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 4 месяца назад

@@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).

@santacruzman8483 4 месяца назад

“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.
