    Nietzche was on another level compared to other western philosophers. He had a level of insight that was on par with many great mystics.

      @@omarihoward8168 I think the point is that you can't. That'd be akin to a theory of everything, and institutions are very resistant to testing those because of the cultural impacts experiments on morality would cause. It's a great philosophy, but only insofar as it's an abstract metaphor for something that he couldn't have said if he wanted to, and I'm sure he did

      @@Mnnwer Many who are influenced by him seem to look over his message. For Foucault for example, who is endlessly cited throughout universities in the West, he only used his genealogy method to push his own ideas (which are quite antithetical of Nietzsche's ideas to begin with).

    The Genealogy of Morals along with Beyond good and evil, have been beyond the most bias cancelling book I've ever read. Nietzsche proves insane realities, such as that the romanticism and Marxist movements were founded on Christian principles of egalitarianism, rather than the traditional classical moral orders of antiquity, as our culture leads us to believe. You also begin to see the quite obvious "post-hocness" of modernism, and how almost every claim is meant for some kind of social effect, be it conscious or subconscious. Mostly everybody in the modern world, with the exception of a hand few of people, are miles below Nietzsche, in terms of self reflection and social critique. Most leftists think that he disliked religion. Far from true, he thought man needed a healthy amount of illusion or faith in order to live. He was a fan of certain religions, others he despised. What was important was the values which undergirded them.

    Lex, you should have me on. As host of The Nietzsche Podcast, I can help correct many of the popular errors about Nietzsche that are unfortunately repeated by many intellectuals without a comprehensive knowledge of his ideas. Further, as I live in Austin, arranging an interview should be quite easy!

    Happiness comes and goes, rather to be in love with life, as it can only be transmitted, nothing can give me this feeling; one always gets the sense that others are looking for happiness, or experiencing it, but it's a parasitic situation, an arrangement.
    Love 🧡 exists above all, one gets into love like a bird flies in the sky, its a mode of being-it is being-it is liberation from the world as an arrangement, from the loops, from the cultural habit of being told what to do and going through the motions. Love is freedom, it has no obligation, but attracts everything, and everything is invited, but does not oppress once inside it. Fearlessly beyond fate and karma and found in the ocean of possibility where the mind becomes music and words have no choice but to be prayer. God lives there.

    • @davidlenz9902
      @davidlenz9902 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Love isn't just "liberation" from society, or from being told what to do. That may be for a teenager, but for an adult, it's also discipline. It's prudence and temperance, as well as moderation (perhaps the most important virtue). Compassion isn't good in and of itself, but rather to be compassionate, for the right reasons, to the right degrees, to the right people. Too little and too much are vices indeed. The _mean_ is where virtue lies. Aristotle's "doctrine of the mean".

      No one says you shouldn't be happy. There are actions initiated by others that lets you know that your happiness is unwarranted in their mind. People wont be explicit about feeling that your happiness is unjust, but they will certainly act in a cowardly manner by exhibiting their displeasure for people's happiness in other ways. They're contempt for your happiness is not always obvious and you would be naive to think it requires individuals to walk around explicitly saying you shouldn't be happy.
