Not certain about much but I know there’s more to it than that… and orange is my favourite colour.

I disagree, he definitely condamned metaphysics as the fantasy of suffering people trying to escape this world. He calls it afterworlds, or backworlds, and there's a chapter about it in Zarathustra. ...

I felt he just didn’t care for a metaphysics and that the search for one was a futile effort… maybe a worthwhile endeavor for the suffering :) I’m going to stick to my guns about my claim that he was not an atheist on those grounds.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll put Zarathustra back into my bedside bookshelf so it gets a revisit.

I am totally with y’all on the radical self-sovereignty. I truly believe that no matter what we learn growing up we must emerge from our child selves into adults by catalyzing our own morality. Even if some of the behaviours we learn from society and parents growing up, we must escape performativity to be complete humans.

Gotta help the kids brush their teeth so I’ll catch yas latez!!

I think you worded it very well! I'm also not trying to assert Nietzsche was an atheist, in fact probably he was not, but he might have had a spiritual life that stayed outside of any religion too.

Nietzsche and Marx are the two atheists who seem like they sprung out of nowhere, but in fact, they had their intellectual predecessors in the Enlightenment: Rousseau and Sade. The rotten fruit of th...

You have misread Nietzsche (if you have read him at all) if you think him an atheist. He argues that God/s are a constructions but not about the existence of metaphysical beings/realms, at least that I have encountered… but I have also only read a few of his works and… in English at that.

When he pronounced “God is dead” he meant “we killed him” not he does not exist nor that we do not need him.

Nietzsche battles with what that means and tries to map the void that is left and how we might move forward now that it exists…

I’m not sure why people blame philosophers for playing with ideas… Neitzsche diagnosed the problems pretty frikin well if you ask me… and maybe he gets so much grief because he described so well what would happen with the death of God.

🎯 well said. Neitzshe predicted the rise of Marxism as a result of western culture moving away from god and using inferior substitute.

Nietzsche is often called a nihilist but only by those that haven't looked at his stuff properly and just parrot what others say.

What is a coronavirus-style pandemic?

An “in name only” pandemic?
A “monumental fuck up knee jerk overreaction” pandemic?
A “whoops killed more people with mitigations than the virus” pandemic?

I love edgy Korean TV 🤣🤣 They chose a petite girl with a strong jawline to play an effeminate boy who comes out as trans, gets the surgery and then passes 🤣🤣
