Absolutely the best explanation of Nietzsche I've heard on KZbin.

[@anwarrouane8541]

Most underrated podcast/show on yt.

I don't get it either , maybe 'cuz he doesn't cycle pictures or some visuals whilst he's talking

@@john_ipu8721 Because the majority of people don't have an intrest in learning philosophy.

[@rabbychan]

@@drsunnyjoker4816 they do have an interest, the real problem is the attention span of people, lol. They are interested if u can educate them about philosophy in a 30 sec tiktok video.

As a recent college grad who’s in between jobs, this episode was so helpful. I’ve been listening to you since I was 15 and you never fail to make me think about what it all means. I love this show so much, thank you for another incredibly thoughtful episode 💕

[@Spacexioms]

Being in the military forces you to be conscious in a high stress situation. I always liked Nietzsche’s approach to the biggest problems we humans have to deal with. Applying his mindset has helped me tremendously in so many areas of my career. Thank you for this upload sir, needed a moment to think about who I REALLY am and what values really matter in my life. Props to those who keep pushing and striving through their trials of life, keep it up warriors!

[@VladVexler]

Vlad here I'm a philosopher. This is a wonderful podcast: fresh, honest, helpful. There is so much to like here. A small correction and then compliments. Nietzsche quite certainly didn't oppose art to truthfulness. The opposite, what he means when he says WE NEED ART LEST WE PERISH FROM THE TRUTH is that certain truths can only encountered in art without them breaking us. The rest of the discussion is excellent, allowing for just how complex the balance is between Nietzsche's insistence on the tragic element in life AND the psychological goal of The Eternal Recurrence / Amor Fati - to strive for a life in which you regret none of the significant events in your life. Great work!

[@OrdnanceLab]

Excellent video. Been reading Nietzsche for going on 2 decades. But your summary is fresh and original.

[@justinshanahan1682]

Now I understand why I have never had a "bad" day, only days I've enjoyed more than others. I didn't learn the term Amor Fati until today, yet, I live my life that way. ❤️

[@carlosnavarro5682]

First time listening your podcast. I'm not a native English speaker. By the way the talk was well clear and understandable for me. Appreciate your work. Amor fati is a system or game where you can provide a meaningful to the things around us based in our freedom of self perception that makes every life intense unique and valid at least for ourselves.

[@viorelasilitra2484]

Thank you so much for what you do, forever grateful that you exist and do all this work for us.

I’ve listened to this podcast again and again for years on end now and it’s gave me some of my best and funniest insights. Thanks for showing me how to be less wrong.

Aw, fantastic that you've put sections on the timeline!!

[@sushicat1666]

I wanna thank you for making the things you do, i love your style of rethoric and it helps me to organize my own thoughts at times. I find myself in a struggle to comphrehend the different world views of people around me, Thanks to your podcast i will try to listen more to people, instead of a constant dowloading my own thougths into the deeper understanding of things! i hope you will have a nice day!

[@Drew-tr5cd]

Hey Steven, Anxiety is the Dizziness, and this episode, were both deep comforts upon losing my job in 2 very different times and places. I just wanted you to know how your work deeply helps folks like me on the literal day of chaos that is "losing one's job." ❤

How it going bro.

[@collinmeier1012]

One of the best episodes yet- keep it up, good sir!

[@mountainmanchuck]

Perfect timing!!! You are a godsend, dude

[@jonathonbellesorte2995]

You are truly an underrated G.O.A.T. in my opinion.

[@stewfire4916]

Nice episode. However, wisdom is the ultimate absolute value that you can never have too much of, as underlined by Nietzsche and this show. Checkmate Nietzsche!

Been anxiously waiting for this new episode. Made my day 👍 Thank u for what u do

[@davidfayfield6594]

No need to await anxiously, just await

[@AceHardcoreGaming]

I've wanted to embrace these thoughts. To love life, and to accept one's failures and suffering. But it's hard when it feels like you've made the biggest mistake of your life. And you doubt that you'll ever be as happy again.

[@HulittyJing]

I always cry listening/reading about Nietzsche's ideas ;u;

[@yamaguchimediaservices]

Interesting. Why is it?

[@HulittyJing]

@@yamaguchimediaservices I'm not sure, but I think it's because he speaks of a path to freedom that leads you to a dynamic state of peace. No matter what happens, it will all be well because it's your life and you will find YOUR way to make it all well.

[@yamaguchimediaservices]

@@HulittyJing His philosophy has a strange dynamic on people's mind, at least some of them who can really understand it. Or e better word: conjecture it. Enforcing. Thank you for your answer and enjoy your the travel! Parabéns!

@@yamaguchimediaservices Thank you so much for your kind words!!!

[@billc.ponder5716]

Fantastic!

[@Dismemberment.Montana]

Love the content! I am from spotify and thought I would subscribe to the youtube channel as well. It is amazing how underrated this show is!!! I thought it was kinda dry at first but after getting through the first couple episodes I have taken a strong liking to your dry and on the nose humor. Stay safe and remember that you are appreciated for all your hard work!

[@andrewcullen7671]

I've never thought of Schopenhauer as pessimistic. It seemed to me he was directly referencing Buddhism (or Stoicism) in the idea that, no matter what you want, when you get the thing you want, you will want something else. That the drive to acquire isn't about the stuff acquired, but the drive. That part of human nature is to desire things you don't have, and if you constantly entertain that desire you will often get what you wanted but it will never actually make you happy. Buddhism has made me happier and healthier because I understand that the desire to attain something and the act of attaining it do not lead to satisfaction, and the only way to achieve satisfaction is to stop wanting things you don't have. That doesn't mean to stop trying, nor is it an excuse for laziness, and people who look at it that way are just looking for excuses to give up. The key is The Middle Way.

I'm beginning to think that "nothing is good or bad [or real or imaginary, or absolute or relative, or authentic or inauthentic, etc.] but thinking makes it so." This after listening to about twenty of these episodes.

[@shaman9]

how is this channel not bigger. great work

[@Boggsy.]

Thankful for what this podcast has done for me over the last three-or-so years, especially during those longer days in the warehouse.

[@projectmalus]

I was listening to a science show earlier that talked of the bioluminescence of deep sea creatures, how creatures took advantage of this to put on quite a display. Some fish use blobs of mucous with the bioluminescent ingredient to attract mates, a series of blobs in a line showing the trysting spot, different species using different spacing. Otherwise the light show would attract predators and be counterproductive. Thanks.

[@djetinjstvo_u_boji]

What do you think, would Nietzsche agree with the saying "the end justifies the means"?

[@bertramblge3845]

I just found out, that I almost spent 2500 minutes listening to this show on Spotify...

[@DJSTOEK]

[@hanskung3278]

The assumption of the vid is humans create meaning, which in the face of death is absurd. I believe meaning is inherent in the world, ie, it's ultimate goal is the Absolute.

[@TheDanksNewGroove]

18:43 roasted

[@hanskung3278]

If you listen to Nietzsche then God is Dead, so you have to create your own meaning, why?, because we can't stand the void, but if Nietzsche got it wrong and God is alive and well, then meaning is built into the universe and human existence has a ultimate goal= eternal life.....

The creative nothing: “The Unique and Its Property “,Max Stirner, 1844/2017 Landstreicher translation. Few ( Nietzsche, Marx, Dilthey etc) have recovered from “Saint Max”. Neither good or bad, no morals. Shameless Max upsets all apple carts.
