    For a long time I pictured Nietzsche writing his words down with a bit of a smirk on his face. But lately I see him writing in the dark with tears in his eyes and punching the wall.

      I get that. Jung is a great example of Unifying those seemingly antithetical views. It's the wholehearted acceptance of reality AKA Beyond Good and Evil. Perhaps Nietzsche did this but ultimately succumbed to the limitations of the flesh i.e. disease, cognitive processing capability, and death? That sounds rather humanesque to me. We're all essentially varying degrees of human, but our base ingredient is always human. I like Nietzsche for his openness and honesty about his views. Anyone who seeks to discard a mask has already accepted that they may have one on. Nietzsche is as naked as a newborn baby in this respect. Bare and full of emptiness. He was a man who was just as honest with himself as he was with others, if not more so.

      I could picture him doing both. Bipolar style. Or paradoxically like the title of the new Billie Eilish album ‘Hit me softly and hard’. Maybe Billie has been reading some Nietzsche.

      If anyone was wondering, Nietzsche did experiment with a typewriter in the early 1880's when his eyesight was rapidly declining. He is said to have been quite excited about the technology but ultimately he ended up relying more on dictation in his last productive years.

      The assumption that YOU are one of the great belies the fact you are using this as a hammer, without proof, on others that disagree with you. Like the millions that live by internet memes. A snob so to speak.

    Which cultures lacked enough leisure for philosophy?
    Ironcially the ones who coined the phrases about idleness.
    Hunter gatherers had time, the Roman Republic had plenty of time, the Mongols had time, the Norse people had time…
    It’s the people groups who were told to keep their nose to the grindstone that haven’t been allowed that time.

    This is exactly why Nietzsche called Dostoevsky a psychologist. Dostoevsky tried to see his opposition as they truly are and not what he wanted to see, which is very similar to Nietzsche
    Edit: I was adding to the discussion by saying here is a positive example by Nietzsche, but of course you have already said it in the video, as I later saw it.😂

    I'm not sure Nietzsche recognized the difference between psychology and philosophy. While in Nietzsche's day any dilettante could "do" psychology, psychologists in general perform experiments and/or provide therapy. Philosophers don't. And, philosophy is definitely a vice -- and a nasty one at that. However, this does add weight to the theory that Freud and Jung got their psychology from Nietzsche.

      I think it is not completely justifiable to posit that philosophy in all of its multi-faceted branches does NOT offer therapeutic affects.

    A bit less well defined than other episodes, but excellent try. Specially midway the generalist versus individualist cases.
    I am not saying I know ANYONE that cold have done better; it is ONE of the many topics that are hard to expose, this psychology issue, even if in your mind or "instinctively" you know it. This very aspect of it makes it also one though which many charlatans come and fit in, i.e, Jordan Peterson, the Mind Valley guy, and Deepak Chopra.
