Part 2/11:
Arthur Schopenhauer, a renowned philosopher of the 19th century, asserted that intelligence and loneliness go hand in hand. He posited that as one's intellect deepens, their ability to connect with the masses diminishes. Conversations that revolve around trivial topics and societal distractions feel like noise to individuals seeking deeper meaning. Schopenhauer famously noted, "A man can only be himself while he is alone." He argued that if one does not appreciate solitude, they cannot truly embrace freedom.
