One of my favourite quotes from Nietzsche (from the 3rd essay in genealogy iirc) goes something like this: man would rather will nothingness than will nothing at all. That is, in nihilism and depression, we will ourselves into a catatonic state of hibernation, the lowest possible state of physical energy to sustain a painful and self-pitying wakefulness -- so strong is the power of our will that we are driven to kill ourselves rather than endure willing nothing at all. I am reminded of this insight everytime I impulsively entertain depressive or suicidal thoughts. Certainly, a creature whose will is strong enough to drive its body and spirit to death is a powerful one. And I say to myself, "if I am powerful enough to kill myself, I must also be powerful enough to live."
I always say this and people think I’m crazy. It’s power you want, internal power, power to be able to get through anything. THAT leads to happiness. Not power to manipulate others but to manipulate your own ego
It's power over self. To control yourself, to wield mind and body like an instrument of your will, use it for your goals, move on when the goal is accomplished or no longer gives you lasting satisfaction. Dream of overcoming that which boasts to hinder you, watch your power gain. Overcome yourself and see that your power increases.
The Nietz's main theme is that most men live in fear and seek to comply. You see this most clearly in modern man's weakness in intersexual relations, how man responds to the pummeling he gets in divorce court, etc... the nietz would despise today's nice guy. The Kierk said most men wear a mask.
@@junxu4438 lol Nietzsche could have lost his mind for several reasons we don’t know. Your mind is actually always seeking dopamine so to attempt overcome your mind is the opposite. Which takes discipline.
"Written laws are like spiders’ webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them." ~ Anacharsis
Reflection is truly key. Humanity should dare to look deep within, but it should also accept that more than mere physical Reflection is required for true, celestial enlightenment. "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)
“The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified.” - Nietzsche When these two insights are taken together, what great soul is able to take in the world for what it is, and then do something worthy with it? Has not every human thus far come up short? I, for myself, still have hope that such an individual is possible. To take in the horrors of reality and redeem them through acts that bring real value to all future generations.
All good people come from weak babies. Women are physically weaker than most men, men come from women. Sex (not rape) can't happen unless two people stop fighting and competing for resources become vulnerable to each other (weak) and create pleasure and often life. Seeds are weaker than trees. Self sacrifice comes from apearing weak yet it creates powerful societies. Ghandi used weakness, defeated a huge empire. Water is soft and weak, yet over time wears down mountains. Dude was wrong, wrong wrong. And in his life all his philosophy gave hiom no power drove him mad, got him syphillis.
@@deejin25 If you are weaker (less capable) than your peers you will feel a sense of inferiority. That feeling of vulnerability rather than self assurance can lead to depression,anxiety,and envy. This is not a place where a healthy mind exists and you will desperately try to push to get out of that state. That's why a wounded animal is more dangerous than one that is fully capable, because it knows it is a vulnerable target.
@@deejin25 you're barking at the wrong tree. Physical weakness is not the point here whatsoever. But inner weakness Is. And it's a fact that all evil comes from inner weakness, whereas all good comes from inner strength
@@tantecosenelmondo2350 _Easy come, easy go._ We're talking character here. Obviously one can inherit big muscles or fail at anything, but you cannot be born with wisdom.

This can happen when the new world is open for some invasive species but that won't last, and if you species is on the top be sure that soon enough you will start competing within instead of the world outside (lion killing cubs, ant wars, pushing the weakest out of the tribe).
@tantecose you’re correct but look at these crypto guys they became rich by investing in a digital coin but they have no skill, theyre not stoic, they have no discipline, they’re unhappy , most of them don’t even have a network of influential people because they can’t provide value. So yes, there’s people who haven’t done much BUT exceptions don’t break the rule. Character is forged.
I find I am the most happiest when constant improvement and success has been scheduled out in a slow constant flow. Too much and I am overwhelmed. Too little and I lose sight. Constant and consistent growth provides a happiness that is real and lasting. The struggle is keeping the flow at just the right rate.
1:48 Power is enhancement of capacity. How to attain power: 3:03 Step 1: Set a goal that is meaningful & challenging, promotes health and well-being, is conducive to attaining personal excellence, and is self-chosen. 3:49 Step 2: Dedicate consistent time each days to accomplishing that goal 5:33 Step 3: Once achieved, put your goal behind you and set another goal.
This hamster wheel is predicated on everyone's ability to identify meaningful & worthwhile goals, which as the state of the world demonstrates, is not a universal trait. It's nice for a horse to have a carrot to chase, but even the fanciest carrot is still just a carrot.
'The formula for my happiness: a yes, a no; a straight line- a goal.' Nietzsche That is to say, pace Schopenhauer, our striving for self-improvement, quite apart from its actual outcome, promotes well-being. Just do it. RFGA, Ph.D.
Basically, I think Nietzsche encouraged us to get in touch with our inner power and work it out. Once we acknowledge our own power as something unique, then we work on our goals we're willing to achieve by using our same power. Our talents, skills, inclinations, or whatsoever must be worth discovering, and then putting into practice at the goals we set for ourselves, otherwise, we shall never realize what it's our purpose in life whereas we end up following the herd. Nietzsche called it "The moral of Servants"
I think the world learnt enough lessons from Nietzsche's idea. After he declared "God is dead", 20th century became the bloodiest century. Millions of people were enslaved and killed under the few "powerful" men. What kind of the society will it be if people are encouraged to be those powerful men? Nowadays the world elites are going to be those "powerful" men. They say we will have nothing (that means they will have everything) but will be happy. We will soon be enslaved by another powerful man. What shall we do? Go back to God! Love God and also love your neighbours. Do to others as you would have them do to you. That is the saving way. That is God's way. We are too far away from God for too long. God is never dead, Nietzsche is dead.
@@lighthouse3957 Nietzsche never meant the Will to Power was to exercise control over others. On the contrary, he called that "The Moral of the Weak". For Nietzsche the Will to Power was such a Reaffirmation to Life we all might do if we consider ourselves as Free Spirits. This Reaffirmation to Life consists of remaining optimistic towards every situation Life itself sets in our path. Whether a blessing or a disgrace it's a constant Say Yes to any of them, for if our Will to Power is strong, then we shall be able to overcome such a disgrace by activating our capacity to find creative solutions, or if we are blessed by the choices we have made, then we shall find the way to share them with the rest of the world, and make it a better place to live. For Nietzsche the Will to Power was a Free Spirit's characteristic which was able to overcome vicissitudes by turning into its own favor, and making them work for itself and for others, for that was how a Free Spirit honored Life. Nietzsche said "God is dead" because he tried to realize Modern Men did not have any need for religion. Rather, They believed in their own intellects as well as something concrete they themselves created. These Modern Men can be found in Politics, Business, Science, and generally speaking, in every manifest of human knowledge. Even in churches some preachers take God's Grace for granted, and make choices for themselves. They turn their Religion into Doctrinarism, and make their followers believe there is no other way to get Salvation from God, except they do whatever these same Preachers say to them. According to Nietzsche's Philosophy this kind of man who believes in his own Ego is called "The Last Man".
"The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."
The most important object to control in life is you, if you control you, you control the only object that matters to you, you! And you don’t need control anyone else!
The most important object to control in life is the external environment, because without that then you can not sustain the existence of "you". Does controlling yourself put food on the table, or realize your desires unto reality? Do not turn inwards as a last ditch effort, due to a weakness and inability to control the external.
I have never read Nietzsche before but I think he is right. In the case of suffering. I have had the misfortune to always be suffering. Ever since I was little.. later in my teens I developed severe auto immune disease that crippled me.. and also battled with bipolar depression. Until recently 4 years ago I went through a really rough patch mentally.. I really thought I was gonna have to just loose this fight. But one things that I found give me a more calm state and stable is being empowered. By knowledge and strength. being empowered I have notice give me more happiness. Especially with mental problems where I feel I have no control over my emotions. So what I now seek in this life is knowledge and strength. I always looking for ways to make my self more resilient against the battles of life. I always look to nature.. how animals and trees and all other especies have survive this nasty world. You have to be strong. And that is what I seek now. Strength power, Knowledge. Diet is key to strength.
It is helpful to be resolute and very very resilient,30 yrs of suffering on nearly every level,has taught me that you can survive the misery of it all,you must be strong!!!
@@nicp1978 survival is a very base goal though. Will to power goes beyond survival and is about creating excellence in all areas than simply “Surviving through life”
yes, dylan i think we all wish to strive for excellence and that wish/impulse is ever present at all times,underlying that I think is our very human instincts for our survival,mentally,physically,spiritu@@Selfconqueror7
Neatcha's philosophy isn't for everyone. My goal is to learn many things, but I am aware and accepting of the time when I will no longer be able to learn new things. But knowledge in itself exists without anyone to witness it, why does it matter that I tap into it only a little bit for a small amount of time? Power is the same.
Going through withdrawals and it hit me that every temptation is a test and every test I pass I feel joyful and I feel my self getting more powerful. It’s funny I’m enjoying this cycle of battle victory and joy. It’s addicting. This is life indeed
I am happy you are doing well! I hope you still are! That is the thing with having addictive tendencies. So many therapies try to get you to not be an addict. That is like trying to make you straight if you're gay. It is innate to the way your brain is and can not be changed. I have a hypothesis that true help for an addict is to embrace their addictive nature into something that is positive vs trying to supress what can't be. One can't stop the river from flowing, but directing the flow to your advantage is possible.
Mastering the mortal body is one of our greatest challenges here on earth. Don’t let the natural man control your actions. Resist you carnal appetites and conquer your lesser self. Before you were born of the flesh, you were born of the spirit.
You are right to give the spirit authority over the body, but original sin caused us to inherit a darkened soul. We are born in the flesh first; our soul is said to be spiritually dead. To be born of the spirit we have to get a Christian baptism.
This video showed up to me at the right time. I was questioning myself about my vices that start to grow up along the week, those are the resistance that i must overcome in order to be a better person. I need to keep pushing, keep going to the gym, keep reading philosophy, keep studying art. Its not easy, at the end of the week i am just exhausted, but if i keep pushing it will be overcome. And its better to be exhausted by labour at the end of the day than let my vices turn me in to a weakling.

@@smoothinvestigator To improve, a goal is required. The will to power seems to postulate that same thing. Furthermore it counsels you to not seek happiness as your goal, as happiness or joy itself results from triumph, and so will be attained in it’s purest form along the path to betterment.
Funny, I was about to write a post about Goku of Dragonball, and how this ideal is his entire mindset. "Zenkai" is a term in the series that they liken to growing stronger through defeat. I don't think they ever say the actual word in the English dub though.
Seeking knowledge is the same as seeking power? "not increase of consciousness is the goal, but enhancement of power" Nietzsche I don't fucking know, for me consciousness = power = "fulfillment"
This video really hit home with me. I have been fighting mild depression having to deal with certain people I don't want to deal with, and fretting over the political chaos and bad times I can see coming. It's been hard to face the resistance I put on myself due to my own emotions and inability to with the battle against hesitancy I seem to have...my biggest resistance to achieving my goals is myself.

Sometimes you just have to cut people off from your life. I’ve done it a few times and it’s definitely worth it. Don’t waste your time on people that hold you back. You have to be ok with being uncomfortable and taking calculated risks. Some people are so afraid of losing that they never even try. Winners think that the opportunity cost of not even trying is the real loss. If you stay in your comfort zone then you’ll never grow and progress. It’s like a cycle of getting uncomfortable then you adapt. Push yourself out of your comfort zone again and you adapt again. Just don’t do anything dumb and risky that would be a huge setback and you’d never recover from. A lot of times being successful is the culmination of doing small things over a long period of time. Once you start to see success you’ll think…ok that worked. How can I get multiple times that result? Life changing success doesn’t happen overnight. It can easily take ten or more years. If you’re young then you better get started because once you’re old you’re pretty much fucked. You’ll be out of time by then. If you always do what you’ve always done then you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.
I have watched this numerous times now it is by far the best one. It explains why I still feel a never ending need to keep learning and change myself through physical aspiration. Knowledge and Physical expression something I lost these last 10 years.

True power requires responsibility and determination to know yourself. Power corrupts without any integrity, truth and genuine love for each moment of life. Living with the understanding that brings you to a place of peace of mind and generosity. You gain power in not seeking. Power is the result of living with kindness and gratitude in loving with respect and focused attention on what you love and need ❤ No reason for suffering when you don't seek energies that are materialistic or on comparisons or competing with others. Power is a result of love in actions that are beneficial and vital for the environment and the people who are given the chance to be equally successful and nurtured. Peace is a power. War is a process of insanity and the result of fear and helplessness. Power to the people of the world in understanding that we all are truly essential and powerful in our love for each other and the healing of our lives with kindness and compassion. Enjoy your own power of being present in your life now as a person who loves. It will result in joy and peace. Blessings to you all!
It's about enduring the hardships and struggles required to become a better more powerful human being, and it includes enduring suffering, nothing to do with love.
@@tomasgarza3553 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is so very simple..be honest and humane towards each other and be kind and loving. Treat the environment as a sacred sanctuary for all life to thrive. The waters of the world are our life giving element..honoring the waters should be our universal religion and responsibility. Speaking about the world and the blessings that exist now as we are now is essential for our humanity to function. Our own individual experiences and our dreams are important to share with others. We have the ability to connect with each other and to learn how to heal and to behave with harmony and peace ✌ thanks again and please continue to use your heart, your voice and your energies to ensure that we realize that we are not alone and that we are truly understood ❤
we all have obstacles, hardships, painful times, grief, and other things that are happening in our lives that are extremely difficult to come to terms with. I know that you have the ability through strength and resilience to choose to live with gratitude and appreciation for the simple pleasures of being alive and learning from all of the situations that are happening in your life , We can choose to live with the focus on what is beneficial for the sake of our sanity and peace of mind that brings us into a relationship with truth and the way of being present and unafraid and discovering how to heal and to live accordingly with the love of life now as we are now regardless of the circumstances. Looking at everything with the awareness that there are many different positive things that are happening too.The power is in love. Simply being kind and gentle with ourselves and learning from each situation and responding in a place where we are truly gaining our own unique heart's knowledge and creativity through our lives with each breath and moment in our lives. Perseverance and flexibility are also very helpful for anyone who is going through a tough situation. Fear,worrying, anxiety and stress is not helpful for anyone. You have a splendid way of doing things that are beneficial and nurturing for your energies in honoring life with the flow of energies in love with exploration of options for your resolution of the situations. Trust in ourselves and continue to do things that are healthy and will align with the power to make the necessary changes that are required. Empowering yourself. Suffering is not helpful or required, neither is pity. Compassion and empathy are very welcome. Suffering is a great drain for the ability to connect with the possibilities and perspectives of solutions for the occurrences of your life. Love heals and love is always a powerful expression for the changes that matter. God is Love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕
Perfect presentation of Nietzche's concept of power. What was most appealing to me was that suffering is an integral part of power and an essential ingredient of power. After all, how Nietzche's concept of power is different from that of Machiavelli, the former believed in the self-overcoming concept of power, whereas the latter emphasized the ability to control and rule others. Interesting to know that Nietzche's concept of power is somehow identical to the notion of happiness in the Buddhist tradition which deals more with self-mastery and detachment from external distractions.
There are scholars who believe Machiavelli's The Prince was partly a critique of politics in the city that exiled him. A lot of the book describes different styles of government and their weaknesses. He rarely uses moral terms in the book but talks in pragmatic terms. Eg. Too much tyranny leads to revolt, etc. It isn't always straight-forward about what to do in a situation, but lays out various scenarios and their consequences based on the leader's preference.
I believe the man that can exercise self control and power over himself and himself alone, is the most powerful one. "SEEK YE FIRST", and all else shall be added unto you. 🙏🏽
Stolen and misrepresented on purpose, yeah? Stolen from Matthew 6:33. That passage reads: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added into you". Clever and poetic, aren't you? Seems so. But you're not a very smart or a very well-meaning human being when you consciously mislead others by you slashing up and deliberately expunging a significant portion of a Bible verse like that just to suit your own dogma.
@avigailomichael3177 Mam, excuse me???? The entire Bible is made up of plagiarism from different cultures mythologies and teachings, what are you on about? Misleading who about what?

You were clearly triggered by my tone and what I wrote. Please seek psychological help from a professional, you can't go around attacking strangers like this.
I've personally been following something a bit similar to what has been mentioned here . My experiences have shown me that when I'm in a difficult situation mentally, I find doing my work very therapeutic. Regardless of what the actual work is, as long as it's helping me improve myself and become better than I was before, working harder really does seem to put me in a better place mentally. I call this "work therapy ".
This explains why so many people are enthusiastically claiming to be oppressed while simultaneously living in the least oppressive era of human history.
Still here 5 years later, having adopted "I am that which must overcome itself" as a life mantra from your "Suffering and Self-overcoming" video. Although I have made progress since then, there is still much to be overcome.
I’ve tried reading Nietzsche before, because I love his ideas. But I tend to get annoyed and distracted by the fluffy language I find him and other philosophers use on a regular basis. I really love your channel and how you distill brilliant ideas into a form that’s easy to grasp and implement into actual life. Keep up the great work!
Fluffy language might just be a misunderstanding of what is being articulated. One can only understand as deep as they have looked in themselves. I find myself sometimes doing something similar because it can be difficult too accept unconscious incompetence due to the adaptation of perceiving the inability to understand someone reasonates from the self over estimating the ability to comprehend suffice to say. when you don’t read tough books you can’t keep up with the mandatory pocket of understanding aleast 80% of what is being said which frustration sets in and resentment which turns into ditching the narrative and looking for a excuse to pass off the responsibility for the reason why you don’t understand when he starts using big words to be descriptive. This guy who makes these videos is smart enough to basically dumb it down and explain it in four letter words but in doing so your trapping yourself in the option of choosing pride rather then true humility which is what fosters curiosity. Try googling the words you don’t understand, i always do that and it really makes a difference. Am I making any sense right now? If not I’m sorry I tried to be as straightforward as possible from just seeing what I saw in your comment in regards to identifying the reasons for your struggles. I hope this makes sense and that I helped give a different perspective to the particular situation you’re in in regards to understanding the message being said. He’s not writting these for the herd to read as they will not understand it because their lacking the fundamentals somena knowledge to keep up with the books of his due to them being such high frequency of thought.
This is exactly why the Hemingway style was popular at the turn of the 20th century. It removed the fluffly language and redundant wording and got straight to the point!
@@afternoondelight1240 I have feeling that you have a lot of pride in your comment. I stopped reading because I was annoyed and it sounded old for me, that is it. I don't feek inferior because I can't read Shakespeare because that is not my trade or my thing and I don't give a damn.
It is not only the ratio of pleasure to pain that determines the quality of a life, but also the sheer quantity of pain. Once a certain threshold of pain is passed, no amount of pleasure can compensate for it. - David Benatar There's a spectrum here. Too much suffering does not produce an optimized humanity. The level of suffering is not invariable. We are living in an age of permanent illness and meaningless separation, having little agency to shape our environment so as to shape who we are and optimize the human condition.
This video seeks to redefine “power” as something more akin to “personal development”, which although not the typical definition, is an accurate enough reading of Nietzsche. Meaning, purpose, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, truth, etc. are all worthy pursuits that will lead to personal development, which typically results in fulfillment and joy, as well as pleasure and power. Thus your point is for the most part quite in harmony with the message of this video. The advantage of your approach is primarily in anticipation of the typical, shallow definition of power by most listeners.
This ties beautifully with Jordan Peterson's teachings of becoming a civilized monster: "You should be a monster, an absolute monster, and then you should learn how to control it"
Guide on how to attain power and the 4 conditions: 1. The goal must be meaningful and challenging. 2. It must promote our health and well-being or the well-being of others. 3. It must be conducive to the attainment of personal excellence. 4. It must be self-chosen.
Neither am I; what happens when you perceive your own true weakness against nature and the world? A Nietzschean man becomes depressed at his own helplessness to overcome even trivial vices and frailty, not to mention developing a disdain for the poor or weak. There seems no place for humility or basic gratitude for the world as it’s given to us.
A very important video. The word power has been distorted through my years of education to mean something and connote to something as only being bad. What a refresher to receive this content in such trying and disingenuous times!
One of the first things I learned when I joined the army was “adapt, improvise, overcome” later on in life I learned about the “stress recovery adaptation cycle” and now it all makes sense

In the quest to live a good life, each of us, consciously or implicitly, chooses an ultimate value around which to orient our life. For many this value is wealth, for others it may be status, social-acceptance, happiness, pleasure, love, knowledge, or Comfort. Power - "the enhancement of a capacity or an activity already given." (Nietzsche's Values) As a few examples, an athlete who becomes stronger is increasing his power, as is the writer who improves her writing, the orator who sharpens his public speaking abilities, or the teacher who enhances her capacity to educate. "Power is "more life" not by its mere continuation, nor by its multiplication, but by life's being raised to a higher level of capacity and control;,..Power is transition to a higher level...a "self-overcoming". the point to my life is my growth or strengthening and [this] lies not merely in expanding but in ascending, which involves Overcoming previous states of myself." John Richardson, Nietzsche's Values to attain this power and the first step is to formulate a goal that fulfills 4 conditions. Firstly, the goal must be meaningful and challenging. Secondly, it must promote our health and well-being, or the well-being of others. Thirdly, it must be conducive to the attainment of personal excellence; and finally, must be self-chosen, or in other words, an expression of our individuality and authentic aspirations. "For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals." Nietzsche, Unpublished Note We would have obstacles and resistances. "The will to power can only express itself against resistances; it seeks what resists it.. all expansion, incorporation, growth, is striving against something that resists. strong nature needs resistance; hence it seeks resistance. Nietzsche, The Will to Power the game of resistance and victory which consists of a "hindrance that is Overcome and immediately followed by another hindrance, that is again overcome", we will increase our power and eventually attain the goal we have and whatever it is we have become, created, or achieved, behind us, and set our sights on the next, greater, goal. "Whatever I create and however much love It, soon I must oppose it and my love; thus my will wills it."
Men commonly deceive themselves in respect of the love which they imagine others bear them, nor can ever be sure of it until they have put it to the proof. The same is true for the reverse, we often suffer more in imagination than reality.
There's no solution for suffering. Life is suffering. Death is the escape from it. And power doesn't bring happiness, it brings corruption that disguises itself as happiness and invokes the worst within human nature. We are seeing it all unfold with the influential tyrants ruining the world right now.
Wow! This is what I have been trying to figure out. What is the meaning of life. I figured out that is was truly subjective and self determined. Then the objective was choose a purpose which is entirely determined by core values. Thank you for creating great content like this.
Wrong! Happiness is everything. Happiness is the soul being liberated and freed to express itself and be as creative as one can be. What this philosopher is teaching you is to feed your dark side and to grow from it but in return you'd have a terrible miserable unhealthy life. There is the dark side and then there is the light side, depending on which you feed, will grow and it'll help you achieve what you want, but one will leave you miserable while the other will give you happiness. The choice is yours.
I prefer happiness over suffering, but that's just me. 🙂 I do agree that we can find meaning in our suffering, however. I believe Viktor Frankl taught this, as well.
Thanks so much for the content. I've been nurturing short term comfort in favour of long term discomfort for too long now and this has helped snap me out of that trance and be brave enough to get back started. 💪
Power equals work done over time. Power = (work done) / time "Love work and knowledge are the wellsprings of our life. They should also govern it." Wilhelm Reich
He saw a pattern in all animals - to dominate, establish superiority, control the behavior of other animals. What he was seeing are the behaviors caused by a quest for the neural transmitter - serotonin. Low serotonin - depression . high serotonin - well being, high self esteem, feelings of competence. I have learned not to take serotonin from people - but instead garner it from things: controlling the guitar as I compose and record. Will to power over things, not people.
Ever since I was a young teengager, I've always priortized power and strength over happiness. I recently started reading Nietzche, (partly due to your videos) and it resonates with me so much.
Give & take. Know how to give & how to receive. Most don't feel worthy to receive & fail, because they only know how to give. Be thankful always brings us more general ongoing increase. I am thankful you read this, bless you.
this excellent video is making crystal clear how the XIX century philosophers (in my humble opinion purposely) trained our minds in a way where suffering is "good and we must suffer to obtain/achieve more power"....why, instead of suffering we don't concentrate in developing our inner potential without feeding/benefit anybody else with our suffering?
Self development can not be done without growth in certain aspects, which in itself requires more power. You obtain power through hardship, pain, and discpline. Sitting around talking about emotions isn't gonna do anything
If you are not suffering, your brain will invent imaginary suffering to keep you moving. We call it boredom. You can either suffer while growing, or suffer in luxury. We each have our preferences, but I have found suffering in luxury to be MUCH worse.
Just amazingly simple and clear. It appears we have swapped out "suffering" used in the 19th century for "challenges" in the modern day. Don't be afraid to suffer...The key is to know what you are suffering for.
Agreed. Pursuit of power, in and of itself, is easily corrupted into domination and greed. Pursuit of virtues such as meaning, truth, & wisdom are more sure routes to personal development, and when shared, empower not only the self, but others as well.
Nietzsche went crazy towards the end of his life we must realize that, and know that life isn’t about power. Or any other neurotic anxious ideas. but about knowing our creator and why he put us here. That will bring us true happiness. As St Augustine says my heart is heartless until it rests in the. We must do what makes us happy which is being in connection with God and living morally upright.
Awareness of my shadow and insecurities....owning the trigger thus dissolving its energy. That and knowledge put into action. Is my empowerment. Consistancy.
This is such a fucking amazing exposition of how to take a noble course through life. No negations of being, full blown self empowerment through a cycle of seeking.
It depends on the definitions of "power". In Spanish Academy.... it is "Having expedited the faculty or power to do something. 2. tr. Having ease, time or place to do something." Anyway, my question was about rationality in animals.... This subject was in part discussed by Eugene the Philostopher on his video "Relativity of Rationality"... Is power rational or irrational? Is it emotional then? Wouldn't humans become animals if they just look for power? And what about personal realization and Jung's Individuation process? Does it require power or SELF-POWER?
These are the words of a man which have yet to experience true love for a person. As when I was alone, me two was in seek of power, and goals gave me pleasure and happiness or so I thought… but compare these to love and it was like a few drops in an infinite ocean… feeling sorry for nietzche…
Yearning was when I was in search for someone but after finding that person, everything that was before, gaining power, having big goals were just a big hoax playing in my head like a stupid teenager. Life is much easier and simpler and is clear when you’re “on the other side”. Just don’t become a psycho and be fooled by this growth mindset s***t, unless you really born into it and really have a calling like from really young. Life needs so much less to be happy, especially now with all this technology. If we would stop bull**** ourselves, get the b***s and ask a loved one out and settle down, like a normal human being, this power and goals b***t will go away in an instant. Finding and accepting who you are is a hard but a liberating feeling, sooner or later nature will take your corse of action for you either you accept it or not.
I dunno, to me gaining power was like an elaborate procrastination and cowardly defense mechanism stopping me from living my life in the present. So go and ask out that person you like, go out and make new friends and discard toxic ones and start living NOW and make “power seeking” secondary and just a fun thing to enjoy that comes naturally and as a byproduct by doing what you like, rather than a means to an end that SOME DAY I will be powerful enough that people could not hurt me or be respected enough so people will love me. That’s just a perfectionist way of thinking, outside of reality. At least that what I feel to be e true and felt it since the beginning but was to afraid to act rather than “prepare to act” when “the time is right”, when “I was powerful enough”. So go fall in love, make a home and be joyful, power is for the obsessive cowardly immature people anyway and in extreme cases for psychos that want world domination and control. Sure if you have a calling like from very young and receive the guidance that goes along with it to become something inspiring, then go for it. But don’t dilute yourself into believing that power will somehow bring you happiness to you cuz it won’t. People will stay near you out of a twisted Stockholm Syndrome fear psychologic effect or because they want power for themself by aligning next to you. All of this is just a tyrannical way of controlling people, is not love, is just forced twisted control and manipulation of their own minds and desires projected through you to them. True love is out of love itself, like speaking the truth out of love for the truth or doing the right thing out of the love of doing the right thing, not because of a specific reason, or goal or protection mechanism or perfectionism or basically an egocentric obsession of god-like desires. It’s both unrealistic and in the end just disappointing.
The reason why meditators seek to do what is needed rather than what they want to do, is because happiness is easily obtained through inward work. Once you have happiness, in order to spread more good in the world you need power, aka the ability to take righteous action which has large rippling effects.
I learned the power of suffering while sea kayaking. The non stop paddling, and open ocean of long distances between destinations, showed me the higher plain of existence
This is very important thing you shared with us, I've been observing this myself before even watching this, Big Thanks for sharing this. Knowledge is a light that makes the way clearer and help us lead better life.
Do not seek power, happiness, love, etc. because you cannot have it all. If I give you all the power of the universe you will be unfulfilled anyway. The same thing to happiness, love, knowledge etc. It's just an illusion. The moment you don't seek anything, you will be at the peak of cosmic evolution.
Life fulfillment gained from overcoming internal obstacles not from material things. Such as a video game constantly leveling up, learning, gaining skills - not from external sources. Got it, makes sense!
This is helpful to me today, and affirms the lessons I’ve already been learning on a long road of differentiation after having been codependent for many years.
How to be Successful: 1. Choose a meaningful and challenging goal 2. The goal should promote your health and well-being 3. The goal must be conducive to the attainment of personal excellence 4. The goal should be your choosing
💯 Agree particularly 1:16 This is the best one I ever listened to and naturally resonate! When experience precede the words, words is sound of music. We align with who we are and not with what we want at every stage of life. To understand this is to understand true inner POWER and STRENGTH.

One of my favourite quotes from Nietzsche (from the 3rd essay in genealogy iirc) goes something like this: man would rather will nothingness than will nothing at all. That is, in nihilism and depression, we will ourselves into a catatonic state of hibernation, the lowest possible state of physical energy to sustain a painful and self-pitying wakefulness -- so strong is the power of our will that we are driven to kill ourselves rather than endure willing nothing at all. I am reminded of this insight everytime I impulsively entertain depressive or suicidal thoughts. Certainly, a creature whose will is strong enough to drive its body and spirit to death is a powerful one. And I say to myself, "if I am powerful enough to kill myself, I must also be powerful enough to live."
beautiful!
That was deep man.
In service to those who we find worthy, we gain the clarity to realise the meaning of life over time.

Very well said and truly insightful. Thank you.
I always say this and people think I’m crazy. It’s power you want, internal power, power to be able to get through anything. THAT leads to happiness. Not power to manipulate others but to manipulate your own ego
I believe I'm more supieror than you. (I don't) The power of EGO!
It's power over self. To control yourself, to wield mind and body like an instrument of your will, use it for your goals, move on when the goal is accomplished or no longer gives you lasting satisfaction. Dream of overcoming that which boasts to hinder you, watch your power gain. Overcome yourself and see that your power increases.
The Nietz's main theme is that most men live in fear and seek to comply. You see this most clearly in modern man's weakness in intersexual relations, how man responds to the pummeling he gets in divorce court, etc... the nietz would despise today's nice guy. The Kierk said most men wear a mask.
This power seeking sounds like typical dopamine addiction, no wonder Nietzsche drove himself mad.
@@junxu4438 lol Nietzsche could have lost his mind for several reasons we don’t know. Your mind is actually always seeking dopamine so to attempt overcome your mind is the opposite. Which takes discipline.
"Written laws are like spiders’ webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them." ~ Anacharsis
Reflection is truly key. Humanity should dare to look deep within, but it should also accept that more than mere physical Reflection is required for true, celestial enlightenment.
"Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

"The measure of man is what he does with power"

“The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified.” - Nietzsche
When these two insights are taken together, what great soul is able to take in the world for what it is, and then do something worthy with it? Has not every human thus far come up short? I, for myself, still have hope that such an individual is possible. To take in the horrors of reality and redeem them through acts that bring real value to all future generations.
"All that is bad comes from weakness"-- very true
Neediness=desperation
Desperation often pushes us past our moral inhibitions.
I agree
power comes only from identification of weakness, therefor power is bad?
All good people come from weak babies. Women are physically weaker than most men, men come from women. Sex (not rape) can't happen unless two people stop fighting and competing for resources become vulnerable to each other (weak) and create pleasure and often life. Seeds are weaker than trees. Self sacrifice comes from apearing weak yet it creates powerful societies. Ghandi used weakness, defeated a huge empire. Water is soft and weak, yet over time wears down mountains. Dude was wrong, wrong wrong. And in his life all his philosophy gave hiom no power drove him mad, got him syphillis.
@@deejin25 If you are weaker (less capable) than your peers you will feel a sense of inferiority.
That feeling of vulnerability rather than self assurance can lead to depression,anxiety,and envy.
This is not a place where a healthy mind exists and you will desperately try to push to get out of that state.
That's why a wounded animal is more dangerous than one that is fully capable, because it knows it is a vulnerable target.
@@deejin25 you're barking at the wrong tree. Physical weakness is not the point here whatsoever. But inner weakness Is. And it's a fact that all evil comes from inner weakness, whereas all good comes from inner strength

1:48 Power is enhancement of capacity.
How to attain power:
3:03 Step 1: Set a goal that is meaningful & challenging, promotes health and well-being, is conducive to attaining personal excellence, and is self-chosen.
3:49 Step 2: Dedicate consistent time each days to accomplishing that goal
5:33 Step 3: Once achieved, put your goal behind you and set another goal.
This hamster wheel is predicated on everyone's ability to identify meaningful & worthwhile goals, which as the state of the world demonstrates, is not a universal trait. It's nice for a horse to have a carrot to chase, but even the fanciest carrot is still just a carrot.

'The formula for my happiness: a yes, a no; a straight line- a goal.' Nietzsche That is to say, pace Schopenhauer, our striving for self-improvement, quite apart from its actual outcome, promotes well-being. Just do it. RFGA, Ph.D.
Name 1 individual that followed this principle and became SUFFERING-FREE. 😂
Its absurd is what it is, that we are getting this kind of life-affirming content for free. We really do appreciate it, kind sir.
Please don’t jinx us ✋🏾
Well, free on the outside perhaps. However, isn't it your life affirming will that lead you to the search for it?
Absurd? Definitely. Nietzsche is garbage.
I agree it is absurd
Basically, I think Nietzsche encouraged us to get in touch with our inner power and work it out. Once we acknowledge our own power as something unique, then we work on our goals we're willing to achieve by using our same power. Our talents, skills, inclinations, or whatsoever must be worth discovering, and then putting into practice at the goals we set for ourselves, otherwise, we shall never realize what it's our purpose in life whereas we end up following the herd. Nietzsche called it "The moral of Servants"
He was a broke loser
@@gordonjay2461 The wise is never appreciated during his lifetime, but afterwards.
Well said
I think the world learnt enough lessons from Nietzsche's idea. After he declared "God is dead", 20th century became the bloodiest century. Millions of people were enslaved and killed under the few "powerful" men. What kind of the society will it be if people are encouraged to be those powerful men? Nowadays the world elites are going to be those "powerful" men. They say we will have nothing (that means they will have everything) but will be happy. We will soon be enslaved by another powerful man. What shall we do? Go back to God! Love God and also love your neighbours. Do to others as you would have them do to you. That is the saving way. That is God's way. We are too far away from God for too long. God is never dead, Nietzsche is dead.
@@lighthouse3957 Nietzsche never meant the Will to Power was to exercise control over others. On the contrary, he called that "The Moral of the Weak". For Nietzsche the Will to Power was such a Reaffirmation to Life we all might do if we consider ourselves as Free Spirits. This Reaffirmation to Life consists of remaining optimistic towards every situation Life itself sets in our path. Whether a blessing or a disgrace it's a constant Say Yes to any of them, for if our Will to Power is strong, then we shall be able to overcome such a disgrace by activating our capacity to find creative solutions, or if we are blessed by the choices we have made, then we shall find the way to share them with the rest of the world, and make it a better place to live. For Nietzsche the Will to Power was a Free Spirit's characteristic which was able to overcome vicissitudes by turning into its own favor, and making them work for itself and for others, for that was how a Free Spirit honored Life.
Nietzsche said "God is dead" because he tried to realize Modern Men did not have any need for religion. Rather, They believed in their own intellects as well as something concrete they themselves created. These Modern Men can be found in Politics, Business, Science, and generally speaking, in every manifest of human knowledge. Even in churches some preachers take God's Grace for granted, and make choices for themselves. They turn their Religion into Doctrinarism, and make their followers believe there is no other way to get Salvation from God, except they do whatever these same Preachers say to them.
According to Nietzsche's Philosophy this kind of man who believes in his own Ego is called "The Last Man".
"The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

4 elements of a goal
1. Meaningful and challenging
2. Promotes health
3. Personal excellence
4. Self chosen - expression of individuality.
I have never read Nietzsche before but I think he is right. In the case of suffering. I have had the misfortune to always be suffering. Ever since I was little.. later in my teens I developed severe auto immune disease that crippled me.. and also battled with bipolar depression. Until recently 4 years ago I went through a really rough patch mentally.. I really thought I was gonna have to just loose this fight. But one things that I found give me a more calm state and stable is being empowered. By knowledge and strength. being empowered I have notice give me more happiness. Especially with mental problems where I feel I have no control over my emotions. So what I now seek in this life is knowledge and strength. I always looking for ways to make my self more resilient against the battles of life. I always look to nature.. how animals and trees and all other especies have survive this nasty world. You have to be strong. And that is what I seek now. Strength power, Knowledge. Diet is key to strength.
It is helpful to be resolute and very very resilient,30 yrs of suffering on nearly every level,has taught me that you can survive the misery of it all,you must be strong!!!
True!
@@nicp1978 survival is a very base goal though. Will to power goes beyond survival and is about creating excellence in all areas than simply “Surviving through life”

Neatcha's philosophy isn't for everyone. My goal is to learn many things, but I am aware and accepting of the time when I will no longer be able to learn new things.
But knowledge in itself exists without anyone to witness it, why does it matter that I tap into it only a little bit for a small amount of time?
Power is the same.
To resist suffering for power that will ultimately extinguish seems unnecessary.
The source of all your problems - and solutions.
Going through withdrawals and it hit me that every temptation is a test and every test I pass I feel joyful and I feel my self getting more powerful. It’s funny I’m enjoying this cycle of battle victory and joy. It’s addicting. This is life indeed
I am happy you are doing well! I hope you still are!
That is the thing with having addictive tendencies. So many therapies try to get you to not be an addict. That is like trying to make you straight if you're gay. It is innate to the way your brain is and can not be changed.
I have a hypothesis that true help for an addict is to embrace their addictive nature into something that is positive vs trying to supress what can't be.
One can't stop the river from flowing, but directing the flow to your advantage is possible.
Mastering the mortal body is one of our greatest challenges here on earth. Don’t let the natural man control your actions. Resist you carnal appetites and conquer your lesser self. Before you were born of the flesh, you were born of the spirit.
Interesting....what does it mean to be born of the spirit?
Why should I conquer these natural things? Is it not human to experience them just as well?
You are right to give the spirit authority over the body, but original sin caused us to inherit a darkened soul. We are born in the flesh first; our soul is said to be spiritually dead. To be born of the spirit we have to get a Christian baptism.

Been studying Nietzsche a lot recently, and this has definitely been one of the most concise and valuable comments on his work I’ve seen
This is one of many universal ideals pursued by human nature. Will to power is called " kai zen " in Japan. Keep up the good work!
Kaizen means constant incremental improvement.
@@smoothinvestigator To improve, a goal is required.
The will to power seems to postulate that same thing.
Furthermore it counsels you to not seek happiness as your goal, as happiness or joy itself results from triumph, and so will be attained in it’s purest form along the path to betterment.
Funny, I was about to write a post about Goku of Dragonball, and how this ideal is his entire mindset. "Zenkai" is a term in the series that they liken to growing stronger through defeat. I don't think they ever say the actual word in the English dub though.

Sometimes you just have to cut people off from your life. I’ve done it a few times and it’s definitely worth it. Don’t waste your time on people that hold you back. You have to be ok with being uncomfortable and taking calculated risks. Some people are so afraid of losing that they never even try. Winners think that the opportunity cost of not even trying is the real loss. If you stay in your comfort zone then you’ll never grow and progress. It’s like a cycle of getting uncomfortable then you adapt. Push yourself out of your comfort zone again and you adapt again. Just don’t do anything dumb and risky that would be a huge setback and you’d never recover from. A lot of times being successful is the culmination of doing small things over a long period of time. Once you start to see success you’ll think…ok that worked. How can I get multiple times that result? Life changing success doesn’t happen overnight. It can easily take ten or more years. If you’re young then you better get started because once you’re old you’re pretty much fucked. You’ll be out of time by then. If you always do what you’ve always done then you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.
Its never ' mild'.. either you are, or you aint
I have watched this numerous times now it is by far the best one. It explains why I still feel a never ending need to keep learning and change myself through physical aspiration. Knowledge and Physical expression something I lost these last 10 years.

True power requires responsibility and determination to know yourself. Power corrupts without any integrity, truth and genuine love for each moment of life. Living with the understanding that brings you to a place of peace of mind and generosity. You gain power in not seeking. Power is the result of living with kindness and gratitude in loving with respect and focused attention on what you love and need ❤ No reason for suffering when you don't seek energies that are materialistic or on comparisons or competing with others. Power is a result of love in actions that are beneficial and vital for the environment and the people who are given the chance to be equally successful and nurtured. Peace is a power. War is a process of insanity and the result of fear and helplessness. Power to the people of the world in understanding that we all are truly essential and powerful in our love for each other and the healing of our lives with kindness and compassion. Enjoy your own power of being present in your life now as a person who loves. It will result in joy and peace. Blessings to you all!

we all have obstacles, hardships, painful times, grief, and other things that are happening in our lives that are extremely difficult to come to terms with. I know that you have the ability through strength and resilience to choose to live with gratitude and appreciation for the simple pleasures of being alive and learning from all of the situations that are happening in your life ,
We can choose to live with the focus on what is beneficial for the sake of our sanity and peace of mind that brings us into a relationship with truth and the way of being present and unafraid and discovering how to heal and to live accordingly with the love of life now as we are now regardless of the circumstances. Looking at everything with the awareness that there are many different positive things that are happening too.The power is in love. Simply being kind and gentle with ourselves and learning from each situation and responding in a place where we are truly gaining our own unique heart's knowledge and creativity through our lives with each breath and moment in our lives.
Perseverance and flexibility are also very helpful for anyone who is going through a tough situation. Fear,worrying, anxiety and stress is not helpful for anyone. You have a splendid way of doing things that are beneficial and nurturing for your energies in honoring life with the flow of energies in love with exploration of options for your resolution of the situations.
Trust in ourselves and continue to do things that are healthy and will align with the power to make the necessary changes that are required. Empowering yourself. Suffering is not helpful or required, neither is pity.
Compassion and empathy are very welcome. Suffering is a great drain for the ability to connect with the possibilities and perspectives of solutions for the occurrences of your life. Love heals and love is always a powerful expression for the changes that matter. God is Love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕
Perfect presentation of Nietzche's concept of power. What was most appealing to me was that suffering is an integral part of power and an essential ingredient of power. After all, how Nietzche's concept of power is different from that of Machiavelli, the former believed in the self-overcoming concept of power, whereas the latter emphasized the ability to control and rule others. Interesting to know that Nietzche's concept of power is somehow identical to the notion of happiness in the Buddhist tradition which deals more with self-mastery and detachment from external distractions.
The different concepts of power are displayed and lived out by the narcissist and the empath.
There are scholars who believe Machiavelli's The Prince was partly a critique of politics in the city that exiled him. A lot of the book describes different styles of government and their weaknesses. He rarely uses moral terms in the book but talks in pragmatic terms. Eg. Too much tyranny leads to revolt, etc. It isn't always straight-forward about what to do in a situation, but lays out various scenarios and their consequences based on the leader's preference.
I believe the man that can exercise self control and power over himself and himself alone, is the most powerful one. "SEEK YE FIRST", and all else shall be added unto you. 🙏🏽
Stolen and misrepresented on purpose, yeah? Stolen from Matthew 6:33. That passage reads: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added into you". Clever and poetic, aren't you? Seems so. But you're not a very smart or a very well-meaning human being when you consciously mislead others by you slashing up and deliberately expunging a significant portion of a Bible verse like that just to suit your own dogma.
@avigailomichael3177 Mam, excuse me???? The entire Bible is made up of plagiarism from different cultures mythologies and teachings, what are you on about? Misleading who about what? I added my own opinion. I wasn't preaching to nobody, but I just added my thoughts, and you out here acting like I'm recruiting people into a cult or something. You were clearly triggered by my tone and what I wrote. Please seek psychological help from a professional, you can't go around attacking strangers like this.
I've personally been following something a bit similar to what has been mentioned here . My experiences have shown me that when I'm in a difficult situation mentally, I find doing my work very therapeutic. Regardless of what the actual work is, as long as it's helping me improve myself and become better than I was before, working harder really does seem to put me in a better place mentally. I call this "work therapy ".
Fascinating reading of Nietzsche. A more nuanced insight on the will to power than the one I held. Thank you.
This explains why so many people are enthusiastically claiming to be oppressed while simultaneously living in the least oppressive era of human history.
Still here 5 years later, having adopted "I am that which must overcome itself" as a life mantra from your "Suffering and Self-overcoming" video.
Although I have made progress since then, there is still much to be overcome.

I’ve tried reading Nietzsche before, because I love his ideas. But I tend to get annoyed and distracted by the fluffy language I find him and other philosophers use on a regular basis. I really love your channel and how you distill brilliant ideas into a form that’s easy to grasp and implement into actual life. Keep up the great work!
Oh my god somebody finally said it, its like listening to a drama club guy talk like a Shakespeare play
Fluffy language might just be a misunderstanding of what is being articulated. One can only understand as deep as they have looked in themselves. I find myself sometimes doing something similar because it can be difficult too accept unconscious incompetence due to the adaptation of perceiving the inability to understand someone reasonates from the self over estimating the ability to comprehend suffice to say. when you don’t read tough books you can’t keep up with the mandatory pocket of understanding aleast 80% of what is being said which frustration sets in and resentment which turns into ditching the narrative and looking for a excuse to pass off the responsibility for the reason why you don’t understand when he starts using big words to be descriptive. This guy who makes these videos is smart enough to basically dumb it down and explain it in four letter words but in doing so your trapping yourself in the option of choosing pride rather then true humility which is what fosters curiosity. Try googling the words you don’t understand, i always do that and it really makes a difference. Am I making any sense right now? If not I’m sorry I tried to be as straightforward as possible from just seeing what I saw in your comment in regards to identifying the reasons for your struggles. I hope this makes sense and that I helped give a different perspective to the particular situation you’re in in regards to understanding the message being said.
He’s not writting these for the herd to read as they will not understand it because their lacking the fundamentals somena knowledge to keep up with the books of his due to them being such high frequency of thought.
This is exactly why the Hemingway style was popular at the turn of the 20th century. It removed the fluffly language and redundant wording and got straight to the point!
@@afternoondelight1240 I have feeling that you have a lot of pride in your comment. I stopped reading because I was annoyed and it sounded old for me, that is it. I don't feek inferior because I can't read Shakespeare because that is not my trade or my thing and I don't give a damn.

It is not only the ratio of pleasure to pain that determines the quality of a life, but also the sheer quantity of pain. Once a certain threshold of pain is passed, no amount of pleasure can compensate for it.

There's a spectrum here. Too much suffering does not produce an optimized humanity. The level of suffering is not invariable. We are living in an age of permanent illness and meaningless separation, having little agency to shape our environment so as to shape who we are and optimize the human condition.
Seek neither pleasure nor power, but meaning and fulfillment. Only the latter is the key to true happiness.
This comment has more merit than this entire TH-cam channel
This video seeks to redefine “power” as something more akin to “personal development”, which although not the typical definition, is an accurate enough reading of Nietzsche. Meaning, purpose, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, truth, etc. are all worthy pursuits that will lead to personal development, which typically results in fulfillment and joy, as well as pleasure and power. Thus your point is for the most part quite in harmony with the message of this video. The advantage of your approach is primarily in anticipation of the typical, shallow definition of power by most listeners.
Seek knowledge and if you can make sure you are surrounded by those you seek it too, it will give you all those things...

This ties beautifully with Jordan Peterson's teachings of becoming a civilized monster: "You should be a monster, an absolute monster, and then you should learn how to control it"
That was the Old Peterson.
We are radical individuals now.
Guide on how to attain power and the 4 conditions:
1. The goal must be meaningful and challenging.
2. It must promote our health and well-being or the well-being of others.
3. It must be conducive to the attainment of personal excellence.
4. It must be self-chosen.
I am not convinced by Friedrich’s argument, but great video series; its really provoked some deep thinking in my head!
Neither am I; what happens when you perceive your own true weakness against nature and the world? A Nietzschean man becomes depressed at his own helplessness to overcome even trivial vices and frailty, not to mention developing a disdain for the poor or weak. There seems no place for humility or basic gratitude for the world as it’s given to us.
@@anthonytelles2226 You have to learn patience, perseverance and understand that _where there's a will there's a way._

A very important video. The word power has been distorted through my years of education to mean something and connote to something as only being bad. What a refresher to receive this content in such trying and disingenuous times!
One must endure! This is the motivation of the mind when one accomplishes power!
Academy of ideas is summarising complex philosophical ideas into simple narrative forms so a lay man can get better understanding of life.
Once again, the Academy of Ideas and Nietzsche together have given me a direction when I was lost. Thank you!
One of the first things I learned when I joined the army was “adapt, improvise, overcome” later on in life I learned about the “stress recovery adaptation cycle” and now it all makes sense
Brilliant video as always, love your work!

In the quest to live a good life, each of us, consciously or implicitly, chooses an ultimate value around which to orient our life. For many this value is wealth, for others it may be status, social-acceptance, happiness, pleasure, love, knowledge, or Comfort.
Power - "the enhancement of a capacity or an activity already given." (Nietzsche's Values)
As a few examples, an athlete who becomes stronger is increasing his power, as is the writer who improves her writing, the orator who sharpens his public speaking abilities, or the teacher who enhances her capacity to educate.
"Power is "more life" not by its mere continuation, nor by its multiplication, but by life's being raised to a higher level of capacity and control;,..Power is transition to a higher level...a
"self-overcoming". the point to my life is my growth or strengthening and [this] lies not merely
in expanding but in ascending, which involves Overcoming previous states of myself." John Richardson, Nietzsche's Values
to attain this power and the first step is to formulate a goal that fulfills 4 conditions. Firstly, the goal must be meaningful and challenging. Secondly, it must promote our health
and well-being, or the well-being of others. Thirdly, it must be conducive to the attainment of personal excellence; and finally, must be self-chosen, or in other words, an expression of our individuality and authentic aspirations.
"For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals."
Nietzsche, Unpublished Note
We would have obstacles and resistances.
"The will to power can only express itself against resistances; it seeks what resists it.. all expansion, incorporation, growth, is striving against something that resists. strong nature needs resistance; hence it seeks resistance. Nietzsche, The Will to Power
the game of resistance and victory which consists of a "hindrance that is Overcome
and immediately followed by another hindrance, that is again overcome", we will increase our power and eventually attain the goal we have and whatever it is we have become, created, or achieved, behind us, and set our sights on the next, greater, goal. "Whatever I create and however much love It, soon I must oppose it and my love; thus my will wills it."
“Perfektion and power are overrated, i Think you are Wise to choose happiness, and love!” -uncle iroh. I fully agree With this sentence!
“Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.”
― Uncle Iroh, Avatar The Last Airbender
"PEACE is all you should aim for !" (Ramana)
Men commonly deceive themselves in respect of the love which they imagine others bear them, nor can ever be sure of it until they have put it to the proof. The same is true for the reverse, we often suffer more in imagination than reality.
There's no solution for suffering. Life is suffering. Death is the escape from it. And power doesn't bring happiness, it brings corruption that disguises itself as happiness and invokes the worst within human nature. We are seeing it all unfold with the influential tyrants ruining the world right now.
True
The only solution is antinatalism
Power only corrupts people with corrupted souls.
Wow! This is what I have been trying to figure out. What is the meaning of life. I figured out that is was truly subjective and self determined. Then the objective was choose a purpose which is entirely determined by core values. Thank you for creating great content like this.
The meaning of life = to give life meaning
Yes! It's so important to have dreams and chase them, to strive and resist obstacles! Happiness is terribly overrated.
Wrong! Happiness is everything. Happiness is the soul being liberated and freed to express itself and be as creative as one can be. What this philosopher is teaching you is to feed your dark side and to grow from it but in return you'd have a terrible miserable unhealthy life. There is the dark side and then there is the light side, depending on which you feed, will grow and it'll help you achieve what you want, but one will leave you miserable while the other will give you happiness. The choice is yours.
I prefer happiness over suffering, but that's just me. 🙂 I do agree that we can find meaning in our suffering, however. I believe Viktor Frankl taught this, as well.

Power equals work done over time.
Power = (work done) / time
"Love work and knowledge are the wellsprings of our life. They should also govern it." Wilhelm Reich
He saw a pattern in all animals - to dominate, establish superiority, control the behavior of other animals. What he was seeing are the behaviors caused by a quest for the neural transmitter - serotonin. Low serotonin - depression . high serotonin - well being, high self esteem, feelings of competence. I have learned not to take serotonin from people - but instead garner it from things: controlling the guitar as I compose and record. Will to power over things, not people.
Ever since I was a young teengager, I've always priortized power and strength over happiness. I recently started reading Nietzche, (partly due to your videos) and it resonates with me so much.
1)Meaningless and challenging
2)Health and well being
3)Conducive to attaining personal excellence
4)Must be chosen personally
Give & take. Know how to give & how to receive. Most don't feel worthy to receive & fail, because they only know how to give. Be thankful always brings us more general ongoing increase. I am thankful you read this, bless you.
In J.Cole’s words “There’s beauty in the struggle”
The more I read Nietzsche, the more I realize just how brilliant he was. It's hard to imagine philosophy without him
🗨🤓
I found him too naive after reading emil cioran.
this excellent video is making crystal clear how the XIX century philosophers (in my humble opinion purposely) trained our minds in a way where suffering is "good and we must suffer to obtain/achieve more power"....why, instead of suffering we don't concentrate in developing our inner potential without feeding/benefit anybody else with our suffering?
By _anybody else_ you mean enemies/demons?
Self development can not be done without growth in certain aspects, which in itself requires more power. You obtain power through hardship, pain, and discpline. Sitting around talking about emotions isn't gonna do anything
If you are not suffering, your brain will invent imaginary suffering to keep you moving. We call it boredom.
You can either suffer while growing, or suffer in luxury. We each have our preferences, but I have found suffering in luxury to be MUCH worse.
Control and power over self is the most important and noble thing to achieve.
Just amazingly simple and clear. It appears we have swapped out "suffering" used in the 19th century for "challenges" in the modern day. Don't be afraid to suffer...The key is to know what you are suffering for.
I chuckled when I read the title because I don't remember nietzsche being an all to happy fella from what I have learned 😆
This world would be great if we focussed on empowering others rather than overpowering them.
Agreed. Pursuit of power, in and of itself, is easily corrupted into domination and greed. Pursuit of virtues such as meaning, truth, & wisdom are more sure routes to personal development, and when shared, empower not only the self, but others as well.
One should pursuit power for oneself and owns family
“Never, ever go near power. Don’t become friends with anyone who has real power. It’s dangerous.”

“Perfection and power are overrated. I think you are wise to choose happiness and love.” -Uncle Iroh
Multiple chills from this one. Wow. Cannot thank you enough friend! So much to extract.
Nietzsche went crazy towards the end of his life we must realize that, and know that life isn’t about power. Or any other neurotic anxious ideas. but about knowing our creator and why he put us here. That will bring us true happiness. As St Augustine says my heart is heartless until it rests in the. We must do what makes us happy which is being in connection with God and living morally upright.
You can't stay happy, it's temporary. Build, create, grow instead.
Awareness of my shadow and insecurities....owning the trigger thus dissolving its energy. That and knowledge put into action. Is my empowerment. Consistancy.
This is such a fucking amazing exposition of how to take a noble course through life. No negations of being, full blown self empowerment through a cycle of seeking.
It depends on the definitions of "power". In Spanish Academy.... it is "Having expedited the faculty or power to do something. 2. tr. Having ease, time or place to do something."
Anyway, my question was about rationality in animals....
This subject was in part discussed by Eugene the Philostopher on his video "Relativity of Rationality"...
Is power rational or irrational?
Is it emotional then?
Wouldn't humans become animals if they just look for power?
And what about personal realization and Jung's Individuation process? Does it require power or SELF-POWER?
The definition of power by Friedrich Nietzsche is mastery.
The best kind of power there is. Accept no substitute!
one of the best videos on Nietzsche I watched! Here you summarized splendidly the most important aspect of Nietzsche's philosophy. Excellent job!

"There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way" Wayne Dyer
Thats pure ZEN !!
These are the words of a man which have yet to experience true love for a person. As when I was alone, me two was in seek of power, and goals gave me pleasure and happiness or so I thought… but compare these to love and it was like a few drops in an infinite ocean… feeling sorry for nietzche…
Being in _mutual love_ or yearning for somebody particular?
Yearning was when I was in search for someone but after finding that person, everything that was before, gaining power, having big goals were just a big hoax playing in my head like a stupid teenager. Life is much easier and simpler and is clear when you’re “on the other side”. Just don’t become a psycho and be fooled by this growth mindset s***t, unless you really born into it and really have a calling like from really young. Life needs so much less to be happy, especially now with all this technology. If we would stop bull**** ourselves, get the b***s and ask a loved one out and settle down, like a normal human being, this power and goals b***t will go away in an instant. Finding and accepting who you are is a hard but a liberating feeling, sooner or later nature will take your corse of action for you either you accept it or not.
"Where there is no love power fills the void."

@@Todrianth I would love to hear you elaborate on this a little more it's an interesting comment tbh
I dunno, to me gaining power was like an elaborate procrastination and cowardly defense mechanism stopping me from living my life in the present. So go and ask out that person you like, go out and make new friends and discard toxic ones and start living NOW and make “power seeking” secondary and just a fun thing to enjoy that comes naturally and as a byproduct by doing what you like, rather than a means to an end that SOME DAY I will be powerful enough that people could not hurt me or be respected enough so people will love me. That’s just a perfectionist way of thinking, outside of reality. At least that what I feel to be e true and felt it since the beginning but was to afraid to act rather than “prepare to act” when “the time is right”, when “I was powerful enough”. So go fall in love, make a home and be joyful, power is for the obsessive cowardly immature people anyway and in extreme cases for psychos that want world domination and control. Sure if you have a calling like from very young and receive the guidance that goes along with it to become something inspiring, then go for it. But don’t dilute yourself into believing that power will somehow bring you happiness to you cuz it won’t. People will stay near you out of a twisted Stockholm Syndrome fear psychologic effect or because they want power for themself by aligning next to you. All of this is just a tyrannical way of controlling people, is not love, is just forced twisted control and manipulation of their own minds and desires projected through you to them. True love is out of love itself, like speaking the truth out of love for the truth or doing the right thing out of the love of doing the right thing, not because of a specific reason, or goal or protection mechanism or perfectionism or basically an egocentric obsession of god-like desires. It’s both unrealistic and in the end just disappointing.
Learn to conquer oneself, and none shall conquer you
I see now why Nietzsche's work is so found in close proximity to some of the darkest moments in human history
The reason why meditators seek to do what is needed rather than what they want to do, is because happiness is easily obtained through inward work. Once you have happiness, in order to spread more good in the world you need power, aka the ability to take righteous action which has large rippling effects.

Do not seek power, happiness, love, etc. because you cannot have it all. If I give you all the power of the universe you will be unfulfilled anyway. The same thing to happiness, love, knowledge etc. It's just an illusion. The moment you don't seek anything, you will be at the peak of cosmic evolution.
@Mircea Florian be a good example for him then and start walking your talk
Don´t make any mistake guys: Its all about power over o u r s e l v e s !!!
Life fulfillment gained from overcoming internal obstacles not from material things. Such as a video game constantly leveling up, learning, gaining skills - not from external sources. Got it, makes sense!
This is helpful to me today, and affirms the lessons I’ve already been learning on a long road of differentiation after having been codependent for many years.
