Academy of Ideas thank you!

Wow, I figured I would disagree with Nietzsche but this was such a load of garbage. The desire for power, pride and vengeance are not natural states for people. No human is born with those feelings. We want only one thing, to be happy. Somewhere during our lives some of us pick up the idea that happiness is attained through power. Some learn that happiness is linked to ones value, and that value is dependent on others acknowledging it, so they act to defend their pride. (Don't worry guys, human value is inalienable and irreducible) Some learn that a lack of happiness *must* be the result of another persons actions, and so seek to exact revenge for it. The most natural state of humanity can be seen in the behavior of young children, before they have had a chance to "learn" how people "should" act. Nietzsche is one in a long history of justifying and glorifying the most inhuman behaviors we develop. The strong have a right, even a responsibility, to abuse or control the weak. edit - To the presenter, none of my criticism is aimed at you. I thought you gave a very nice summation of the philosophy presented in the book.

I have 2 very old hardback covered in cloth books. I don't know German. But I know these. Ein Buch für Alle und Keinen Zarathustra. And a smaller one called Übermensch. They are both in full German. I would like to give them to Yall. As a Thank You.. if you want these I will gladly send them, as a Thank You. ♡

AOI thanks for the vids. As a Dyslexic I learn way better this way. I am grateful Zarathustra.

It's apparent that you have no true understanding of Christianity here, like something read out of a textbook but not well understood.

Diomedes Yep. Jung owes a substantial portion of his philosophical work to my main man, Nietzsche.

@@donaldmcronald8989 For sure, Nietschze was a Psychoanalyst and an academic gnostic before there ever was Jung or Frued. Nietschze most certainly continued on where Emerson left off.

Plato was ahead of them with his allegory of the cave

@@henkverhaeren3759 Hello mate, Nietchze specifically wanted to go pre plato. He was diametrically opposed to the cave analogy.

@@delinearevolver Sure. Could be mate, but if Nietzsche had crawled out of his genius mental cave, straight into the light of consciousness, then perhaps his final years wouldn't have been so dark for him.

The pursuit of happiness is the true prison.

The intoxicating joy, the joy that diverge our attention from the demise we have.

Glad I realized early on the constant pursuit of material things was pointless. Easier to see things as they really are and live a more peaceful life when you aren't chasing stuff.

whats wrong with comfort if your comfortable

@@caelan506 it imprisons you Keeps you in one space There's comfort in the Familiar So you stay in the Familiar Familiar poverty Familiar emotions Familiar family dynamics Familiar Thinking Familiar people Familiar Familiar Familiar keeps you stuck in one space Can't WONT ACCEPT anything or anyone outside of your Own Familiar Comfort zone This includes unfamiliar ideas Unfamiliar beliefs Unfamiliar people Unfamiliar beliefs ANYTHING outside your Familiar comfort zone just makes you too UNCOMFORTABLE so is rejected, put down, dismissed, judged, turned away, hated on, just so you can stay Comfortable, stay in your Familiar comfort zone you Can't accept change because it's takes you out of your Familiar comfort zone, so will do ANYTHING to prevent any changes occurring, you won't like accept anything anyone outside of your Own Familiar Comfort zone, Familiarity also Breeds Contempt for your own Familiarity Which breeds Hate, resentments , bitterness, emptiness within you which you then Express Project out into the world onto others, onto political types, onto organizations, onto neighbors ANYONE outside your own comfort zone of Beliefs Thoughts feelings deeds Everyone around you must conform to you and your comfort zone just so you can stay Comfortable You won't have or accept anyone or anything That's different because that causes you discomfort, & takes you out of your own carefully designed by you suits only you comfort zone ... Ask yourself this ... If being comfortable is so Good Why is it that we now live in the MOST COMFORTABLE SOCIETY that's ever existed but we are also the most fearful miserable depressed anxiety that's ever existed?

The internet and online culture are also heavily accelerating this process. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for humanity.

Svilen Angelov I was thinking this exact same thing dude. Eat well and exercise so you can see what happens on the next episode of "Humans" :)

It's amazing. Nietzsche not only foresaw where society would go, but he gave an answer for how to redeem it. And so the responsibility of his ideas falls to us.

The truth spoke through Nietzsche and now we have all the pieces of the puzzle, Search *_Truth Contest_* and read the top entry called "The Present". The truth as it relates to conscious life has been revealed and it will transform mankind and the world when enough people see it.

don't read the truth contest. It offers nothing to you unless you're batshit full stop. It's written to be hypnotic and confusing, makes you feel vulnerable to ideologies that ultimately abuse you. Be careful out there kiddos

@James Morrison Superman is a comic book superhero already, so I think Overman is just right.

I was about to say that...because Zarathustra makes it clear: "Man is something that shall be overcome." Any man. even a superman, would still be "human, all too human". Thus "Overman" is the correct philosophical concept for that which shall come after the last man has blinked his eyes for the last time. "Der Mensch ist Etwas, das überwunden werden soll." (I have also carefully read the original German text.)

Higher man*

James Morrison you should watch the ubermensch video by Kyle kallgren bhh

@James Morrison Untermensch sounds even dumber :D

I identify myself as the one zaratustra loves: the one who prepares the world to the arrival of the ubermensch, in his own way; do you judge me to be wrong in this statement, or in my will of living up to it?

I completely agree with you. Simply understanding the words of Nietzsche does not make you the "higher man". It just means that you have acquired a portion of his knowledge. But since only a minority of people in this world are enough open minded to take his words into consideration thus failing to understand them the person begins to feel special and that is what, in the end, blinds the person. In our pursuit of understanding, gaining wisdom, becoming what he called "higher man", we must constantly keep a certain level of humbleness.

Nothing worth doing has ever been easy, dear friend.

I think giving up on envy and replacing it with admiration and aspiration is the first step towards becoming the higher man.

Indeed all we can do in this sense is to prepare the world for the arrival of ubermensch, even being a father to raise an uberman. He argues that we can't be uberman both because we are man and because we have to destroy the man in us and reborn as an uberman. All we can do is to walk on the bridge between animal and ubermensch to get closer to ubermensch. Even in love and marriage our goal has to be giving birth to ubermensch, not to reproduce our humanity. We need to die to reborn as an uberman. Nietzsche things that as long as all the old ways are in existence, there will be no ubermensch. Everything has to be destroyed so the better can be build, fixing and improving is another and a greater block in our way to ubermensch.

Seeking the truth as it relates to conscious life? Search *_Truth Contest_* and read the top entry called "The Present". Nothing could be more important or more worthwhile.

Truth and the Life yes, reading Nietzsche.

I see what you are trying to do with these videos. Keep it up!

@Svetlana Rozetti u ok?

Especially when he adds his political opinions in on top of terrible interpretations and freemasondicks start falling out of his mouth.

godhead I don't believe we have come to that point but we're heading towards the Last man, we're truly living in a time of chaos

Dimitri Vincheov also more like a "brave New world" on roids

Indeed

There are many Letzter Mensch, but they really thrive?

By its very definition, “The Last Man” cannot and will not thrive for long. The question is, how much of life as we know it will be sucked into its death spiral?

@Lana JDL wtf

Yes, more, more..specifically more on Zoro, please... thank you

@Lana JDL he was the most brilliant person to put pen to paper andcit wasn't for money or fame but for mankind. Ive read four hundred years worth of philosophy and no one comes close to his brilliance. You should read his book beyond good and evil it's one of the easier ones.

An even better translation of "erfunden" would be "invented", as happiness is not a reality but a concept, an idea people aim for

I think the final quote is very fitting in this case "But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthword, downword, into the dark, the deep - into evil." Especially when thinking about the nazis and how they twisted his words in hopes of creating the "ubermensch"

Well to build on these ideas, press on to Strauss. And then I suppose one is to put these ideas into practice and some sort of level.

Thank you.

Be my guest😁😘

Downloading/buying books would've been great if one could also buy the time to read them. -Schopenhauer

U damn right

Pretending like you don't have time. You just aren't prioritizing self-improvement.

Kindle is much more convenient than a book - doesn't take up storage space in your home.

Nikolay Belorusov I believe he is in his late 20s - early 30s. I’m excited to think of the places he will go in time.

Really is good content. How could Nietzsche know all these things. Blows my mind, this is a great channel to learn.

True. And don't preach but lead by example.

@@rklein2367 It seems now with the whole covid saga, people are getting over their heads with getting a vaccine shot. Like there's so many other things in this world that could literally kill you before covid does and people are treating the vaccine shot like some kind of holy grail that gives immortality....sad

But isn’t that the same as living as a monk in a monastery sitting on a beautiful high mountain?

Matthew Weber that is a really good quote

""Happiness is the feeling that power increases, that a resistance is overcome, then the Superman will be the happiest man and, as such, the meaning and justification of existence." Well then, men like Stalin and Hitler must have been very happy dudes!

He's simple AF

Neitchze did not have an evolutionary theory... In fact he did not practice physical sciences

Evolution through natural selection is simply a hypothesis to explain the diversity of biological life on earth. Do not read more into it than that. That said, it has endured for some 150 years and will probably become 'fact' some time before 2200 A.D.

Good man, I've read it once but found it hard to understand but after reading countless of reviews and videos about it, I will read it again and as many times as possible to have that knowledge ingrained into my brain.

hahaha. I love the thought of Zarathustra in his long robe dropping the mic. Hilarious :))

Its a contradictory analogy...the roots bring food to the tree from dark depths of soil. The taller the tree,the greater its demand for food so deeper the roots. Roots and soil cannot be portrayed as evil.

And today is again... perfect timing.

I bet it was self-education

You just stick to your special education and let the thinkers worry about ideas

In my best voice of Joey Diaz "Don't do it!"
