Really, Nietzsche was both the most tragic and heroic figure of the Romantic-Renaissance era of humanity. He has so many precursors, and yet none of them narrowed things down as succinctly, or penetrated the depths of the human psyche as profoundly, as he did. Reading Nietzsche is like breathing cool, refreshing air or drinking pure, cold water on a hot day compared to everyone else, who sometimes get a lot of things right, but never without some dilution. And what was the cost of giving us some of the greatest books ever written? A life of sickness and loneliness that eventually ended in madness and incessant public defamation.
He just wrote books that's not heroic at all.
Spoken like a truly dumb bastard who understands nothing about anything.
The ancient Greeks wouldn't have considered him a heros.
They wouldn't have considered anyone of the Romantic-Renaissance era heroic. But from that era, Nietzsche was the most, because he pushed the envelope the furthest.
Nah, you even had to invent a bogus connection between his writings and his illness to mythologize him.
right because when you read his biography you found zero connnection between the two; you read his biography right?
>comes to a literature board
>argues that all authors are hacks
Bold move.
That's ironic: The Greeks absolutely would have considered him divine in some manner. Of the three deified ancient Gods, Herakles, Dionysius, and Apollo- both Dionysius and Apollo were not marshal adventurers. Of course those two are the ones Nietzsche writes about.
>Bold move.
Seethe and cope, IQfyranny.
Nah, that would be Wagner. Nietzsche was just his continuator.
Wagner wasn't hard with himself like Nietzsche was.
Schopy mogs him
freud said no one in history knew himself as well as nietzsche
When I read other philosophers I definitely don't feel like they're cutting into the meat. With Nietzche it was different. I don't even say this as someone who agrees with him.
Hume is pretty good

lol, atheists are just pathetic at this point
one day we will be exploring the galaxy and your Bronze Age Semitic religion will be completely non-existent and obsolete. How does that make you feel?
Replace Nietzsche with Tolstoy and you're right, the one thing differentiating them is faith in the lord and Tolstoy proved you can get alot further with that alone then any of Nietzsche's useless ramblings
Tolstoy is life-denying
Nietzsche:
“Judgements, value judgements concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms – in themselves such judgements are stupidities. One must reach out and try to grasp this astonishing finesse, that the value of life cannot be estimated. Not by a living man, because he is a party to the dispute, indeed its object, and not the judge of it; not by a dead one, for another reason. – For a philosopher to see a problem in the value of life thus even constitutes an objection to him, a question-mark as to his wisdom, a piece of unwisdom. – What? and all these great wise men – they have not only been décadents, they have not even been wise?”
Yes. In other words: we, the Philosophers, step on the scum of life, as masters, while NEETzsche sucks life like a wiener, as a slave (i.e. a Catholic).
The world is a reflection of ourselves. If life is ugly, it's because you are.
And?
It means you're a projecting homosexual who is master of nothing.
What am I "projecting"?
Your ugliness. Can you read?
How can one "project" onto a "reflection" (
)?
The reflection is the projection, moron.
How so?
Life is a mirror. The ugliness you see in it is really in your heart.
Who deemed life a mirror, and how?
>Who deemed life a mirror
Psychologists and neuroscientists who understand how the brain works better than you do.
Sounds like "slave morality" to me.
That would be because you don't understand the concept.
A lion does not concern himself with the concepts of sheep.
Big talk for a literal moron who has accomplished frickall in life.
>Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.
- Tolstoy
Pragmatic american christianity is mostly feelgood harmless nonsense because no one in western history took it too seriously there, but russian philosophical christianity is actual mind cancer. Just wanted to let you know.
>A life of sickness and loneliness that eventually ended in madness and incessant public defamation.
He made himself sick. He was a narcissistic borderline hypochondriac.
>He gave himself brain cancer bro
It was self made. The illness had no biological basis. If he had a tumor it would've shown in his eye.
It was completely psychological. He had a mental breakdown.
He literally went insane to cope with realizing that he was wrong. It's either that or you accept that it was his drug addiction that caused it.
It wasn't that. He tried to individuate and failed, him mom and sister really fricked him up.
That's possibly even more pathetic. What a low-value loser male.
Wagner failed too. And Hitler as well.
But they all came close.
Almost everything about Nietzsche is shrouded in myth because he was rehabilitated after WW2 to be transformed into a quirky pop philosopher instead of the genuine madman radical he was so that he could no longer pose a threat to the liberal West. We are told that his sister altered his works to make him more evil and aggressive, we are told he had syphilis and went insane due to a real illness instead of a mental breakdown, we are told he cried over a horse like a pussy, etc. All of this is fraudulent nonsense and somehow after over a century everyone still believes it.
Will to power is simply desire for power, and desire is suffering, so will to power is suffering.
>will to power is suffering.
Hence why Nietzsche wanted there to be more suffering.
>Nietzsche wanted [...]
So he suffered because of his desire, assuming he actually wanted anything.
I hate Nietzsche because his legacy today proves how impotent his philosophy was.
I think you're seriously missing what his legacy was.
