David and Tamler tackle the topic chosen by our beloved Patreon supporters in the first VBW madness tournament – Schopenhauer.

Plus, David has Tamler do a blind ranking of movie directors.  Arthur Schopenhauer [plato.stanford.edu] Arther Schopenhauer [iep.utm.edu] The Essays of Schopenhauer: Studies in Pessimism [full-text from gutenberg.org]
