If a man can be judged by his writing alone (and it's Substack, so what else can we judge each other with?), I think you're a brilliant asshole... And so on; and so forth.

If that makes me an asshole, too - so be it.

Truth gives women the ick (paraphrasing Schopenhauer)

I'm joking about Schopenhauer's essay On Women: https://www.theabsolute.net/misogyny/onwomen.html it isn't very long and contains plenty of truth. Nietzsche praised Schopenhauer early in his work, he is more critical in his later work. I like some of what both of them said; I haven't read Hegel (and don't really plan to) but I've heard some stuff I like from secondary sources regarding his work, more stuff I don't really like. I usually don't enjoy reading philosophy (I say after posting a philosophy essay) so I don't do it that much.

I like your confidence; on the question of monogamy versus polygamy I remain unsure, especially if we're using Schopenhauer's frame of "natural" versus "unnatural."
