I think in species like the peacock you can see Nietzsche's view of evolution holding more water. Will and vitality become more important when there's abundance of energy in the environment and sexual selection becomes the main driver of evolution rather than mere survival.

[@justnocure.4895]

Your videos are the bests. You should make a video analyzing the people that Nietzsche belive to have caractheristics of the overman (Goethe, Napoleon, julius caesar, etc..)

[@HeroicIdeal]

Definitely. I might do some longer style videos on these

Morality is an idea I've struggled with for a long time. On one hand it feels like Nietzsche is correct, in the slave vs master sense, but then I question, "what about serial killers and masochists?" It makes me wonder if perhaps there is a middle ground that holds up civilization, a compromise as in hey, I really don't want people to steal my shit so let's agree that even though I'm capable of doing the same harm to you, I won't so we're not constantly fighting each other. Not sure if I'm being clear on my thought process but I'd be interested in a counter-arguement or general thoughts.

[@HeroicIdeal]

Yes, I've thought similarly. The simple answer is that Nietzsche's "morality" is specifically Christian morality, or slave morality Master morality is also a "morality," but it isn't a totalizing moral worldview, despite having concepts of good/bad, virtue, etc within it A nice way to think about it: the world nested within morality vs morality nested within the world.... * * * Following on this, the pre-platonic era Greeks saw morality (or rather virtue) as a social obligation Man is part of the polis, and in that context, must do right by his friends and wrong to his enemies But the polis is nested within nature, which is the supreme law Antiphon, an aristocrat and sophist, representing pre-Socratic Athenian thought: "44. Justice, then, is not to transgress that which is the law of the city in which one is a citizen. A man therefore can best conduct himself in harmony with justice, if when in the company of witnesses he upholds the laws, and when alone without witnesses he upholds the edicts of nature. For the edicts of the laws are imposed artificially, but those of nature are compulsory. And the edicts of the laws are arrived at by consent, not by natural growth, whereas those of nature are not a matter of consent." "So, if the man who transgresses the legal code evades those who have agreed to these edicts, he avoids both disgrace and penalty; otherwise not. But if a man violates against possibility any of the laws which are implanted in nature, even if he evades all men's detection, the ill is no less, and even if all see, it is no greater. For he is not hurt on account of an opinion, but because of truth. The examination of these things is in general for this reason, that the majority of just acts according to law are prescribed contrary to nature." Sorry for the Ted talk haha

[@ericddl]

@@HeroicIdeal Lmao, Ted talks rarely give me any answers so I appreciate the clarity. Guess it's time for me to read Nietzsche again. Thanks again brother 💪

[@gerardjayetileke4373]

I think what you're referring to is "contractualism".

[@aesop1451]

Nietzsche liked the caste system of Hinduism prescribed by the Laws of Manu. One of the castes is the warriors, which was overthrown by the priests. Nietzsche prefers warriors over priests. Since warriors have to fight, they develop a morality that reflects their nature (loyalty, honesty, discipline, etc). Nietzsche looked up to Greece and Rome, which had martial aristocracies. Spartans had an enslaved population called Helots and Rome was divided into patricians and plebeians. Japan had the samurai. Europe even had knights. The downfall of aristocracies is when they start to feel guilty about their status and adopt the morality of the lower castes to please them. Nietzsche is explicitly going against Darwin and saying that we must consciously decide to create better humans instead of just hoping that natural selection will lead to better humans over time. The Last Man, also known as bugmen, are known for being obedient, consumerists, and social climbers. Let's say in a 1,000 years future archaeologists are digging up the remains of the modern West, would they look at us the same way we look at ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Japan?

I think it's interesting that morality is compared to gravity. Gravity keeps everything from floating away and dispersing into nothingness. Gravity pulls all things downward, which makes all equally subject to its rule but also makes that which grows tall and stays strong against the wind all the more beautiful. Perhaps a proper moral framework serves the same purpose, to synthesize quality and equality.

[@HeroicIdeal]

Interesting. Nietzsche does talk a lot about overcoming resistance as a measurement of strength However, I think the idea is that (slave) morality weakens, disperses, levels life, and therefore, over the course of centuries, makes life incapable of overcoming-you get a bunch of shrubs Whereas the classical conceptions of virtue, vitality, and striving preserve and strengthen the instincts of higher life, allowing the "trees" which are great men to grow higher

Your content is amazing and it's obvious that you have deep knowledge about the subject you're talking about, but please STOP doing that voice, it would be much better if your voice was natural and fluid. Stop trying to sound like a narrator. Sometimes the video is good but the narration ruins it
