So true even Beethoven example was spot on. Striving for greatness requires a competitive edge.

Just because Nietzsche said that, doesn't mean it is true and must be followed strictly. Nietzsche's philosophy is an unfinished project. Beyond personal self-overcoming and individual greatness lies the idea of collective greatness-a great nation, a great community, and, ultimately, a great species. This expands Nietzsche's vision, keeping its essence but broadening its scope.

It's out of your control really. I thought Brian Leiter had made it quite clear that you can't just "will" greatness. You can only "happen to" find yourself great. If you do find yourself in greatness someday, Nietzsche suggests that you embrace it with zest and without a shred of doubt lest guilt. When we find someone else in greatness, Nietzsche also suggests that we glorify their greatness instead of pulling them down.

The principal component, the foundation of why the arts flourished during the golden age of greece and renaissance Italy wasn’t le epic malthusian machiaveli power fuck struggle of the great man. Master Morality doesn’t exist in a vacuum-it’s not just the mamba mentality all the way down. The taste and drive for the beautiful, and therefore the excellent in mind and body, is actually deeply contemplative. Ian Mcghrist can explain this much better than I.

@petarmaric4417 2 ай бұрын

I'm all for creative genius and greatness, but there's more to what Christians did that just raw drive for achieving great art with no end goal. That is why those pieces of art represent so much, they have a certain goal they strive (and clearly manage) to achieve, and without that they are meaningless, no matter how much they sacrifice for it. So yeah, I agree that there is no reason why we should maintain egalitarianism, but I highly doubt it that that is what Christians are trying to do. The goal of Christianity is that everyone rises to the standard that God intended for them, not that we all stay equally indifferent and ungreat. But that means neither that when someone achieves that intended greatness that they are God themselves nor that they rejected God.

Nietzsche didn’t believe that everyone could become an Übermensch. While he didn’t say only certain people are born capable of it, he made it clear that the traits needed-like strong willpower, deep thinking, and creativity-are rare. The Übermensch is an ideal for humanity, but it’s not something everyone can achieve.

@Odradek1 2 ай бұрын

Lmao “start ups work so well” what? Do you know the definition of start-up? You know they usually fail right? I am genuinely enthralled by how moronic every single point is, point by point. No serious philosopher or Nietzsche scholar or person who can read would agree that the motive force that brings all Nietzsche’s work together is “the higher man.” Read a real scholar like Brian Leiter or Paul Katsafanas, Maudemarie Clark or Walter Kaufman or Mattia Riccardi. Nietzsche would be rolling in his grave at the display of dim witted, ressentiment-filled microwave-warmed Great Man theory. The centerpiece of Nietzsche is a fine grained psycho-social anatomy of drives, of the wille zur macht, of the social construction of the subjective ego and of consciousness, of the torrent of forces and flux that constitute life. Nietzsche was a reactionary like you, yeah, but in no way does a lick of this get at what Nietzsche’s project was doing at all In fact you may be confusing him: Nietzsche usually refers to *Friedrich*, not Elizabeth Forster-Nietzsche

And yet, if you have any sense you don't want people with such psychology and philosophy to be in charge. It is one thing to be a maniac when you are an artist like Beethoven. You can be a tyrant in art to achieve your goals with no negative consequences for society, we can't say the same thing about other pursuits. Napoleon for example was one of the greatest butchers in history. A butcher who massacred his countrymen and abandoned his soldiers to die when it suited him. He was a genius without a christian morality. He was obssessed with his own name, his own greatness. He almost destroyed europe to pursue that end.

He is very engaging but all of it has this air of "fake it till you make it", I don't personally enjoy the cinematic flair with the lighting so carefully set up and the zooming camera angles etc. but I'll admit the content stands out. Maybe this is all very common practice in lectures that I'm unaware of and I'm a total moron for pointing all this out but that's what made me feel the same way you did with the content. I don't find this a negative aspect of the content necessarily, it's just not my preferred way of presentation and it comes down to stylistic and formal choices.

Hmm a very interesting topic of discussion and an even more intriguing way to conceptualize his point through. Although some concepts he misconstrued ti outright is wrong about or does not fully grasp the actual point he is referring to. The beginning he speaks of democracy to point out athleticism and tech as concepts spurred by democracy when in fact it is indeed capitalism that created those two empires to thrive to the big powerhouses they are seen as today. Democracy does not constitute value of empires to grow but goes off of a collective to favor something in a system of certain ideals. Capitalism actually creates enterprise to grow on and is made by great entrepreneurship to span even further greater growth. Also he is egregiously wrong on what the ideals of Christianity are and what exactly a Christian should be. The Bible does not view humanity nor humans as perfect but speaks more about how people can be better ti each other for a more thriving way of living and coexisting, amongst many more ideals that people do not understand in the Bible or Christian beliefs. Also being boastful is something all people fall under but is more their ego speaking on behalf of the person. That goes into a whole different topic of discussion that philosophical discussion has explored throughout the ages. This guy seems to read a lot and seek a lot of knowledge and is articulate in his discussions but some things he misrepresented here that were easily noticed by my awareness of certain points he wanted to make for his argument
