lies.
This allows for determinism. This at first blush is unsettling, i am not in control, only like a robot foollowing a program, pathetic and impotent.
i suspect the reasoon thatt this is al all unsettling is more fundamentl than a loss of pkowerf; its truly because of the loss of a familiar fact and tgis alone is the unsettling element: our familiar perception is that we are in control and free to make choices. Therefore suddenly losing this freedom to Schopenhauer is unsettling because we lose a familiar thing. The advantage of tgis explanation is that if one accepts that freedom was only an illusion (at least according to Schopenhauer ) than nothing actual is lost, only a perception, which isnt a loss at all.
i suspect likewise that the unsettling feeling which comes from realljizing ones mortality is the feeling of losing a familiar thing. Likewise for amputation and hairloss.
