StandardProceduree.... Word up!!... Im so glad i learned this... Now i have a better understanding, more knowledge of my nature, and i am therefore more powerful... This feels good.... Its also great to actualize that its in fact also growth...( power is absolutely not limited to the negative connotation it has been condemned to... Its MU CH MUCH more....) I can now self actualize my nature, become more aware (powerful) with/of it, justify or support it( which feels good because it suits my wills end goal towards power, because i can not even just excuse it, but feel inclined towards it, as it lies under neathe conciousness, it will persist and express itself in many different ways, and its my responsibility to direct that will and energy in a positive way, use it for good, and attempt to make the world a better place ( just as super heros uses super powers ) ( IT FEELS SO GREAT HAVING HAD LEARNED THIS)

But does it really matter ? I mean, in nietzschean teachings, greed ought to be considered as good. I think to be true to his teachings, Nietzsche should have said 'The Will to Power is Greed. The Will to power is Growth. Greed is Growth''

​@@francoislechanceux5818 There is an importance difference. When one thinks of greed... by what equation is greed and growth related in a positive manner? There are many tales I'm sure involving growth of a person while the not adhering to greed (if anything the greed of characters prevents them from growing, greed brings forth the antithesis of growth: stagnation). If anything the second part of the equation is suffering, the Buddha's encounter with suffering is the impetus for that man to become the Buddha for example, where is the greed in this moment a great change, a great growth, took place? Nowhere at all. Greed in its original sense involves the obtaining and hoarding of riches; personally it would be more likely to find a Last Man with greed then the Ubermensch, they probably already have said riches or don't care about it. They certainly wouldn't have it tied to their self worth as how a greedy person would.

Will to power is not greed, its the amount of will that Overcome resistance.....

That is a great and complete summary 👍 👏 👌

StephenAndrew777 he who truly soars high does not care what others think.

+magouliana32 the statement doesn't show concern for what other's think.

"we appear to those who cannot fly" It clearly says that we appear smaller to others hence he is thinking of how non flyers think, of how the flyers appear to the ones who are not able to "fly". Yes he cares and there is other examples you just don"t know how to look objectively yet to see that he is the one who could not soar.

+magouliana32 it's a statement more about the self than other, please don't talk of objectivity.

The statement includes the other, that's not my fault i didn't write it.

I didnt understand that part too. Could you explain it? So he sees either free will or determinism sufficient in explaining actions?

@@fierypickles4450 He thinks both are illusions.That is because both free will and determinism accept axiomatically the consepts of "object" and "subject",which Kant and Schopenhauer proved to be false.There are no "borders" between things.All is one.One big "happening" and consciousness accompanies it.Consiousness doesn't just create freely nor does it just receive passivelly the world.Rather, it has a transactional relashionship to it.For example:when you look at a red aple you have no choice but to see the colour "red" and the consept of "aple".However, both the colour and the consept of the aple are created by you.There isn't such a thing as "red" or "aple" outside of a human brain.In order to have a "red aple" you need a consiousness to percieve it.So counsiousness both receives data AND creates the perceived world simultaneously.

@@vasilissopikiotis6219 thank you that was helpful

@@vasilissopikiotis6219 nicely explained, thank you. Also, 'aple' is missing a 'p' :P.

@@yznaiber7598 hahaha,yea...i kinda fucked up there :P

Fuckin a this lol

That would have been interesting. I wonder if he would have agreed with him?

Yes, the accidental power for the trixtor, could outlive and assume Vigilance. Pro-creation shall find It's Way.

Marco Dellorusso I expect he would certainly have troubles with the abbrasiveness of some of his ideas, the iccorrigible pessemist that he was. Still, both men were first rank geniuses, and I would have loved to know what he might have had to say to Nietzsche's philosophy!

Chris Krajewski What do mean?

@Universalis Ted you're a bit loopy

Moonmans will to power overcomes everyone

right??!

Willsulla Dionysius Kidd It's one of only two such videos I've become aware of. The other one is Galen Strawson's talk that can be found here called 'Nietzsche's metaphysics'.

Everyone uses him in his own context (which i do not disapprove so much). Thats a difference between the rest and the scholars who actually study and want to know what this man meant.= independently of their mental framework. I enjoy reading various philosophers but when it comes to applying it in your own ideas i'll let people who study them as their life profession to do the talking.

I am guessing that your name has something to do with the will to power, SuckYourBone.

+SuckYourBone *Scholars are only salaried servants of the political power of their time, they doesn't live on clouds: and the political power that rule the world today is progressive and capitalist liberalism* , *i.e. a system that is trotskist-leftwinger in culture (Permanent Revolution) and anarcho-capitalist in economy (the heart of modern civilization is Wall Street)* . Basically Locke and Montesquieu + Trotsky. *Great free thinkers and philosophers that fought all their life against 'Modernity', 'Democracy', 'Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité' and 'Liberalism' like Nietzsche and Heidegger are depicted as 'Egalitarians in reality', 'Humanitarians and Humanists', 'Christians', 'antecedents of Pope Francis' etc., and 'scholars' are nothing more than the obedient servants that deform these great anti-modern philosophers. They and journalists are the 'Oratores' (clergy class) of postmodernity* . Nietzsche and Schopenhauer wrote clearly about the true nature of 'academic philosophy'.

Not everyone can stomach neitzsche's ideas

mahmud rizve: It’s not that I can’t stomach it, it’s just that a philosopher of Aristotle’s caliber differed from Nietzsche. Upon further observation, I can see how one can’t be happy without being powerful, or having relative power over oneself (personal liberty). Nietzsche described the will to power as the freedom to be what we truly are, without obstacles. This definition is almost the same as happiness, or freedom. The two philosophers seem to describe the same thing.

This whole idea of wanting to be happy 24/7 like the song from Pharrell Williams is bullshit and I would say even more dangerous than Nietzsche’s philosophy. The pursuit of happiness takes away and distracts your will to face reality in its raw form. Hell , even Buddha prefers peace than happiness when he left his wives, gold and kingdom for enlightenment. The main problem is society adulterated the meaning of happiness into a variety of things like quick pleasures, materials, acceptance, vacation, the perfect romance ect. Real fulfillment comes from overcoming and longevity which Nieztche emphasizes and is the main force from both sides , Apollo and Dionysus both have that drive.

I was thinking Linus Roache.

Prudence, as well as other virtues, always has an alterior motive based on a higher purpose. Out of all modern philosophers Nietzsche came closest to identifying what it is according to nature.

Nietzsche 🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍congrats for discovering this "ROCK" of philosophy . . .

You must be an absolute cretin. He was clearly mistaken.

lol me too

+MrAwrsomeness Explain that one?

All is will to powrr itself as well as falls into a heiarchy. Entropy and order are both the wtp as well as it's results.

interesting. almost like the hero that tries to get a memorial, or the philanthropist with a plaque.

YES! Glad to hear I am not alone!

"Believe nothing you hear and only one half of what you see." Schopenhauer would have made a world class poker player as well as a philosopher on the highest rungs of Mt. Olympia. The philosophy of Schopenhauer works in poker and works in real life. Nietzsche though did his mentor proud by adding a hierarchy to the will. This video highlights how profound and paradigm shifting was Nietzsche's full spectrum analysis of life's battlefield, chess match, poker game, video game matrix, choose your metaphor. Nietzsche may have solved the Rubix Cube of life's puzzle in connecting philosophy and "truth quests" with power and sun generated energy that clearly drives life. All captured with Nietzsche's Navy Seal front line focus and precision force of his "powerful," heralded writing style. Schopenhauer, as senior commander would have for sure toasted Nietzsche with Dom Perignon for his savant brilliance, and Navy Seal like battlefield awareness against the university hollow men philosophers, and awarded Nietzsche his Navy Seal trident for advancing philosophy a thousand years by the paradigm shifting work of the ages, WTP. Never thought at univ Plato could even be challenged with his epochal writings, but Schopenhauer and his protege Nietzsche took the game to the next level. So, yes, Schopenhauer is the mentor for sure, and Nietzsche did his senior commander Navy Seal proud by becoming with WTP "the philosopher for the day after tomorrow." TY, for your astute Schopenhauer gratitude.

Then how do you explain self sacrifice? Humans frequently sacrifice their wellbeing, years of their life, and existence to make an impact. The “will to power” trumps “the will to exist”.
