To digest and integrate into our mechanic RHIZONE

😅

Beautiful

Ironically I heard and adopted a saying that cought my ear not to long ago..it is ; "I might forget but I never forgive" 😂

So one can continue to get taken advantage of, with a Smile.

I am seeking forgetfulness right now, I forget the NOW is the pathway. I appreciate this series for I feel this is where the lesson lies. The now is the only medicine.

Wrong!

This could be interesting as a smaller video!

Make your own playlist and add this video

@@mat7083 Yeah, except that there are 106 videos! If I could just copy a pre-existing list, it'd be trivial. Anyhow, essentialsalts already added it. @essentialsalts Thanks man!

@@physics1518 Boy, you should see my playlist lol

do you know of Bloodborne? there is a great lesson in that game's story that while one might shed the things that make them human in an attempt at gaining understanding/insight, what one ascends to is not very clear and is likely the cause of great suffering. Tread lightly

@@JMoore-vo7ii I do thread lightly, and I am tired of it, many less aware people go on daily without a care in the world; though the "burden" of higher self awareness or higher consciousness has no reverse, no going back... once you get it, like once you learn something important in life, it is with you all along for the ride. There is, of all people, a futuristic Sylvester Stallone movie where people are in this super advanced civilization and they are all lost or depressed and some guy is taking to a computer therapist and is repeating his daily affirmations, Sandra Bullock is in it too, and maybe Wesley Snipes also... I guess the issues become "purpose" or direction, what is life FOR, and that sort of thing, though reading this I see how you might think I am lost or depressed, I am not, I am just wondering about these issues... I got plenty of goals and "purposes". But the wondering is bc once you achieve a certain level where daily issues of shelter and food etc are well covered for the rest of your life, it seems, then you got a LOT of time, and have to decide where and on what to spend that time. It is telling that it is the so called "educated" or intellectual people or class that deal with this, so called "workers" are just fine with NASCAR football and beer, and as I do not drink or like football (Thanks Nietzsche for that), then conversations are hard in gathering as that is what most talk about, I don't know the names of famous athletes or anything. So you would say find other groups of people, and I did, but the intellectuals attitudes and obnoxiousness were insufferable, I went back to people who have a hard time making ends meet, food scarcity, and always need money!! So here I am, on the net listening to these videos. jeez!! 🤷‍♂😅

@@ggrthemostgodless8713 i can see why you might enjoy Nietzsche Glad to be an ear. I can't say much more than that. Are you grateful? Are you driven? Does anything exist at all in this uncertain world? You probably have as good an idea as anyone else; intellectually or otherwise. Maybe you can find out or die trying 👍

@@JMoore-vo7ii Grateful? yes... Driven? I would have to nuance that, thus: I was "driven" to make a life where all my basic things were taken cared of, Nietzsche says that a lot of morality is based on NEEDS or geographical necessity or circumstances, thus if you alimanate that NEED for basic labor lie gong to work at a factory or having to BE THERE forcefully out of necessity, etc, you have all that time and energy now free to do WHAT EXACTLY?? and that is the wall I found myself dealing with, I was driven to achieve, but also to learn, and as you learn, I found that most things I was interested in, Nietzsche had anticipated it by a mile, and hen some!! The Las Man, the Will to Power, The end of god or religious beliefs, and what comes after what authority what purpose, and all purpose becomes imaginary or subjective at best, one's own purpose, which as I mentioned I have plenty, but I am not delusional as to thing that THOSE are THE purposes of life itself, etc... what to do if you are in this place?? I still do not know, I achieve but mostly I decide and after a certain level the things you own or money you own do all (most?) the work for you. I keep a low level, minimalistic, life, on all fronts. This too was anticipated by Nietzsche. The writing I was planning on doing, they would not be better than Nietzsche's, so why write anything that is going to be worse than what already exists?? that sort of thing. I get up, driven to check on what the investments have done, but not "driven" to do much if they do not, since time will correct whatever has happened in any one day. And that brings me to "purpose", what purpose should one fight for, there are no more real fights once you have all you need. My gf asked me what I WANTED for Christmas or New Years, I said NOTHING, bc I already have all I want or need. I know they sounds depressing but I am not depressed, I am really grateful since I am aware how unusual this is, and these are not real problems at all, I do enjoy life, but that damn PURPOSE, that is what I need, bc I remember back some three decades ago I had nothing really and I got up trying ike everyones else to create wealth and acquire things, now I got rid of most things and the "wealth" is more than enough for me to be ok seemingly for LIFE, and just messing it all up to have something to worry about and HAVE TO get up and try harder seems like a stupid thing to do. I already do SOME good by sponsoring some kids that I chose bc they seem to have potential and brains, not out of pity, but I see actual potential. I got great health, but what should I risk it for?? again, what purpose is it worth risking for?? And so on and so forth, the so called examined life I guess... The carnal pleasures one gets from having several women are old news too, it is indeed vain to pursue it, but when you got enough time in a day you give it a try and see, and all the things the wise men have said about it is true, not really worth it... All the gods and idols, I too have touched with a tuning fork, and most have fallen, and I remain godless, happier than before with false gods but still godless, a thing I also learned from Nietzsche, and not feeling the needs to add idols or gods just to have someone or something to look up to, it is indeed a weird place or state to be in all the time, a kind of contentment but somehow unsettling to the idea of being, not really a Last Man but more like Aristotle who said he walked among men like (in a forest?) walking among trees. ... Thus Zarathustra comes to mind, should I go out up the mountain and think?? Would I get more insights than now?? is it a literal mountain or can it be one I climb here at home alone, same thing if being alone (NOTTTTT lonely by a mile) is the goal... marriage for its own sake is odious to me also, a way of NOT facing yourself in many ways... Have a great 2024... and keep learning. Hopefully all this learning leads to some action. Thanks for your ear.

@@JMoore-vo7ii From Twilight Of The Idols: MORALITY AS THE ENEMY OF NATURE 1 There is a time when all passions are simply fatal in their action, when they wreck their victims with the weight of their folly,-and there is a later period, a very much later period, when they marry with the spirit, when they “spiritualise” themselves. Formerly, owing to the stupidity inherent in passion, men waged war against passion itself: men pledged themselves to annihilate it,-all ancient moral-mongers were unanimous on this point, “il faut tuer les passions.” The most famous formula for this stands in the New Testament, in that Sermon on the Mount, where, let it be said incidentally, things are by no means regarded from a height. It is said there, for instance, with an application to sexuality: “if thy eye offend thee, pluck it out”: fortunately no Christian acts in obedience to this precept. To annihilate the passions and desires, simply on account of their stupidity, and to obviate the unpleasant consequences of their stupidity, seems to us to-day merely an aggravated form of stupidity. We no longer admire those dentists who extract teeth simply in order that they may not ache again. On the other hand, it will be admitted with some reason, that on the soil from which Christianity grew, the idea of [Pg 27] the “spiritualisation of passion” could not possibly have been conceived. The early Church, as everyone knows, certainly did wage war against the “intelligent,” in favour of the “poor in spirit” In these circumstances how could the passions be combated intelligently? The Church combats passion by means of excision of all kinds: its practice, its “remedy,” is castration. It never inquires “how can a desire be spiritualised, beautified, deified?”-In all ages it has laid the weight of discipline in the process of extirpation (the extirpation of sensuality, pride, lust of dominion, lust of property, and revenge).-But to attack the passions at their roots, means attacking life itself at its source: the method of the Church is hostile to life. 2 The same means, castration and extirpation, are instinctively chosen for waging war against a passion, by those who are too weak of will, too degenerate, to impose some sort of moderation upon it; by those natures who, to speak in metaphor (-and without metaphor), need la Trappe, or some kind of ultimatum of war, a gulf set between themselves and a passion. Only degenerates find radical methods indispensable: weakness of will, or more strictly speaking, the inability not to react to a stimulus, is in itself simply another form of degeneracy. Radical and mortal hostility to sensuality, remains a suspicious symptom: it justifies one in being suspicious of the general state of one who goes to such extremes. Moreover, that hostility and hatred reach their height only when such natures no longer possess enough strength of character to adopt the [Pg 28] radical remedy, to renounce their inner “Satan.” Look at the whole history of the priests, the philosophers, and the artists as well: the most poisonous diatribes against the senses have not been said by the impotent, nor by the ascetics; but by those impossible ascetics, by those who found it necessary to be ascetics. 3 The spiritualisation of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity. Another triumph is our spiritualisation of hostility. It consists in the fact that we are beginning to realise very profoundly the value of having enemies: in short that with them we are forced to do and to conclude precisely the reverse of what we previously did and concluded. In all ages the Church wished to annihilate its enemies: we, the immoralists and Antichrists, see our advantage in the survival of the Church. Even in political life, hostility has now become more spiritual,-much more cautious, much more thoughtful, and much more moderate. Almost every party sees its self-preservative interests in preventing the Opposition from going to pieces; and the same applies to politics on a grand scale. A new creation, more particularly, like the new Empire, has more need of enemies than friends: only as a contrast does it begin to feel necessary, only as a contrast does it become necessary. And we behave in precisely the same way to the “inner enemy”: in this quarter too we have spiritualised enmity, in this quarter too we have understood its value. A man is productive only in so far as he is rich in contrasted instincts; he can remain young only on [Pg 29] condition that his soul does not begin to take things easy and to yearn for peace. Nothing has grown more alien to us than that old desire-the “peace of the soul,” which is the aim of Christianity. Nothing could make us less envious than the moral cow and the plump happiness of a clean conscience. The man who has renounced war has renounced a grand life. In many cases, of course, “peace of the soul” is merely a misunderstanding,-it is something very different which has failed to find a more honest name for itself. Without either circumlocution or prejudice I will suggest a few cases. “Peace of the soul” may for instance be the sweet effulgence of rich animality in the realm of morality (or religion). Or the first presage of weariness, the first shadow that evening, every kind of evening, is wont to cast. Or a sign that the air is moist, and that winds are blowing up from the south. Or unconscious gratitude for a good digestion (sometimes called “brotherly love”). Or the serenity of the convalescent, on whose lips all things have a new taste, and who bides his time. Or the condition which follows upon a thorough gratification of our strongest passion, the well-being of unaccustomed satiety. Or the senility of our will, of our desires, and of our vices. Or laziness, coaxed by vanity into togging itself out in a moral garb. Or the ending of a state of long suspense and of agonising uncertainty, by a state of certainty, of even terrible certainty. Or the expression of ripeness and mastery in the midst of a task, of a creative work, of a production, of a thing willed, the calm breathing that denotes that “freedom of will” has been attained. [Pg 30] Who knows?-maybe The Twilight of the Idols is only a sort of “peace of the soul.”

No

Instead of that, why don't you just read him anyway?

Bro this is the Nietzsche podcast, not the Schopenhauer podcast

@@ThanhTruc-jw6uo I do..Why don't you just read Nietzche?

@@vikramchatterjee4495 He covers Schopenhauer..Were have you been?

And if the type of man who hurts the person with resentement is defined by hurting them, then that it is who is literally defined in their existence by harming, the so-called slave. And thus the slave not only has a point but it will always be harmful to the slave that these people exist.

But I think to then equate those who are realistic about the evil of others' actions to ugliness and weakness is Bullshit. They are often, to me, the strong people, because they resist the tide of evil that others ignore is even possible to resist. And, by the way, they are usually the better-looking people, and are destroyed by Today's slavery Society. Look at Nietzsche. Not a good-looking Guy.

I mean, boy, if the slaves are the ones who are angry about what others did to them, I wonder how free are those who get bullied by Nietzsche into liking their oppressors. Fuck Them.

But they can do what people do. Prey upon each other.

Perhaps not in depth because it would be a long detour from Nietzsche, given the theme of the podcasts? But certainly some very important chapters that can be connected to the German's philosophy.

(but nonetheless fantastic)

Nietzsche didn't write in English?

@@socialswine3656 I guess that's just a joke

Mind-numbing is the right word. They get you to use your mental bandwidth parsing the weird syntax and vocabulary, so you are disarmed when it comes to the content. And then there is the attitude that being forthright and clear shows you are not part of the club.

@@VisiblyJacked You're assuming a simple dichotomy of ("weird") form and content. And this content is apparently something one should use one's "mental bandwidth" to be armed against. Seems like a pretty reactive way to approach a text. And why are we assuming the value of "being forthright and clear," especially when it comes to philosophy, whose "content" isn't something that can be demarcated in a forthright and clear manner. The criterion of commonsense clarity can only appeal to simple platitudes in terms of already established generalities of common knowledge, according to already established values. That works for practical communication of work duties (e.g. 'pass the hammer' or 'open the door'), but what makes you think that something like 'reality' is easily communicable content? Perhaps reality is weird and complex, thus some kind of experimentation with syntax and vocabulary might be preferable for philosophy.

@@chasesaladino6669 Nicely done! You do need a few more Latinate words though. Remember, Anglo-Saxon derived vocabulary is the enemy of the high-status verbiage you seek.

In the age of AI technocrats, we need more gibberish and absurdist prose. Nietzsche always believed in the value of erring, to falter, to miss. In an era of being "morally" and "ideologically" correct, precise or "clear", we need more gibberish and the ravings of lunatics than ever.

@@litcrit6704 I highly recommed the documentary "The Net" by Lutz Dammbeck, there are so many threads coming together, from Adorno, the beginnings of Cybernetics and the Internet. Jeffrey E., the Unabomber to the rising Technocracy and the liberal vision of a new global humanity behind it. Sadly for English speakers it comes with subs only but is availible here on YT
