When you read Nietzsche, you'll recognize the sheer weight of his intellect. It's easy to watch videos on him or read summaries about him but youll really appreciate the scope of his genius when you look at his writings. Its so dense with ideas, each one branching off into expansive, nuanced paths all their own. It's like he traveled in this forest of unexplored ideas, identifying the innumerable shrubbery of concepts therein. Like a pioneer of the mind. You just get the sense that this is a powerful intellect, one that turned these concepts over endlessly in reflection. I swear, no writer I've seen pack more nuance into a single sentence. It's a mental workout really, reading Nietzsche.

An incredibly insightful exploration of Nietzsche's philosophy! This video does a great job of breaking down complex ideas into digestible content. Nietzsche's perspective on overcoming nihilism and finding personal meaning in a subjective world is as relevant today as it was during his lifetime. The exploration of his life events and how they shaped his philosophy provides a deeper understanding of his work. Keep up the great work, Pursuit of Wonder!"

I’m currently reading Beyond Good and Evil as well. His writing style sometimes requires me to read the page over again. He’s just saying so much I have to make sure I’m absorbing it all. It’s weird.

Obviously it doesn't apply to everyone. He was a Marxist and wanted government control. People like me on the other hand, we LOVE our freedom.

[@arpitkumar4525]

@@rohilthomson That's not what Sartre meant. He said freedom to choose comes with the burden of taking responsibility of the consequences of your choices. That's why freedom is sometimes so paralyzing. As a school student I was told that my only responsibility is to study well and get good grades. That was very relieving. I didn't had to make any choices and was content. Of course some people have a strong sense of purpose. I envy them. Some people are so brave. They do not fear the consequences their freedom of choice brings upon them. I like this quote by Mance Rayder from Game of Thrones "The Freedom to make my own mistakes is all I ever wanted" I like to think of freedom this way too. It gives me confidence to make mistakes.

I believe that many things that Nietzsche said aligns perfectly with what David Goggins, Jocko, Bruce Lee and others are doing and saying. Without suffering there is no growth, and i am not meaning to cut your hand off, no, i mean get out of the comfort zone, face your fears, discipline yourself, work hard and stay consistent. Suddently, once you've done that, most of your problems will get solved and you will become the person you dreamed of. I've done that myself, everything they say it's true, so get after it!

There's no such thing as the greatest philosopher. All philosophers have something to offer from Plato down to Mainlander (who declared God's death before Nietzsche).

[@danielvlee]

Nietzsche is one of those rare minds that can excite youthful exuberance, but requires many decades of adult experience of _applied intention and failure_ to understand well enough to _feel_ Nietzche. He was not a narrow, shallow, fearful academic, filled with more insecurity than virtue, so no attention need be paid on maintaining skepticism of the author's sincerity. It's another case of proving the prolific value of virtue in unexpected sources.

I discovered Nietzsche when I was 19 through a great friend of mine. Until today, this great man remains the strongest influence in shaping who I am now and who I would hopefully evolve into for the years to come. His remarkable prediction of what would befall our culture as the morality structure crumbles is even more accurate today.

Dear "Illusion", I just saw your comment; however, I hope the reply finds you well. My answer might be somehow unexpected. At the age of 16, I do not recommend that you dive too deeply into any particular philosophical worldview. At that age, there is a risk that whatever interests you might result in radicalization of your views for many years to come. Instead, I recommend you start reading about the most general views about philosophy. For example, start with the novel "Sophie's Choice" and read it patiently before deciding to learn all about a particular philosopher. I hope it helps, all the best, AMG @@illusion7929

[@nova2560]

How old are you now

[@quantummath]

Dear "Illusion," Again, I just realized that you had already replied (6 months ago). Better late than never, yet sorry about the delay. I would love to know how it went with your pursuit of Nietzsche and philosophy in general. Regarding that, I should add the following: Learn about psychology, economics, and to some degree, sociology, in addition to the philosophy you learn. The mentioned three disciplines lie within the scope that philosophy establishes. This example might be helpful: If the fundamental laws of physics are the "philosophy", electrical and mechanical engineering would be the psychology and economics resulting from those laws. Different economic views, be it socialism, capitalism, supply-side economics, etc., are similar to, e.g., your cellphone or your car that resulted from those engineering disciplines. Understanding philosophy without connecting it to the subsequent natural links of psychology, economics, etc., can easily put us at the risk of vague generalities without proper connection to the real world. I hope that helps. Cheers. @@illusion7929
