My favorite Nietzsche quote, "To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities-I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not-that one endures.". I adore your work Robert and these videos explain more and more why.

Him saying so is his putting more ground work to his nihilism I think this could be something new as his idea of pain is that it's liberating according to this quote I believe that pain can be eye-opening to the sufferings that we have and it's something that unites us but I think that for non nihilists the comfort of the know is much better as I would prefer somethings to be sweet and beautiful
@brianjones9780
@brianjones9780 3 ай бұрын
​@@Phelix-fe8uo Nietzsche is far from nihilist. Nihilism claims life has no meaning. Nietzsche claims suffering is what gives life meaning. Attaining beautiful and nice things without suffering for them makes one's soul fat. Better to face hardship and struggle for it first, then you'll have an appetite for it.

Nicolaus Copernicus, a Renaissance-era mathematician and astronomer, proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system. Copernicus suggested that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was at the center of the universe, and that the Earth and other planets revolved around it. The Catholic Church was initially resistant to Copernicus's heliocentric theory for several reasons: Biblical interpretation, Aristotelian cosmology, and challenges to authority. The Catholic Church (power) over the heliocentric model (the truth).

To understand Nietzsche you’ll have to first read Greek mythologie, other philosophy and history from his time, and then you’ll have to read all of his books at least once, if you want to understand him. Thus spoke Zarathustra is his best work in my opinion, after gay science. To understand these works takes years and lots of thinking.

“Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, 'This is what I need.' It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment--not discouragement--you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes.” ~ Joseph Campbell

Thank you for sharing this, Robert. I discovered Nietzsche when I was 16, and only capable of a mostly superficial understanding. Similarly, I kept coming back to his work over the years (now in my 50’s). I’m wired to experience a full range of emotions, and have had plenty of opportunities to do so. The other writer (not philosopher, per se) who has always fascinated me is Dostoyevsky. I remember first finding his work through a summer reading list in high school, and it resonated with me so deeply. Throughout my life, I’ve often had the feeling that I was missing something; perhaps this is my own reflection of “What if my whole life has been a lie?”.

The influence of Nietzsche shines through in your writing. I'm not surprised to see it confirmed that you've been touched by his attitude and perspective. Nietzsche is my favorite, too. I like to say that I owe him my life. Not that I would have taken my own life had I not read him, but rather that the person I would have allowed myself to remain would have been better off dead. They would have been too dishonest. Nietzsche has a way of inspiring courage, brightness, and forward-leaning enthusiasm. You share this forward lean into life, providing footholds and technical knowledge for those making the climb into its heights. You two make a fine pair of authors ^-^

Many years ago after reading The Genealogy of Morals, I bought a copy of `Thus Spoke Zarathustra.` I tried to read it, but I couldn`t make head nor tail of it. So, I set it aside for a time & went on to read every book of Nietzsche's, except `The Will to Power.` Then, one late night I went back to `Thus Spoke Zarathustra` & it blew my mind! It was a very strange but profound sensation. Perhaps in some ways akin to a psychotic episode, but in a positive way, if there is such a thing. He understood the importance of language & had an astonishing grasp of it. That`s why I hadn`t then, nor even to this day read The Will to Power, because it was compiled from his notes by his sister ("that vile sow" as he described her in a letter to a friend), Elizabeth Forster. I do intend to read it one day.

Nietzche is a man I truly adore. Even with his weakness dragging him down he choose to seek glory and fulfilment in his battling against cynical nihilism and to affirm his life simply to exist in this world. There are many idea I disagree with him but even that I would always adore a man that trying his best to affirm life for his version of glory. I'm actually having fun reading Thus spoken from Zarathustra because it's the only work I actually understand right now (lol).

Sir, could you give more such reflective lectures on other philosophers whom you liked a lot, or you think are highly underrated, and today's youth must go through them once.

This was too short. Nietzsche is my favourite writer, ever. Marcus Aurelius is also one that I kept reading and being elevated by throughout the years. But no one compares to Nietzsche. Every single time I read his books, especially his Zarathustra, I'm astounded by his utter brilliance.

would you consider me brilliant because my theories about religion that i finalised at 15 were exact similar to nietzsche ?

@@Yonkipog No, because your 15 years were 150 years after him, so you were literally bathed in his ideas one way or an other. And you did not get any recognition. And you did not publish shit. And you apparently can not even write properly. Sooo.. no. But that does not mean you're not brillant.

Mike Mentzer introduced me to Ayn Rand which led me to find meaning of life and Fight club introduced me to Neitzsche who told me purpose of life is nothing but to suffer pain and relieve pain of others and take it upon yourself, and when everyone does the same, only then collective progress can happen

I would never forget the visceral reaction I had when I first read Nietzsche's nigh-incomprehensible quote, "It is only that which has no history which can be defined." The quote was so profound that even an Australian High Court Justice cited it in his judgment recently - truly profound!

I use to ask myself. What make a person so special? What give them them it factor? I realize it the person who having fun in life that what them special . When people think of fun they think of something physically. They think of a person doing something unproductive . I’m talking about having fun mentally. Allowing yourself to make mistakes or look silly in front of others.
