Stephen Hicks:

Stephen Hicks is amazing. I will say that at the end, as Mr Hicks mentions the real issue is a cultural values battle, which is itself in the realm of irrational, subjective value, in its deepest analysis.

👍🏻 I have listened to his audio book on this multiple times, extremely thought provoking and the best explanation and highlight the current parallels with university based left cancel culture

Nonsense. Nobody denies we all have to live with each other, trade and collaborate. This is not in conflict with recognizing limitations of human nature, namely we are tribal and function best surrounded by people like us, those that speak the same language and share the same calculation values. More, this core of human believes should not be changed forcefully and there is no need for that as humanity is capable of growing organically. Those that believe that human nature can be changed by outside influences including force, trend to be on the “left”, including national socialism.

Zarathustra was a psychopath by any measure of analysis. Thus all of Nietzsche's ideas should be viewed as the ravings of a deranged man, despite the fact that he presented many truths. The conclusions he drew from those truths are mad. Jung was much better, understanding similar truths but also understanding that we are human (and thus social creatures) and should strive to be human, rather than to be each of us the most powerful ape as Nietzsche would have us do. I think some component of the human brain that separates us from silverback gorillas was missing in Nietzsche and he detested those who have it, but Jung understood it.

The interpretation of Nietzsche as an irrationalist is false. He was highly erudite and an outstanding philologist. What he objected to was the religion of reason, "reason at any price" as he put it. He fought against the slander that philosophers and religious fanatics had brought against fundamental instincts such as pride or lust. He was extremely severe to the point of militant in the rigorous pursuit of truth. "The service of truth is the hardest service." No one is more misunderstood or worse read than Nietzsche

Why do you keep feeding us clips when there's so much more to be said?

[groupconviction]

Stephen you haven’t understood Nietzsche!

[JoseBetancourt-xkrc]

I like Hicks but I think he’s better than this book, taking cheap shots at Nietzsche really? You’re better than this Hicks. You’re better than this.

Once the horrific pain and slander of the "6 000 000" disappears
33-45 will be seen in a very different light

I'm the nationalist right. The hyper individualism of of the classical liberal is what gave leftists so much power, in fact, these classical liberals and leftists have far more in common and always join forces in the end against the nationalist right. Their immense hatred for culture, tradition, and heritage is not something that can be tolerated if we want the survival of our nations.
