Nietsche was clearly with it. His comments on the average person in society and their bland acceptance of authority are all very well for him say when he could retire to his alpine retreats and live off his personal wealth. But very different for the average man who really lives in true poverty and understands such relatively simple concepts as positive nihilism and yet still lives a hopeless life without resort to alpine solitude and plenty.

Everything a homeless person here in Sydney Australia asks me for any change I try quickly to make them aware that they have an amazing opportunity to start again by overcoming their situation and if they have slept on the street hit a rock bottom that's experiences they have already overcome. YET they continue to play a victim. I use to play that victim until I found philosophy 7 years ago. Thanks for reading this...

I'm just discovering Nietzsche and OMG I've been living and molding this lifestyle, looked at as weird but idc and ever since i started, have felt very freed. I feel almost validated in the sense that I'm not alone in my philosophy in living my life. I'm 35 and amazed he reached this in his 20s.

[@barnacleboii]

Nietzsche's and other's quotes inspired me to free myself from judgement. I was living in my past, always thinking about "the good old times" and being so nostalgic that I even thought about school being a living hell because of some people back then. I need to forget them, I need to forget judgement and I want to free myself from fear. Without fear, death will be nothing more than eternal sleep. Without fear, no one will make me obey them even if they're stronger. Without fear, I don't have stress and pressure with the vocational school, with my driver's license, with people laughing about me and how I dress. It's refreshing and this mindset made everything today just better.

I guess that's where personal relationships are still a thing. You build someone up in your mind to be something they aren't actually then you can't stand the disappointment when they aren't who you thought. Whether Wagner was being authentic to himself or not, Nietzsche wasn't going to be his friend anymore after he revealed who he really was and/or capitulated to expectations for fame.

Choosing to disengage from someone, because they don't have your best interest in mind, and recognizing someone else's traits, is not necessarily judgement. Personally, I don't think judgement is bad. It's part of the critical thinking ability of the higher mind. It's only when the judgement is baseless, ie not in relation to how the individual actually is, that it can be malignant.

Something i don't understand: Nietzsche says that there is no right way to live life. And that we can't judge anyone for the way they live, there is no good and bad because it's not your life they're living. Yet he judges his friend Wagner for selling out, chasing succes and being 'inauthentic'. Sounds weird to me, because it's a complete contradiction. Also, would it be inauthentic for me to chase succes, recognition, money, etc. if that's truly what i want to do? Would it be wrong for me to 'sell out' and be inauthentic just for a while because it will help me reach the purpose and goals in my life? If i am the one deciding to do this, is it still inauthentic?

You HAVE to see the pre code 30s movie, "Babyface" with Barbara Stanwyck as a sexy young girl who is told by an agitated German refugee in the bar she works in, what Friedrich Nietzsche said about taking what you want. She is told to exploit men for what she wants, to not be a victim, to be strong! She decides that's a great idea, and sleeps her way to a huge amount of diamonds, furs and fabulous apts. Her change of attitude and her learning how to manipulate the world around her in a vicious, man owned society is fascinating, but at the end, the filmmakers felt puritan guilt, and had her suddenly give up everything for some weak dork who doesn't deserve her... it's still fun to watch, though. I've never seen a film before based on Nietzsche's darker ruminations, its great!

He did not be recognized after, much, but the archetype that Jung talks about operated:- He went to the top at 25 - he hit success - material - but then went down as he had to find the deeper self past the Ego Shell of the material success. He would not want to go back to being famous, materially successful writer for he wouldn't have progressed. He lived his life later as deeper - The Self. That's why he went on the journey from the superficial ego and lived something deeper. You don't want to go back to what you left i.e celebrity status it would be called today; he had that at 25 - he left it - it was empty after a while - no lasting worth. He found all of deeper worth - his philosophy you are here outlining - he had some good days - life - and then he died.and left us this.

[@grahamtrave1709]

We shouldn’t judge others as good or bad …. But then judges Wagner for composing music inauthentically and dissolves there friendship that was built on appreciation of both their skills ? But I guess life is just a succession of happenings which could be described as acting on personal preferences ( in some cases judgements). But I do get this point that we need to be honest with ourselves and not join groups where we think we can advance ourselves. Not to be enslaved to others and their concepts that we may actually disagree with at a deep level.

Let's say it's very safe to say him and Wagner had a very fucking weird/connected/torn apart relationship. Even Nietzsche is human in the sense of contradictions.

I understand your point for sure, but I think the Wagner-Nietzsche connection is truly funny, and complicated.

Nietzsche-an unique philosopher

[@MITMathematica]

There’s a problem with existentialism, specifically Jean Paul Sartre’s concept of “existence precedes essence” First “existence precedes essence” needs to be explained. Existence is consciousness, while essence is genetic and environmental makeup. In traditional (by which I mean non-existentialist) western philosophy, essence always precedes existence. We are defined by our genetic and environmental characteristics; they determine our behaviour. Generally shared genetic and environmental characteristics across the species are typically termed “human nature”. Existentialism rejects the existence of a common human nature by proposing that existence comes before essence, meaning that our consciousness has the opportunity to determine how we feel about the world around us independent of our basic genetic and environmental characteristics. Of course, there are certain limitations to this that existentialists recognise-a person cannot by force of consciousness wish for different genetic characteristics or environmental background. One cannot simply will oneself into a bird or will an abusive childhood away. What the existentialists do propose, however, is that since one’s consciousness comes first, one can choose how to respond to or feel about one’s genetic background or environmental characteristics, both historically and in the present moment. Taken together, genetics and environment are typically referred to by existentialism as “facticity”, the objective facts about the external world that the consciousness can respond to in a variety of ways. Importantly, because under existentialism the consciousness has the opportunity to choose how to respond, there can be no determinism and consequently no prediction of human behaviour based on general principles. It also means that people have personal responsibility for everything that they do and are autonomous individuals, a very popular and comforting belief. The key problem with this is that if the consciousness, the thing deciding how to respond to facticity, is not itself made up of facticity-of genetic and environmental background and structuring-what is it? Existentialism proposes that existence comes first, but how can a consciousness exist produced from no source with a fundamental facticity? Furthermore, we know scientifically that consciousness is produced by a physical implement-the brain. If you damage a person’s brain, the level of consciousness will decline. Imagine, for example, that a person is confronted with a given situation and asked how to respond to that situation-in other words, how that person’s consciousness will respond to the facticity. The answer the person would likely give would be very different if, prior to asking the question, I removed a portion of the person’s brain known to handle say, critical thinking. What this means is that existence cannot precede essence-in order to have consciousness, one must have a functional brain, and the facticity of that brain-its genetic characteristics and environmental influences, will give one a nature that will limit one’s scope of response to a given situation or stimulus. It is as if one attempts to evaluate the properties of a metal using a lens made of the very same metal-one cannot know what impact the lens is having on the analysis and on the data, but one thing is certain, and that is that, unless the metal is absolutely perfect for use in lenses, the data is going to be both inaccurate and useless. This is not to say that a person cannot choose to view a situation differently in accordance with existentialist teaching, but it does mean that the extent to which a person can view a situation differently or take personal responsibility for behaviour is dependent upon that given person’s nature. In other words, ability to, from time to time transcend one’s nature must, inevitably, come from a nature that permits occasional self-transcendence. Existentialism is not metaphysical truth, but people can be of a nature such that they are inclined to ethically aspire to it. This has grave implications. Because existentialism and ethic of personal responsibility appeal to some people due to their nature, those people embrace existentialism and personal responsibility and expect others to do so. Their existentialism by definition precludes them from recognising or acknowledging that non-existentialists are not of a nature such that they can embrace or practise existentialism. This leads to unrealistic expectations on the part of existentialists. Their own seeming transcendence of their nature is in fact an expression of their nature, but they nonetheless expect other people to be able to do the very same thing despite lacking natures favourable to self-transcendence. The typical existentialist response to the existence of these inherently non-existentialist individuals is one of condemnation-their unwillingness to take personal responsibility is deemed an intellectual or moral failing, when in fact it is a consequence of their nature, as immutable as the existentialist’s own ability to decide to see a situation or a fact in a different light. A person inclined to self-transcendence is every bit as locked into that behaviour as a person who is disinclined is locked into disinclination. What is the result? The widespread belief by those with the inherent natural psychological ability to overcome difficult upbringings or unfavourable genetic backgrounds that those who don’t have failed to take responsibility and are themselves deficient. This leads to a lack of sympathy and a lack of compassion, and our political policies reflect the dominance of the existentialist ideology. Those who are poor are assumed to be lacking in virtue or initiative due to incompetence, immorality, or irresponsibility rather than a nature and upbringing that not only makes success difficult, but makes choosing to transcend said nature and upbringing difficult, if not biologically and psychologically impossible. This existentialist belief that denies nature altogether either denies neuroscience and asserts that consciousness comes from something immaterial or requires that our brains act independently of their own structure. In either case, it is extremely unreasonable, and leads to equally unreasonable consequential beliefs that require the impossible from one’s fellow man. It is self-delusive and a philosophical dead end. It leads to a total misunderstanding of the nature of man and of man’s possibilities. It would be wise to put it aside and resume the age old discussion of what elements in man’s nature are most critical in understanding what man’s limits are and how man can best organise societies and projects in consequence of and in accordance with those limits. It is no more sensible to reject man’s behavioural limits than it is to reject man’s inability to fly or subsist underwater. Better to recognise those limits and devise tools and structures that help us to surmount them than to jump off of cliffs and hope to will ourselves to survive the splat.

[@spencerwinston4334]

Wonderful video presentation to advance ideas for a savant philosopher of the ages. Nietzsche's influence is only growing in these dangerous time, and his philosophical and cultural impact has perhaps catapulted him now above Emerson and Schopenhauer to the Olympian level of Plato. With mountain lightning flashes of epochal insightful brilliance in his writings and a seeming OODA Loop strategically, aggressive and dynamite filled writing style, Nietzsche reached the Olympian rings of truth high over the vapid Marxist "intellectuals: of the time. Nietzsche savaged the idols and hollow men philosophers of the day and antiquity. For me, Nietzsche will always be the philosopher for the "day after tomorrow"-- the gauntlet other future philosophers will have to contend in the octagon of ideas, intellectual courage, and exquisite, truth instincts. Steeped in the finest of French, German, and Italian aphoristic styles combined with his expertise in philology and the languages of antiquity Greek, Latin and Hebrew, Nietzsche is a sublime gift to humanity. Modern-day "scholars" are rarely deeply versed in the classical languages of antiquity. As Schopenhauer keenly noted, a scholar will always have a hole in his education without training in the classics of antiquity. If you can read Plato and Aristotle in original Greek with great expertise, you are no longer dependent on some scholar's interpretation of a key inflection point in a passage. Today's professors of propaganda are rarely truth seekers, but merely paid to parrot the establishment line for grants. The professors at the propaganda mills go to great lengths to hide the truth and protect their small moat for either lack of knowledge, courage, or perhaps for sinister and mercenary reasons to keep the students mired in an "establishment matrix-like illusion." Fortune favors the bold, and in that sense, we all have benefited from Nietzsche's gifts to humanity in his sublime writings without having to undergo his years of intensive scholarship, solitude, sickness, and torment in his relentless, dedicated, and labor of love for the truth. Come out and breathe the pure mountain air of truth where Nietzsche resides. Transcend the matrix and the flickering lights of the cave of modern life as Nietzsche commented, in Twilight of the Idols "..come out of your cave, as the world awaits you as a garden." All the best to those fearless truth-seekers following their own path and rising above the "human all too human" in the quest and adventure for the truth.

[@timangar9771]

I think Nietzsche has always been in a different league than Schopenhauer. Plato (or Socrates for that matter), Nietzsche and Jesus. These three shape todays thought like none other. To prove my point: every large philosophical movement of today is based on one of these three. Humanism is a secular version of Christianity. Scientism is Plato's insistance that knowledge is the only virtue and ignorance the only vice. The American dream / striving for competence / meritism is Nietzsche's will to power in action.

@@timangar9771 Fascinating observations along with your excellent on-the-mark synopsis. All three of your choices for sure belong on a Mt. Rushmore of philosophical savants. I'm partial to Nietzsche for receiving top placement on Mt. Rushmore, as the German savant is the honorary patron saint of elite Green Beret and Navy Seal forces across the world. Nietzsche achieved this distinction, imo, when he blasted, like an artillery shell, the military truth of life: ".. that which does not destroy you only makes you stronger" onto the spiritual wasteland of modern times. In a world of hollow men, department store mannequin "misleaders" and game show-like hosts receiving university tenure, the call of the wild, the primal urges of nature and the will to power in all full spectrum dimensions are showcasing Nietzsche as truly the "philosopher for the day after tomorrow." Regards for the response.

Fantastic video well done I needed this video thank you

Nietzsche genuinly scares me the more i learn about him. He made this grand statement calling his being every important name in history such as jesus aristotle napoleon. Anyone else who said that I would not believe but this man knew his shit

I was trying to find a way to twist "I'm really lazy" into something positive, but then I understood it wasn't worthy and began doing something productive.

[@wefeelthereforeweexist.]

My laziness helped me to prioritize things and do only what is the most important. Essentials in life, for instance : +not buying clutter(instead of throwing&giving away two heavy bags of clothes every two months made in Asia by cheap hard labour I do it once a year and it's like ~4 items) +valueing good friendships (instead of feeling so sensitive about people who do not like me that much I just leave them the fuck alone). I do not drink alcohol, do not use drugs, tobacco and not many sugar and unhealthy foods - I am just lazy to arrange appointments and spend my money and time for a dentist, psychologist, doctor. If I keep my mind and brain healthy I don't need to spend that much energy on this type of stuff and worry about money.😁 Main stream capitalist media is trying to convince us that massive consumption is the only way to be happy, but what if my energy is just wasted. What if I have all the money to buy everything? What happens next? Will I wear 500000 pair of shoes???Ahhhh no, human is too little for it. And look at our planet, human is not needed for any other living creature, even home pet breeds are made by humans, but wildlife animals do not need us. We are destroying this planet, so sometimes the less we do the better. Sorry if I offended hyper optimistic people who do think that mother nature needs us so badly. No, I don't think so.

[@spaceman5734]

laziness serves to remind you that you are not connected to any real thing. Nothing wrong with lazyness for the lack of a better term for it. You are just simply at peace with who and where you are. When you are ready to move to another vibration, you will no longer be lazy and will find yourself there. There is nothing wrong, everything is where it is supposed to be. Love xxx

I think the key is understanding if laziness is actually avoidance. If it’s avoidance- what are you avoiding. If you are looking to justify it is probably a sign of avoidance.

What about murderers and child rapists do we have the right to call them wrong according to Nietzsche?

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Nietzsche had a big problem with Christian idea if sin and god's judgement and that reflects in his thinking. That said he would be propably honest about it and say that due to the lack of ultimate "God's eye" point of view he can not rationally conclude anything to be good or bad.

[@DanielEngsvang]

A real man should Never be fully ashamed as long as he does not failed to protect those who are weak when he could. Todays shameless men(and through all times) have put those weaker in danger by fighting and so on instead of standing up for themselves and just take for example public harassment adult bullying as a man but instead go into action to protect their ego from something they are afraid of the consequences of when there really is NO such consequences but a bit of embarrassment, and often this is just for seconds or minutes ?

While he was certainly a very smart individual, and a great observer Nietzsche's philosophy was not only paradoxical but also hypocritical.

[@masterofnone8400]

Nietzsche has been incredibly influencial on my thinking but I completely disagree with his moral relativism. I think I am right in saying a culture that stones women to death for the crime of being raped (like in Afghanistan) is not as good as the culture in the west where women have equal rights. I think we are correct to judge this harshly.

[@Whodjathink]

I think that proves his point very nicely actually. Because in other cultures they see it as good whereas you see it as bad. That's Nietzsche's point! That there's no "End-All Be-All" moral system. Only what everyone tolerates and agrees on

[@felixtownn]

Same here. There can be some moral relativism but using it as "there's no objective right or wrong so how can we judge" is pathetic.
