So I love reading writers who have unusual worldviews. Among science fiction I can think of 2 writers like these

Philip K. Dick with his paranoia mixed with spiritual psychosis.

Olaf Stapledon with his cosmic philosophy influenced by Spinoza and mixed with transhumanism.

In both of them their worldviews are of major influence on their writing. What are other examples of this?

If you look at the species who live hundreds of years like turtles, greenland sharks, bowhead whales, red sea urchin etc. They're all aquatic, among the terrestrial animals humans are already at the peak of possible lifespan, elephants have roughly the same lifespans as us and there's no species that live longer apart from tortoise. Why animals that can potentially live 200+ years happened to exist only in sea?

I've never seen anyone else in Japanese history having even close to this long of a name. Usually they all had "Personal name" + no + "Clan name". Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa no Maro having a long full name is unusual and he wasn't even that important compared to other aristocrats so I'm curious.

After the Battle of Mount Shigi the clan Mononobe ceased to exist with all it's members being either dead or changing their surnames and fading in obscurity. Meanwhile clan Nakatomi despite being their main ally seemingly didn't suffer much and only 58 years later(a short time from the point of history and traditional societies) had their comeback with Nakatomi no Kamatari(later known as Fujiwara no Kamatari) being one of the two chief masterminds behind the Isshi incident which overthrew and destroyed clan Soga.

I know that Nakatomi were a priestly clan unlike the Mononobe which were a military clan. This explains why they didn't suffer losses at the Battle of Mount Shigi but why Soga didn't bother suppressing them despite their power? Were they afraid that destroying a priest family is a bad optics and would bring discord among the governed people and clans?

I've just been thinking, like is 1 litre of beer for elephant is too small to be noticed and an equivalent of 10 ml for human(I'm only talking only about pleasure, not physiology). So like if I drink 1 litre of beer an elephant should drink 100 litres of beer to feel the same pleasure that I've felt or would his pleasure be 100 times stronger due to being able to consume so much of it?

I struggle with violent urges and so I play RPGs(the only genre of games I play) as a stress relief from them. I always play the most evil way possible but noticed that many games try to make the evil path something more morally grey instead of an insane murder hobo and I hate it because it makes the game less relatable to me. Or other problems like being forced to do good choices or evil path being censored. So what are some good games where you can play as an absolute apocalyptic evil without any ambiguity?

I really love Lazarillo de Tormes, it's so straight to the point and it makes it feel so real, honest and primal. No moral judgements, no "woe is me", no sentimental messages about love or something like that, no character development or exploration of the "inner world". Just a homeless young guy who uses street smarts to survive at any cost in our brutal world by scamming everyone.

I don't remember where I've seen this title but I immediately got intrigued because Lightning Returns sounds very mysterious, badass and unusual when you don't know that Lightning refers to a character here. Like what lightning? Why it dissapeared and why it returned? Lightning returning sounds epic. I knew absolutely nothing about jrpg and final fantasy back then because very few people play them in my region and so I was intrigued and kept thinking about this title, learnt that it's the third game in the trilogy, looked up gameplay and visuals of the first one and I've liked it, bought it and enjoyed it. Was a bit disappointed learning that Lightning just referred to a character.

No misogyny but I'm lowk gay and love hypermasculine men and I'm myself pretty masculine(I work as a truck mechanic) but I love to submit to men who are stronger than me. Anyways I don't really like anime and manga but I always liked this specific genre of insane battle manga where the focus isn't on underage cute waifus but on screaming roided men who crash everything and end up in insane and comical situations afterwards. There's no Western alternative to this genre or anywhere else, it's unique. The Western action movies about badass men are all live-action so they all have very limited physiques. The only videogames about roided insane men are fighting games without much plot. There are books about them like Conan but books are without pictures of their physiques.

So I've noticed that this genre of manga/anime about roided men have seriously died out. Manga/anime male main characters all are very slim and calm nowadays. Same for most other male characters and this specific genre of manga have stopped getting new titles. Even Jojo seriously toned down the musclehead and I hate it very much.

Psychological Pessimism

Anthropocentric pessimism centered on the analysis of human psyche and it's contradictions. Core theme - suffering is the fundamental(base) state of human psyche due to mortality, meaninglessness, impermanence and desires. Human beings are in constant struggle to suppress this inherent knowledge.

Transcendent(Buddhist) Pessimism

Pessimism that centres on the direct non-conceptual insight into the reality of unsatisfactoriness of all conditioned phenomenona. Advocates meditation, asceticism and ethics as a way to understand truth and reduce suffering.

The oldest form of pessimism and had a great influence on all the other groups of pessimism.

I've used the Wikpedia list of philisophical pessimists as a source for the list of notable pessimists though I understand that this list can be controversial. Would be glad to hear your thoughts on my attempt to classify them into groups.
