@@mabusestestamentbeing misunderstood has two options: -genius -insane However, the funny thing is that geniuses in some cases appear to be insane for most people, as they are too evolved for their generation. Step by step into the unknown, the genius is not aware, but he is building the road for the generations to come.
I hate to say it, but Jordan misquotes him. He doesn't say "I can write in a sentence what it takes another man a book to write," instead, he says, "I wish to be able to write in a sentence what it takes another man a book to write." He wasn't being arrogant, he was being hopeful.
part 1: emancipation part 2: respond (see the difference between responding and reacting) part 3: push yourself ( is it the only way to find your limits - which in turn gives you a platform to better yourself - and ultimately know thyself) part 4: accept who you are (it is the first step to controlling what you can do)
Everything about this video has done greatly. From the AI generated arts, music to the voice of the content creator. Well done, keep doing what you are doing. I really enjoyed the content 😌
That saying about he who has a why, that is so inspiring to me. I've heard it various times in the past, and it always just fills me with an urge to pick up my goals and fight through any situation they put me in, for the greater benefit the goals will bring
A very under appreciated, overlooked, great philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was. I really enjoy all the works he done and his view towards bettering one’s self. Really outstanding work he made with the utmost delicacy put into it to make it speak to the corr of humanity in revealing what being human is and how to overcome the faults plagued amongst humanity
“ I can write in one sentence what it would take others a book to write “ - Nietzsche “ I can write in one book what it would take others to say in a sentence” - Peterson
@@thecolebunker151it depends on the grammar in question. In this particular case we can still derive the actual meaning he was trying to convey so correcting him may not be necessary. With that said, perhaps markdunn is intellectually challenged and was unable to make sense of the original comment and needed to make said correction.
I'm reading bits of beyond good and evil on and off. gotta say everytime I read a paragraph I'm in awe it's very mentally stimulating he takes you to the edge and conclusion of every idea. I like when he shits on other philosophers his shit talk is very accurate
Its like instead of focusing on how you can redistribute wealth, instead focus on how you can raise the standard of living and the quality of culture for all people
Yeah, some reference to sources would be nice to qualify what is being purported. Why would Nietzsche emphasize collective goals for his followers if the point is to have those followers evaluate their own values? Still a good video, but I also am not convinced of that part.
@@robertscott3732They didn't ask how you can have collective goals, rather that he is not buying, and I'm not either, that Nietzsche wanted his followers to pursue collective goals, as such.
@arturzathas499 Now I go alone, my disciples, You too, go now alone. Thus I want it. Go away from me and resist Zarathustra! And even better: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he deceived you… One pays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. And why do you not want to pluck at my wreath? You revere me; but what if your reverence tumbles one day? Beware lest a statue slay you. You say that you believe in Zarathustra? But what matters Zarathustra? You are my believers - but what matter all believers? You had not yet sought yourselves; and you found me. Thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. Now I bid you to lose me and find yourselves; and only then when you have all denied me will I return to you. Maybe collective in the sense that we are all going our own way but do not think that we are a movement or an ideology or a common force. The ubermench will come from us finding our own path.
I had never heard of Nietzsche before, but I must say that the quality of the video and the work put into structuring it makes me want to research a little more. Thx
just read one book and you will go into the abyss do not worry there will be one to guide you through who is known as Nietzsche and once you come back from that abyss you will meet a new man, an enlightened man. But i must say to read nietzsche you must read two more books one being the Schopenhauer's the world as will and represtation and kant's the critique of pure reason. Then you will have a better understanding. there are book that are recommended to read before Nietzsche for me I had read Kant in detail before reading Nietzsche, and when I started reading Nietzsche and some unfamiliar names popped up, I left reading Nietzsche to read that person's main work first. so that is also a way but not recommended. Do not start with the birth of tragedy, start with the genealogy of morals instead.
@@Coolnfts123 thats a valueable insight but after evaluating your ideas I've to say that this is not necessary to the full extent. Its useful for a better understanding and context, but I believe that you dont have to read it in depth in order to understand Nietzsche. ChatGPT version-4 is already actually super-intelligent and very cohesive. It can practically summarize and even give details about the core ideas of those philosophers and their set of believes. You can easily ask GPT for a detailed summary and then ask further questions if you dont understand specific points. After having done that with Schopenhauer and Kant, you're good to delve deeply into the work of Nietzsche. I myself, around 10 years ago read Nietzsche without having read Schopenhauer and Kant, understood him fine and got depressed as well :)
@@zjaeger1800Using gpt to read a philosopher like Nietzsche, is a waste. Believe I support ai to the fullest I even work with llms, but philosophy is subjective, reading summary which is from a subjective source with having the full context is somewhat a waste of time in my perspective. Gpt is extremely biased, most people would think the opposite so I would recommend to read books rather then just gpteing
When I see comments like that I always wonder how delusional the guy writing them must or could be. I ask myself these questions: Has the guy (you) even read some of the work that Nietzsche wrote? I mean - literally - have you even read just some? Have you even read *one* of his works by yourself? Because he has 13 main works! The next thing which comes to my mind is your profile picture - a minecraft image. Sure, that must display a very sophisticated interest in philosophy as you judge that "this video is the best one so far I have seen on Nietzsche"...
@@zjaeger1800 I used to have a minecraft channel so that is why I am using it. I still play every winter just for nostalgia and to reconnect with my friends from high school. I currently study engineering but have always had a high interest for physics, math and philosophy. Altough you are correct in that I havent read any books of him. Altough I have thus spoke Zarathustra which I bought 6 months ago but havent started reading it yet. I have watched several lectures on Fredrich Nietzsche both by different philosophy channels and also by Jordan Peterson. I read philosophical quotes every day on facebook and instagram and try to understand them and think about them and apply them to my own life. I think this video was very good for it was short and concise and informative and shed light on some core element of Nietzsche which few others have taken up in their video. Also trust me there are some extreemly bad videos on Nietzsche that I have watched and compared to that this video is a master piece. However you might be right because the reason why I liked this video so much is because it resonates deeply with my endeavours and goals in life, and of how I am to reach them. It doesnt need to be the correct way, and I am biased because that is how I want to live. However I know few people are spending time alone and thinking, and we need all kinds of people in the world and few have taken a similar path to that of Nietzsche so maybe it is me that should just take this path not only because I want, but because no one esle wants. To end this off I want to quote Nietzsche: “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” I have listened to you, now it is your turn to try to listen and understand me. After having done so you can stick to your idea of me or with my idea of me. Either way you will be more solid in your stance after having explored a person who thinks differently from you.
This is a brief but excellent introduction to the life & thought of Friedrich Nietzsche; some of your images are superb. You should now extend this video with references to Schopenhauer, Darwin, & Wagner...as well as by including his ideas on the master/slave morality, the will to power, & the eternal recurrence of this same universe. Nietzsche focused on the lasting value of a superior individual, not on the collective herd. Reacting to those comments below, it must be stressed that Nietzsche's ill health & death had nothing to do with his impressive creativity & remarkable genius. Yes, Nietzsche's profound worldview has greatly influenced the ongoing evolution of philosophy forever. Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New York
I clicked on this bc I loved the title of the video... but then almost immediately, he uses the cartoon superman to say that is wha tNietzsche meant for the overrman, that is definitely what he did NOT mean when he said "Man is something to overcome, a bridge..."
@@jurassicthunder Hah! He'd have to learn to write a sentence first! But you remind me. A half page in _The Gay Science_ contains all the good parts of _Manufacturing Consent._ I was relieved when I found this out. Chomsky's linguistics and academic ethics were so terrible I don't like to quote him if I can avoid it.
I just can't get over the fact that nothing matters our world will end 100% surely and we will be forgotten in the dust of the universe...money makes us happy women make us happy ..but all of it will end ..maybe thats the reak beauty
I have doubts about accuracy of this video. When did Nietzsche said we have to pursue collective goals? It just doesn't add up with anything he believed in.
Imagine quoting something as short as an aphorism and still editing out the second part - which is the most arrogant part of Nietzsche's statement: "what others do NOT say in an entire book".
If you are going to leave the crowded, well trod road and take a different path, then you have to know what this world is like and how to protect yourself.
The reaction from Mr Poor-dan Jeterson is a big give away off hiss level of awareness, and intelligence, Nietzsche is 100% right correct and speaks the truth. Funny and truthfull enough there is more truth and sow wisdom spoken by phylophers in comparisson to Psychologists/scientists
Nice Summary of Nietzsche's life and work. Thank you. Except the title. 1) He was not misunderstood. 2) He didn't solve "everything" 3) Many of his philosophical life rules are not that new. I mean, it's very close to Stoicism.
Great topic and excellent presentation mate. I only have 1 criticism which is purely constructive if you would take it. I think you should not use Elon Musk and especially Alex Hormozi as examples. Alex Hormozi is a pretty well documented scam artist and Elon Musk is a bit more complicated and controversial of a person. I think Nietzsche would despise both of them with a vengeance if he were around. Just an idea mate, anyways keep up the great work !
Well scam artists and sociopaths are above all morals as a ubermensch should be so I see no reason why they shouldn't be good role models for right wing nutjobs.
@@jaroslavgorokhovsky6609Unlike most other get rich scammers, Alex is more tactical. He repackages business school content and gives it to people for free to give you the impression that he doesn't want your money. This is the part where he reels you in He then funnels you towards the scam where he promises to grow your business for you in exchange for equity. Essentially, some small to medium size business owners end up giving him something between a 5-20% (I'm assuming). He ultimately doesn't add any substantial value for the business because he has no experience. Eventually, most business owners catch on but can't do anything about it because they've not only signed away a small part of their business but also an NDA preventing them from discussing their involvement. Its an incredible scam because he only needs to draw in a few business owners who are foolish enough to give him equity and he's multi-millionaire. He does this all while maintaining a strong public image because he's scamming a very small group of people.
yeah especially when one of the points the video makes is to "set collective goals rather than individual ones" Using two incredibly selfish people isn't really the best option
Im on the fence with Elon Musk, he’s controversial but he is, whatever you think, great, and will be remembered in history, and Tesla at least has greatly benefitted the transition to green energy/cars… but putting Alex Hormozi in the company of such people feels absurd
Wow, Jordan: Nietzsche said, "It is my AMBITION to say in ten sentences...". He strove. I thought Pederson appreciated terse Scripture passages... which is a similar style. And then, to label anyone as "... THE MOST..." of anything, is itself, a very arrogant position for Pederson to take.
When you are young, your body is the best it will ever be, and you are like a god. As you age, you lose your youthfulness, and your powers are stripped away. You lose your god-like qualities, and fall further away from the ubermensch state, never to be regained. And death is the great equalizer, as no matter what path you take in life, you always end up at the same destination as everyone else - dead. But even with struggle and heartache, you can choose to live your best life, to walk along the best path that you can muster. And it will be worth it, because you will have raised children to be their best selves, and interacted with others in a way that makes them lead their best lives, and to be a part of that is enough.
I think you do get some of the main points right, but I do notice that some of your viewpoints align with capitalist ideology, which Nietzsche criticizesed (look up Nietzsche on money makers). Also using Peterson in the beginning also kind of undermines the whole video, as Peterson struggles to understand Nietzsche himself.
Great video but why do you put people like alex hormozi and things like money in the same context as nietzsches believes? His believes are much greater than ghese temporary things
Hey. Grat video as usual. But could you mix the images with the footage as you did before? You have a great way of editing. I guess this new way is easier maybe. But a half/half mix should do. Just a small suggestion. Take it or leave it 😉
Nietzsche didn't solve everything. The spirit of his philosophy leads to more questions than answers. Nietzsche was a perspectivist and a philosopher of becoming. Everything is flux as Heraclitus who inspired Nietzsches philosophy wrote. Even truth?!
Rare to see someone try to help others by explaining Nietzsche. Teaching and the way of thinking despite ,it been warped by his own family and egotistical points of views.
"Nietzsche said, 'God is dead, and we are the ones who killed him.' He didn't mean that in a literal sense." Well damn, up until just now I thought for sure that we literally killed God.
Altogether a good video, but I feel like you’re trying too hard to house Nietzsche within traditional morals. You make him out to be just another preacher of virtue and altruism; in reality, he was fundamentally opposed to such ideas.
Neitzche didn't "solve everything". He pointed out the logical conclusion of acccepting Darwinian evolution: nihilism. 'Beyond Good & Evil' is called that because in a purely naturalistic, mechanical universe such as what we see in evolutionary theory, the is no such thing as right or wrong. There is no 'goodwill,' as Kant would say. There is only the will to power.
@@noobzie8963 and that's according to Neitzche, that there is only the will to power. Or, at least, that the will to power is more important than the will to Truth
@@jamespierce5355His point was that fundamentally life’s highest purpose is a will, (a life) force that seeks to express it’s power in the world in all its different forms. A flower growing through the crack of a sidewalk etc… it strives. In nature, we see a hierarchy of life forms and life rewards those with the greatest will along with health & strength. This produces beauty. It’s fine to be a good person. But good people must understand that goodness requires power to do good. It’s not enough to believe you are good if in reality you are just weak.
@@bryanutility9609 to me power implies authority and control, which is incompatible with ultimate truth. I think maybe 'strength' would be a better word. They are similar words, but strength does not carry the same connotation of control in my opinion
Ehh, unfortunately for Nietzche hos philosophy tends to break down in the practical application of it and his philosophy does almost the opposite of what it was intended to, which was liberation. Obviously there were other factors for his insanity but I will always maintain that one of the factors of Nietzche going made was him following his own world view. If you want a more meaningful philosophy that is similar to Nietzche but doesn't involved the self obsession, read Dostevsky.
@aviatordanz no Nietzches philosophy doesnt break down it just tells where you are and where you need to be to achieve freedom. But bc you are coping so hard that instead of acknowledging that you are not free where you are. You just change the meaning of what it means to be free and try to deny the point nietzche made. You could say this a freedom but its simply the freedom to hide.
"I am a wanderer and a mountain climber, Zarathustra said to his heart. What returns, what finally comes home to me, is my own true self. Alas, I have begun my loneliest walk, but whoever is of my kind cannot escape such an hour, the hour which says to him: Only now are you going your way to greatness. Peak and abyss, they are now joined together, for all things are baptized in The Well of Eternity, and lie beyond Good and Evil."
very nice video but i find it funny that most of the imagery is AI generated muscular men, as if the only way to put his words into action is through exercise and physique. Nietzsche talked about mental strength or willpower which is achievable by any man woman or child who is dedicated enough, i believe this conceptual idea of philosophers being in peak physical condition is outdated although the greeks saw it as necessary, in modern society we don't need to place such a high value on physiques and rather on freethinking. Jordan Peterson is part of the problem imo
i dont think Nietsche wanted people to become millionaires because of their anger, keeping in mind you can do great things for society if you would set your mind to it. Becoming a millionaire should only be because you want to make the world better (my opinion)
