Studying Nietzsche since 2021 or so has taught me so much about myself, and also helps me with battling my OCD and autism. I've meditated on my own inner demons and how they probably arose, and now I'm doing the same with my values and views, and how they formed as well. It has been an absurdly enlightening experience and I shed so much light on trying to understand my own questioning of things no one else seems to question. Like why are values like "truth" and "equality" seen as unassailably moral, and their antitheses as the ultimate evil. Truth and equality are obviously good things, but only when they directly benefit and help real people. I always questioned why so many people are assholes and even sadists in the name of Truth and Equality in their most abstract forms, and are only seen as heroes because they hurt people who are on the side of "Ignorance" and "Inequality," not because they help people on the side of Truth and Equality. I read Geneology of Morals in 2022 and never before have I felt so validated. That experience has been a net positive on my outlook on life.

Certainly, the pre Platonic Greeks were not fools bereft of a capacity to infer logically that particular actions were more important than others in achieving desirable outcomes specifically because of their inception from truth. There is continued admiration for the "trickster" within many cultures variously through the world despite the ubiquity of Christianity. Dare I say even more admiration, recently, through the anonymity of the internet.

Do you think Nietzsche believed that the origin of "slave morality" began with the ancient Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato, whose distaste for the Homeric myths fueled their pursuit for objective truth? Or do you think that Nietzsche believed that "slave morality originated more from Judeo-Christian morality?

As Nietzsche said, Christianity is the platonism of the masses. Christianity (and Judaism too, see Gnostic Informant’s channel for that) took heavy inspiration from Hellenic philosophy and religion. It continued this emerging idealist worldview of the Platonists, but also in many ways also refined and perfected it.

Nietzche indeed broke the mold that came after Aristotle and Plato, but I still disagree on his view of Slave Morality being from other culture. Every culture that survived had Master and Slave morality, usually Slave morality was to deal with your own, children and women, while Master morality was for conflict, war, hunting, etc. with other tribes. Christianity started in Slave morality but had to develop Master morality to survive, and it is based on Classic values. Also, Some classic Gods were associated to values of purity and humbleness.

I think that this idea that Plato was a fundamentally new thing is questionable. Plato took ideas from pre-Socratics like Pythagoras and Parmenides. Also, some scholars argue that Platonism was a continuation and refinement of very ancient religious traditions found in the great river valley civilisations such as the Indus Valley, Sumeria and Egypt. Plato studied in Egypt if I am not mistaken.

I have a philosophy that no one likes. Who am I? I'm a nobody, poor, uneducated, introverted and cynical as hell. I was lucky, my family read books. Lots and lots of books. Our ramshackle old house was filled with books of all kinds. So when I started going to school, I was already way ahead of the other students. Did it help me? Not really, I was still broke and had to go to work very early in my life. But, I never gave up on reading and I read about anything that interested me and that is mostly history. History is real, it's something that had definitely happened. Now it's true that history is written by the victors. But there's one thing that runs through all human history, one thread that weaves together all our past, one thing that never changes and that thing is violence. Murder, genocide, death and destruction. We humans are born to kill. We are hardwired to destroy each other and nothing can change that. There is no system, no religion, no philosophy, no policy, nothing changes the FACT THAT HUMANS ARE KILLERS. I see people floundering around looking for the answer, they think they have a solution for the human race. No. Just no. Accept the fact that humans are going to destroy ourselves. It's much easier to live when you realize we cannot change.
@dionmcgee561011 күн бұрын
You make it sound as if we are ONLY killers. While I agree that violence and ignorance are predominant characteristics of the human race, and that the majority of people are pretty contemptible, as shown by the last election (in no way implying that the Dems are good or admirable- just that putting an obvious malignant narcissist in charge of the country is a degree of stupidity with costs that the future will inevitably reveal). Yet despite the american public having a keen death wish and wearing an "I'm with Stupid." T-shirt, there are enough decent, thoughtful individuals to hold back the despair. Not enough of them to meet in person, maybe, but enough to see their works and hear their words to know that they are out there. Just not around here. I don't have much hope for humanity as a whole- but for individuals to rise above the miasma and mediocrity on a day to day basis is a victory in and of itself. There is considerably love in this reality, in all it's aspects. Love of art- music, drawing, literature- have propelled me through the darkness- even given me a love of the darkness. The shadow, as Jung taught. Jung's take on Nietzsche and nihilism is an invaluable reminder that it's too easy to get lost in our own minds and forget that our seemingly shared perceived reality is too multi faceted to be quantifiable in negative or positive absolutes. The mostly clear eyed despair(? would you call it) you feel for humanity has it's counter in the deluded blind optimism that most religious believers feel. While I credit your perspective as being mostly objective and not deluded, as necessitates the christians perspective, you're acceptance of negativity is not balanced by an acknowledgement of the positivity that's all around. I've been with the same woman for over 20 years now, which amazes me because in no world could I be described as a sunny, light hearted man. The fact that she has accepted me, despite my dark brooding and preference for horror movies and dark, introspective, esoteric films, can only be explained by my appreciation of the positive to balance out all that negative. Negativity and positivism always strive to drown out the other, and despite what foolish humans think, neither one is superior to the other. Just as liberal and conservative are a dichotomy, a necessary balance crucial for good governance, and an imbalance or victory of one over the other results in the rule by ideology and a government bad for everyone- so too humans need a balance of light and dark. How does a person know they are happy if they never feel sad? Sorrow is as essential as joy, accepting that is it's own form of wisdom.

I don't agree with the concept of upholding Greek civilization as a sort of be-all end-all goal to aspire to. The reality is that the Greeks lived in a civilization that was intensively divided by city states, which were essentially tribal affiliation on a larger scale. That tribalism also meant that while they could sometimes come together for common goals, they were just as often divided. They also scorned outsiders (i.e. barbarians) which made them few friends. And that division is exactly what let the more unified Romans conquer and then eclipse them. This is also without pointing out other Greek flaws like their bad take on male-female relations, etc. Very few modern countries, especially those in non-ethnically homogenous areas like the Americas, can afford the sort of intense Greek tribalist mentality. The Roman idea also eventually failed when it couldn't absorb tribalist influence any longer. Point being, yes you can run a small relatively homogenous country on the Greek mentality, but to be a major player you need another mindset. Because major players in the world today also have to operate in alliances, often differing on social philosophies with at least some of their allies. And it's at the point where you need to unify a number of tribes into a working order where you need a philosophy that goes beyond simplistic in-group/out-group morality. And btw, if a country does not operate as a major player or in an alliance with a major player, then that country condemns itself to be an easy target for others. Basically, the criticism of Nietzsche here is that ancient morality was largely tribal in nature, and while some principles remain valid in the modern era it simply isn't fit for purpose of global interactions. Monotheistic morality is also not fit for purpose, being tribalist in its own right.

Eh the problem is that Nietche never understood the Greeks. Plato has nothing to do with Christianity whatsoever. Plato comes from a loooooong ancient tradition of what we call here in Greece Orphicopythagoreans. Philosophy is a very specific path. Achieving Eudaimonia and virtue. Plato never talks about "escaping". Plato was Pagan. Christianity is something that was created with some elements of greek philosophy, Zoroastrianism, bit of Egypt, bit of Mesopotamia. Whatever they could use to make the dogma believable. To construct a religion in order to control the masses. Regarding Odyssey. The name Odysseus comes from the greek verb odyssomai. It means going through struggles, being hated and so on. The journey of Odysseus is the journey back to his higher self its all full of metaphors and deep psychological meanings. And not only psychological, philosophical, astronomical it goes deep. It is literally the story of the soul on its way of "becoming". Exactly what Plato says this world is the world of "becoming" Gignesthai in greek. ΓΊΓΝΕΣΘΑΙ. Related word to genesis and gnosis. Penelope represents the soul of Odysseus... Pure greek thought is all about becoming one with the Agathon right here and now. Its all about self actualisation and uniting with the Cosmos by understanding the cosmic laws and cosmic Justice. Thats the Truth. And this is something that we are supposed to do right here and now. Not "escaping" somewhere else in the world of forms... The world of forms is to understand what is true and what is not true. And Nietche with his german western upbringing could not grasp it, he makes wrong assumptions. Christianity is actually alien to Plato. Christianity used some aspects of greek philosophy to make the dogma a bit more sophisticated than how it was in the very beginning. Read for example Celsus (if you find a good translation as far as i know one that excists is from a translator with a very "christian approach) if you read it in greek you will be surprised to get an understanding of how greek philosophers (and he was a platonic philosopher) were seeing the first Christians. It reminds the Woke movement... Our modern Western thinking is the thinking of the metrauma that Christianity has brought. We carry on living in a metachristian upside down world. Noone has understood the greeks. To understand the greeks you need to take the rationality of the west together with the understanding of the east and then start digging deeper and deeper.

I adhere to Plato's Transcendentals...and argue too that here is the idea of God in Christianiaty. Here is its origin. And disagree with your simplification of truth and a lie... the will to the truth is equal to the understanding that Odysseus as a cunning and brave hero... that necessity of striving to obtain his end of survival and return to home. Nietzsche cracked under the srrain of his own theory when he could not fathom the cruelty being meeted out to a horse. He cracked at the cruelty delivered without justice. And if there is no need to truth then you may as well go back to the Bolsheviks and agree with the hirrors they did for their sadistic kicks.

It’ll never not shock me how many men kneel at the altar of Nietzsche, as he confirms for terrible men that “everyone is terrible, it’s not just you!” Adult men walking around thinking that all humans want to inflict cruelty, and other adult men confirming that for them from places of authority is just wild to me. People who’ve adopted wretched ideologies CHOOSE cruelty. Humans do not INHERENTLY want to commit cruelty. Why people listen to an edge lord who didn’t even know what a brain scan was and had never witnessed a meta study in his life, I will never understand. Or, I should say, I understand it - they just want to be told it’s okay that they’re awful.

I don't think Nietzsche's position is a simple "people will always want to be cruel to everyone else just because". Of course there can exist cooperation and mutual respect between different individuals etc, this is not forbidden by his position. The important thing is not to deny that it does feel good to be cruel towards one's enemies. I would be tempted, for instance, to even analyze your comment in just this way. The condescending tone of it towards Nietzsche (the edge lord) and the "men who kneel at his altar" has a pinch of cruelty written over it, don't you think? Also, didn't it *feel good* to talk like that instead of dryly making a point about the relevance of Nietzsche against the current scientific literature?

@ My solution to what? Not being a horrible man? Find someone more vulnerable than yourself and examine how your actions might harm them and then choose to not do that. That’s something objective a person can start with that requires no subjectivity at all. If a man is making up morality as he goes, he should immediately stop listening to himself and choose to listen to someone who he has power over (immediate power or otherwise).
@WhatDoesEvilMean19 күн бұрын
@ w…t…f are you talking about? 1) No, it doesn’t feel good to be cruel to anyone. If you find being cruel enjoyable, seek therapy. 2) Though it didn’t help, you chose to modify his claim. He never mentions anything about enemies, rather simply that men love being cruel. I don’t love and have never loved being cruel to any person or living thing. You’re literally pointing out the personality that my comment was addressing - those who find comfort and solace in his words because it justifies their derangement. It should NEVER feel good to be cruel. That is morbid. In fact, I would only have capacity to cede that it feels “good” to stop a person shooting children because it means no more children would be being maimed and murdered. But it’s not the cruelty it takes to stop the shooter that feels “good”, it’s the stopping of their cruelty that feels “good”.

Suppose that we said yes to a single moment, then we have not only said yes to ourselves, but to the whole of existence. For nothing stands alone, either in ourselves or in things; and if our soul did but once vibrate and resound with a chord of happiness, then all of eternity was necessary to bring forth this one occurrence-and in this single moment when we said yes, all of eternity was embraced, redeemed, justified and affirmed.

Having kids is an act of cruelty and selfishness if the parents aren't mature enough to realize the responsibility they are undertaking in bringing a whole new life into existence. If the parents realize that the value of bringing an innocent and beautiful being into existence then that is a success. Having a child and providing it with nothing but food and shelter to exist similarly to a domestic animal I would say is cruel

Did your parents selfishly give you life for you to make that claim at all?
