Nietzsche Good Bad, Good Evil

[@bebeezra]

1 hour could never do justice to Nietzsche's archaeological dig of man's invention of "Good", " Evil", morality and virtue - but given the time constraint, this lecture encapsulates Nietzsche's theme more succinctly than any I have ever heard. Truly empowering, thank you.

If you find Nietzsche puzzling - this is the answer. The lecturer remains faithful to the original text - it is easy to get lost trying to understand what Nietzsche is talking about. You need a guide. Decyphering Nietzsche is essential. Few academics give it a honest rendering; they cannot resist imposing their own moral prejudices on the material. 'Will to power' sounds sinister but it is known to us in sayings like: "nothing succeeds like success", "success breeds success", "winner take all". The quote "A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it" - a Nietzschean statement made by G.K. Chesterton who was a 'religious' person. If more people knew about Nietzsche's message his books would be everywhere. Many people would be freed from harmful cults and superstitions.

If only we could wholly eradicate this creator b/s and face our mortality head on then the rate of change of our evolution as a species would be much enhanced. It would be messy but we would eradicate most of the issues that hang round the neck of our current civilisation, future generations would thank us for our sacrifices.

Note to self (Analysis): Admires exploiters, does not deny the existance of the exploited from which the strong does not derive its power, but rather gives them, out of him/her, the potency they could not find elsewhere: potency of life to solve problems. Blind motion of natural selection as a guide to how to obtain more advanced and realistic modes of developing human faculties. Teleogizes nature. Insists on the serial killer as in tuned with nature and worthy of being introduced into societal circles, as well as offering them ones existance. Everyone wants to emulate them. He wants to return to a better era: social regressive relations from the feudal era. What he is wiling to offer in times of need and crisis.

[@BusterKingSyros]

I am currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, it seems she drew a lot of influence form Nietzsche's Will to Power.

[@healthshelf355]

I think to relate Nietzsche's concept 'the will to power' to material, financial, or academic acclaim is a limited perspective of what Nietzsche was saying. It's unfortunate because it doesn't respect what Nietzsche was trying to understand before his insanity robbed him of his brilliance. When Nietzsche's works are considered in their entirety the will to power is not manifested or evidenced in the things we do or the things we have, but rather the person we are. If I had a chance to ask Nietzsche a question it'd be this one: ... Is 'God' the same as the 'divinity' that resides in each human, the very ubermensche and embodiment of the will to power that humans naturally aspires to reach? ... i wish i could hear his response. I believe this is where Nietzsche's concept was heading. When Nietzsche demolished the established prose of René Descartes he stood out among his peers. At a young age he challenged Descartes' assumption that 'i' even existed. The only fact that actually could be unquestionably accepted was 'it thinks and therefore it is'. A unilateral connection of all human beings as one energy was not far off from Nietzsche's most fundamental of beliefs. Whether it's attaining to ubermensche level or an awakening to one's spiritual divine connection, it brings Nietzsche's concept in full circle, and in doing that it highlights an assumption of Nietzsche himself, that there is an 'absolute God'. 'The kingdom of God is within you' are powerful words. God is Love. God is all things, and all things are God. Nietzsche did very well at his religious boarding school, he was very passionate about following his father's footsteps. He had a spiritual seed inside his soul which never flourished. The devastating sorrow he experienced at a young age alienated him from God and led Nietzsche to dispise Christianity but he inadvertantly promoted a 'Christianity' without Christ, a 'religion' without God, human's had the power, human's were the Gods. What Nietzsche never lived to experience is that Christianity is the process of enlightenment not the end goal, the mechanism to Ubermensche. Shelf Health :)

[@jstahl76]

The Sufi lataif system of "subtle energy organs" strongly confirms what you are stating. Personally I believe that what you articulated should be the obvious interpretation of the meaning of N.'s legacy. The White lataif, whose name means Secret, and refers to "inner-consciousness"(associated with the prophecy of Moses) is the fundamental (spiritual) WILL. WIll is actually a presence, or presencing of spiritual substance. Generally, the activation of the White precedes the activation of the Black lataif, whose original name means Hidden, or Arcanum, but which speciifically refers to all manifestations of genuine POWER. (The Black is associated with the prophecy of Jesus.) N.'s writings outline the dynamic exuberance of mind that accompanies the activation of the (inner-) dimensions of the lataif. The English-available writings of Idries Shah and Henry Corbin and AH Almaas all contain important resources for understanding the evolutionary unfolding that occasionally takes place within individual "humans".

[@TheMiist]

I have a drive for connection not for power. I only want my community to have its basic needs and once those needs are met to live simply and connected. I don't think the upper classes are evil, they are just lost, as they don't understand that what they truly seek is just the happiness of a close knit tribe. Their big houses and material possessions all exist to impress but wont bring them happiness. We have old genetics and systems that arent designed to work with those genetics. The upper class have created systems to maintain power for themselves; systems that bring neither them nor us happiness.

[@snorribjarnason8408]

How do you know that about the upper class? See the later part of this sounds like the wrong type of morality. Moreover happiness is a goal without purpose; it is meaningless. Social being is a secondairy to evolution of species: exemplified by the fact that we are social due to it´s advantage in the advancement of man.

[@brendantannam499]

When I read the Christian scriptures, I'm in awe of the courage and determination of the early followers of the faith. I won't say that contradicts Nietzsche's opinion that it is a religion of passive-aggressive people resentful at the powers-that-be. It has shown itself that way, except of course for the long history of those supposed Christians whose abuse of the Church put them in the same bracket as any other follower of the will-to-power. I guess Nietzsche is talking about the common Christian man and woman over the centuries. They ended up victims of freebooters of every denomination and none. But the faith they belong to is a faith of positivity, courage, love and other fine qualities that produce 'good fruit' as the scriptures say, something the will-to-power can never do because of its inherently destructive nature.

[@snorribjarnason8408]

But, why does a slave feel bad? Could he not revel in self-sacrifice, and say: i´ve given this because it is good that it was given off me. We must infact trade to become rich, so that all men gave themselves away and by it got back a gift even greater, however this was based on a faith in that a reward existed out there for them. Could this be the evolutionary sucess of slave morality? This seemed to go unexplained in this lecture, so care to help?

[@arrow_of_longing]

"But, why does a slave feel bad? Could he not revel in self-sacrifice, and say: i´ve given this because it is good that it was given off me" He feels bad because his will to power is not will to enslavement. Yet he lacks the power to realize his will. That's, however, not to say a slave realizes his will to power. He is as good at lying to himself as he is clever.

I still believe that some people are good and some people are evil. Life teaches us so. And life is not a philosophy class. THanks for the video though.

[@topo161]

I respectfully disagree. I think you're undermining the influence philosophy can and has had to not just individuals, but to collective societies. Aristotle pretty much provided a framework that science would emerge out of with his ideas. Locke, Rousseau, and the like, who were philosophers, influenced the writing of the bill of rights, or at least provided ideas that would be starting points for how to properly manage a government. Plato's ideas or Platonism was very influential for early Christianity. Nietzsche's insights of people's psychology would be very influential to people like Freud, although I personally think that Nietzsche was more accurate in his insights. The social justice groups of today seem to be very representative of the master slave morality concept. "Life isn't a philosophy class" it kind of is though. Not necessarily a class, but everybody has their own individual philosophies that they live by, or at least try to. Most of which aren't even original anyway, whether you know it or not, or like it or not, our lifestyles were formed by the ideas of men like the ones I just listed. We always think to ourselves everyday of what purpose a particular life choice would have, how we should act on the world, what is the fundamental nature of humanity. Whether you know it or not again, these questions have and always will be a big part of philosophy. I also don't agree with the notion to divide even some people into mere "good bad" categories. This seems to be an overly simplistic view of the world. I think people are way more complicated than that.
