The Genealogy of Morals by Friedrich NIETZSCHE read by Jeffrey Church | Full Audio Book

[@renanczOFFICIAL]

Happiness is the feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome. - Friedrich Nietzsche🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@alwaysgreatusa223]

Yes, and that's the real reason why God died. For when one is omnipotent, there is no more real resistance to be overcome. Happiness is then displaced by melancholy and despair -- as Alexander cried when there were no more worlds to conquer !

4:03:40 The vedanta philosophy didn't reduce matter to illusion, this shows nietzsche's lack of knowledge towards the ancient Hindu text , a very rare case of him being wrong about anything for him , in any case, it's a great book and I respect Nietzsche a lot , schopenhauer also says in his Magnum Opus the world as will and as representation " the tenet of the vedanta philosophy didn't rest in denying the material world to deny which would be lunacy, but the popular idea of it".

[@sethgaston8347]

I think many understand it, they’d just rather live there why they have been. Most of what Nietzsche considered noble is in the modern world considered sociopathic and is looked at negatively.

[@darillus1]

@@sethgaston8347 I wouldn't say 'sociopathic', i would say is his overall message would be to go out there and find yourself, don't just blindly copy what the herd is doing.

@@waltz3142 rambling idiot? if your thoughts r still relevant 100 years from now, I wouldn't call you a rambling idiot

[@JosephOrganicAttraction]

​​@@darillus1'm not sure you actually understand the details of the message. It isn't 'find yourself' or some weak modern nonsense. Almost every line he articulated a view of morality that contradicts Christianity and modern day liberalism. He believed that fundamentally the vast majority of human beings were destined for mediocrity no matter what and that the best system of social organisation was one that allowed the elite minds and the strong to flourish, even if that was at the expense of the rest of mankind. He believed that great cruelty was not only a characteristic of powerful societies,.it was an active requirement. He waged an intellectual war against compassion as he viewed it as an indulgent, counter productive emotion. He believed that strength, honour, courage, fortitude and the seeking of power were all great virtues. Again this contradicts the idea of humility and temperance pushed by Christian ethics and modern day liberalism.

Can a person separate the ideas of God and church? It's a difficult concept to be an independent thinker, or free thinker. But Nietzsche is not speaking of the death of God, but the death of religion.

[@user-hj4oo3rp3f]

It’s seems church is a form of “boxing up” god, so that only the “gatekeepers” can let you in if you do x. High probability of manipulation there sadly

[@JosephOrganicAttraction]

When he talks of the death of God he is talking about the death of Christianity as the organisational principle of Western civilization. The word god is a shorthand for Christianity in Nietzsche.

[@victorconway444]

True. It's amazing how people whom Nietzsche explicitly wished death upon are nowadays trying to claim him as their own, now that he's no longer alive to protest them. Ripping into nationalists and anti-semites was one of his favorite things to do, as his published and unpublished writings show. He despised Germany so much he renounced his Prussian citizenship and went about his life as a stateless, cosmopolitan, self-described "European man" belonging to no nation. He cut off all connections with his own childhood mentor when said mentor started turning into a rabid anti-semite. One of the historical thinkers whom he admired the most was a Jew (Spinoza). Not to mention his respect for Jesus (as a historical man, not a religious messiah obviously). Modern nationalism (or, more fittingly named, nation-worship) was the epitome of slave morality to Nietzsche, just in a secular form. The Übermensch would not bind himself nor his values/purpose to any external, subordinating, collectivist superstitions including that of nationhood. He'd definitely say the same of fascism, if he were unlucky enough to witness its rise to prominence with a sound mind.

​@@SaxonRanger94 *For his opinions on Spinoza:* _"I am utterly amazed, utterly enchanted! I have a precursor, and what a precursor! I hardly knew Spinoza: that I should have turned to him just now, was inspired by "instinct." Not only is his overtendency like mine-namely to make all knowledge the most powerful affect - but in five main points of his doctrine I recognize myself; this most unusual and loneliest thinker is closest to me precisely in these matters: he denies the freedom of the will, teleology, the moral world-order, the unegoistic, and evil. Even though the divergencies are admittedly tremendous, they are due more to the difference in time, culture, and science. In summa: my lonesomeness, which, as on very high mountains, often made it hard for me to breathe and make my blood rush out, is now at least a twosomeness. Strange! Incidentally, I am not at all as well as I had hoped. Exceptional weather here too! Eternal change of atmospheric conditions! - that will yet drive me out of Europe! I must have clear skies for months, else I get nowhere. Already six severe attacks of two or three days each. With affectionate love, Your friend."_ -Letter to his friend Franz Overbeck (1881) *For his cosmopolitanism:* _"I am, for example, far from considering myself as a German; indeed, the idea of 'patriotism' (if there could be such a thing in my case!) would appear to me as a great diminishment."_ - Ecce Homo (1888) _"To this day, I have not read a single line written by the first German, or the second - I call them my antipodes - Schopenhauer and Wagner. In all other matters, I feel much more at ease among Poles, Russians, and Spaniards and even more at ease among Italians, whom I regard is one of the most gifted races in all intellectual matters - richer even than the Greeks."_ -same work as the previous *For his opinions of Germans/Germany:* _"Germany's destiny is its servitude to two vices: beer and Christianity. The drunkenness of Bismarck."_ - Beyond Good and Evil (1886), Section 251 _"The Germans have always made up for their lack of wits by the hard work they are capable of putting into their good conscience."_ - On the Genealogy of Morals (1887), Essay 1, Section 10 _"Germany is a great nation only because its people have so much of what makes a nation great. What they lack is what makes individuals great: sense for reason, for order, for cleanliness, and the rightness of form."_ -Ecce Homo (1888) *On his opinions of nationalism:* _"You are right, I am just as much opposed to the patriotism of the Germans as to that of the French, English, and other people, and see my mission and representing something higher and more comprehensive - the European man in whom the narrow feelings of nationality have melted away."_ - Letter to Georg Brandes (1887) _"Nationalism, which by means of its armies compels whole peoples to bear arms against each other, forces the individuals to sacrifice their own interests to a false ideal. Thus, the individual's progress and flourishing is obstructed by the collective demand."_ - Human, All Too Human (1878), Section 475 _"Nationalism is the greatest of all herd instincts... It becomes the tool of his ressentiment, where the weak gather together and assert moral superiority over the strong, over the creative individual."_ - On the Genealogy of Morals (1887), Essay 1, Section 11 *On his opinions of the Jewish people and antisemitism:* _"The Jews, however, are beyond any doubt the strongest, toughest, and purest race now living in Europe; they know how to prevail even under the worst conditions (better even than under favorable ones) through virtues that today one would like to stamp as vices - thanks above all to a resolute faith that does not need to feel ashamed before 'modern ideas.'"_ -Beyond Good and Evil (1886), Section 251 _"Every kind of antisemitism is a sign of a (gamer word) culture and of a (gamer word) sense of justice."_ - The Gay Science (1882), Section 377 _"The Germans have invented the antisemitic deformity of instincts, out of ressentiment at the Jewish people."_ - Twilight of the Idols (1888), Section 4 _"That the Jews, if they wanted, could now have the ascendancy, or indeed literally the supremacy, over Europe is certain; that they are not working and planning for that purpose is equally certain."_ - On the Genealogy of Morals (1887), Essay 1, Section 18 _"I am just now having all antisemites shot."_ - Letter to Franz Overbeck (1887)

As if the only real danger to civilization and mankind were pity. As if there were no danger whatsoever in the opposite direction. As if a species utterly dependent upon trust, love, and cooperation from the day of its birth could simply dispense with the altruistic and compassionate spirit altogether. As if men were rational enough to understand, without any mixture of emotion whatsoever, that the survival of the whole sometimes requires the necessary sacrifice of the self -- in order for the family, or the tribe, or the nation, or the species to endure. As if purely self-seeking men would still naturally trust and rationally cooperate for the good of the whole, instead of deploying all their time, energy, and power in constantly seeking to undermine and overthrow each other. As if mankind could still survive in its constant struggle against the hostile and indifferent forces of nature without constantly fostering a spirit of compassion and cooperation among men themselves. As if a species that dispensed with pity altogether would still be worth a second thought... and not soon on its way to extinction !

[@zootjitsu6767]

This is the consensus sapientium. But who else since the hypocritical slave revolt that we call “Christian morality” had the bravery to dare to look and think “what if pity and compassion are not virtues but vice?”

[@alwaysgreatusa223]

@@zootjitsu6767 The morality that you identify as Christian has its origin in the beginnings of mankind -- wherever men had to live together and cooperate for their own survival or die. Compassion is no less a part of human nature than self-assertion. But, yes, Nietzsche does deserve credit for questioning the true origin and validity of morality, although his own genealogy is mistaken, and no less superficial an account of the origin of morality than that which supposes (imagines) a Social Contract.

[@alwaysgreatusa223]

Nietzsche was right that what was needed -- and is still needed -- was an unbiased Critique of Morality. Unfortunately, his own critique is not it. His own prejudice is only too clear -- and is motivated as much by his desire to discredit Christian morality, as by a dispassionate desire to seek the truth. No, Nietzsche is nothing if not passionate. Yes, morality must serve life, Zarathustra, and life should never serve morality -- here you are right. But your genealogy has not gone back far enough ! The real question is always exactly what moral values actually serve to make life better, and which will inevitably destroy it. Extremism here is likely to lead to death and extinction, not to a better life. There is a reason for men to balance their egos with their compassion -- and its called survival against the forces of nature. A man alone in nature is not the 'noble and independent savage' that Rousseau in the warm comfort of his parlor imagined. Instead man alone in nature is merely a soon-to-be rotting corpse feeding the hungry bellies of a pack of hyenas.
