I find it hilarious that Bertrand Russell (an actual aristocrat who benefited his whole life from centuries of privilege) objects to Nietzsche’s aristocratic view of the world.
Brian Leiter is like Jasper's in the respects that he doesn't recognize that the interpretation is his own and who avowedly repudiates Walter Kaufmann's interpretation insofar as it's stronger.
Our most fundamental values are in our DNA, all primates have them to a certain degree. Lesser important values such as the woke phenomena is purely cultural. Nice conversation though.
Brian Leiter grew up in New York, where it is very common to pronounce it that way, especially for the people who grew up in the 1970s. I'm from Long Island and everyone of that generation there says idear.
Brian Leiter preceding a lecture about Nietzsche just couldn't help himself, he just had to start by proclaiming George Bush a murderer. He lost all credibility at that moment!
Professor Leiter wrote many insightful books on Nietzsche which I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
Thanks

Very good.
The fact that Nietzsche saw much of himself in Spinoza suggests that Nietzsche was spiritual in a Pantheistic sense.
Übermensch in Nietzsche’s world is someone who overcomes himself.

Why do you pronounce idea idear?
