" . . . Since I do not admit that a person without bias exists, I think the best that can be done with a large-scale history is to admit one’s bias and for dissatisfied readers to look for other writers to express an opposite bias. Which bias is nearer to the truth must be left to posterity. " - Russell hated Idealism.

5:10 It's not that he emphasized different aspects of the critique than those emphasized by Fichte and Hegel, but that he was acquainted with the original edition of the book which is completely different from the second edition which Fichte and Hegel read.

12:26 Schopenhauer wrote an Essay "On Suicide" in "Parerga and Paralipomena", in which he clearly states, why suicide is not an option. You can clearly see, whenever someone brings up this Argument, that he hasn't studied Schopenhauer in Detail.

Optimism is dual to pessimism: Duality:- two sides of the same coin. The glass is half full of water -- optimist, the glass is half empty of water -- pessimist, dual perspectives. Noumenal (rational, analytic) is dual to phenomenal (empirical, synthetic) -- Immanuel Kant.

Schopenhauer was not a believer of mystism as suggested, nor he appeals to mystics. He just illustrates what hes found philosophically with Indian ideas. Schops was an atheist, by the way!
