1. was a strange little man.

but his writings on ethics are monumental.

2. Schopenhauer > Kant

'Tell you what - why don't you start by assuming you don't exist and see where that gets you.' -Meli (Mariel Hemmingway) in 'Creator' (1985) after listening to a philosophy professor who asked 'how can we even know we are here, having this discussion?'

3. was a real pissant who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach about the raisin' of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed....
