I started reading Nietzsche a couple of months ago. Then found this channel and I'm just hooked. I try to learn and remember as many things as possible from Nietzsche's philosophy.
(scient - knowing; aware; knowledgeable) + (ific - creating and/or causing something) - a truly scientific man, and in my case, one who knows also the substances and matters of language, is mentally genius, begetting ideal forms and/or ideal functions... knowing is not the work of a slave, who does what he is told, as does, so often, an academic in his scholarly hive
I'm guessing Friedrich knew also that another would know this - and sought to impel such a conviction, such compulsion, of one to disagree with him - and I'm grateful for the task, doubly so, considering how much these words have fraught the bugmen working in their walled gardens of universal pretenses
The elements of Nietzsche's thinking that are "thrown away" today are the most interesting.
2:25:12 "Ultimately, there is an order of rank, among states of the soul, and the order of rank of problems accords with this. The highest problems repulse everyone mercilessly who dares approach them without being predestined for their solution by the height and power of his spirituality."
It's funny, as the end of Buddhism says pretty much the same thing. The true teaching. Makes you wonder
Dude your content is fucking awesome. I just Kant stop listening 😂
Lol. I.kant either.
This guy is actually hitting every note.
Im pleasantly suprised
You really are one of the best neitsche "scholars" I've had the pleasure to listen to. Good man.
And I'm including some very good men
You may be the finest explainer of our day. I'm taken back.

Finally, my free spirited friend
The only people that I share Nietzsche's disdain for are the priest, the party man, and the fanatic. Beyond that, I don't really care for anyone else.
Look up the gentle man Leo strauss
Outstanding!

I am really surprised to realise that despite not studying any philosophy, my personal philosophy is really close to Nietzsche's.
I started reading Nietzsche a couple of months ago. Then found this channel and I'm just hooked.

Thats because his philosophy is part of the universal uncouncious and present in modern cinema and literature
It's a natural philosophy. At pains to be. Though, by definition, not philosophy.

What do you make of Girard’s criticism of Nietzsche?
Simultaneously one of the best and worst criticisms of Nietzsche ever articulated.
where does he write that?
Will you do a video on it?@@untimelyreflections
The best type then
@@ritafonseca1338 I would like to see that as well.
philosophy is an art of arts, a science of science, a mastery of mastery... look up the etymology of 'science'
the exception *above* rather than against the collective
a collector of the collective, if you will...
when he said that about 'science' and 'self-praise' I'm pretty sure he was talking also about himself and what he was actually doing
(scient - knowing; aware; knowledgeable) + (ific - creating and/or causing something) - a truly scientific man, and in my case, one who knows also the substances and matters of language, is mentally genius, begetting ideal forms and/or ideal functions... knowing is not the work of a slave, who does what he is told, as does, so often, an academic in his scholarly hive
I'm guessing Friedrich knew also that another would know this - and sought to impel such a conviction, such compulsion, of one to disagree with him - and I'm grateful for the task, doubly so, considering how much these words have fraught the bugmen working in their walled gardens of universal pretenses
I agree you can analyze philosophy but it does not make you a philosopher in nature..... you either are or aren't
