Thank you for that. I think Nietzche got it quite right. We're a lot of "Last Men". 😢😮

Good stuff, fellas. Bear in mind:

We're talking about a guy way ahead of his time trying to address atheistic nihilism in a way that spoke to mankind as a whole. It's a tall order.

And Nietzsche the man was actually a good natured guy as I understand it. I think if he had gotten laid, maybe had a few kids, he would of been less of a nihilistic atheist himself. Which is why it's VITALLY important for anyone reading Nietzsche to follow it with Carl Jung, NOT Camus or Foucault. Nietzsche is a black pill, hard to swallow, but will both burn and cleanse your stomach. Jung is like your first solid meal after being sick a while.

Nevertheless, Nietzsche was the man.

When you discover that Hebrew Cosmology is true then it makes sense why he said God is dead. Indeed God is alive and Earth is flat.

Nietzsche's works will still be read and discussed long after Rand's writings have fallen into obscurity. After all, there never has been anything like a Friedrich Nietzsche Institute, funded by wealthy Nietzsche obsessives, to keep Nietzsche's books in print and make young people read them.

Since neither one of you is a genius or insane, maybe you should stop the chatter.
