but tyler durden is a nhilist?

This is a beautiful video with great editing. Any tips on how I could make something similar (software, organizing thoughts, etc)? I would love to make videos explaining Nietzschean takes on media and current events just like this video! All I have done the last ten years is grow weed and study philosophy/history/poetry/religion so I've got loads of data to pull ideas from. Do you write everything out first then make the video or does everything happen simultaneously?

Thanks bob

That is perfectly shown in divorce too. The woman divorced the man and uses the government’s force to take his money in the form of alimony, or even to give her welfare paid for by taxes. (Child support too, but that’s supposed to be different) She went from taking his money, to taking his money.

@@orppranator5230 dude please stop the red pill shit, women aren't desperate to stealing their partner's money

@@dean1111 Marriage statistics say otherwise. Half of all marriages end in divorce, 80% of divorces are initially filed by women. 96% of all alimony is paid by men, and women get custody 90% of the time. It is not all women, but the women who happen to divorce their husbands are greedy and use government force to take money from their husbands- money they are no longer doing anything to deserve access to- they are no longer loving their husbands, not supporting them nor comforting them. Thankfully, that of course means that a significant portion of marriages continue on, with the husband supporting their wife like a real man and the wife supporting their husband like a real woman. That is not “red pill” stuff, that is the truth.

Correct.

It is not a critique, it is an interpretation, and a fascinating one at that.

What did you do to start finding it?

​@@jimmysmith736 Hey man! Thanks for reaching out and asking! One of the most important things to identify are the self judgements. Often, they can be recognized when you become attuned with certain negative feelings, such as guilt or insecurity. For me, these two emotions have pointed me in the direction of my freedom more than most other emotions. They have served to keep me trapped in the image I have been conditioned to express, but not who I am determined to be. In this way, they have felt as impassable barriers, confining me in a prison of fear. Self acceptance is the ultimate measurement and this is how I have measured how afraid I am of being myself, becoming more unashamed, and proud (even of the "negative" aspects). It is in relationship with others that I begin to know myself. Simply put, if I find myself afraid to tell someone the truth of who I am then I have not accepted who I am. So you must pay close attention to any unconscious lying or manipulation of reality. Any time I have an urge to bend my words or behaviors, intending to control what another person may think of me, then I have not expressed who I truly am. I have suppressed a part of me I am afraid will be unloved and rejected if shown to the other person. It ultimately ALWAYS returns to how much you are rejecting yourself. The order of acceptance will always be illustrated by accepting something in you and THEN sharing that with the world. If you have not accepted something in you then you will not show it and you will be controlled by the fear of rejection of others. Think about what situations you are most afraid of. Find out the answer as to why those bring you so much fear or anxiety. Do not judge them or wish to be different or for them to be gone. Accept that you are afraid of them and allow the feeling of fear to be there. Overtime, you may notice a link between the fears you have now, and certain things that have hurt you in the past. Replay those painful memories and ask yourself, "what did I want that memory to look like?" or "what is it that I needed to happen that didn't happen?" If you needed your mom to believe you when she didn't or you needed your dad to tell you he loved you or he is proud of you, then find the voice inside of you that can offer you what they could not offer you in the past. There is a voice inside of you. There is nothing you can do that will make this voice love you any less. When you find that voice you can talk with it and it will heal you. It will reveal who you are and help you to accept yourself. I talk to this voice everyday now. I believe some people call it God some the unconscious mind. On the outside it appears that I am talking to myself, which admittedly I am, but in my experience when I ask myself questions or reveal certain things I am ashamed of, I do not know what the response will be. The love I feel has sometimes made me cry, I have let go of lots of self hatred, and I have become more honest with others in my life because of this voice. The best things to talk about are the things that come to mind when you sit still. Often those are memories that you have not processed and are avoiding to think about. If they are about the past or future then accept them when they arrive in your mind, accept the feelings as they fill your body. When I engage with the dialogue with myself or God or whatever it is that responds back to me, it feels extremely weird, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable. I often feel embarrassed imagining someone watching me talk out loud to myself, but I do it anyways. That itself is a practice in not caring what others think about me. I do it a lot now, I go backpacking often now and use that time to leave my phone off and talk to myself and discover who I am, to love myself and learn my true desires. I know I just shared a lot with you. If you have any questions or I was not direct enough with giving you help let me know. Life is hard. I have often felt overwhelmed and ill prepared and like others are doing it so much better than me. But the greatest pressures have come from within me, and that is good news because I can choose to let them go when I become aware of them. Don't be afraid to look inside, inside is the greatest darkness and the brightest light. "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung

Along with those who can't spell

Tyler was the higher man. The higher man is defined by its existence in justified struggle. What makes him the higher man is the struggle itself and the acceptance of eternal recurrence. The act of declaring no one to be perfect is the rejection of the theistic solutions and the acceptance of an end within the sense of completion. Man kind is nothing within the sense that in the time of the higher man, man is nothing and must strive to be something. To understand the whole thought of not being unique you have to understand what Nietzsche wanted the aristocrat to be which can boil down into two possible explanations for fight club. They are trying to be the aristocrats. The ideal aristocrat is defined by self solitude and the utilization of all things as a means to an end. Since all exists as means to an end to the aristocrat the progress made and actions accomplished mean nothing to the Aristocrat and that which does mean something is thier own ability to achieve itself. In this sense the members of project mayham do not matter and are only defined through the completion of the project itself. The second form is that they are not the aristocrats but the nescessary sacrifice to bring about the aristocracy. All actions to further goals of the aristocracy are both nescessary and justified thus they mean nothing except thier own sacrifice. To flesh out the theism portion. The construction of religion was used to justify our stationary and meaningless life styles according to Nietzsche. We gained value as special and thus valuable individuals in the concept of God caring. In the time of the overman religion is dead and our anxiety to find value comes again. This talk is the rejection of an end and the acceptance of simply being which is eternal recurrence. When Tyler destroys his delusions he himself accepts the recurrence. The goals of project mayham sought to destroy mediocrity when to become overman you must accept that mediocrity is apart of the cycle. The struggle is continuous and one must gain solace in that fact. When he kills himself, if staying true to Nietzsche, he is accepting the struggle again. Chuck Palahniuks intentions for fight club were always about self empowerment and strictly not nihilism. He even says "I have been called a nihilist, but I would describe myself as a romantic. I’m always looking for narratives that bring people together. I like my books to have a wedding at the end, rather than a death." The death is the wedding its a union of Tyler with the reality of his struggles. His greatest form of empowerment was the acceptance that he must struggle and that he cannot change the way the world is. He talks about the brutality of reality a lot but also talks about what you can cultivate from it. Edit: I just wanted to say that I only replied because I really enjoy Nietzsche and Fight club and thought that I could maybe help you out by clearing some stuff up which I myself have thought a lot about. My intention isn't to argue but to help you with the same questions I had. I hope I actually did help you and didn't just piss you off lmao.

you bring up some interesting points here that i was also contemplating during the video. my understanding of the ubermensch isn't that he is special or unique & THAT IS why he became the ubermensch, rather thag they become an ubermensch by creating change in the world & their lives, sometimes even by force. i think that in understanding that you are not a snowflake, that you aren't special or have a grander purpose in life that you can then gain the liberty to create your own meaning & purpose.

It's about spontaneous neurotic irruption of aspects of the unconscious resulting from the repression demanded by the modern world. The whole film is him integrating his shadow aspects, of which Durden is only one component. Marla is also a manifestation of it, specifically, the Anima.

The ironic thing is women have gotten exactly what they asked for which is a softer, more ‘civilized’ man and they are more pissed off than ever. Real women, women who have embraced their femininity know they want their men to be masculine.

@@aboutdoorsman4695 Are you sure? In the first place, if that's what a woman wanted, how did they get it? Then the reason that men became more civilized and softer is more likely because it is what benefits the capitalist system the most. Don't blame women every chance you get. I do not know if we put the label of enemy in the things that are more different from us, but in reality we should unite and fight against the people of power that this system benefits, because at the end of the day regardless of gender, we all get affected

@@larux6124 the "people of power" and "system" that you want to topple, exists purely because weak men and women demanded safety and welfare from the state, which inevitably expands government power and overreach. That's why small government and individual responsibility is the logical option. Those capitalists who own businesses are just people who aren't lazy unmotivated slaves who managed to go beyond the nihilistic consumerism that most of us suffer from, and actually started producing rather than consuming product. When a society favors individual responsibility and dangerous freedom; patriarchy becomes duty, at the gleeful behest of women and there is nothing wrong with that. You don't want to admit that women are largely miserable, since being introduced into the workforce and the systematic wussification of men. Men are also miserable. Stop creating the system that you dislike, by consuming and abdicating your freedoms for security. Start producing and embrace responsibility.

@@origamifox5180 Communism and Socialism are far worse.

@@origamifox5180 true capitalism, as in not the corporatist cronyism that exists today where monopolies are formed by big companies buying politicians to stifle competition, is not that. True capitalism encourages competition and righteous struggle for both the merchants, consumers and workers because it forces everyone to reach their highest potential in order to best each other in non-violent war through trade and artistry. Making it far more sustainable and productive than the extremist alternatives for the pursuit of righteous struggle such as fascism. Which is a garbage ideology but for reasons I won't get into. Like outlined in the video, what has caused this decadent emasculated society is the feverish pursuit of "egalitarianism" that started as a result of the decline of traditional christian values through the enlightenment and it's lies. Ideologies like socialism are the apex of this materialistic and misguided moral framework as they see the false dream of utopianism that guides this pursuit of equality irrespective of truth as an absolute moral good, despite it having a bloodier track record in one century than almost all religious conflicts throughout history combined. What is wrong with modern day capitalism is not the fundamental idea of capitalism in itself, but the extensive political corruption of that idea by the degradation of the cultural fabric surrounding the market.

Interesting angle. That certainly underlines the importance of hierarchies, since most people are not suited to be leaders.

very good point

Read the book 'The Way Of Men'. Men form gangs to 'protect each other while they sleep'. Men can only be loners in a safe environment. The narrator says men need conflict and men can't be a loners in an unsafe world. They are not slaves but follow an alpha male to keep them safe. Men take what they want. Being a man and being a good man are different.

@@TheSkinnybiker Interesting. I think you're definately correct about men not necessarily being slaves to an alpha male that they follow. I would also note that in Fight Club the narrator's followers have gotten to the point where they shout the "first rule of project Mayhem" whenever someone asks about it, so maybe the movie is a bit of an exageration.

So leaders are free while everyone else is a slave, how do you even come to that conclusion? Leaders have more power which does give them more freedom than the average person but that's about it, those"slaves" could still make their choices for themselves even if it will mean disobedience to the "master". In the end no one is truly free, we're all slaves to something, leaders are only humans in the end and humans were never meant to be truly free
