just read one book and you will go into the abyss do not worry there will be one to guide you through who is known as Nietzsche and once you come back from that abyss you will meet a new man, an enlightened man.

Then you will have a better understanding. there are book that are recommended to read before Nietzsche for me I had read Kant in detail before reading Nietzsche, and when I started reading Nietzsche and some unfamiliar names popped up, I left reading Nietzsche to read that person's main work first. so that is also a way but not recommended.

This is a brief but excellent introduction to the life & thought of Friedrich Nietzsche; some of your images are superb. You should now extend this video with references to Schopenhauer, Darwin, & Wagner...as well as by including his ideas on the master/slave morality, the will to power, & the eternal recurrence of this same universe.

Yeah, some reference to sources would be nice to qualify what is being purported. Why would Nietzsche emphasize collective goals for his followers if the point is to have those followers evaluate their own values? Still a good video, but I also am not convinced of that part.
@@robertscott3732They didn't ask how you can have collective goals, rather that he is not buying, and I'm not either, that Nietzsche wanted his followers to pursue collective goals, as such.
@arturzathas499 Now I go alone, my disciples, You too, go now alone. Thus I want it. Go away from me and resist Zarathustra! And even better: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he deceived you… One pays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. And why do you not want to pluck at my wreath? You revere me; but what if your reverence tumbles one day? Beware lest a statue slay you. You say that you believe in Zarathustra? But what matters Zarathustra? You are my believers - but what matter all believers? You had not yet sought yourselves; and you found me. Thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. Now I bid you to lose me and find yourselves; and only then when you have all denied me will I return to you. Maybe collective in the sense that we are all going our own way but do not think that we are a movement or an ideology or a common force. The ubermench will come from us finding our own path.
When I see comments like that I always wonder how delusional the guy writing them must or could be. I ask myself these questions: Has the guy (you) even read some of the work that Nietzsche wrote? I mean - literally - have you even read just some? Have you even read *one* of his works by yourself? Because he has 13 main works! The next thing which comes to my mind is your profile picture - a minecraft image. Sure, that must display a very sophisticated interest in philosophy as you judge that "this video is the best one so far I have seen on Nietzsche"...
@@zjaeger1800 I used to have a minecraft channel so that is why I am using it. I still play every winter just for nostalgia and to reconnect with my friends from high school. I currently study engineering but have always had a high interest for physics, math and philosophy. Altough you are correct in that I havent read any books of him. Altough I have thus spoke Zarathustra which I bought 6 months ago but havent started reading it yet. I have watched several lectures on Fredrich Nietzsche both by different philosophy channels and also by Jordan Peterson. I read philosophical quotes every day on facebook and instagram and try to understand them and think about them and apply them to my own life. I think this video was very good for it was short and concise and informative and shed light on some core element of Nietzsche which few others have taken up in their video. Also trust me there are some extreemly bad videos on Nietzsche that I have watched and compared to that this video is a master piece. However you might be right because the reason why I liked this video so much is because it resonates deeply with my endeavours and goals in life, and of how I am to reach them. It doesnt need to be the correct way, and I am biased because that is how I want to live. However I know few people are spending time alone and thinking, and we need all kinds of people in the world and few have taken a similar path to that of Nietzsche so maybe it is me that should just take this path not only because I want, but because no one esle wants. To end this off I want to quote Nietzsche: “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” I have listened to you, now it is your turn to try to listen and understand me. After having done so you can stick to your idea of me or with my idea of me. Either way you will be more solid in your stance after having explored a person who thinks differently from you.
I just can't get over the fact that nothing matters our world will end 100% surely and we will be forgotten in the dust of the universe...money makes us happy women make us happy ..but all of it will end ..maybe thats the reak beauty
Imagine quoting something as short as an aphorism and still editing out the second part - which is the most arrogant part of Nietzsche's statement: "what others do NOT say in an entire book".
The reaction from Mr Poor-dan Jeterson is a big give away off hiss level of awareness, and intelligence, Nietzsche is 100% right correct and speaks the truth. Funny and truthfull enough there is more truth and sow wisdom spoken by phylophers in comparisson to Psychologists/scientists
Nice Summary of Nietzsche's life and work. Thank you. Except the title. 1) He was not misunderstood. 2) He didn't solve "everything" 3) Many of his philosophical life rules are not that new. I mean, it's very close to Stoicism.
If you are going to leave the crowded, well trod road and take a different path, then you have to know what this world is like and how to protect yourself.
I clicked on this bc I loved the title of the video... but then almost immediately, he uses the cartoon superman to say that is wha tNietzsche meant for the overrman, that is definitely what he did NOT mean when he said "Man is something to overcome, a bridge..."
@@jurassicthunder Hah! He'd have to learn to write a sentence first! But you remind me. A half page in _The Gay Science_ contains all the good parts of _Manufacturing Consent._ I was relieved when I found this out.

When you are young, your body is the best it will ever be, and you are like a god. As you age, you lose your youthfulness, and your powers are stripped away. You lose your god-like qualities, and fall further away from the ubermensch state, never to be regained. And death is the great equalizer, as no matter what path you take in life, you always end up at the same destination as everyone else - dead. But even with struggle and heartache, you can choose to live your best life, to walk along the best path that you can muster. And it will be worth it, because you will have raised children to be their best selves, and interacted with others in a way that makes them lead their best lives, and to be a part of that is enough.
Great topic and excellent presentation mate. I only have 1 criticism which is purely constructive if you would take it. I think you should not use Elon Musk and especially Alex Hormozi as examples. Alex Hormozi is a pretty well documented scam artist and Elon Musk is a bit more complicated and controversial of a person. I think Nietzsche would despise both of them with a vengeance if he were around. Just an idea mate, anyways keep up the great work !
Well scam artists and sociopaths are above all morals as a ubermensch should be so I see no reason why they shouldn't be good role models for right wing nutjobs.
@@jaroslavgorokhovsky6609Unlike most other get rich scammers, Alex is more tactical. He repackages business school content and gives it to people for free to give you the impression that he doesn't want your money. This is the part where he reels you in He then funnels you towards the scam where he promises to grow your business for you in exchange for equity. Essentially, some small to medium size business owners end up giving him something between a 5-20% (I'm assuming). He ultimately doesn't add any substantial value for the business because he has no experience. Eventually, most business owners catch on but can't do anything about it because they've not only signed away a small part of their business but also an NDA preventing them from discussing their involvement. Its an incredible scam because he only needs to draw in a few business owners who are foolish enough to give him equity and he's multi-millionaire. He does this all while maintaining a strong public image because he's scamming a very small group of people.
yeah especially when one of the points the video makes is to "set collective goals rather than individual ones" Using two incredibly selfish people isn't really the best option
Im on the fence with Elon Musk, he’s controversial but he is, whatever you think, great, and will be remembered in history, and Tesla at least has greatly benefitted the transition to green energy/cars… but putting Alex Hormozi in the company of such people feels absurd
Wow, Jordan: Nietzsche said, "It is my AMBITION to say in ten sentences...". He strove. I thought Pederson appreciated terse Scripture passages... which is a similar style. And then, to label anyone as "... THE MOST..." of anything, is itself, a very arrogant position for Pederson to take.
I have doubts about accuracy of this video. When did Nietzsche said we have to pursue collective goals? It just doesn't add up with anything he believed in.
"Nietzsche said, 'God is dead, and we are the ones who killed him.' He didn't mean that in a literal sense." Well damn, up until just now I thought for sure that we literally killed God.
Rare to see someone try to help others by explaining Nietzsche. Teaching and the way of thinking despite ,it been warped by his own family and egotistical points of views.
Nietzsche didn't solve everything. The spirit of his philosophy leads to more questions than answers. Nietzsche was a perspectivist and a philosopher of becoming. Everything is flux as Heraclitus who inspired Nietzsches philosophy wrote. Even truth?!
Hey. Grat video as usual. But could you mix the images with the footage as you did before? You have a great way of editing. I guess this new way is easier maybe. But a half/half mix should do. Just a small suggestion. Take it or leave it 😉
I think you do get some of the main points right, but I do notice that some of your viewpoints align with capitalist ideology, which Nietzsche criticizesed (look up Nietzsche on money makers). Also using Peterson in the beginning also kind of undermines the whole video, as Peterson struggles to understand Nietzsche himself.
Great video but why do you put people like alex hormozi and things like money in the same context as nietzsches believes? His believes are much greater than ghese temporary things
i dont think Nietsche wanted people to become millionaires because of their anger, keeping in mind you can do great things for society if you would set your mind to it. Becoming a millionaire should only be because you want to make the world better (my opinion)
Ehh, unfortunately for Nietzche hos philosophy tends to break down in the practical application of it and his philosophy does almost the opposite of what it was intended to, which was liberation. Obviously there were other factors for his insanity but I will always maintain that one of the factors of Nietzche going made was him following his own world view. If you want a more meaningful philosophy that is similar to Nietzche but doesn't involved the self obsession, read Dostevsky.
@aviatordanz no Nietzches philosophy doesnt break down it just tells where you are and where you need to be to achieve freedom. But bc you are coping so hard that instead of acknowledging that you are not free where you are. You just change the meaning of what it means to be free and try to deny the point nietzche made. You could say this a freedom but its simply the freedom to hide.
Neitzche didn't "solve everything". He pointed out the logical conclusion of acccepting Darwinian evolution: nihilism. 'Beyond Good & Evil' is called that because in a purely naturalistic, mechanical universe such as what we see in evolutionary theory, the is no such thing as right or wrong. There is no 'goodwill,' as Kant would say. There is only the will to power.
@@noobzie8963 and that's according to Neitzche, that there is only the will to power. Or, at least, that the will to power is more important than the will to Truth
@@jamespierce5355His point was that fundamentally life’s highest purpose is a will, (a life) force that seeks to express it’s power in the world in all its different forms. A flower growing through the crack of a sidewalk etc… it strives. In nature, we see a hierarchy of life forms and life rewards those with the greatest will along with health & strength. This produces beauty. It’s fine to be a good person. But good people must understand that goodness requires power to do good. It’s not enough to believe you are good if in reality you are just weak.
@@bryanutility9609 to me power implies authority and control, which is incompatible with ultimate truth. I think maybe 'strength' would be a better word. They are similar words, but strength does not carry the same connotation of control in my opinion
"I am a wanderer and a mountain climber, Zarathustra said to his heart. What returns, what finally comes home to me, is my own true self. Alas, I have begun my loneliest walk, but whoever is of my kind cannot escape such an hour, the hour which says to him: Only now are you going your way to greatness. Peak and abyss, they are now joined together, for all things are baptized in The Well of Eternity, and lie beyond Good and Evil."
Nietzsche lacked common experiences that are a basis for much of human society and morality.. of course he was very intelligent and perceptive and his philosophy is very interesting and in many ways enlightening.. however the way he is interpreted leads me to think that he lacked two experiences that are key.. I don't know if he ever really hurt anyone in his life.. I mean hurt them very deeply like breaking the heart of a young girl.. surely he would feel remorse for the pain he caused.. The other experience is that of having children and a family.. this lack of experience surely colors the way that he analyzed life and society.
thats completly true. One of the most wise things to know before reading a philosopher is to realize and to admit that the world the author is producing and judging about is simply his world, build around his experience of life mostly as a (subjective) deduction. Even if some deductions are true objectively, it is always the sum and the point of view that determines how bright the world or life can be. Nietzsche did not seem to have much fullfillment in life in terms of receiving and showing love.
Nietzsche never quite answered "why" we must aspire to be superhuman? If in the end existing is as good as not existing, or at least existing is just a prelude to non-existing, why must anyone do anything at all? Hevel, hevel, vanity of vanities, saith the preacher. Nietzsche's declaration that God is dead is not to be taken in the promethean sense that it is usually interpreted. Rather, God's death is a profound tragedy. Hence why Nietzsche makes a madman declare it. It is not so much that God is dead, but that Europe had, in its hubris, lost the ability to have faith. That too, not all of Europe. Western Europe specifically, which broke away from worldview in which Logos was at the centre of human existence. The rupture with the old world happened in the Protestant rejection of Catholicism and it's intellectual tradition that held Truth, Goodness and Beauty in balance. Modern world is essentially the three solas without God behind it. I am self-sufficient. My own mind is enough. My interpretation is supreme. Nietzsche's philosophy most certainly did not improve the lives of people. Nazis were inspired by his vision. His own sister was an incurable antisemite. For a man who raged against pity, Nietzsche fell victim to his own humanity. Nietzsche collapsed in Turin while trying to protect a horse being flogged. 19th, 20th and 21st century is simply a tragic world. Without Magesterium, there is only the morass of conflicting interpretations.
The true superhuman is a saint, transfigured in the image of Christ. Nietzsche wanted a godless, demonic superhuman who can crush the weak under his heels. That has been tried and it has failed. Read the epic of Gilgamesh. In the end, it is pity that saved him.
The professor and teaching assistant for a Nietzsche course in college said Nietzsche does not give a rigorous philosophical justification for his views. So I have the same question your comment starts with. Given his views that there are not objective truths, it seems like that would be consistent, but doesn’t answer the question. I guess since we have to make decisions (even if it’s to do nothing) attempt to do what we each think is best?
@@lonelycubicle: It is utterly arbitrary though, isn't it? What does "best" stand for in your sentence? What we each think is "best"? Based on what? This is the kind of mushy thinking that passes for philosophy these days. There is no good, better, bad and worst without a cogent canon of values to hang these labels on. We can say I travelled a 1000 kilo meters to get here, but this is compared to a single kilo meter, which is itself measured against meter and so on and so forth. So when you say "best", the question is as compared to what? What is the unit of measurement you're using? Yourself? What are you? You'd have to say, I am human. Now, we'd have to ask: What does it mean to be human? Of course, for this we must start with the question of the ideal man, which cannot be answered without accounting for the moral reality of man. We can only quantify and grade quality with a standard, like say 24 karat gold. The ideal man is Christ, saith this Catholic.
@@Ordinary_Catholic If the world’s best philosophers/thinkers [add whatever groups of people should be included] can not agree on what is the best way to live a life, people have to make decisions and what is left except for each person to attempt to live their life as best they can? That’s all I meant by ‘best’. My main point about Nietzsche is that since he says, “… facts is precisely what there is not, only interpretations” (WP § 481)”, why follow his interpretations/prescriptions?
@@lonelycubicle That is precisely my point. The world's best philosophers cannot agree on anything, let alone morals. That is precisely the value of philosophy. It shows the inadequacy of vacuous ratiocination based on premises that are themselves yet to be demonstrated to be true. Now there are two alternatives. To brute force your way through life, to act as if good and evil does not exist, that objective truth is a lie, and "only interpretations" exist. Or you can go beyond yourself in another way - through faith and revelation. Clearly, you prefer the first. But I have to ask, do you actually live as if there is no objective reality, that there are only interpretations. For me, how we live is the test of our philosophical fidelity. I don't know where you live, but let's say you're a New Yorker and you get mugged and stabbed in a dingy alleyway, would you still hold to your proposition that there are no moral absolutes? And that the man who stabbed and stole your wallet was simply living his "will to power" in the "best way" he can? Let us raise the stakes even further. Let us say it happens to your mother or your sister or daughter, would you still hold on to your proposition? I'm sure you'll say a distinctly, objectively evil act was committed, and I pray to God you never have to come to this point in life. But I have made my point. Men like Nietzsche at long last were never willing to put their money where their mouths are. And those who did wreaked extraordinary destruction upon humanity. And you think the saints of the Catholic Church were some spineless men who dared not go where Nietzsche went? St Augustine had already seen what Nietzsche saw. He even called named the problem: Libido Dominandi, the Lust to Dominate. You only need to read the City of God. Bottom line is this: We as humanity have been there, tried that and now have the t-shirt. Nietzsche is dead. I recommend watch Hitchcock's The Rope, a wonderful movie that takes Nietzschean Will to Power to it's logical conclusion.

Beware lest a statue slay you. You say that you believe in Zarathustra? But what matters Zarathustra? You are my believers - but what matter all believers? You had not yet sought yourselves; and you found me. Thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. Now I bid you to lose me and find yourselves; and only then when you have all denied me will I return to you.
Maybe collective in the sense that we are all going our own way but do not think that we are a movement or an ideology or a common force. The ubermench will come from us finding our own path.
this video was amazing tbh idk why it only has 1.8 k views it deserves more .
Best video I have seen on Nietzsche, amazingly well done!
When I see comments like that I always wonder how delusional the guy writing them must or could be. I ask myself these questions: Has the guy (you) even read some of the work that Nietzsche wrote? I mean - literally - have you even read just some? Have you even read *one* of his works by yourself? Because he has 13 main works! The next thing which comes to my mind is your profile picture - a minecraft image. Sure, that must display a very sophisticated interest in philosophy as you judge that "this video is the best one so far I have seen on Nietzsche"...
@@zjaeger1800 I used to have a minecraft channel so that is why I am using it. I still play every winter just for nostalgia and to reconnect with my friends from high school. I currently study engineering but have always had a high interest for physics, math and philosophy. Altough you are correct in that I havent read any books of him. Altough I have thus spoke Zarathustra which I bought 6 months ago but havent started reading it yet. I have watched several lectures on Fredrich Nietzsche both by different philosophy channels and also by Jordan Peterson. I read philosophical quotes every day on facebook and instagram and try to understand them and think about them and apply them to my own life. I think this video was very good for it was short and concise and informative and shed light on some core element of Nietzsche which few others have taken up in their video. Also trust me there are some extreemly bad videos on Nietzsche that I have watched and compared to that this video is a master piece.
However you might be right because the reason why I liked this video so much is because it resonates deeply with my endeavours and goals in life, and of how I am to reach them. It doesnt need to be the correct way, and I am biased because that is how I want to live. However I know few people are spending time alone and thinking, and we need all kinds of people in the world and few have taken a similar path to that of Nietzsche so maybe it is me that should just take this path not only because I want, but because no one esle wants.
To end this off I want to quote Nietzsche: “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”
I have listened to you, now it is your turn to try to listen and understand me. After having done so you can stick to your idea of me or with my idea of me. Either way you will be more solid in your stance after having explored a person who thinks differently from you.
@@zjaeger1800🤓
Awesome video! Excellent explanation!
so beautifully made! thanks!
What you say about his sister is no longer believed to be accurate. You should look into that and consider updating. Great video, all the same.
"Noooo, don't whip that horse. OMG, that makes me so saaaaaadddddddd. [mental breakdown]" -Nietzsche
I just can't get over the fact that nothing matters our world will end 100% surely and we will be forgotten in the dust of the universe...money makes us happy women make us happy ..but all of it will end ..maybe thats the reak beauty
Thank you, I needed this, and subscribed!
love the artwork
Thank you
My favorite philosopher that saved my life.
we live in a sick society, they want you to be average human, if you go for superhuman they call you narcissist
Truly the goat
Is the background illustrations from Midjourney or your own work? It's pretty good stuff!
He makes his own art or hires artists for all of his videos.
Some of it looks AI generated. One of the pictures had hands with extra fingers, which is a typical characteristic of AI art.
Imagine quoting something as short as an aphorism and still editing out the second part - which is the most arrogant part of Nietzsche's statement: "what others do NOT say in an entire book".
The reaction from Mr Poor-dan Jeterson is a big give away off hiss level of awareness, and intelligence, Nietzsche is 100% right correct and speaks the truth. Funny and truthfull enough there is more truth and sow wisdom spoken by phylophers in comparisson to Psychologists/scientists
Elijah Oxford, nice work sir and keep up the awakening! Kindly regards 369
Nice Summary of Nietzsche's life and work. Thank you. Except the title. 1) He was not misunderstood. 2) He didn't solve "everything" 3) Many of his philosophical life rules are not that new. I mean, it's very close to Stoicism.
If you are going to leave the crowded, well trod road and take a different path, then you have to know what this world is like and how to protect yourself.
A man's philosophy is his own:
It will never fit anyone so well as himself;
and, even then, it will begin to pinch.
very good video!
I clicked on this bc I loved the title of the video... but then almost immediately, he uses the cartoon superman to say that is wha tNietzsche meant for the overrman, that is definitely what he did NOT mean when he said "Man is something to overcome, a bridge..."
Where does the artwork come from? Stunning
Nietasche was quite right that he could write in a sentence what others would take a book to write.
something that Jordan Peterson wishes to do but can't
@@jurassicthunder Hah! He'd have to learn to write a sentence first!
But you remind me. A half page in _The Gay Science_ contains all the good parts of _Manufacturing Consent._ I was relieved when I found this out. Chomsky's linguistics and academic ethics were so terrible I don't like to quote him if I can avoid it.
Hey I already started thinking like this I had my questions
great essay
When you are young, your body is the best it will ever be, and you are like a god. As you age, you lose your youthfulness, and your powers are stripped away. You lose your god-like qualities, and fall further away from the ubermensch state, never to be regained. And death is the great equalizer, as no matter what path you take in life, you always end up at the same destination as everyone else - dead. But even with struggle and heartache, you can choose to live your best life, to walk along the best path that you can muster. And it will be worth it, because you will have raised children to be their best selves, and interacted with others in a way that makes them lead their best lives, and to be a part of that is enough.
Peterson misquoting nietzsche is ironic considering how much he looks up to him.
Perfect...thank you
I'm quite enjoying this but the fingers keep bothering me. Please use 5 finger input when generating in mj
This is really good, how are you doing the graphics? Some can make great wall papers
Most Understood ! His Time Is Not come Yet He Was 26th century In the 8th century
You are partly right, but I think that person was Emerson.
Good stuff!
Reading the quotes might mistaken me into a philosopher sometimes.
Rude of me unable to remember some great names in a journey. 😅
I'm a nonachiever and I am happy this way.
Great video. May I ask how are you creating art for your videos?
This is AI.
Quoting Jordan was a bad start
Great topic and excellent presentation mate. I only have 1 criticism which is purely constructive if you would take it. I think you should not use Elon Musk and especially Alex Hormozi as examples. Alex Hormozi is a pretty well documented scam artist and Elon Musk is a bit more complicated and controversial of a person. I think Nietzsche would despise both of them with a vengeance if he were around. Just an idea mate, anyways keep up the great work !
Well scam artists and sociopaths are above all morals as a ubermensch should be so I see no reason why they shouldn't be good role models for right wing nutjobs.
Can you please elaborate on Alex being a scam artist? I saw a couple of his videos, and something just seems off about him.
@@jaroslavgorokhovsky6609Unlike most other get rich scammers, Alex is more tactical. He repackages business school content and gives it to people for free to give you the impression that he doesn't want your money.
This is the part where he reels you in
He then funnels you towards the scam where he promises to grow your business for you in exchange for equity. Essentially, some small to medium size business owners end up giving him something between a 5-20% (I'm assuming).
He ultimately doesn't add any substantial value for the business because he has no experience. Eventually, most business owners catch on but can't do anything about it because they've not only signed away a small part of their business but also an NDA preventing them from discussing their involvement.
Its an incredible scam because he only needs to draw in a few business owners who are foolish enough to give him equity and he's multi-millionaire. He does this all while maintaining a strong public image because he's scamming a very small group of people.
yeah especially when one of the points the video makes is to "set collective goals rather than individual ones" Using two incredibly selfish people isn't really the best option
Im on the fence with Elon Musk, he’s controversial but he is, whatever you think, great, and will be remembered in history, and Tesla at least has greatly benefitted the transition to green energy/cars… but putting Alex Hormozi in the company of such people feels absurd
Great video.
Wow, Jordan: Nietzsche said, "It is my AMBITION to say in ten sentences...". He strove. I thought Pederson appreciated terse Scripture passages... which is a similar style. And then, to label anyone as "... THE MOST..." of anything, is itself, a very arrogant position for Pederson to take.
Obsessed ❤
Did you draw the illustrations as well? They are nice.
I have doubts about accuracy of this video. When did Nietzsche said we have to pursue collective goals? It just doesn't add up with anything he believed in.
My brother where is the video on masculinity?
Where can i find the idea of not following the master in his books?
Where did you get these pictures they look cool
"Nietzsche said, 'God is dead, and we are the ones who killed him.' He didn't mean that in a literal sense."
Well damn, up until just now I thought for sure that we literally killed God.
Those images are so good what AI did you use?
excellent video, but at 6:48 it must be spelled "bear" not "bare".
Great video. Does anyone know who drew the thumbnail? (Also featured @6:46)
But guess what sticks more, and stays with you a sentence or a book?
Rare to see someone try to help others by explaining Nietzsche. Teaching and the way of thinking despite ,it been warped by his own family and egotistical points of views.
Nietzsche didn't solve everything. The spirit of his philosophy leads to more questions than answers. Nietzsche was a perspectivist and a philosopher of becoming. Everything is flux as
Heraclitus who inspired Nietzsches philosophy wrote. Even truth?!
2 in one day!
One sentence. Nietzsche was a Sigma personality.
Hey. Grat video as usual. But could you mix the images with the footage as you did before? You have a great way of editing. I guess this new way is easier maybe. But a half/half mix should do. Just a small suggestion. Take it or leave it 😉
I think you do get some of the main points right, but I do notice that some of your viewpoints align with capitalist ideology, which Nietzsche criticizesed (look up Nietzsche on money makers).
Also using Peterson in the beginning also kind of undermines the whole video, as Peterson struggles to understand Nietzsche himself.
Great video but why do you put people like alex hormozi and things like money in the same context as nietzsches believes? His believes are much greater than ghese temporary things
First second into the video and I already had to close the page. God I just can't stand Peterson.
What AI created this images? They are great
Nietzsche disaagrees with basically every opinion JP has. I don't know why he keeps bringing him up.
"improve the life of millions" what??
i dont think Nietsche wanted people to become millionaires because of their anger, keeping in mind you can do great things for society if you would set your mind to it. Becoming a millionaire should only be because you want to make the world better (my opinion)
Ehh, unfortunately for Nietzche hos philosophy tends to break down in the practical application of it and his philosophy does almost the opposite of what it was intended to, which was liberation. Obviously there were other factors for his insanity but I will always maintain that one of the factors of Nietzche going made was him following his own world view.
If you want a more meaningful philosophy that is similar to Nietzche but doesn't involved the self obsession, read Dostevsky.
Only beauty can save the world.
@aviatordanz no Nietzches philosophy doesnt break down it just tells where you are and where you need to be to achieve freedom. But bc you are coping so hard that instead of acknowledging that you are not free where you are. You just change the meaning of what it means to be free and try to deny the point nietzche made. You could say this a freedom but its simply the freedom to hide.
Neitzche didn't "solve everything". He pointed out the logical conclusion of acccepting Darwinian evolution: nihilism.
'Beyond Good & Evil' is called that because in a purely naturalistic, mechanical universe such as what we see in evolutionary theory, the is no such thing as right or wrong. There is no 'goodwill,' as Kant would say. There is only the will to power.
Why is there only the will to power?
@noobzie8963 there is another: the will to Truth
@@noobzie8963 and that's according to Neitzche, that there is only the will to power. Or, at least, that the will to power is more important than the will to Truth
@@jamespierce5355His point was that fundamentally life’s highest purpose is a will, (a life) force that seeks to express it’s power in the world in all its different forms. A flower growing through the crack of a sidewalk etc… it strives. In nature, we see a hierarchy of life forms and life rewards those with the greatest will along with health & strength. This produces beauty.
It’s fine to be a good person. But good people must understand that goodness requires power to do good. It’s not enough to believe you are good if in reality you are just weak.
@@bryanutility9609 to me power implies authority and control, which is incompatible with ultimate truth. I think maybe 'strength' would be a better word. They are similar words, but strength does not carry the same connotation of control in my opinion
"I am a wanderer and a mountain climber, Zarathustra said to his heart.
What returns, what finally comes home to me, is my own true self.
Alas, I have begun my loneliest walk, but whoever is of my kind cannot escape such an hour, the hour which says to him:
Only now are you going your way to greatness.
Peak and abyss, they are now joined together, for all things are baptized in The Well of Eternity, and lie beyond Good and Evil."
Very useful knowledge for our generation. Can I help create Indonesian voice over version of each of your video?
Is this all done with AI?
Nietzsche lacked common experiences that are a basis for much of human society and morality.. of course he was very intelligent and perceptive and his philosophy is very interesting and in many ways enlightening.. however the way he is interpreted leads me to think that he lacked two experiences that are key.. I don't know if he ever really hurt anyone in his life.. I mean hurt them very deeply like breaking the heart of a young girl.. surely he would feel remorse for the pain he caused.. The other experience is that of having children and a family.. this lack of experience surely colors the way that he analyzed life and society.
thats completly true. One of the most wise things to know before reading a philosopher is to realize and to admit that the world the author is producing and judging about is simply his world, build around his experience of life mostly as a (subjective) deduction. Even if some deductions are true objectively, it is always the sum and the point of view that determines how bright the world or life can be. Nietzsche did not seem to have much fullfillment in life in terms of receiving and showing love.
Be careful of regarding as a genius a philosopher who ended up insane.
Nietzsche never quite answered "why" we must aspire to be superhuman? If in the end existing is as good as not existing, or at least existing is just a prelude to non-existing, why must anyone do anything at all? Hevel, hevel, vanity of vanities, saith the preacher. Nietzsche's declaration that God is dead is not to be taken in the promethean sense that it is usually interpreted. Rather, God's death is a profound tragedy. Hence why Nietzsche makes a madman declare it. It is not so much that God is dead, but that Europe had, in its hubris, lost the ability to have faith. That too, not all of Europe. Western Europe specifically, which broke away from worldview in which Logos was at the centre of human existence. The rupture with the old world happened in the Protestant rejection of Catholicism and it's intellectual tradition that held Truth, Goodness and Beauty in balance. Modern world is essentially the three solas without God behind it. I am self-sufficient. My own mind is enough. My interpretation is supreme. Nietzsche's philosophy most certainly did not improve the lives of people. Nazis were inspired by his vision. His own sister was an incurable antisemite. For a man who raged against pity, Nietzsche fell victim to his own humanity. Nietzsche collapsed in Turin while trying to protect a horse being flogged. 19th, 20th and 21st century is simply a tragic world. Without Magesterium, there is only the morass of conflicting interpretations.
The true superhuman is a saint, transfigured in the image of Christ. Nietzsche wanted a godless, demonic superhuman who can crush the weak under his heels. That has been tried and it has failed. Read the epic of Gilgamesh. In the end, it is pity that saved him.
The professor and teaching assistant for a Nietzsche course in college said Nietzsche does not give a rigorous philosophical justification for his views. So I have the same question your comment starts with. Given his views that there are not objective truths, it seems like that would be consistent, but doesn’t answer the question. I guess since we have to make decisions (even if it’s to do nothing) attempt to do what we each think is best?
@@lonelycubicle: It is utterly arbitrary though, isn't it? What does "best" stand for in your sentence? What we each think is "best"? Based on what? This is the kind of mushy thinking that passes for philosophy these days. There is no good, better, bad and worst without a cogent canon of values to hang these labels on. We can say I travelled a 1000 kilo meters to get here, but this is compared to a single kilo meter, which is itself measured against meter and so on and so forth. So when you say "best", the question is as compared to what? What is the unit of measurement you're using? Yourself? What are you? You'd have to say, I am human. Now, we'd have to ask: What does it mean to be human? Of course, for this we must start with the question of the ideal man, which cannot be answered without accounting for the moral reality of man. We can only quantify and grade quality with a standard, like say 24 karat gold. The ideal man is Christ, saith this Catholic.
@@Ordinary_Catholic
If the world’s best philosophers/thinkers [add whatever groups of people should be included] can not agree on what is the best way to live a life, people have to make decisions and what is left except for each person to attempt to live their life as best they can? That’s all I meant by ‘best’. My main point about Nietzsche is that since he says, “… facts is precisely what there is not, only interpretations” (WP § 481)”, why follow his interpretations/prescriptions?
@@lonelycubicle That is precisely my point. The world's best philosophers cannot agree on anything, let alone morals. That is precisely the value of philosophy. It shows the inadequacy of vacuous ratiocination based on premises that are themselves yet to be demonstrated to be true. Now there are two alternatives. To brute force your way through life, to act as if good and evil does not exist, that objective truth is a lie, and "only interpretations" exist. Or you can go beyond yourself in another way - through faith and revelation. Clearly, you prefer the first. But I have to ask, do you actually live as if there is no objective reality, that there are only interpretations. For me, how we live is the test of our philosophical fidelity.
I don't know where you live, but let's say you're a New Yorker and you get mugged and stabbed in a dingy alleyway, would you still hold to your proposition that there are no moral absolutes? And that the man who stabbed and stole your wallet was simply living his "will to power" in the "best way" he can? Let us raise the stakes even further. Let us say it happens to your mother or your sister or daughter, would you still hold on to your proposition? I'm sure you'll say a distinctly, objectively evil act was committed, and I pray to God you never have to come to this point in life. But I have made my point.
Men like Nietzsche at long last were never willing to put their money where their mouths are. And those who did wreaked extraordinary destruction upon humanity. And you think the saints of the Catholic Church were some spineless men who dared not go where Nietzsche went? St Augustine had already seen what Nietzsche saw. He even called named the problem: Libido Dominandi, the Lust to Dominate. You only need to read the City of God.
Bottom line is this: We as humanity have been there, tried that and now have the t-shirt. Nietzsche is dead. I recommend watch Hitchcock's The Rope, a wonderful movie that takes Nietzschean Will to Power to it's logical conclusion.
Tbh, the expression how you explain his idea is kinda misleading. but it is inevitable.
So why did he write books?
