Jacob McMillan, a philosophy graduate focused on Mainländer and Schopenhauer, dives deep into the complexities of existential thought. He explores the nuanced interpretations of pessimism, contrasting determinism with notions of freedom. The conversation shines a light on fatalism, free will, and the intriguing concept of a 'permanent now.'
