      This video is the closest I’ll ever come to understanding Nietzsche and I studied philosophy in Germany.

        Allow me to simplify it further:

        Do or do not, but stop hogging the cocaine.

        (The priest class as a bimbofied ubermensch is actually a pretty genius comparison imo)

      Ecce Homo is… interesting. Quoting Tears for Fear:

      And I find it kind of funny
      I find it kind of sad

      It’s one of his last books and it’s obvious his eccentricity is bordering madness already. It contains chapters like “Why I Am So Wise”, “Why I Am So Clever”, “Why I Write Such Good Books”, and “Why I Am a Destiny”. Some scholars say it’s a provocative or sardonic way of presenting an autobiography; I wouldn’t be so sure.

      I’ll have you know I bought an English copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and read almost the entire first dozen pages. Twice!

      I couldn’t tell you much beyond this since it was boring and I don’t remember but: “God is dead” was not emo edgy bullshit but rather an observation that society as a whole was growing more secular, to way over-generalize the context.

        I believe he grew up really religious and fell out for reasons. It’s kinda why he obsesses about it. So to replace God we need a post human to deal with the vacuum that entails.

    • I read Thus Spoke Zarathustra when I went through a phase of reading “classical” philosophy books. I remember liking it, though I don’t remember much of it anymore.

    That’s pretty wholesome, they managed to find some common ground.

      Yeah, I love this dissolution into honesty from them both!

        That or there’s some wild context we’re missing.
