Nietzsche thought that as long as he abhorred weakness, he could not be weak himself. This is a textbook defense mechanism. We despise in others what we despise in ourselves.

Weakness is indeed bad. If you have a job, you can see how the in-group treats the weakest person at your place of employment. He gets the shit jobs, passed over for the better jobs, and slandered to keep him in his place. I see it, but I have a sense of justice about my personality, and I help these people any time I can. I also punish the aggressors when appropriate. It's a fine line to walk and can be dangerous. I think it's better for a low social status person to save his money and start a business, it's the only way they will succeed in life. People are generally mean to one another and having solid social skills allows a person to negotiate the social domain. Without those skills life will be very difficult.

It's also at the core of the psychological mechanisms of Christianity, which is an apocalyptic death cult at its core.

I hated homework because it felt like a waste of time. I always passed my tests without ever studying if I already covered it in class, and school felt unnecessarily lethargic and slow. I ended up skipping senior year and getting a High School Equivalency diploma (not a GED; HSE is literally the same as if I graduated High School) within a month. Granted, this wouldn't work for everyone. My knowledge retention is higher than average and I tended to learn ahead of my grade. But it goes to show that the school system it too restricting and non-adaptive.

It is in fact actually something that Nietzsche directly talks about in multiple different ways across a number of works. But more broadly he says that only those that have to strength to Grapple with their own will are actually capable of exercising Free Will and making free choice. By a certain kind of definition, among other things, Nature's ubermensch is precisely a kind of being that has so freed himself from both pity and weakness that he is able to make free choices and define his values. not as a kind of revenge or even as a way to make himself feel better in the world but as a kind of childlike play.

@xavierzabie8184 nietzsche doesn’t believe in subjectivism in the way it’s understood today. Micheal Tanner’s introduction from Beyond Good and Evil does a great job of describing his perspectivism, which can be misinterpreted as being the same thing. I think rather what he’s getting at is that there are objective facts about the world, but that we form opinions about the world as we survey it, thus distorting our perspective, or claim to be able to survey the world without forming opinions about it, and then claim to come to an “objective” opinion about it after surveying it, which I don’t believe is possible. it’s not a coincidence that the first essay in Beyond Good and Evil is WWE smackdown vs RAW battle Royale of nietzsche barbecuing people for lacking “intellectual hygiene”, he’s calling people out for not being forthcoming out their perspectivism and how their pre-existing wills shape their beliefs into a form that is more palatable to them. if you’re interested in this distinction I think you’d really enjoy beyond good and evil, it’s a great read. also makes you realise the courage of Nietzsche’s own worldview, he believes in values that escape him personally, but does not waver in aspiring to them anyway. To me that takes heart and is admirable, which is why I personally value his perspective more than others, he’s a lot more intellectually hygienic

Resentful use of morality. Yeah, we're seeing a lot of that these days. A lot of societal discourse went bad when a genuine desire for justice turned into resentment. And in Nietzsche's take on pity I see an arrow pointing to our societies' tendency towards infantilization. I want people to be autonomous individuals, as much as that's possible for a human to be, and however much I consider it desirable to help people in need, there is a point where that means telling them "deal with it".

Nietzsche didn't hate weak people per se. What he hated was the triumph of slave morality, which he describes as originating in Israel and the early Christianity of Rome. As just one example, he sees the Christian concept of Hell as a revenge fantasy of an underground slave cult that hated Roman Emperors. He saw Chrisitianity as a cult of weakness which sucked the blood out of the Roman Empire.

well, at least the *initiation* of violence comes from weakness. if you fight back with violence, then you are within your rights so far as you serve justice and send a clear message. indeed, the colonizer is weak. the king is weak. the pope is weak. the emperor is weak. all of them need support by huge groups of people to stay alive as such. it is the individual who does his own damned work instead of enslaving others to do it, who creates and innovates instead of stealing credit, who speaks truth in the face of lies... SHE is the one who is strong. she is often poor, misunderstood, overlooked, and underestimated. that last one is actually a boon, as anyone who understands the art of war can see. :) we must remove the ruling bloodlines from power, and then the strong will be compensated fairly, *everyone's* lives will be a thousand times better as a result.

I think this is a generalization. A lot of people suffer from atrophy today because they're disenfranchised from the system that they are powerless to change. From a psychology standpoint it's pretty standard practice for people to behave in this manner when they're rendered powerless by the system. Your psyche must adapt to the new reality.

Having seen this video and earlier the one you suggested at 29:29 i think that Fredrick is closer to right than any other philosopher. I think that regardless of circumstance or anything else it is a persons responsibility to do the best for themselves. Even if you have no legs and live in the top story of a building with no elevator, if the building goes up in flames you need to try to save yourself. I think that we as humans need to stop relying on a "dominant other" to provde for us and do it ourselves to the best of out ability. Not to say community is bad or as a vote for anarchy, going back to my example of someone with no legs i dont think anyone expects them to hunt boars and feed the village but i still think they have a responsibility to do for themselves as much as possible. The same as someone with a less noticeable disability such as mental illness. Hot takes i know not to mention on hell of a tangent. Great video dude keep it up.

I have much more negative feelings about what Nietzsche has said (according to this video). Firstly, I think that unal1ving yourself is a perfectly legitimate choice in a number of circumstances. Secondly, your claims that people "need to do" this or that feels like patronising nonsense. The same goes for the claim "it is a person's responsibility to do the best for themselves". Why do you not say that this can be a smart thing to do, why do you seem to insinuate some metaphysical duty to do this? I, for my part, don't believe in metaphysical duties, I believe in deciding what is the best course of action for a given person XY in view of goals YZ on the basis of case analyses. The truth that I can find in Nietzsche's ideas is their applicability to some amount of such cases, their usefulness in application. I can and should always ask myself when I feel that things are not going my way: am I relying on a "dominant other" in some way and am I harming myself in doing this? In some cases, such reflection might unconver possibilities of change and imprivement. At the same time, framing reliance on others as inherently bad is extremely limiting: If a community works together well, then relying on others is crucial to maximizing the overall efficiency of this community. Every individual will benefit greatly from a functioning system of labour division, for example. Division of labour and knowledge cements and perpetuates dependency on others in a society and is, at the same time, the only way for civilization to achive great things and to progress. This is so obvious that I have to ask: if Nietzsche was not intending his ideas to refer to the division of labour and knowledge in societies, what situations are his ideas supposed to be applicable to exactly?? Lastly, labelling any group of people as "weak" and blaming them for the wrongs of society is fascistoid thinking.

If anything he said a person without legs can be strong, lmao. You are projecting harder than an artillery battery. Also fascistoid?

A few days ago I had an argument/discussion with a follower of Buddhism. I had stated Krishna was a Life Positive philosopher while Buddha was a life negative philosopher. Krishna embraces all. Buddha doesn’t. Buddha realised there is suffering in this world and attained enlightenment and blessed us with the same in which he advocated a sort of maintaining distance from the life. Then there’s a strong insistence on non-violence. So my question was, if an invader tries to rampage and kill, if I listen to Buddha, I would probably let it happen while trying to reason with the Barbarians. However, Krishna would advise me to pick up the weapons and fight. That it’s my Dharma to fight in this situation and even if I die following my Dharma, it’s great. Also, if someone were to try to kill Buddha, I would not hesitate to pick up the weapon and save Buddha from the attacker. Knowing very well that both Buddha and Krishna have pointed out the transient nature of the body, Krishna would ask me to protect someone like Buddha, while Buddha himself may not think so.

Regarding the "nice guy" example...I have to subtly disagree with the analysis here. I saw a very good explanation of the whole phenomenon of rejection, which goes as follows: Suppose there is a girls you're strongly attracted to, you believe she's wonderful, and believe you'd be "great together" - but she turns you down. There are two possibilities 1. She was indeed wonderful - but you don't match her. She's right to reject you as there's something lacking in you which you have to go away and work on. 2. She wasn't wonderful - you only think so. The chances are you've ignored her values - or the absence of them - and filled in the gaps where her moraility should be with visions of ripe breasts and soft lips. Either way, you need to go away and work on yourself to some extent - because if it's situation (2), you're succumbing to the "halo effect", i.e. thinking good looking girls are angels. What you then need to do is take a step back, and dispassionately look at the men she DOES go for. If she ends up in a series of toxic, dysfunctional relationships, then it's situation (2) - and you're chasing the wrong women. You need to work on that first of all. If, on the other hand, she ends up with someone who makes her very happy, then you can at least console yourself with the fact that whatever's wrong with you, it's not your mechanism for choosing women. Which means you need to work on your morality and values. This is similar to the notion in the video - but the difference is that you should not assume that what IS attractive to her is necessarily desirable for you to emulate. You need to know what sort of mistake you made - either in judging her value, or judging your own.

It's very unrealistic for people to think that there aren't going to be a decent percentage of the population that consists of weak people. Nature is a balance nature is duality.

I don't think it's so much about believing that you can make weakness disappear, but rather being willing to identify it and own it so that you can move beyond it. the problem is not in that you or other people are weak but but when you pretend that the weakest doesn't exist or even worse that the weakness is actually a strength. in a way it's no different than someone with a serious drug or alcohol addiction. Yes it's not good to be a drug addict or an alcoholic, but it's even worse to be one and to refuse to acknowledge that you are. at least once you identify your failing you can start to address it and correct it and strengthen yourself, and you can also stop tricking yourself into bad choices that come when you suppress that part of yourself but it's still influences your actions.

Great video. Highlighting the link between weakness and trustworthiness is interesting. It reminds me of Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter. I watched a video the other day about how his betrayal of everyone he knew came from his weakness and fear. He sided with whoever was strongest and most powerful, ultimately leading him to serve Voldemort, essentially reducing himself to a pawn an nothing more, simply to ensure survival. Nietzsche's rejection of nihilism is honestly fascinating to me. In a sense he's logically wrong because the entropic nature of the universe is very clear to us at this point, however his philosophy does seem to be a better basis for finding purpose and meaning within life, and therefore making life more fulfilling.

@@edheldude I was more meaning scientifically it's very clear that the universe is moving toward equalization and heat-death. Barring the oscillating universe theory, it'll eventually end with everything in space being cold and dead, and even later with everything absorbed into black holes. Even with the oscillating universe theory absolutely everything would be destroyed with every big-bang, so all we do in this iteration of the universe would be meaningless in the next. So logically nothing in life has a lasting purpose. It's all temporary, which can be demotivating for anyone who wants to achieve something with their life, because their efforts are eventually undone. In terms of purpose the human mind clearly developed a drive for long lasting purpose well before we had any ability to foresee the extremely distant future. However, I think even the bible mentions (in Ecclesiastes, which is all about nihilism) the idea that all you build could be destroyed in a day by the guy that comes along to take your place when you die. Basically, I think the secret to finding purpose is to accept that any benefit your actions will have will be temporary and limited, but that they'll have value to the people they affect within that time frame. When the heat death of the universe comes it won't matter if you enslaved 10,000 children to make a throne for yourself out of coal that they had to mine by hand, or if you solved world hunger and united the world into a perfect utopia, but it'd matter to the children if they suffer and it'd matter to the fed and safe people in the utopia.

Nietzsche had a serious problem with women as he did say that a woman did not have a soul and was a cow at best. Even my philosophy professor agreed with this and thought of him as in the closet.

I also think, ironically, this may have stemmed from his lack of romantic success. I want to write a blog post about it at some point. Even though Nietzsche had such an insight into the way people react resentfully when their wills are thwarted, that still didn't mean he himself did not fall into the same trap.

I don’t think pity is a mechanism for helping people. It’s a mechanism for feeling virtuous in the absence of helpful action. If you want to help, help. If you really want to help, teach competence.

I have found this to be absolutely true. Avoid weakness by being prepared to know which decisions will be critical, pre-deciding as many as possible, and sticking to your decision with as many as possible.
@MrGoblin1000
@MrGoblin1000 Ай бұрын
You can't predict what decisions you will be forced to make. And blindly sticking to a predetermined set of ethics is dangerous and can lead you to make some harmful decisions. You need to know when to be strong and when to be flexible or else you will break.

What makes a person truly strong is the ability to be flexible. The strength of flexibility is that a person can afford weakness, but it does not gain dominance over him, as he can afford strength without becoming dependent on it. Real power comes from the harmony of heart and mind.

Hi, I don't think I will have one specific book, but what I thought of right now are Wim Hof teachings, how he is showing the way how to govern himself through discipline and cold. Obviously this doesn't have to be good for everyone, but maybe some of his philosophy can inspire to create own way to hinder weaknesses.
