'The Will to Power its not Greed, Its Growth.' - wow

[fluxpistol]

Can’t get enough. Listen to this almost every day, it’s everything I say. It’s so life confirming

[mjb]

"consciousness does not cause actions, it merely accompanies them." This man was so far ahead of his time. Even now who is talking about free will and determinism being a false dichotomy?

[desseldrayce]

One of the first videos I've found that does justice to Nietzsche's doctrines and demonstrates a good comprehension of his actual beliefs.

"The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly."

You have a talent for setting a clear and lucid explanation of a philosophy to music and using imagery to set a mood. There mite be a market for these type of videos.

I wish Schopenhauer could have read Nietzsche.

[hardcoredoom]

This is some dangerous thinking, but I can’t deny the truth in it. I agree more with Aristotle on this subject: that happiness is the point of everything, seeing as an individual will give up anything to attain happiness, yet once having acquired happiness, an individual will take nothing in exchange for that happiness—not even power, unless they believe they might gain yet more happiness from this power. Even power is useless without fulfillment and joy. Power is only a means to happiness; happiness is king, not power.

this may be one of Nietzsche's most important and significant ideas, which makes this video very important. thanks much for sharing!

43 people have been overcome by another's will to power

Thank you so much for this video. I started reading "Beyond Good and Evil", and Nietzsche writes in such an interesting way, it is actually a page turner. But I had trouble understanding exactly what he was saying. I found myself able to recall a lot of the ideas you brought up, so you put everything into beautiful context for me. Thank you.

i downloaded this as mp3 i listen to it going to school loving every second of it
do more man
all the best

[stevena]

Man, I’m reading this book right now and I feel honoured to have the opportunity to know what Nietzche identified. It’s truths are so deep in my thoughts that it’s genuinely physically satisfying to realize them.

Love the videos on Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Right now I'm reading Zarathustra...and I'm moved by the metamorphosis chapter of man bearing the burden like unto a Camel who carries his burden alone, and thru suffering he becomes a lion which slays the dragon of old ideals. And then is reborn into a child.
Good stuff, carry on my good sir...

[leciabreen]

You are one hell of a talent. BRAVO. I LOVED THIS CLEAR, ACCURATE presentation. Thank you.

I listen to this on a daily basis as an affirmation of my nature

[unfoedonnie]

I watch YOUTUBE literally like 20 hours a week and this is among or perhaps my favorite video all-time.

[Rookycastle]

your voice emanates the wisdom of nietzche, i feel the power

[brucearnold]

Sounds like David Bowie is teaching Nietzsche!

"Being prudent employs consciousness but one is still determined by the will which seeks power"
