It's out of your control really. I thought Brian Leiter had made it quite clear that you can't just "will" greatness. You can only "happen to" find yourself great. If you do find yourself in greatness someday, Nietzsche suggests that you embrace it with zest and without a shred of doubt lest guilt. When we find someone else in greatness, Nietzsche also suggests that we glorify their greatness instead of pulling them down.
@@SuperAlphaKirbythat’s fair. I also think “greatness” is in the eyes of a beholder… a person who raises a family with a good moral compass and impacts the community in a positive way, is in my eyes a great person as well bc you need those people just as much as the ones that accomplish scientific advancements, etc.
I'm all for creative genius and greatness, but there's more to what Christians did that just raw drive for achieving great art with no end goal. That is why those pieces of art represent so much, they have a certain goal they strive (and clearly manage) to achieve, and without that they are meaningless, no matter how much they sacrifice for it. So yeah, I agree that there is no reason why we should maintain egalitarianism, but I highly doubt it that that is what Christians are trying to do. The goal of Christianity is that everyone rises to the standard that God intended for them, not that we all stay equally indifferent and ungreat. But that means neither that when someone achieves that intended greatness that they are God themselves nor that they rejected God.
But the notions of that shared standard are rooted first in the advantages and psychological dispositions of the slaves and oppressed, and over-proscribes what is suited to them to all (the restraint of desire, chastity, humbleness, etc). The lesser-known term Nietzsche gives to this is a morality of taming (from Twilight of the Idols, The Improvers of Mankind). Its not like that or the notion of slave morality are intended to describe the intentions or psychology or all practicing christians, but the sort of sentiments that gave rise to that standard which was then abstracted into a morality by the likes of Paul (whom he credits for really creating Christianity as we know it in the Antichrist). His comments about the renaissance popes give light to this too, as Florence was still Christian then but it was their lack of properly adhering to it that really made the greatness of the renaissance possible. That only went underground again when Martin Luther came to correct it...
Lol, this is Johnathan Bi's greatest lecture and i think he knows that he cannot do better which is why is is cut into pieces and recycled!!! It was so amazing it renewed my INTJ reflexes
Ah, but isn’t this such as Girard addresses? I can’t quote directly, but isn’t it safe to say that Girard dictates that we humble ourselves, in service of others? This, to me, doesn’t sound impossible. Just very, very difficult.
Gonna stop you right there homie @0:35 athletics is the only domain in which one can talk openly about defeating competition? What about the entire world of marketing, finance, corporate strategy, political campaigns, a billion plus industry of “get rich quick” self help books with a charlatan tough guy edge? Also may I ask a question: did you read the book?
Lmao “start ups work so well” what? Do you know the definition of start-up? You know they usually fail right? I am genuinely enthralled by how moronic every single point is, point by point. No serious philosopher or Nietzsche scholar or person who can read would agree that the motive force that brings all Nietzsche’s work together is “the higher man.” Read a real scholar like Brian Leiter or Paul Katsafanas, Maudemarie Clark or Walter Kaufman or Mattia Riccardi. Nietzsche would be rolling in his grave at the display of dim witted, ressentiment-filled microwave-warmed Great Man theory. The centerpiece of Nietzsche is a fine grained psycho-social anatomy of drives, of the wille zur macht, of the social construction of the subjective ego and of consciousness, of the torrent of forces and flux that constitute life. Nietzsche was a reactionary like you, yeah, but in no way does a lick of this get at what Nietzsche’s project was doing at all In fact you may be confusing him: Nietzsche usually refers to *Friedrich*, not Elizabeth Forster-Nietzsche

Yeah he’s being performative. But that’s fine cause this is an audience and he’s giving a lecture. I don’t think he has much experience doing lectures.
I don't know anything about this guy but I'm fairly certain this is not an actual lecture but a constructed set with hired people as the audience, it looks very artificial which adds to the disingenuous feeling that you have. He is very engaging but all of it has this air of "fake it till you make it", I don't personally enjoy the cinematic flair with the lighting so carefully set up and the zooming camera angles etc. but I'll admit the content stands out. Maybe this is all very common practice in lectures that I'm unaware of and I'm a total moron for pointing all this out but that's what made me feel the same way you did with the content. I don't find this a negative aspect of the content necessarily, it's just not my preferred way of presentation and it comes down to stylistic and formal choices.
Yeah, but most have the desire to be glorified and lionized in some extent or another, as seen in “clout chasing” behavior via social media. But most are not willing to apply unflinching will to achieve greatness in anything they do, I don’t care if it’s just a man trying to get laid. Most would just rather complain about how shit has changed in moderninty
Great masters are great at making decisions as they are presented them, not investing themselves into the philosophies of other people. Whatever you train yourself to become (which will have to be done constantly until your death), you will only ever have the moment of which you are in now, that we all share. Reject identity, become aware.
Hey. I like your channel. You look too young to be a philosopher... you need long grey, straggly hair! Nietzche is great... though not exactly easy reading. You have read a lot of books that are on my to do list. Good work sir!
why settle for mediocrity when you can achieve greatness?
Sometimes the cost of greatness isn't worth paying for. I wanna spend time with the people I love.
It's out of your control really. I thought Brian Leiter had made it quite clear that you can't just "will" greatness. You can only "happen to" find yourself great.

I’m the greatest mediocre guy!
@@Odihmantich the rules obey u.
So true even Beethoven example was spot on. Striving for greatness requires a competitive edge.
You have the wisdom of someone well beyond your years as well as your articulation ! Listening to you is like listening to to a symphony of knowledge

These people that are vibing with Nietzsche are scaring me yall calm down.
Bad boy era’s champion is Nietzsche
Johnathan Bi is collecting all the infinity stones (philosopher stones) to become the next Jordan🔥 soon he’ll know every thought😎
Great ideas and thought!
Yes!

Something about this guy is off. It feels disingenuous.
What makes you say this?
Yeah he’s being performative. But that’s fine cause this is an audience and he’s giving a lecture. I don’t think he has much experience doing lectures.
because his soul is not in accordance with virtue.
I was going to say tge same,he's not yet conformably himself @@TheScipioniCircle

Thank you for uploading these lectures!
Where’s that place?
Meritocracy is slave morality..
It is a privilege to provide as was revealed with covid
I think using tech and athletes as an example is poor. The idea that we all want to be a Kobe or a Jobs is not accurate

if everyone was so great (creative genius) that would just be new regular 😂
