@@agingerbeardbro, it is. It's fuckin hidden from people which watch netflix, mrbearst or podcasts. This is fuckin revolution, which we don't see yet.
“When was the last time you did something that you would do forever.” is one of the most thought provoking sentences i have ever heard in my life. Your videos always leave that seed in my head that I can’t get rid of, keep making them
I KNOW! Even if he releases nothing for years, he's one of those far and few who still have my full attention and excitement when the next video gets uploaded. His work has the ability to secern top level "stuff" and the skill to assemble those people and ideas in a very approachable and valuable form. Some damn good essay videos!
Great introduction to Nietzsche, the man and his work. For people new to him, I wouldn't recommend starting with Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It's difficult, full of symbolism, aphoristic. Start with The Genealogy of Morals instead.
Zarathustra is basically the pinacle of his work, and should be read after having a wide understanding of his philosophy to understand his allegories and poetry
This is true on many levels and scenarios. I recently reacquainted myself with the person I considered to be my best friend back in high school. Most assuredly, he was one of the most positively influential people in my entire life. I adored and revered him. In hindsight, he was better suited in that role from a distance, as one of inspiration and aspiration. I am since pained by how my perception of him has changed, and how it has tainted even some of my fond memories.
@@Diegps good question. im not. i am more bothered by the general world of social media money and what else could be done with that money. there are people writing books with new thoughts that can’t get paid, there are people working full 8 hour shifts in america that don’t make 100 bucks.
damn dude. this was a therapeutic experience. just as you say reading his work requires ones own interpretation, so did watching this video. I struggle with addiction. From drugs to food to physical exhaustion, I seem to be white knuckling through every day hoping not to slip up. exposure to this idea, for what its worth in the moment, helped me reframe this anxiety and urge into something that lies outside of my actual self. it was a stark reminder of how gripping my thoughts can be onto my physical body, making me react upon urges to quell the pain, rather than to observe; hopefully to use as a catalyst into a better self. Thank you so much man. I really fucking needed this. I also dont really know if anything i said makes sense from the context of watching this video, but this is what i got. so again, as abstract a it may be, thank you.
Embrace the pain, it makes you into a diamond. My sanctuary, is being in, walking in nature, the forest. Find yours, not in manic, or escaping way. Love you.
Dude this is exactly what Nietzche wanted us to do; interpret. I think this is so cool and I'm so glad there are other people discovering meaning in his works.

Excellent video, my friend! I'd like to add two anecdotes, if I may. 1) You mentioned Nietzsche had two siblings. Nietzsche had a dream that a grave had opened up and his father came to take his little brother away into death. Sadly, this dream proved prophetic. 2) His sister, Elizabeth, had a second death-mask cast of Nietzsche's final face. She wanted a polished, perfect version--whereas the original was the face of death. A face time and existence had worn down. I think he would've been absolutely repulsed by her actions. He couldn't stand the kind of fake bullshit perfection she was trying to pretend was the truth. I have recently discovered your channel, and I must say that I'm a huge fan. People need to hear and grapple with these ideas if we are ever going to overcome the Philistine politicians and businessmen who "lead" the world today.
@@nl3064 He also visited the shrine of Nietzsche that Elizabeth had constructed. I can't imagine betraying my own brother the way Elizabeth did Nietzsche.
So many people on TH-cam get Nietzche wrong. This is one of the best videos I have seen. A very accurate analysis. I would love to see you make a full video on the eternal recurrence
Some of the most hard hitting and beautiful writings ive ever read. His will to power is the answer many people of my generation are close to uncovering. I believe his writing was the spark that many years later will create the society of individuals that will erase the chaos of the last 100 years. He and I both have a boundless optimism for the future of man, that one day soon we will learn to to be super.
I'm out in my backyard watering my plants with my grandma and old dog. I look at my phone and see a Horses video dropped... I must be doing somethings right to be so lucky! Keep going Horses !!!
This is one of, if not the very best Nietzsche videos I’ve ever heard. Very unique perspective in the video (and quite a comforting delivery given the topic)
As mentioned in the video, Nietzsche's writings tend to be viewed as having a more pessimistic feel. Personally, I've never seen them that way, it was even pointed out in the video. Nietzsche's concept of the ubermensch in itself says that it can be done, and that, in time, people could achieve such a state of being. It could be fun to explore the opposite side of this with Nihilism and Pessimism. With writers like Schopenhauer, Cioran or someone not very well known like Caraco, who paint a much bleaker picture of reality. Somehow, I never could agree with the philosophy of Nietzsche because it would open me up to the possibilities of becoming better, but at the end of the day, the experience of being alive would always bring me back to the pessimistic way of thinking and living. It's not really a doom and gloom way of thinking, but more of a sober look at reality and realising it sucks. How can someone think that humans can become more when every single day we prove that we are nothing more than very destructive animals?
@@johnstewart2143it's very easy to believe that we were. a creator's benevolence necessitates that he endow his sentient creation with the freedom to depart from it's intended function, and the tools with which to return.
@@dawsontankersley4286 a creator didn't have to create temptation, sin, suffering, disease, starvation, brutality and an eternal punishment, but an evil creator would. If this was all created it was created by evil.
For anyone bold enough to dive right into Nietzsche’s primary writings(not having read from a secondary viewpoint like a textbook.) I recommend first Genealogy of Morals, then Beyond Good and Evil. Then you can go into Twilight of the Idols and the Antichrist. Resist the urge to read Thus spake Zarathustra first! It might make no sense!
I actually read Zarathustra first, when I was sixteen. I believe I understood it pretty well for the most part. And while most of his works offer brilliant insights, Antichrist I remember thinking was kind of insufferable - it was boring, devoid of many of the gems he offered in his other works, and sounded honestly like a teenage edgelord trying to sound edgy. Again, this is only from vague recollection, but Antichrist felt platitudinal, try hard, and a watered-down derivative of his earlier work (if I recall, it was the last philosophical tract he wrote before his breakdown).
You need to read On The Use and Abuse of History for Life if you have any hope to understand Nietzsche. Also Ecce Homo, he explains his jokes in that one. Everything between those books is full of traps designed to make fun of and confuse the reader. Nietzsche was a satirist.
I am thankful for this channel. In a sphere of noise, aggression, and overstimulations, Horses soothes and repositions my brain for the better. And I'm gathering slowly that somethibg similar occurs for all of you.
To anyone who hasn't read or is returning to Nietzsche, please read his work under the care and sight of Walter Kaufmann! He is largely the reason why we now have a "clean" interpretation of Nietzche :)
Ive recently, like really recently a few days ago read a book by Irvin D. Yalom called when Nietzsche cried which led me to bying and now reading some of nietzsches works. Its a really moving book that showcases very well Nietzsches ideologys , weakend health and mistrust towards other humans . I really recommend it even tho i should mention it isnt based on real life events
16:42 "Is your life worth repeating? Are the choices you make worthy of eternity? When was the last time you did something that you would do forever?" That's deep
Less than a year ago… at least I think.. you had under 100k subs. Sir, this attention is so well deserved. You’re phenomenal at making interesting content. I thank you kind sir
I like some of Nietzsche's ideas but ultimately his philosophy is too open-ended for consummate good to come of it. He was more of a poet than anything--The ideas of eternal recurrence and the void come so close to the philosophy that I subscribe to, which is Vajrayana Buddhism, but they somehow fall short by rejecting basic laws of the universe like cause and effect and interdependence. In my opinion, his philosophy basically amounts to filling the void left by meaning with your own ego, which is decidedly not what is going to end suffering or make the world better.
Isn't that the basis of ontology and philosophy? To explain the unexplainable. To open up the closed parts of the mind? To access the forbidden? Leaving it open ended allows thoughts to continue being thunk. If there was a conclusion, philosophy would be vapid and redundant and we wouldn't need it anymore. Just my thoughts.
I agree with you. The reckless individualism and influence of Nietchze had a pretty big role in the ideology of a party who caused a particularly terrible part of modern human history. That wouldn't happen under Buddhism
Criticizing Nietzsche misses the essence-true freedom, born from taking full responsibility for oneself, is the foundation of the Übermensch. Only through this self-mastery can genuine kindness emerge, rooted in strength, not weakness.
Thank you so much for sharing this clear summary of these absolutely essential philosophies for humanity. I have never found such relatable content as your channel and this video. Thank you.
I’ve loved Nietzsche since I was introduced to his work while earning my German degree and I absolutely agree it’s a massive tragedy that he’s seen as a nihilist. When I started reading his work I was surprised at how positive his ideas ultimately were and I think a lot of younger people would really resonate with his ideas in our strange post-post-modernist world.
Interesting. I always thought that the blank slate picture of life where you fill it with meaning was an obvious extension of nihilism. I didn't know it was different at all. And strength isn't just being able to overpower something. Those who endure are also strong. The image of a woman beating an animal can be shown as a tiny mouse, harmlessly whipping a great beast, who gladly takes on the minor burden of pulling the cart forward. The strength of that great beast is not in ultimate ferocity, but in generosity, restraint, and care.
Great video. I've recently got into reading for enjoyment again and have been considering tackling some of Nietzsche's work. This video was the sign I needed, thank you!
i wish more people talked about how whiny and egotistical of a man nietzsche was. we're here for his philosophy, not him. too many people out there worship the dude instead of the broader humanistic ideas he was attempting to portray underneath all the complaining.
thank you for your content. really gets the brain going. you can see the effort you put into these films and i don’t think you get the recognition you deserve. i hope one day you do.
Nietzsche's basic outlook was the spirit that "I'm the greatest, I love myself, I take whatever I want, and I don't really give a damn about anyone else, since they are my inferiors, by virtue of the fact I succeeded in taking from them." Survival of the "fittest" in a dog-eat-dog world, all the way. A spirit that later helped Germany go to the dogs, with a mad dog of a leader who led an impassioned hate crusade, ending in bloodshed and death on a massive scale as its philosophical legacy. Nietzsche the superman ended his days in an insane asylum. How shallow, vain and lacking in perspective are the junior philosophical bastards who sing the praises of Nietzsche's name, and who want to follow his path?

Go for Human, Alltoohuman instead of the Genealogy.

I would say Gay Science is easier to understand. But Genealogy of Morals is a good reading, and Beyond Good and Evil too.

Hey man great work once again! Love to see your content. Especially you choice plot throughout your storytelling, vocabulary and graphics. Keep it up, you are truly doing something unique and "right". Take care and be safe. Thanks a lot!!!!
Thanks, man, for this amazing knowledge. Your way of interpreting ideas makes it more peaceful and persuasive. ♥♥
I just started reading a book about him today. You're creeping me out but i like it
That was an emotional chefs kiss. Thank you for the work you put into creating this.
Excellent video, my friend! I'd like to add two anecdotes, if I may. 1) You mentioned Nietzsche had two siblings. Nietzsche had a dream that a grave had opened up and his father came to take his little brother away into death. Sadly, this dream proved prophetic. 2) His sister, Elizabeth, had a second death-mask cast of Nietzsche's final face. She wanted a polished, perfect version--whereas the original was the face of death. A face time and existence had worn down. I think he would've been absolutely repulsed by her actions. He couldn't stand the kind of fake bullshit perfection she was trying to pretend was the truth.
I have recently discovered your channel, and I must say that I'm a huge fan. People need to hear and grapple with these ideas if we are ever going to overcome the Philistine politicians and businessmen who "lead" the world today.
If I remember correctly, I read that Hitler himself attended Elizabeth's funeral. Just an interesting piece of trivia.
@@nl3064 He also visited the shrine of Nietzsche that Elizabeth had constructed. I can't imagine betraying my own brother the way Elizabeth did Nietzsche.
This is the best description of Nietzsche I have seen on youtube
So many people on TH-cam get Nietzche wrong. This is one of the best videos I have seen. A very accurate analysis. I would love to see you make a full video on the eternal recurrence
So impressed with the writing and voice over. It's a masterpiece.
Some of the most hard hitting and beautiful writings ive ever read. His will to power is the answer many people of my generation are close to uncovering. I believe his writing was the spark that many years later will create the society of individuals that will erase the chaos of the last 100 years. He and I both have a boundless optimism for the future of man, that one day soon we will learn to to be super.
Honestly I look forward to your videos the most on TH-cam, favorite channel 🔥🔥🔥
I'm out in my backyard watering my plants with my grandma and old dog. I look at my phone and see a Horses video dropped... I must be doing somethings right to be so lucky! Keep going Horses !!!
This is one of, if not the very best Nietzsche videos I’ve ever heard. Very unique perspective in the video (and quite a comforting delivery given the topic)
As mentioned in the video, Nietzsche's writings tend to be viewed as having a more pessimistic feel. Personally, I've never seen them that way, it was even pointed out in the video. Nietzsche's concept of the ubermensch in itself says that it can be done, and that, in time, people could achieve such a state of being. It could be fun to explore the opposite side of this with Nihilism and Pessimism. With writers like Schopenhauer, Cioran or someone not very well known like Caraco, who paint a much bleaker picture of reality.
Somehow, I never could agree with the philosophy of Nietzsche because it would open me up to the possibilities of becoming better, but at the end of the day, the experience of being alive would always bring me back to the pessimistic way of thinking and living. It's not really a doom and gloom way of thinking, but more of a sober look at reality and realising it sucks. How can someone think that humans can become more when every single day we prove that we are nothing more than very destructive animals?
Hard to believe that humanity is in a gods image. At least not of an all loving and all knowing one.
@@johnstewart2143it's very easy to believe that we were. a creator's benevolence necessitates that he endow his sentient creation with the freedom to depart from it's intended function, and the tools with which to return.
@@dawsontankersley4286 a creator didn't have to create temptation, sin, suffering, disease, starvation, brutality and an eternal punishment, but an evil creator would. If this was all created it was created by evil.
@@johnstewart2143You ain't lying.
Any god that creates or allows so much suffering isn't worthy of worship.
your name fits
Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication that you put into this. It is truly a joy to watch.
For anyone bold enough to dive right into Nietzsche’s primary writings(not having read from a secondary viewpoint like a textbook.) I recommend first Genealogy of Morals, then Beyond Good and Evil. Then you can go into Twilight of the Idols and the Antichrist. Resist the urge to read Thus spake Zarathustra first! It might make no sense!
I actually read Zarathustra first, when I was sixteen. I believe I understood it pretty well for the most part. And while most of his works offer brilliant insights, Antichrist I remember thinking was kind of insufferable - it was boring, devoid of many of the gems he offered in his other works, and sounded honestly like a teenage edgelord trying to sound edgy. Again, this is only from vague recollection, but Antichrist felt platitudinal, try hard, and a watered-down derivative of his earlier work (if I recall, it was the last philosophical tract he wrote before his breakdown).
You need to read On The Use and Abuse of History for Life if you have any hope to understand Nietzsche. Also Ecce Homo, he explains his jokes in that one. Everything between those books is full of traps designed to make fun of and confuse the reader. Nietzsche was a satirist.
I also started with Genealogy of Morals. The rest of the order to me is more fluid but GoM is fundamental.
I am thankful for this channel. In a sphere of noise, aggression, and overstimulations, Horses soothes and repositions my brain for the better. And I'm gathering slowly that somethibg similar occurs for all of you.
To anyone who hasn't read or is returning to Nietzsche, please read his work under the care and sight of Walter Kaufmann! He is largely the reason why we now have a "clean" interpretation of Nietzche :)
This is the best hidden gem on youtube. You have a great talent for making thought-provoking videos.
Ive recently, like really recently a few days ago read a book by Irvin D. Yalom called when Nietzsche cried which led me to bying and now reading some of nietzsches works. Its a really moving book that showcases very well Nietzsches ideologys , weakend health and mistrust towards other humans . I really recommend it even tho i should mention it isnt based on real life events
This vid and O'Death are probably my favorite videos of yours
16:42 "Is your life worth repeating? Are the choices you make worthy of eternity? When was the last time you did something that you would do forever?" That's deep
This is such a powerful video. These are the kinds of videos that keep me coming back to youtube even with how much I despise google.
Uber translates as modern day taxi
Genius
Come pick me up bruh
Call me Ubermensch cuz I'm so driven
@@Omnywrench 😂😂😂
So... Taxi man? Weird superhero image
I live for this channel. Keep doing what youre doing ❤
I got mommy asmr next up on my queue
Less than a year ago… at least I think.. you had under 100k subs. Sir, this attention is so well deserved. You’re phenomenal at making interesting content. I thank you kind sir
I like some of Nietzsche's ideas but ultimately his philosophy is too open-ended for consummate good to come of it. He was more of a poet than anything--The ideas of eternal recurrence and the void come so close to the philosophy that I subscribe to, which is Vajrayana Buddhism, but they somehow fall short by rejecting basic laws of the universe like cause and effect and interdependence. In my opinion, his philosophy basically amounts to filling the void left by meaning with your own ego, which is decidedly not what is going to end suffering or make the world better.
Isn't that the basis of ontology and philosophy? To explain the unexplainable. To open up the closed parts of the mind? To access the forbidden? Leaving it open ended allows thoughts to continue being thunk. If there was a conclusion, philosophy would be vapid and redundant and we wouldn't need it anymore. Just my thoughts.
I agree with you. The reckless individualism and influence of Nietchze had a pretty big role in the ideology of a party who caused a particularly terrible part of modern human history. That wouldn't happen under Buddhism
This was a really interesting comment and it has me thinking more about the works of his I've read.
Criticizing Nietzsche misses the essence-true freedom, born from taking full responsibility for oneself, is the foundation of the Übermensch. Only through this self-mastery can genuine kindness emerge, rooted in strength, not weakness.
Thank you so much for sharing this clear summary of these absolutely essential philosophies for humanity. I have never found such relatable content as your channel and this video.
Thank you.
The sword merch is unique I’ll give you that and I want it lol
Beyond-human might be a helpful English translation. Very well made video, I really find these enjoyable, informative, and too aesthetically on point
I’ve loved Nietzsche since I was introduced to his work while earning my German degree and I absolutely agree it’s a massive tragedy that he’s seen as a nihilist. When I started reading his work I was surprised at how positive his ideas ultimately were and I think a lot of younger people would really resonate with his ideas in our strange post-post-modernist world.
true, i started reading nietzsche and i felt the same way
Surprised to find out how much I agree with F.N. Sound thinking, all of it and I absolutely love your work on this!
Interesting. I always thought that the blank slate picture of life where you fill it with meaning was an obvious extension of nihilism.
I didn't know it was different at all.
And strength isn't just being able to overpower something. Those who endure are also strong. The image of a woman beating an animal can be shown as a tiny mouse, harmlessly whipping a great beast, who gladly takes on the minor burden of pulling the cart forward.
The strength of that great beast is not in ultimate ferocity, but in generosity, restraint, and care.
Great video. I've recently got into reading for enjoyment again and have been considering tackling some of Nietzsche's work. This video was the sign I needed, thank you!
i wish more people talked about how whiny and egotistical of a man nietzsche was. we're here for his philosophy, not him. too many people out there worship the dude instead of the broader humanistic ideas he was attempting to portray underneath all the complaining.
Discovering this channel was one of the best things that ever happened to me
i heard hey is for horses
thank you for your content. really gets the brain going. you can see the effort you put into these films and i don’t think you get the recognition you deserve. i hope one day you do.
Wow, the Algo really doesnt like this Video 😢
Thanks for your work. You become my favourite channel
If you ask me marcus aurelius is a prime example of the uber mensch as a man who truly existed
Glad to see you still pumping, much love.
“When was the last time you did something you would do forever?”
Right now. I watched this video 😅
Easily one of the best channels on the site. Absolutely amazing work, every time.
Nietzsche's basic outlook was the spirit that "I'm the greatest, I love myself, I take whatever I want, and I don't really give a damn about anyone else, since they are my inferiors, by virtue of the fact I succeeded in taking from them." Survival of the "fittest" in a dog-eat-dog world, all the way. A spirit that later helped Germany go to the dogs, with a mad dog of a leader who led an impassioned hate crusade, ending in bloodshed and death on a massive scale as its philosophical legacy.
Nietzsche the superman ended his days in an insane asylum. How shallow, vain and lacking in perspective are the junior philosophical bastards who sing the praises of Nietzsche's name, and who want to follow his path?
Aren't you describing the essence of the USA?
do something about it bub
You’ve created something special here! Incredibly insightful and informative. I feel Inspired :)
My great uncle 😬
What an odd thing to lie about
The visuals for you videos are TOP TIER
