[flipsvaldes]

It really is amazing to me that he was able to see what is happening with our society at present, his deductions are spot on, the first few chapters clearly illustrate the present atmosphere quite accurately.

[DonCarlosHormozi]

Happily surprised at how coherent this came out considering that it was put together from notes, postmortem, by Nietzsche’s sister. Critique of Christianity was masterful. Haven’t finished this volume yet, but looking forward to finishing it as well as volume two. Thanks for posting.

[MrAMDU]

Can you please turn on closed captions for those of us who like to read along as we listen?

[ronaldduanecochran]

I finally found my own "Niche" ?

[Acesahn]

This full book is a pain to try and find online... with the captions I can just read along which is close to what I wanted.

1:09:35. Too weak to even shit.
Classy Fred, and on point.
(On decadence)

[tommytllefsen]

You have my gratitude. . . . Idea: What if programmers got together, crowd-sourced and made a super cool platform wherupon they'd work to create a tasteful library of meticulously optimized TTS audiobooks ; I'd support that. Shout out to user 'Sceptical Waves'

[renanczOFFICIAL]

Thanks for the support for the future and all the Possibilities of support for the future updates to help us and be more happy with the things. tap Tap the best thing about the way you move in these things in eternal Returns to constructive and after destructive point of view of life and Will to Power and Freedom

[siyaindagulag.]

203...4:04:40 -.4:06:55. Too kind toward such impudent moralistic hubris.
Jewish OR Christian. Still ; he achieves a degree of moral objectivity with this statement.
A leveller toward the larger. The higher . The greater.
A characteristic of his style of writing.

[hews]

will to power is a being looking for the best conditions to be the best being

[JuroJakovljevic]

Finally the truth was put in words and the thrue facts about how the world was manipulated and brainwashed. Only now it is impossible for those to see it, they will fight the truth, how great skill it is, such a product to sell and they gladly recive it only a promise, even if meant doing atrocities, i their mind, they repent and everything is "forgiven". According to priests... just bought every book :)

[animeprofiles]

Really need some proper time stamps of the whole recording, guess I will be doing it

[christinemartin]

I have never read the works of any philosopher who wanted so much to be the iconoclast he so admires--and was nowhere near that ubermensch. Nietzsche: a syphilitic (literally) mama's (and sister's) boy who worked a few short years, never married or had children, spent most of his life in the provinces, and wrote over and over about the type of Napoleon he would NEVER be. Hypocrisy runs rampant under all that bluster.

[PhoenixTide]

Nietzsche got it wrong? Maybe the procurers of this work misunderstood his notes.
A insurmountable fact is: good cannot exist without evil nor evil without good. Therefore the idea that nihilism being the at the heart of morals may be true no more than the opposite being at the heart of the immoral.

It is hardly accurate to say that nihilism is the result of morality or dare you say Christianity. Nihilism is why The word exists not the other way around.

[fufu]

Supposedly not really made by Nietzche, but put together by his sister.

[JohnSmith-xqcv]

What AI audiobook service was used here?

[isaacroberts]

Who translated this? Who is responsible for all the words Nietzsche did not himself write?

[harrykrebs]

Isn't the belief that there is no truth an absolute truth?
