One time a priest asked Buddha “is there a god?” Buddha said “no.” All of Buddha’s followers around him started to believe there was no god, the priest quit his job, people started accepting themselves as they were because then they knew there was no eternal damnation or reward. Then, an atheist who made a career off of philosophy and convincing people that there was no god asked Buddha if there was a god. Buddha said “there is a god”. All of his followers were confused, then Buddha said “it’s your choice, if living as if there is a god gives your life purpose and makes you a better person, then go ahead. If living as if there was no God makes you feel free and helps you achieve your goals then go on.”
uwau enlightenment is heavily misunderstood. When you remove the ego, your view of the world is way different. You realize that we call it “life” because the universe itself is ALIVE, you realize that as people we are all the same consciousness, bound to different bodies and have lived different experiences, likely over many lifetimes, with the inevitable illusion that we are seperate people, you realize that even someone as powerful as Jesus Christ can’t live for a minute without the air that the trees provide, you realize that pleasure and suffering are just two different sensations and that how we deal with these impacts our life more than the sensations themselves, you realize that we are all extremely small parts of one large story, you realize your thoughts are just chatter that distract you from the moment, once you realize these, you are somewhat of an enlightened being. It’s not some grandiose thing that one achieves. Buddha was a man like you and me, who was shown two contrasts in life and from that was able to SEE

The way I interpret the Übermensch is that it’s not so much an attainable goal, but a peripheral ‘ghost’ that forces us to keep striving for greatness; ‘everything flows, nothing stands still.’ Even men Nietzsche acknowledged as great - Goethe, Caesar, Thucydides, Heraclitus, Da Vinci (possibly) - are never bestowed the title of Übermensch in Nietzsche’s writings. Primarily because if an individual attained the zenith of human capability, Nihilism, unfortunately, would be inescapable. Therefore, ‘higher men’ must not subscribe to the notion of reaching a ‘final’ state of being or conscious - the ‘goal line’ (as it were) must always be in the distance to preserve the chaotic curiosity of man. Just my thoughts. Nice video, btw!
Like the SuperEgo as the Gods of tradition/spirit of the father, or seeking ones higher self, working through the process of individuation and self actualization. Like how enlightenment is the way, and not something that you attain and finish. The idea of constant self improvement, focus on excellence everyday, growing in excellence everyday. Humility in ones insufficient present condition but knowledge that practice and continuation will bring improvement and meaning. The ghost of judgment that motivates one not to lay on the couch all day eating Cheetos and watching Judge Judy.
what you describe is inherently nihilistic and a self perpetuating cosmology/worldview that in itself offers no escape from meaninglesness. the budha's description of desirelesness being the final goalpost, nihilism and the pursuit of meaning, as in, desiring to ascend, is the mechanism. it's in this dualism that should one go back and forth enough, the common thread between both states will eventually reveal itself. non-dualism can only be experienced once one has a wide exposure to the spectrum of reality, from absolute meaninglesness to absolute meaning. a non-dual human is the ubermensch, one that has transcended ideology and hence views the world not through perception, but sees clearly, objectively, a state that through logical rationalization one could only conclude to be impossible.

I took an existentialism course in college and really fell in love with Nietzsche. Especially the idea of the infinite recurrence. Anytime my life feels dark and ugly, I go back and read that passage again. It, to me, is the most motivational thing I've ever read. Great video. Thank you for making it.
@DardanFilms because no research actually indicates that "god is dead" is referring to societies abandonment of God. especially during the 19th century when people could be killed for going against the bible
Man, I suffer from anxiety and often think about how pointless everything is and how terrible humanity is, but then I remember: “so what, there are still other experiences I want to have, a bit of pain is worth it”
That is what the man boils down to. Find meaning in the suffering and struggle, see the beauty in it and see the beauty in life. Its a ride have fun and learn about yourself
Why take the words of some clearly miserable dude whether he admits it or not though? Have you ever looked into Jesus, who he was, and what he did. Life ain't pointless, the world just wants you to believe so. God did die... for your sins and he proved that nothing would stop him from saving you as long as you want to be saved, repent, and trust in Jesus. Don't shoot the messenger. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Dziordan1 Nietzsche was by no means at all a progenitor of Nazism. He wrote vociferously against the proto-Nazis of his day, criticizing deeply both German culture and State power. Furthermore he wrote with great admiration for the Jewish people and absolutely abhorred anti-Semites, even going so far as to call for every anti-Semite to be shot in the street in one of his "Mad Letters" after losing his sanity. The only reason he is associated with Nazism is because his antisemitic sister published highly abridged manuscripts of his works/unpublished notes and promoted them amongst members of the Third Reich.
Nietzsche has kept me going. I don't understand everything I read from him, but the things that I do, hit me like thunderbolts. His philosophy and writing is constantly bringing me back from my own existential abyss.
Me too, his philosophy is so powerful... My favorite quote is from the geneology of morality... There is no greater misunderstanding than to start doubting about your right to happiness
I love his writing because you can just feel the passion in what he writes. He’s not writing for money or fame, he has important things he himself ponders and questions and wants to write about them in an attempt philosophize about them. I wish I could read the original texts but even the translations are golden.

As someone who's religious, I really appreciate Nietzsche, he came across different, and made difference. He was fighting two ideologies that could potentially destroy society if they took over: Nihilism with his meaningful philosophy and non-logical faith in god with his skepticism. I feel bad that his statement about god's death often gets miss-interpreted, and taken literally instead of the great values and context it held.
“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”― Friedrich Nietzsche--------- Quote the whole thing or you can skew its meaning.
@Stone Wolf A god at least have to be glorified, if you are talking about individually, that's narcissistic as fuck, if you are talking as a whole, well, human society is composed by some ren aissance things so, it's a 50/50, you are (almost) the one who makes your life(it's hard to explain without going with beliefs, sorry), tied with some lucky (bro, i'm a native spanish speaker, sorry for the rant, if you want me to clarify something plz let me know)
It took me a decade of being casually interested in philosophy before I learned that Nietzsche actually cared a whole lot about why things are meaningful. The whole phenomenon of edgy nihilists taking his words at face value is a massive cultural tragedy.
I love Nietzsche and I feel really privileged, as a native speaker, to be able to understand his complex thoughts in the language he brought them up in.

Yeah, at first Nietzsche didn't really criticise Wagner for it because he was like a father figure to him and Nietzsche really wanted to please him. But after their split (caused by several things, such as Nietzsche kinda realising the Toxicity of Bayreuth and how he would quickly be made into "nothing" if he stopped being useful) he actually openly criticised Wagner for being antisemitic
“And at the end of these symbolic deaths and rebirths of our bodies and minds, we reach our actual deaths as individuals, where the very matter that made us who we were-bodies, minds, and all that goes with them-shall be once and for all transformed from men into something else entirely.”
I got an ad half way through and it was saying “if your seeing this, chances are it’s nighttime. Here are two things you should know; you have a loving, caring god thats there for you...”
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. We can have children and be reborn as children of God. Also, The solution to nihilism is to act as if the Christian God exists, and to follow His command, and find yourself living a more meaningful life than you had before, because now you will always have a reason to do what is good, and someone to see that. Having faith in God is not about finding proof that he exists, but is instead about doing what He asks us to even when you're not sure if He's really there.
@Fluffynator Sure, we still exhibit tribalism in many, many ways: the herd instinct.. Our desire to belong to a group is as strong as ever. Slave morality and herd instinct are complementary aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy.

@@heroninja1125 interestingly, oxytocin not only encourages connections to your family & those closest to you, but at the same time encourages within us that distinction of "us" VS "them".

It's a very strange thing to watch when you're on the outside of it, when viewing the couple OR the racist radicals it seems like insanity to us. In a way it truly is. When we are not under the influence of this powerful neurochemical, we see with clarity the absurdity of behavior...at the same time it has been part of the reason we have survived. Opiates mimic this neurotransmitter & not only will we see a disconnect from loved ones when someone develops an addiction to it, but also literal bonding behavior with the drug itself along with addicts demonstrating a protective reaction against anything or anyone who threatens that bond.
"In 1882, a sickly German man penned these words" - what a total Sisyphus 55 way to introduce Nietzsche. It brought a smile to my face 5 seconds into the video. Love it.
You may want to update this video regarding Nietzsche's poor health. The syphilis rumor was just a smear campaign against him. It is now strongly believed that a brain tumor was causing most of his health issues.
When I was taking a philosophy class in college, my professor went on a rant about how she was the first professor there that had more than a bachelor's in philosophy. As such there were people teaching Nietzsche that didn't understand Nietzsche. Her brief summary of Nietzsche "He believed that a true good and true evil could only exist if God decreed them so and that God doesn't exist to do this. His quest for the "ubermensch" was to find someone completely unbound by emotion and society to figure out what morals they would have as he figured those would necessarily be more rational, the closest we've found to this are sociopaths and his guess at their morals is pretty accurate. Either due to disease or his eccentric nature, he said this in a long-winded and obtuse fashion." That's my memory of what she said 7ish years ago, and obviously, she was just going off and oversimplified things, but I've felt it much easier to understand Nietzsche since then.
@@chiiko7090 The ubermensch is not a 'Superman' in that it is not someone superior to others. Ubermensch is supposed to be one that is someone unbound by societal pressures or taboos. So this is someone attempting to create a logical society, theft or murder aren't inherently bad. What types of rules would someone like this come up with? The more sociopathic you are the less you care about the taboos and social pressures you experience. As such when the create moral frameworks it is more about positive and negative outcomes. You don't steal because you could get caught, as a society we shouldn't steal because it would lead to chaos or cause people to become vindictive. The difference is a sociopath would end it there. The ubermensch is not uncaring, and would recognize the harm it would cause others also. There's obviously some overlap, being disinterested with social taboo, with the difference being in the more normal emotional processing of the ubermensch.
Ironically, following the metaphor of dying over and over to re-discover ourselves. On a scientific scale, this process is automatic. The person we are when we are born, and the person we are now are completely different. Completely new cells, w/ the previous dying off and being cast away. Our body's architecture is composed nearly 50/50 of organisms that weren't even from our original bodies. The person we think we are, isn't who we think we are; and at what point, do we justify thinking we know ourselves?
Also, adrenaline junkies and people who live in awful climates seem to lead happy lives, despite being on the brink of death every day. Hotter climates maybe less so, but ppl who live in extreme cold seem to be much happier on a global scale, despite their living conditions.
@@bobzilla-1 I think hotter climates provides a more comfortable lifestyle to people there and therefore induces laziness over the centuries since there were little need to constantly adapt and develop (technology) for survival. Just my thoughts, although this idea is rather shallow & simplistic
@@dawwnbrk3r653 It makes sense though. Without stimulation or purpose, a reason to fight every day. If everything is easy on a day-to-day basis then it's hard to notice what makes you feel alive. I remember a very simplified example of this: There was a study on mice, they were kept captive in a large multi-structured pen where they had endless food, water, and options to breed. But eventually they all just died off, lost the will to live bc they had nothing to do other than fuck, eat, drink, and wait for their shit to be swept out. Without any predators to run from, any toy to play with, they had no purpose, and just gave up.
@@dawwnbrk3r653 I would not say laziness, that's a pritty loaded term. Id suggest that colder climates forced the inhabitants to build more complicated structures to keep out the elements, also forcing them to spend more time indoors therefore leading to more time thinking about things rather than doing them. I may have read that theory in a book called guns, germs and steel. It was a long time ago...
Really good share. Particularly glad you highlighted the point that suffering or pain are necessary in living what can be deemed a meaningful. I've been thinking a lot on the subject lately and ultimately have issues with the point that always seeking pleasure leads to a feeling of emptiness, as there's no challenge
to play devils advocate, hedonism doesn't necessarily mean that you will seek pleasure avoid pain in every situation. i believe the pain is necessary because it makes the pleasurable experiences seem even greater. For example, i'm a complete introvert, but i obligatorily go to big parties once every month or so. i still see this as being in line with utilitarianism.
@@saggysackstudios Exactly this. Also, consider that going too far with hedonism in the moment will tend to prevent more good in the future. If spend all your money on heroin then you might have a great time, but the crash and burn will be even worse and you'll have no money to pick yourself back up. Also, there's a difference between morality and how we act, we can consent to experiencing the pain and suffering of life but we can't consent for others, so just standing by and saying "without this your life would be empty and meaningless" is just ridiculous, humans are a social species, we do a lot better when we work together and help each other
@michaelmode Interesting point but not sure I really agree if I'm honest, as I think suffering (or pain as I originally said) isn't restricted to just survival or extreme cases such as terminal illness. Moreso I certainly don't consider my acceptance of pain and suffering as a part of life as an excuse, it's just an inevitability that we all have to face at times.
Basically Nietzsche also says, that we have killed god, and have to create a new divine being in his place, called "The Übermensch", the next step in human evolution. But in trying this we basically become creators ourselves, but not creators of lesser beings than ourselves (Like the christian god) but more powerful ones. So we basically become gods while trying to create gods. I really like the dynamic in his philosophy, it's really sad, that his work has been obscured by his nazi sister...
This is a great video. I'm currently reading through thus spoke zarathustra again since highschool and it is more enlightening the second time. I feel the philosophy of the ubermensch helps me to improve myself each day and this video is a great representation of all I've taught myself about Nietzsche. I hope more people see this video
You should consider watching lectures of professor Jordan B. Peterson, because he is very influenced by Nietzsche. Also I found that every line of that book contains too much meaning, that you should read carefully, making notes.
That part about finding ones self hits home. Ive never been one to really be too into vapid amenities in life, like just going out and doing stuff. I’ve always been a much more introverted person and it’s really hard to express who I am to others or even say what I really think. I also tend to think negatively about the world and my surroundings while also having the greatest hope for everything. I’m hopeful in things but also really hopeless at the same time. So I like the idea of someone as famous as Nietzsche struggling with the same issues in his life and seeing how he lived and was still somehow hopeful in humanity.
The thought I liked the most was that life is suffering either way, so you might aswell make your own and channel it towards a state in which you can be happy anyway. Like how working out is suffering, but so is being fat, latter one just often comes with feeling bad about yourself
in your teenage years you prolly had that big thonk moment.. a new concept boutta unravel the meaning of life, it makes you feel special.. after reading a bit, you realize that you were not the first one who came up with it, it has been thought before..

Nietzsche was NOT a nihilist .Read chapter 1 - beyond good and evil (at the close of this chapter he asks us to become psychologists, as he once was) to make psychology the Queen of the sciences.
Nietzsche got out of Nihilism. He died so he could give us a glimpse of hope. He nudged us on the side so we could look up. Up into the light. Now it is up to us to interpret the meaning within it.

“God is dead” is his observation of societies abandonment of God. Why do people always attribute this to him being an atheist?
@DardanFilms because no research actually indicates that "god is dead" is referring to societies abandonment of God.
especially during the 19th century when people could be killed for going against the bible
I always thought that was the case because I’d never heard the entire quote before. Context matters

@Dziordan1 Nietzsche was by no means at all a progenitor of Nazism.
He wrote vociferously against the proto-Nazis of his day, criticizing deeply both German culture and State power.
Furthermore he wrote with great admiration for the Jewish people and absolutely abhorred anti-Semites, even going so far as to call for every anti-Semite to be shot in the street in one of his "Mad Letters" after losing his sanity.
The only reason he is associated with Nazism is because his antisemitic sister published highly abridged manuscripts of his works/unpublished notes and promoted them amongst members of the Third Reich.
It was his sister that was nAzi
Jawohl
Not just Germans lol
Andrew Wenger did you mean to say “proponent of Nazism”?
Nietzsche has kept me going. I don't understand everything I read from him, but the things that I do, hit me like thunderbolts. His philosophy and writing is constantly bringing me back from my own existential abyss.
Me too, his philosophy is so powerful... My favorite quote is from the geneology of morality... There is no greater misunderstanding than to start doubting about your right to happiness
I love his writing because you can just feel the passion in what he writes. He’s not writing for money or fame, he has important things he himself ponders and questions and wants to write about them in an attempt philosophize about them. I wish I could read the original texts but even the translations are golden.

Good idea
you say again as if it has before
As someone who's religious, I really appreciate Nietzsche, he came across different, and made difference. He was fighting two ideologies that could potentially destroy society if they took over: Nihilism with his meaningful philosophy and non-logical faith in god with his skepticism. I feel bad that his statement about god's death often gets miss-interpreted, and taken literally instead of the great values and context it held.
I don't mind bc it serves as a litmus test to see who actually read Nietzsche vs casual idealogues

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?

Wagner was also mad antisemitic which is also a big reason for their split
Yeah, at first Nietzsche didn't really criticise Wagner for it because he was like a father figure to him and Nietzsche really wanted to please him. But after their split (caused by several things, such as Nietzsche kinda realising the Toxicity of Bayreuth and how he would quickly be made into "nothing" if he stopped being useful) he actually openly criticised Wagner for being antisemitic
Funnily enough it was the music that was the problem. If he was that bothered about the anti Semitism he would have told his sister to eff off
Thank you. This is a beautiful testament to a man of great sensitivity and wisdom. Wonderfully narrated and illustrated. Love your style.

the solution to nihalism is not to have children to find a new meaning in life, but to be reborn as children ourselves with every posibility we have
I been looking for this comment since I heard about nihilism
Bro........ 🥺
That's anti-natalism
existentialism is pretty lit. nothing matters so lets love at least since its all we got
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. We can have children and be reborn as children of God. Also, The solution to nihilism is to act as if the Christian God exists, and to follow His command, and find yourself living a more meaningful life than you had before, because now you will always have a reason to do what is good, and someone to see that. Having faith in God is not about finding proof that he exists, but is instead about doing what He asks us to even when you're not sure if He's really there.
Deconstructing morals all the way back to slave morality blew my mind, it makes so much sense and is wild to to see repercussions due to it today.
@Fluffynator Sure, we still exhibit tribalism in many, many ways: the herd instinct.. Our desire to belong to a group is as strong as ever. Slave morality and herd instinct are complementary aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy.

@@heroninja1125 interestingly, oxytocin not only encourages connections to your family & those closest to you, but at the same time encourages within us that distinction of "us" VS "them". Demonstrated not only in things like the dehumanizing attitude when discussing "out groups" like liberal v conservatism or varied religious beliefs, but even looking at a new couple during the "honeymoon" phase...those 3 months or so where they fall off the earth from family & friends and "cocoon" together. It's a very strange thing to watch when you're on the outside of it, when viewing the couple OR the racist radicals it seems like insanity to us. In a way it truly is. When we are not under the influence of this powerful neurochemical, we see with clarity the absurdity of behavior...at the same time it has been part of the reason we have survived.
Opiates mimic this neurotransmitter & not only will we see a disconnect from loved ones when someone develops an addiction to it, but also literal bonding behavior with the drug itself along with addicts demonstrating a protective reaction against anything or anyone who threatens that bond.
Democracy = slavery. Autocracy here I come!
"In 1882, a sickly German man penned these words" - what a total Sisyphus 55 way to introduce Nietzsche. It brought a smile to my face 5 seconds into the video. Love it.
You may want to update this video regarding Nietzsche's poor health. The syphilis rumor was just a smear campaign against him. It is now strongly believed that a brain tumor was causing most of his health issues.
When I was taking a philosophy class in college, my professor went on a rant about how she was the first professor there that had more than a bachelor's in philosophy. As such there were people teaching Nietzsche that didn't understand Nietzsche. Her brief summary of Nietzsche "He believed that a true good and true evil could only exist if God decreed them so and that God doesn't exist to do this. His quest for the "ubermensch" was to find someone completely unbound by emotion and society to figure out what morals they would have as he figured those would necessarily be more rational, the closest we've found to this are sociopaths and his guess at their morals is pretty accurate. Either due to disease or his eccentric nature, he said this in a long-winded and obtuse fashion."
That's my memory of what she said 7ish years ago, and obviously, she was just going off and oversimplified things, but I've felt it much easier to understand Nietzsche since then.
Could you expound more about the ubermensch and sociopath?
@@chiiko7090 The ubermensch is not a 'Superman' in that it is not someone superior to others. Ubermensch is supposed to be one that is someone unbound by societal pressures or taboos. So this is someone attempting to create a logical society, theft or murder aren't inherently bad. What types of rules would someone like this come up with?
The more sociopathic you are the less you care about the taboos and social pressures you experience. As such when the create moral frameworks it is more about positive and negative outcomes. You don't steal because you could get caught, as a society we shouldn't steal because it would lead to chaos or cause people to become vindictive.
The difference is a sociopath would end it there. The ubermensch is not uncaring, and would recognize the harm it would cause others also. There's obviously some overlap, being disinterested with social taboo, with the difference being in the more normal emotional processing of the ubermensch.
Ironically, following the metaphor of dying over and over to re-discover ourselves. On a scientific scale, this process is automatic. The person we are when we are born, and the person we are now are completely different. Completely new cells, w/ the previous dying off and being cast away. Our body's architecture is composed nearly 50/50 of organisms that weren't even from our original bodies. The person we think we are, isn't who we think we are; and at what point, do we justify thinking we know ourselves?
Also, adrenaline junkies and people who live in awful climates seem to lead happy lives, despite being on the brink of death every day. Hotter climates maybe less so, but ppl who live in extreme cold seem to be much happier on a global scale, despite their living conditions.
@@bobzilla-1 I think hotter climates provides a more comfortable lifestyle to people there and therefore induces laziness over the centuries since there were little need to constantly adapt and develop (technology) for survival. Just my thoughts, although this idea is rather shallow & simplistic
@@dawwnbrk3r653 It makes sense though. Without stimulation or purpose, a reason to fight every day. If everything is easy on a day-to-day basis then it's hard to notice what makes you feel alive. I remember a very simplified example of this:
There was a study on mice, they were kept captive in a large multi-structured pen where they had endless food, water, and options to breed. But eventually they all just died off, lost the will to live bc they had nothing to do other than fuck, eat, drink, and wait for their shit to be swept out.
Without any predators to run from, any toy to play with, they had no purpose, and just gave up.
@@bobzilla-1 that's very interesting and makes a lot of sense
@@dawwnbrk3r653 I would not say laziness, that's a pritty loaded term. Id suggest that colder climates forced the inhabitants to build more complicated structures to keep out the elements, also forcing them to spend more time indoors therefore leading to more time thinking about things rather than doing them.

Really good share. Particularly glad you highlighted the point that suffering or pain are necessary in living what can be deemed a meaningful. I've been thinking a lot on the subject lately and ultimately have issues with the point that always seeking pleasure leads to a feeling of emptiness, as there's no challenge
to play devils advocate, hedonism doesn't necessarily mean that you will seek pleasure avoid pain in every situation. i believe the pain is necessary because it makes the pleasurable experiences seem even greater. For example, i'm a complete introvert, but i obligatorily go to big parties once every month or so. i still see this as being in line with utilitarianism.
@@saggysackstudios Exactly this. Also, consider that going too far with hedonism in the moment will tend to prevent more good in the future. If spend all your money on heroin then you might have a great time, but the crash and burn will be even worse and you'll have no money to pick yourself back up. Also, there's a difference between morality and how we act, we can consent to experiencing the pain and suffering of life but we can't consent for others, so just standing by and saying "without this your life would be empty and meaningless" is just ridiculous, humans are a social species, we do a lot better when we work together and help each other
And the prove for this is the popularity of the Soulsborne game genre. Satisfaction=effort you made to achieve
@@saggysackstudios Very insightful point, thanks for sharing
@michaelmode Interesting point but not sure I really agree if I'm honest, as I think suffering (or pain as I originally said) isn't restricted to just survival or extreme cases such as terminal illness. Moreso I certainly don't consider my acceptance of pain and suffering as a part of life as an excuse, it's just an inevitability that we all have to face at times.
The Jordan Peterson ad before this adds so much to the proceedings
Basically Nietzsche also says, that we have killed god, and have to create a new divine being in his place, called "The Übermensch", the next step in human evolution. But in trying this we basically become creators ourselves, but not creators of lesser beings than ourselves (Like the christian god) but more powerful ones. So we basically become gods while trying to create gods.
I really like the dynamic in his philosophy, it's really sad, that his work has been obscured by his nazi sister...
Our beliefs become God and it ruled our emotion.
Sooo a God Emperor then? A man glorified into God hood.
“We become creators ourselves, of more powerful beings than ourselves” the singularity... creation of self learning AI

This statement was ruled out by Carl Jung by saying humans making their own values and abiding by it is nearly impossible for a normal person
This is a great video. I'm currently reading through thus spoke zarathustra again since highschool and it is more enlightening the second time. I feel the philosophy of the ubermensch helps me to improve myself each day and this video is a great representation of all I've taught myself about Nietzsche. I hope more people see this video
You should consider watching lectures of professor Jordan B. Peterson, because he is very influenced by Nietzsche. Also I found that every line of that book contains too much meaning, that you should read carefully, making notes.
Ego is just another nihilsm
It’s sad that the only thing I remembered about this guy from history class back in the day is that he got friendzoned tons of times
That part about finding ones self hits home. Ive never been one to really be too into vapid amenities in life, like just going out and doing stuff. I’ve always been a much more introverted person and it’s really hard to express who I am to others or even say what I really think. I also tend to think negatively about the world and my surroundings while also having the greatest hope for everything. I’m hopeful in things but also really hopeless at the same time. So I like the idea of someone as famous as Nietzsche struggling with the same issues in his life and seeing how he lived and was still somehow hopeful in humanity.
The thought I liked the most was that life is suffering either way, so you might aswell make your own and channel it towards a state in which you can be happy anyway. Like how working out is suffering, but so is being fat, latter one just often comes with feeling bad about yourself
I love how as he says the part of "dying as quick as we can to live again" he shows a video of a 60's rave with many hippies, loved that been there

Also narrator: He fell to the border of nihilism
The point is that the bulk of his philosophy was hostile to nihilistic tendencies, not that he never experienced moments of personal despair

Nietzsche got out of Nihilism. He died so he could give us a glimpse of hope. He nudged us on the side so we could look up. Up into the light. Now it is up to us to interpret the meaning within it.
