Nietzsche's philosophy has been one of my favorites for more than a decade. Thank you for sharing his brilliance with your channel and male audience; it's needed more than ever.
Read some of Nietzsche's work years ago. Message I get from it is stop conforming, reach your own full potential, and let the herd go to hell. Kinda harsh? Not really. Great video and timely message (or reminder).
Excellent video James covering this gentleman I think if this gentleman was alive today he would be disappointed with many modern men wasting their potential
The heardism which you described is very recognizable, envy and jealousy rule As you explained, most people might want the same succes and luxury, however are ashamed to admit it is to much out of their comfort zone. Wokism has been a dangerous development and it is good to see it is on its return I really appreciate your channel and opinion, thank you.
Excellent Nietzsche doctrine. The general discussion at university regarding this was finding the balance is pleasure. Otherwise, we may all end up with an endless pursuit of goals. Which at first thought isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, one also doesn’t want to look back at the end of their life and have marked off all the goals but forgotten to live.
Although I do not agree with everything this gentleman said But he was definitely an intelligent gentleman and ahead of its time way he wrote and spoke Following his philosophy is one of the reasons I took big risk after high school investing my University $ into crypto stocks and couple other things Although many said I just took huge dumb debt. But I am glad I did as now some of my friends are stuck in society herd slave style life One of the main reasons I am currently helping my one friend who is 20 fully focus on her modelling dream vs getting stuck in society unhappy herd scripts of life
I really like the idea of referring to classic philosophers and adapting their solutions when discussing classic masculinity and it's implementation in modern society. Thumbs up!
I left the U.S. southeast to escape one system of soul-killing conformity (religious conservatism), only to end up on the west coast facing a different system of soul-killing conformity (liberal DEIJ). Both try to convince you their system is correct, and while one does have better morals toward equity, they still shun anything outside of those systems (different perceptions and even questioning those systems at all). So, I reject both and make my own, like Nietzsche and several other great philosophers. When we live in an insane world, the sane are often seen as insane.
I'm genuinely happy that you are a reader of Nietzsche, but I'm wondering if Nietzsche would have approved his ideas into abstract notions of self-improvement for young men despite his sacrificial, rigorous intellectual work. Already, great many people still misunderstand him since our thought structures are still dogmatic, it seems to me that dumbing down his ideas will only spread more misinformation since our instincts are open to self-justification based on what we already know. But on the other hand, it's a great headstart for anyone who's looking to delve into philosophy, but I doubt this audience are willing to do that, and as much as I hate to mention the obvious, Nietzsche is not where anyone starts.
Talking about Nietzsch in reference for philosophy is like dragging Tarantula into every discussion about filmmaking. This vid felt like a whole evening of that subject.
OK, you blew it about DEI, wokeism, and etc. There is too much animus and cruelty against these ideas, that prevent rational conversation. All men are created equal. The Right and the russian fascism sweeping the world uses these words to smear and destroy the best instincts of our society. Read Timothy Synder’s The Road to Unfreedom.
Cope. Literally just sperging out and saying nothing, not everything you disagree with is fascism and you talk about having "rational conversation" lol You can't even present a single coherent argument to the contrary. Also, no, we are not all created equal. Literally not one bit. In what way is anyone created equal.
Nietzsche had a lot of really seminal ideas and it's important that we get more of these philosophers' ideas out into modern situations where they can be extremely helpful. And although the TISM song is (very) obscure, perhaps you should have titled this video as the song: "I'm Gonna Treat Ya to a Nietzsche Double Feature": th-cam.com/video/CffN-hQKB1s/w-d-xo.html
I have been watching your channel for a while now and I have to thank you for what you’ve accomplished. I recommend looking into the roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. He teaches the value of virtue and purpose as a person who had zero restrictions put on him by society/peers. I would love to connect and chat more.
I have nothing against this channel or creator but this is a silly vulgarization of Nietzsche's thought. You can not reduce his philosophy to a series of cute little soundbites about "masculinity", as if his message was meant to be for men in general and not a microscopic elite (the idea that he thought every man has an inner "ubermensch" just waiting to emerge is especially laughable and misleading). His criticism of modern society can not be separated from his longing for a return to slavery, his unapologetic misoginy, his anti christianity, his rejection of capitalist vulgarity, none of which were even mentioned here.
Anti-Christian, Nietzsche? I would consider that a compliment. Christianity is a religion of fear, and in Martin Luther’s case, a screed and creed against reason and science. I reject capitalist vulgarity, especially the Russian fascist variety of oligarchy that Trump is transforming America into. As for a longing to return to slavery, wow, I thought that was what christianity and capitalism were all about. Your comments have a lot of attitude but no reasonable arguments or presentation of facts.
The purpose of this video is to re-frame Nietzsche's ideas and make them accessible and relevant to my audience. These are my interpretations of his work and I prefer to focus on what is useful rather than attack the character of a particular philosopher.
There are no trolls. But rather intelligent people who take the writings of Nietzsche seriously. Not as some pop-art thing to do. This guy is a close horse from Britain who tells men how to dress here in America. He proclaims sandals are out but suede loafers are in. Coordinate your wardrobe for that polished look, i.e, gay. He knows very little about philosophy much less Nietzsche and his deep thoughts. Blame the presenter in this case for his lack of understanding and telling men how they should act into some pop-art sound bits. This guy only knows how you should tie your shoelaces, much less how to think about your self.
Remember, brother. It’s not about the number of many, but the quality of one. Find yourself a solid gold woman and don’t wait. Seize the opportunity. Many will leave you feeling empty, but someone who draws out your strengths will bring you the greatest satisfaction.
Nietzsche's philosophy has been one of my favorites for more than a decade. Thank you for sharing his brilliance with your channel and male audience; it's needed more than ever.
I'm glad to hear it. I agree, Nietzsche's ideas are particularly relevant to this time in history
Read some of Nietzsche's work years ago. Message I get from it is stop conforming, reach your own full potential, and let the herd go to hell. Kinda harsh? Not really.
Great video and timely message (or reminder).
They are my main takeaways too. Glad you enjoyed the video, Rico
This You Tube video is a GRAND SLAM. You hit it out of the ball park like you always do.
Thanks very much, Brian
So basically you are saying, stay out of your comfort zone and take challenges to grow, regardless of how comfortable you are.
I would argue that one element of masculine attainment is being comfortable in any situation... No matter how uncomfortable it is :)
I didn't expect you to talk about Nietzsche
I like to keep things unpredictable. Too many TH-cam channels become stale quickly by repeating the same content
Excellent video James covering this gentleman
I think if this gentleman was alive today he would be disappointed with many modern men wasting their potential
I agree that Nietzsche would be disappointed, if not surprised, at the state of the male population.
great that you are talking more about philosophy, love to see it
Glad to hear it. More videos like this to come
"Just enough...."
It reminds me that JOB is an acronym standing for Just Over Broke.
I agree with that, for the most part.
Finally! Been wanting to watch the full video ever since I saw the Shorts. 😮
A wonderful interpretation with ideas suited for present time and truly timeless.
lol to Tony Montana thumbnail! I love it.
The heardism which you described is very recognizable, envy and jealousy rule

I really appreciate your channel and opinion, thank you.
Thanks for making my favorite video of the year. Everyone should see your video and reflect upon their lives and existence .
TY
Stoicism is a decent philosophy for men to handle things too.
Love it.
Talk about stoicism
Woah! This was an amazing video, great for end of year. Thank you!
I'm 51 years old and all of a sudden I'm working on my plan to conquer the world.🤣
I knew you were Nietzschean! Awesome dude!
in honor of the recently deceased President Carter; could we get a dedicated stylish presidents video on specifically his cardigan fashion ?

James, I hope young men find value in your content. It is insightful for one's direction in life. Keep up the good work!
Great video
Respect for this, especially the ending.

Life is full of dead-end traps that seem safe and comforting but lead their followers to lead quiet lives of desperation
@ Very well said

Well said, there's still so much to learn from Nietzsche's, even 120 years after his passing. Very insightful of you.
Good stuff!
Great video, i would love to know the books you read and researched for the making of this video
The lottery ticket analogy is spot on
A reactionary route is not the greatest to take.
Great topic, especially love the herd mentality part
It all sounds very interesting. When you really think about this episode of yours, James, I agree with what Nietzches wrote.
I'm genuinely happy that you are a reader of Nietzsche, but I'm wondering if Nietzsche would have approved his ideas into abstract notions of self-improvement for young men despite his sacrificial, rigorous intellectual work.

Tony Montana is evil

Gentlemen I would recommend reading works by excellent writer Fyodor Dostoevsky
This gentleman also excellent writer
OK, you blew it about DEI, wokeism, and etc. There is too much animus and cruelty against these ideas, that prevent rational conversation. All men are created equal. The Right and the russian fascism sweeping the world uses these words to smear and destroy the best instincts of our society. Read Timothy Synder’s The Road to Unfreedom.
'All men are created equal'
Anyone who genuinely believes this is living in the clouds. A comfortable fantasy if there ever was one.
@ripvanwinkle6557This is the principle of a true man, though not all may realize.
Cope. Literally just sperging out and saying nothing, not everything you disagree with is fascism and you talk about having "rational conversation" lol
You can't even present a single coherent argument to the contrary.
Also, no, we are not all created equal. Literally not one bit. In what way is anyone created equal.
Fino senhor 🍷🗿
What if neiztches philosophy becomes then, the herd mentality. His principle would then become a paradox
Cover "Men Among the Ruins" by Julius Evola next
Thanks for the recommendation. I've not heard of this work but I'll take a look.
Self chosen health well being I'm going to meditate on this

Neitz committed su!side, at a very young age. Most of his writings were in his late teens and early 20,s.
DON'T TAKE HIS ADVICE!!
Good grief
He was one of the best out there.
Not really but ok
Who is Neitz?
I have nothing against this channel or creator but this is a silly vulgarization of Nietzsche's thought. You can not reduce his philosophy to a series of cute little soundbites about "masculinity", as if his message was meant to be for men in general and not a microscopic elite (the idea that he thought every man has an inner "ubermensch" just waiting to emerge is especially laughable and misleading). His criticism of modern society can not be separated from his longing for a return to slavery, his unapologetic misoginy, his anti christianity, his rejection of capitalist vulgarity, none of which were even mentioned here.
Wow you must be fun at parties
Nietzche talked about reality, his ideas were always meant for the few capable of conscious action and change
Anti-Christian, Nietzsche? I would consider that a compliment. Christianity is a religion of fear, and in Martin Luther’s case, a screed and creed against reason and science. I reject capitalist vulgarity, especially the Russian fascist variety of oligarchy that Trump is transforming America into.

@@Gent.ZWell said and intentioned. Context, audience in this case, is king.
James, you have finally declared yourself on the right side of the culture war!
Good stuff. The trolls can bugger off .

@ yawn . Time for bed .
Plus: Uber-mench always has a HAREM!
Remember, brother. It’s not about the number of many, but the quality of one. Find yourself a solid gold woman and don’t wait. Seize the opportunity. Many will leave you feeling empty, but someone who draws out your strengths will bring you the greatest satisfaction.
I don't think Nietzsche got much action to be honest but I see your point.
Great Video
