, not the author. Kierk fiercely believed in the importance of the will and that one's choices informed their character (not vice-versa).

He spent decades of his life trying to answer that question, anon. If you're interested, you can read Fear and Trembling and especially The Sickness unto Death: in the former, he outlines his oft-misunderstood "teleological suspension of the ethical" with regard to Hegelian universalism; in the latter, he explains the stages of despair before equating his despair with Christian sin. Both are relatively short books that benefit from the reader's immersion in the then-current philosophical context (esp. German idealism and British empiricism), but can stand alone with some effort. Finally, he describes how a personal Christianity should be lived in Works of Love, which is a longer but more accessible text.

nietzsche actually idealizes having children in the gay science

>> No.15967272

Having a good relationship with your wife and children is pretty whitepilling. So I guess it makes it harder to be an edgy faggot if you're a writer or something. But I'd say for normal people wife and kids teach you more about yourself and life than anything else.

where in nietzsche does he say this? it sounds like something he would say (considering his preference for solitude) but hes also talked about why antinatalism is flawed
