So you meant to tell me this guy wanted to find meaning of life?

So basically he was a atheist but he wanted to prove to others that were atheist but then the ones realizing life is meaningless but he doesn’t think life is meaningless and he believes life is full of meaning and that you need to find a cure for existentialism?

      The atheist label really is worthless, Nietzsche never makes any proclamation that god does or doesn’t exist. And there’s no point because you could never prove it one way or another, those who believe in god fall in line of faith which requires no proof, that’s the whole point. He makes the case that religion poisons man and isn’t worth your time according to its values, practice and effect on humanity.

        First of all, he does say “God is dead”, which taken literally would mean that he thinks God did exist but no longer does. If not meant to be taken literally, he probably meant that God might exist but the culture has abandoned Him either way. In which case, his position would be an explicit concession that God can exist, in which case, the claim that it’s not worth your time would be fundamentally unjustified and possibly wrong. If you have to admit that God might exists and He might be exactly the type of God which bids you to do His will or else you go to Hell and are tormented for eternity, then you’d have to come up with a pretty damn good justification for why you should do anything other than what He wants. Saying “well, it’s slave morality, you only obey because you don’t want to be punished” is not a justification. That is merely an aesthetic judgement, and because you conceded that God might exist, it’s baseless to evaluate claims on the basis of aesthetics alone anyway. Even worse, he goes on to claim that ethics are the result of power struggles and if you admit that God might exist, which he has to, then the sort of God that might exist might be exactly the sort of God which you cannot conceivably be more powerful than. So if ethics is just informed by power, your ethics would just necessarily just have to be what God wants for you. This is the insane irony of Nietzsche. He liked to believe he prescribed something beyond good and evil that he was somehow past Christianity. In reality, who’s the prescribed was quite literally exactly the same as Luciferianism, the same ethics of the snake in the garden. And his moronic fanboys either don’t get this or think it’s fine because it’s like aesthetically based or whatever. You can like it aesthetically if you like, but that is not real philosophy and it can’t contain any claim to truth.

            These more unjustified claims and a strawman. How do you know metaphysics is perceptual artifact? You’d need metaphysics other than as perceptual artifact to know that. Moreover, the argument is not X than Y than Z but precisely that Nietzsche’s X is either a strawman or nothing.I swear talking to Nietzscheans is like talking to toddlers. You know absolutely nothing at all about philosophy. You don’t know what a justification is, you usually don’t know what fallacies are, you reject the conventions of logic and reason but then use logic and reason to make bad arguments, and when you get called out on it you resort to 1 of 3 tactics every single time:
            1) “you just didn’t read Nietzsche” (wouldn’t even matter if true if the argument is valid regardless)
            2) “this is pointless” le you just don’t understand because Nietzsche is too big brained for you

      The other guy is right, if you call Nietzsche a metaphysican you have not read him.
      His ENTIRE philosophy is a rejection of metaphysics. To him, metaphysics leads one to live like a slave and should therefore be rejected along with all the "objective" moral values that come with it. Instead, one should live according to his own will.
      >What kind of metaphysician makes claims like this and doesn’t question them?
      Again, the "interpretation" of someone who didn't even read the his Wikipedia page.
      You are talking as if Nietzsche set out to investigate the existance or non-existance, or death of God, like Descartes did in his Meditations. God's actual state doesn't matter at all for Nietzsche, but the result of it in the people and nihilism as its consequence.

        The existence and non-existence of God are metaphysical claims you imbeciles. He goes so far as to center his philosophy around what the world really is, what history means, ethics, from whence ethics derive, etc. all of these and I mean all of them are metaphysical claims.

        You don’t know what you’re talking about and by the way, you failed to even grasp the critique. Obviously, Nietzsche did not set out to “investigate” the existence of God and that’s exactly my critique. He just accepted it as some bizarre sort of axiom. Whether he believes God is dead in a genuine and true sense as in the Christian God literally no longer exists or that he is dead in the sense that we as a culture have abandoned belief in God, either way, those presuppositions are necessary for him to proceed from there. How could someone proceed with non-Christian ethics if Westerners abandoned God but God still really is real and does exist? None. Nietzsche never even asked the question. That’s only one of the reasons why he’s a fraud. The notion that he “rejects” metaphysics is the biggest cope. Honestly, this is the problem with Nietzsche and Nietzscheans. The guy flat out asserted unfounded and unjustified bullshit and because you like the aesthetics of these writings, you accept them as gospel. What does it even mean to say shit like you reject metaphysics, rationality, reason, all this nonsense and then make rational arguments for why this or that is the case and why you should do this or that. That’s objectively nonsense and you’ve been duped by a fraud into joining his quasi-religious cult.

            "A people that still believes in itself will still have its own god. In the figure of this god, a people will worship the conditions that have brought it to the fore, its virtues, - it projects the pleasure it takes in itself, its feeling of power, into a being that it can thank for all of this. Whoever has wealth will want to give; a proud people needs a god to sacrifice to ... On this supposition, religion is a form of gratitude. People are grateful for themselves: and this is why they need a god. - This sort of god has to be able to help and to harm, has to be able to be a friend and an enemy, - people admire him as good but also as bad. The *anti-natural* castration of a god into a god of pure goodness would hold no attraction at all. Evil gods are just as necessary as the good ones: after all, people do not exactly owe their own existence to tolerance and love of humanity."

            "Of course: when a people is destroyed, when it feels that its belief in the future, its hope for freedom, is irretrievably fading away, when it becomes conscious of subjugation as its first principle of utility and conscious of the virtues of the subjugated as the conditions of its preservation, then its god will necessarily change as well. He will become modest and full of fear, he will cringe in corners and recommend 'peace of soul', forbearance, an end to hatred, and 'love' of friends and enemies. He will constantly moralize, he will creep into the crevices of every private virtue, he will be a god for one and all, a private and cosmopolitan god ."

            "Whenever the will to power falls off in any way, there will also be physiological decline, decadence. And when the most masculine virtues and drives have been chopped off the god of decadence, he will necessarily turn into a god of the physiologically retrograde, the weak. They do not call themselves weak, they call themselves 'the good' ... There is no great mystery as to when, historically, the dualistic fiction of good and evil gods becomes possible. With the same instincts they use to reduce their god to 'goodness in itself', the subjugated scratch out the good qualities from their conquerors' god. They take revenge by *demonizing* their masters' god. - The *good* God as well as the devil: both are rotten fruits of decadence"

            Yes, the term "god" is operational in the evolutionary framework. No metaphysics required. Whatever you term "god" is emergent via environmental filtering.
            In case of cultural evolution, "thoughts". And metaphysics itself is but a perceptual artifact.

            I’ve read the source and I see no justification. Point out to me where you see the justification exactly. Summarize it in your own words if you like. From where I’m sitting it seems to only beg the question. He makes a lot of claims about what is the case, what happens, but absolutely nothing at all about how he knows that. Hence, the lack of justification. But go ahead and prove me wrong.

            Even your final paragraph is unjustified. No metaphysics required but apparently you know what God is and what thought is. What are these if not metaphysical? You seem to believe there’s an evolutionary framework. How do you know that? How do you know that terms are conditioned by environment? All you’ve done is asserting things as being the case without justifying any of them.

            This is why I think Nietzscheans are moronic. You don’t actually know anything at all about philosophy.

            Metaphysics is a perceptual artifact. An unstable undefinable thingamabob that each and every philosopher has one's own ideas about.
            Which means, it is much more likely a signal of a query error.

            "which means the emptiest, most universal ideas, the last wisps of smoke from the evaporating end of reality"

            >You seem to believe there’s an evolutionary framework. How do you know that?
            Through not dying. Passive environmental filtration.
            And there is no such THING as evolutionary framework, just as there is no such THING as a hole. It is functionally dependent on what it is not. Yet, unlike metaphysics/God, it is stable enough to *work*.

      It's astounding to me that IQfy Christians harbor such hatred for a man they've clearly read NOTHING about. I actively try not to hate Christians but you prove yourselves to be so full of spite and resentment and blind hatred at any criticism of yourselves.

          They’re attracted to the aesthetic of Nietzscheanism. If he was right about one thing, it’s that many, many people will accept “truth” on an aesthetic basis alone.

    He accepted baselessly basically that all religion was just a means of maintaining power-dynamics, and that meaning, to the degree it exists at all, is basically irrational and largely intuitive and derived from a historical and aesthetic appreciation alone. He arrived at this conclusion in part by idealizing the Greeks and going down the schizophrenic rabbit hole to imagine that he could understand how the Greeks experienced the world and then he could ape them. So for Nietzsche, the task was to set up a pseudo-religious cult centered around giving meaning to life via aesthetics and a sort of historicity about yourself and who you are.

    He says basically “Look, religion is bullshit, but ethics power dynamics really do exist. They are just the result of power dynamics. I prefer the ones that unfold something I find aesthetically nice through history, so I’m going to call you to the ethics I find suitable for those ends.” The problem with Nietzsche is not that he appreciates history and aesthetics or that he recognizes that power dynamics are at work beneath the surface. It’s that his presuppositions are totally baseless and unquestioned. If Nietzsche is right, then so is the CIA if they infiltrate the Vatican and turn Roman Catholicism into a globohomosexual cult and Nietzscheans shouldn’t say shit about that because their own foundational suppositions imply that’s just how it is. Ironically, the single best refutation of Nietzsche I’ve ever read was in the final chapters of Oswald Spengler’s Decline of the West, where he explains how Nietzsche’s ethics derive from his claims about philosophy and history, which are, simply put, patently bullshit and Spengler demonstrates this by going so far as to providing real history.

      "And ye tell me, friends, that there is to be no dispute about taste and tasting? But all life is a dispute about taste and tasting!
      Taste: that is weight at the same time, and scales and weigher; and alas for every living thing that would live without dispute about weight and scales and weigher!"

      "And this do I say also to the o’erthrowers of statues: It is certainly the greatest folly to throw salt into the sea, and statues into the mud.
      In the mud of your contempt lay the statue: but it is just its law, that out of contempt, its life and living beauty grow again!
      With diviner features doth it now arise, seducing by its suffering; and verily! it will yet thank you for o’erthrowing it, ye subverters!
      This counsel, however, do I counsel to kings and churches, and to all that is weak with age or virtue—let yourselves be o’erthrown! That ye may again come to life, and that virtue—may come to you!—”"

      Aloft will it build itself with columns and stairs—life itself: into remote distances would it gaze, and out towards blissful beauties—*therefore* doth it require elevation!
      And because it requireth elevation, therefore doth it require steps, and variance of steps and climbers! To rise striveth life, and in rising to surpass itself."

      "Verily, I say unto you: good and evil which would be everlasting—it doth not exist! Of its own accord must it ever surpass itself anew.
      With your values and formulae of good and evil, ye exercise power, ye valuing ones: and that is your secret love, and the sparkling, trembling, and overflowing of your souls.
      But a stronger power groweth out of your values, and a new surpassing: by it breaketh egg and egg-shell.
      And he who hath to be a creator in good and evil— verily, he hath first to be a destroyer, and break values in pieces.
      Thus doth the greatest evil pertain to the greatest good: that, however, is the creating good.—"

    Nietzscheans always expose themselves as pseudointellectual. The entire philosophy is “I don’t know much about Christianity or even history but I think history demonstrates that Christianity is false and bad as evidenced by how gay everything got precisely at the time where Christians started coincidentally becoming not-Christian.” Utterly moronic lmfao.

    This is the philosophical power of Nietzscheans LOL. At least one of you implicitly admitted that Nietzsche is basically just Luciferian poetry and not real philosophy so that’s good.

    Leo Strauss was 100% right about Nietzsche. His philosophy boils down to basically polemic founded on a sort of religious belief. Even though he professes himself to be an atheist, and indeed is an atheist in the strict technical sense of the term, he’s the sort of atheist that is waiting for, desperate for a God, and specifically the sort of God that’s contextualized by Christian religion and Christian culture. The questions to ask about Nietzsche are not just whether his claims are actually philosophically justified, but also assuming they are, why the God that he’s waiting for, can’t just be a different conception of the Christian God. In truth, there is no answer because a different conception of the Christian God could easily dismiss all of his ethical disagreements.

        Strauss mentioned Nietzsche, along with others, in many of his writings, all of which are accessible relatively easily. Lucky for you, I just summed up one of his many takes in his essay on Existentialism. You can read it yourself here if you don’t like my summary:
        https://ia902806.us.archive.org/10/items/LeoStraussExistentialism1956Integral_201810/Leo%20Strauss%20-%20%27%27Existentialism%27%27%20%5B1956%3B%20integral%5D.pdf
        So you can stop pretending that nothing of note was said.

            He’s one of maybe three 20th century philosophers of note that aren’t CIA-boosted French post-modernists. Everyone that’s engaged with Nietzsche and Nietzschean philosophy knows who Leo Strauss is lol. He was a student of Heidegger ffs. Even strict classicists and medievalists know who this guy is. If you don’t know shit, just say “hey I don’t know who this is because I don’t actually read or engage with philosophy”. It’s okay.

            While somewhat true, that was not his only contribution. Strauss correctly pointed out the dead end of existentialism and faulty presuppositions in both Nietzsche and Heidegger. Cutting away dead brush is in my mind a contribution. He was also one of the foremost scholars of Classical Philosophy which is unquestionably a contribution.

      >His philosophy boils down to basically polemic
      No, his philosophy boils down to basically cognitive neurobiology. 'Ought' is genealogically/evolutionary subjected to 'is', and it is the question of performing 'healthy' behaviour instead of being locked in a decadent disgenic one.

      >specifically the sort of God that’s contextualized by Christian religion and Christian culture
      Dionysus? Antichrist?

      >why the God that he’s waiting for, can’t just be a different conception of the Christian God.
      Because whatever the Christian God dictated, Nietzsche stands against. Hence, the God would not be a Christian one.

      >How could someone proceed with non-Christian ethics if Westerners abandoned God but God still really is real and does exist?
      "God is a conjecture: but who could drink all the bitterness of this conjecture without dying? Shall his faith be taken from the creating one, and from the eagle his flights into eagle-heights?
      God is a thought—it maketh all the straight crooked, and all that standeth reel. What? Time would be gone, and all the perishable would be but a lie?
      To think this is giddiness and vertigo to human limbs, and even vomiting to the stomach: verily, the reeling sickness do I call it, to conjecture such a thing.
      Evil do I call it and misanthropic: all that teaching about the one, and the plenum, and the unmoved, and the sufficient, and the imperishable!
      All the imperishable—that’s but a simile, and the poets lie too much.—
      But of time and of becoming shall the best similes speak: a praise shall they be, and a justification of all perishableness!
      Creating—that is the great salvation from suffering, and life’s alleviation. But for the creator to appear, suffering itself is needed, and much transformation."

      "The fact that we have not rediscovered God, either in history or in nature or behind nature: this is not what separates us. Rather, we are separated by the fact that we view the thing worshipped as God as pathetic, absurd, and harmful, not as 'divine'; the fact that we do not treat it as a simple error but as a *crime against life* ... We deny that God is God ... If someone were to prove this Christian God to us, we would believe in him even less. - In a word: *deus, qualem Paulus creavit, dei negatio*.[God, as created by Paul, is a negation of God.]"

          At the center of Nietzsche’s philosophy is not knowing, truth as subjectivity and a revaluation of values. Of course you can do what you will at this point and create your own way of operating, and maybe that’s kind of the point. But at that point what is even left of your faith and the virtue that it’s supposed to uphold?
