Thank you for making the show possible. 🙂 Today we talk about the concept of love from multiple different angles.

[@Jeremiahbae]

I studied Nietzsche in high school and struggled to understand half of what philosophize this succeeds in explaining with ease. This dude needs to write a series of books on philosophy.

[@platoniczombie]

As a teenager, you're better off doing intro to philosophy and nothing too much beyond that. There's too much context to grasp as a teenager. I also tried to read Nietzsche in high school. I also struggled haha!

[@freomoodfly]

You make philosophy accessible, I love your work, you make it real.

[@alneo4005]

Love your podcast Sir. Keep it up with you study and knowledge... get to learn a lot from you.

[@Und3rtow420]

I don't always comment, but when I do it's because the channel is golden & you're pretty fuckin funny lol. Keep doing Nietzsche! :P

[@gooseisloose6908]

Absolutely love the passion in your work, good job!

[@johnkim7802]

We live in a world where there are so many views on love and interesting viewpoints. Firstly, many people define love largely on feelings which can constantly change; and even describes love as more of a feeling rather than any sort of commitment within our culture. And with the decline of relationships & marriage along with the increase in divorce, people are increasingly viewing love as more temporary feeling rather than lifelong commitment. Secondly, many people are asking whether they feel loved rather than whether they are actually loved. Thirdly, people are increasingly defining love in very different ways even though many of them are basing it on feelings along with what they hear. In our pluralistic world, many people seem to desire multiple forms of love and seek contradictory versions of love; but also are more willing to change definitions of love based on feeling. Of course, people in general always have contradictory demands and desires; and also apply those views in how they define love. A tendency people have is to seek the most of their desires of love while seeking to give the least amount of actual love!

[@audio.video.disco.]

Thanks, that's the best description of what is love today

[@johnkim7802]

@@audio.video.disco. Absolutely. I guess what I said is a manifesto of sorts!

[@gattac900]

Thank you for all your great Nietzsche content!

[@Anarcath]

Brilliant. Simply, brilliant.

[@regina1860]

I love you for your podcast. What rung is that?

[@ebent3]

Pure gold as usual!

[@Fingersandtoes131]

I only just found your account and I already love it

[@trevormichaelchargois7207]

Found what I’ve been missing in scouring through this mans txt! Simple, accessible and thought provoking! How can I support?

[@javierep1]

Waiting for the next Episode! good job

[@ziakakol]

Pain and suffering upon you my friend Oh and power

[@Joyamrad]

that s awesome and i apreciate ur understanding of Nietzsche and think ur explanation is truly admirable as a nietzsche fan myself

[@alexanderhaynes]

Amazing content. Thank you greatly!

[@riteshchaubey45]

This is the type of content ; I pay my internet bill for ❤️

[@karyncaring]

Loved it! Can’t find the transcript for the one though …

[@steph9265]

Love the Beatles reference haha

[@yannipapadopoulos9485]

Episode 93 for anyone else that was confused

[@fernanturco5067]

Ohh Nietzsche, you are dinamite for sure!

[@yomama847]

Important to note that this episode is mostly about romantic love, not agape love.

[@moopr]

Yeah, isn't this #93? I was listening via Spotify for a dozen or so eps, but I got back into the habit of listening to stuff on youtube.

[@CigaretteCrayon]

FMAB Greed: I love all my posessions!

[@GrbanzoBeanz]

this guys a comedian

[@almostcin6667]

I'm not sure that I understood that last quote from Nietzsche's biography: Are you implying that he believed love (or ultimate love) to be loving one's-self? If it's easy for you to clarify, that would be much appreciated.

[@bryanl.morrison552]

Love one's fate

[@halestorm123]

Because I've said I don't wish to be in a relationship I've been abused and told I'm evil and cold hearted is that fair? When past experiences have taught me that humans can do awful things while claiming to love you

[@hambonefakenamington69]

the only reason i'm scouring the internet is to understand love and romance. it's never fair for people to tell you you're cold and evil for a perfectly comfortable choice you make for yourself, that much i am sure of

[@halestorm123]

No it's not bloody fair when they have absolutely no understanding about Crannial osteotomy headbanging.. absolutely not my problem and never will be

[@lg7480]

Te Amo FN

[@jesseleighgordon33]

Filo Sofia Amor fati

[@moreilearnthefoolibecome]

I love your podcast, and i want to share this episode with my loved ones.. I accept i can be greedy about my loved ones but what kind of greed is such that one want to share it with others? Or love here used is in the wrong context? That means this love needs a rephrasing..

[@Sui_Generis0]

17:07 what kind of box is that it's horrible 😂😂😂

[@allanclark5179]

Widowhood and Narcissists. That's my life.

[@stephanshaw6095]

I would add that Nietzsche's conception of love in other places is quite distinct from this - there are different forms of love. Agape is one of them and Nietzsche in the Gay Science could be convincingly portrayed as endorsing a form of Agape. I would argue that this is what Amor Fati is. Thanks for you work, I enjoy it and contributed some $

[@paulmaggiar8274]

Why complicate things? Love is the liking of something very much. The opposite of love is hatred, the disliking of something very much.

[@randyrustybuts9566]

you cheeky so and so I'm 50 years old and I still look like a Greek god

[@mixerD1-]

You were out just a little bit on the pandemic scourge eh? 😁😁

[@zepkam3943]

21:00

[@farhannaulia2149]

Maybe my soul its too old to accept the the cultural life at these day and too exhausted to understand

[@devilsbitch1000]

Diatima’s answer is such a girl’s answer. She’s like “are we in the right phase of the relationship right now?”

[@Lizzy514]

i cant love

[@jayjohns1391]

Love is a madness induced by a chemical addiction to pherimones. It should be reguarded as a strength of charachter and a blessing indeed to be immune from such a hysterical condition.

[@projectmalus]

Tweak your identity a bit - it's easy - to that of a steward or the like; this gives you access to the power out there. See yourself as a conduit, with selfless giving at one end, drawing in the commons of imagination and wildlife (and enlarging it) with the other end.

[@boothortler3255]

6:00

[@dik9091]

was FD an anti semit or against the religion, for some that might be the same but I don't agree with that.

[@seanpatrickrichards5593]

9:05 People say looks dont last so you should love someone for their soul, but their soul doesnt really last either :P why not marry your dog or best friend of the same gender who's soul you love? (Hypocrites, all of ya!) Here's what ya do: Marry someone for attraction, but tell em its for their soul.. once you have kids: mission accomplished.. let the courts figure out the rest :)

[@hambonefakenamington69]

...oh boy

[@allanclark5179]

They should just read and learn. Comment when they reach 60. Not a year earlier.

[@Dino_Medici]

Porcupine dilemma. Nice $

[@projectmalus]

It's probably his sister's cooking that drove him mad. All that heavy, doughy food at that period in time, no exercise, fumes from coal heating etc. Unless they had a servant take care of the meals?

[@mixerD1-]

🤣🤣

[@DionysiaSapentia]

Lol

[@karlineh.1794]

I have read Thus spoke Zarathustra in the original German for 50 years and I advise you to read it yourself all be it in a good translation because this Guy, whether he knows it or not, reads a bit to much of his iwn world view and ideological aspects into it...

[@James-ll3jb]

This guy doesn't get Nietzsche....

[@shakethatbear11]

You should look into non-western philosophy.

[@silverstreetman]

Philosophize This! Any plans for Sufi philopsphy thx in advance

[@mohammedhamdan6661]

I didn't come here to laugh tbh but you over delivered.

[@christinemartin63]

Nietzsche "sounds great," but ...

[@christinemartin63]

Uh ... no. Love is most often a perfect dovetail of neuroses. Full stop.

[@rodrigodiazcasas384]

"it is not their fault, its cultures fault" You have just found a way to justify every little idiotic human action. No one's assuming responsability for their lives, everything is someone elses responsability.

[@hambonefakenamington69]

but isn't that true, in a way? we're not born with any inherent knowledge of the world. all we are is what we've picked up from people and places. ofc that doesn't justify us blaming culture for our shortcomings, but all i mean is, it's not totally wrong.

[@itsmylife5190]

Worst

[@Ayatollah123]

This episode sucked.
