“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

[trikyy]

The lives and biographies of thinkers are much more intetesting than those of kings and conquerers.

[michaelsmyth]

We should always remember that most of what is considered his best was produced during a time when he was completely supported by others. Any working man should think that through hard.
What could anyone do if they had no 40-60 hours a week to slog through. Look around, trust fund babies living a parasitic life.
Always look at how the man who is telling you how to live your life, lives theirs.

Love the deep dive into his life and thoughts.

[FRDY]

His interpretation of Kant was a revelation.

[petergorshenin]

he was beyond profound, a beacon of logic in our confused social condition, i heard of the name, now closeser to the mind

[gergeharris]

He had a one tracked mind. He enjoyed torturing himself and to what end? 😢 😢 😢

The french postmodern philosphers in the second half of the 20th century resurrected Nietzsche after he was blamed for Nazism due to poor German scholarship in the interwar years. They created some amazing books and Nietzscheanism is very much alive in academic philosophy today because of it.

Some legendary books I'd recommend: "Nietzsche and Philosphy"- Gilles Deleuze, "Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle" - Pierre Klossowki, and "On Nietzsche" - Georges Bataille

You have no idea what kind of treasure I just hooked you up with. Life changing shit

Edgar Cayce said that the soul of Jeshua had been the father and teacher of Zoroaster in another incarnation. IMHO Nietzsche was guilty of many of the same problems he accused others of having. Playing God is a losing game.

This was quite good. Thank you. I've always been curious about Nietzsche but not enough to actually read him. I've heard how the nazis misused and twisted his philosophy and I've heard that he was an intellectual monster. After your biography here I think he was a brilliant egotist anti-christian. A hateful man really. Perhaps even a psychopath. I'm glad I never wasted my time trying to read his works.

People’s Profiles You asked what do I think of Frederick Nietzsche? Well I think the reason Nietzsche was an atheist is because he may have had a lot of problems growing up. Because it would be very hard I’m sure to be the son of a Lutheran priest. All I’m trying to say is I don’t think Nietzsche was a bad guy. I just think he was very misunderstood.

Often unjustly labelled 'the father of Nazism', by some who did not share a similarly cultural philosophic bent of:

Frederich Nietzsche, (15th of October1844-25th August of1900);

Who, is accredited with the quote:

"And those who were seen dancing, were thought to be insane, by those who could not hear the music!"

[CynthiaSchoenbauer]

He was extraordinary. He thinks a lot like me! Thank you for this documentary. I plan to use ideas like his to change education's approach to learning.

The only thing about thinking and ideas, is that if they are not put into action, they are impotent. And, that action usually means violence and much of it to achieve the success of the thinking/idea; or the alleviation of the tyranny that's preventing it.

[kinsin]

As a young man his argument with a teacher gained him much notoriety on his stance that only the written word can convey the truth and not just the voice of a human being, especially in religion, where you have the written Bible compared to religious leaders who try and sway their interpretation. Once a frustrated religious leader scolded the young man and asked him to supply his argument with another example besides religion, he respectfully responded " I would sir but I have not the time for I have to help my Uncle jack off a horse", Half the crowd we're not phased by this response, the other half just stood there with their mouths hanging open😮

[historyjunkie]

This video and summation of Nietzscals' philosophical journey is absolutely enthralling 😍
I will be devouring everything, Nietzschal. I can find! Ty!

[psychesoap]

@PeopleProfiles Great spot on Schopenhauer. He is considered a realist to me. I will now await a philosopher's 3-hour block featuring him and Nietzsche...perhaps Goethe.

[charles]

All this supposed enlightening upchucks seems to culminate in impotent b.s.
