- Why Evil Wins: The Hard Truth About Morality | Friedrich Nietzsche"
What if everything you believed about morality was a lie?
You’ve been told that kindness, fairness, and honesty make you strong. But what if that’s the very thing holding you back? Why do ruthless men rise while good people fall? Why does power belong to those who take it, not those who deserve it?
Friedrich Nietzsche saw through this illusion. He called it "slave morality"-a system designed to weaken the strong and keep them obedient. From the fall of the Roman Empire to modern politics and corporate power, history has been shaped by those who reject moral illusions and embrace the brutal truth of power.
🔹 Why do "good" people fail while the cunning succeed?
🔹 How has morality been used as a tool to control the strong?
🔹 What did Nietzsche mean by the "Übermensch," and why do most people remain "Last Men" instead?
🔹 Is morality a universal truth-or just a system of control?
This is the uncomfortable truth about power, morality, and survival-a truth that most people refuse to accept. Are you ready to face it?
👉 Watch now to uncover the brutal reality Nietzsche warned us about.

But the lion cannot write a sonnet. The wolf cannot perform surgery or heal his pack. Comparing animal life to human life are 2 very different things.
Nietzsche's metaphors challenge our moral constructs, not literal animal abilities.
@@NexusInsight-13 But being able to write a sonnet might have something to do with 'morality'; maybe that is also the case with surgical mastery and effort to excel in it in every medical operation. -- Nietzsche then again was useless outside his literal prowess. He wrote in metaphors and poetic epigrams for a reason, so let's not jump to straightforward conclusions. He was a diagnostician of the (budding) modern culture and society, not a therapist for the moral and weak ones. That is, he didn't envision a world of predators and psychopaths set free but rather that of emancipated humans living to the fullest of their potential! First of all he was a grand provocateur and relentless opponent of conventional thought and hypocrisy. He was a man of obsession, writing was all he had; poor fella, great fella.
@@NexusInsight-13 Yes. We are animals! Why do so many people pretend that they are not animals and view other animals with disdain. The difference between us and other animals is our ability to reflect on our actions. This is an amazing ability. What would be the point of us having this ability if we are going to ignore this ability and behave in the same ruthless way as other animals. It does not make logical sense. Logic dictates that we all go vegan. That is what has to happen if we all want to survive into the future.🌱☮🌱
Not mutually exclusive..u can be!strong and do whatever else..however..u can not be weak and do whatever u want..weakness limits choices..some do not want choices..they want something less but don't want to admit it
@@GoatHouseBlues Homo Sapiens lost to psychopathology.
evil doesn't win. All evil self destroys and takes down everything it can with it. I call that the ultimate lose
Great point! Many believe that evil is ultimately self-destructive, and history has shown that power without wisdom often leads to downfall.
Evil is the fire in which it burns.
They never played fair, that’s why they always win!
Exactly-those who refuse to play fair often rewrite the rules to win. Nietzsche argued that power rewards the unorthodox and ruthless.
Marcus Aralias was both good and powerful. He ruled with compassion unlike previous emperors such as Commodus and Caligula
👍
Diffrent times...
Commodus was Marcus Aurelius son he ruled after his father
Absolutely-Marcus Aurelius shows that true power can be compassionate. His leadership stands in stark contrast to the brutality of rulers like Commodus and Caligula
But he was not able to raise a good heir
No one ever wins. Death is the ultimate conqueror.
Predators often have signifantly shorter lifespans then their prey. They are less strong than desperate. Wolves like 10 years, bison like 25 years on average in the wild.
Thanks for watching :)
Evil rise very fast and fall faster than his rise ,but kind rise gradually and stay up forever thus is the difference .now choose your path
Great observation! Evil may rise fast and fall even faster, while kindness builds slowly and endures. The choice is yours.
There is a difference between being good and being naive. It's best to have wisdom and power.
Thanks for sharing your insight! I agree-being good doesn't mean being naive. True wisdom comes with the strength to wield power effectively.
"Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good Is dumb." - Dark Helmet
Ha, Dark Helmet! Nietzsche challenges our ideas of 'good' and 'evil'-it's all about power dynamics. Thanks for the laugh and your thoughts!
@@NexusInsight-13 Dark Helmet was not wrong.
Absolutely not. @@johnthornton4591
Evil always won because no one ever escaped from the claws of evil.
First, we must define what is to succeed or to fail. In the universe and its laws (the ones we know or attempt to know), Im afraid human success or failure are meaningless
Interesting point! While the universe may not care about our success or failure, our personal definitions still shape our reality. Thanks for sharing!
Yes powerful gains power by force, but in the end they all suffer consequences. There are nothing wrong with peace and safety.
Absolutely-power gained by force often leads to its own downfall. Peace and safety are values we can truly stand behind.
Only power can guarantee peace. And peace is rare and unstable. Those who live in peace are actually living under the stronger's wings. There is nothing wrong in rest over peaceful times. But be prepared for war
It is true that there is no such real thing as "evil" if you are thinking of it as an objective truth or supernatural force. There are conflicts of interest, personal opinions, and people who think their opinions are something undeniable and universally compelling. It is true that the universe itself is utterly amoral, and has no inherent predisposition to make what most people think of as "good" to be the winner of any contest.
But as personal opinions go, if you wanted to call something "evil", that would be a compassionless, arrogant, amoral a**hole like Friedrich Nietzsche.
Thanks for your comment! Nietzsche's provocative ideas stir strong emotions, and I appreciate your perspective on the nature of 'evil' and morality.
That's true. If you want to change this world, you must be powerful (whatever the change may be.) But especially if the change is good, it's even more incumbent upon oneself to become powerful. Of course, it's sometimes an opinion whether some change is good or bad. But there is no effective, true, and tried way around achieving it. Ideally, the power should belong to an intelligent humanitarian. But in human history, it's been a coin toss, which further proves that the might is right (whether objectively it is or not). But since this is the law to affect change, becoming powerful is the key to that lock.
Great insight! To change the world, you have to harness power-even if it means navigating a tough, sometimes unfair system. Thanks for sharing
Still it's better to be amoral than immoral.
@@josron6088 👍
Thanks for sharing your view! Being amoral-staying neutral-can sometimes be a less harmful stance than acting immorally.
he who isn' t with me, is against me. There is no such thing as amoral
@@NexusInsight-13 Great content.
Being moral is being strong. Strong in using brain not muscles. Strong to know morality works better in human society structure. Brute will get retaliation in long term brute will fall. Morality gives stability and strength as community. Maybe...just a thought...u can think abt it.
Absolutely-thanks for sharing! Using our minds to uphold morality builds lasting strength and community stability, while brute force eventually falls short.
True. very enlightening. I got lashes many times for being good.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's painful that being good has come at such a cost, but your strength is truly inspiring !
I can understand how this way can try to justify for one own conscience that there is nothing intrinsically wrong in acting evil for one’s own benefit. But I ask you how in specific situations this arguments works besides justifying unethical action? Examples please. I could use this reasoning to poison your coffee as you are a hindrance to my way to power, but how, I pray, does that apply if I am not willing to act in a reprehensible way?
Thanks for your question! Nietzsche isn’t giving us a license to act unethically-he’s merely pointing out that history shows power often goes to those willing to break conventional morals. For example, figures like Caesar used ruthless tactics to rise, not to justify harm, but to reveal how strict morality can sometimes hold back effective action.
@@NexusInsight-13 Thank you for your reply! I believe you have proven my point. There is no sentence where you can conjure his incentives with action within morality, although you try to somehow excuse this by using stress words like conventional or strict they are not essential to the message. The message is: “moral is what holds one’s way towards life, which is power in essence” as you had said in other video he agrees with Schopenhauer up to a point, and where they diverge is that Schopenhauer conclusion is that one only wins by surrendering his will to power while Nietzche promotes acting towards it. I wonder what kind of music Rossini, one composer praised by Nietzche, would produce if he decided to brake the rules of the pentatonic scale.
Most times,
It is not the thing that is dangerous, but the intentions of the ones in control of the thing that is dangerous.
What are the true intentions of you.
Are your intentions good or are they evil.
Simple English question.
The devil didn't make you do anything, your intentions and agendas made you do everything that you chose to do.
You are the only one to blame for your intentions.
If there is a good god out there that cares about us,
Today is the best day for that good god to finally do something to finally help us,
If not....
It's been whatever....
Great point-intentions are everything. We're responsible for our choices, and whether a higher power intervenes or not, our intentions shape our actions. Thanks for sharing!
Why? Because good men are afraid of being good as virtues requires judment, reason, self-esteem. These are not innate feature of everyman, it means he has to be responsible for his life. When he’s confused what is certain and what’s not, evil will come and offer him the easy wayout, to forfeit his life to the devil’s hands
Thanks for your insight! Virtue demands responsibility and self-awareness-qualities many fear-making evil's easy path all too tempting.
One does NOT choose MORALITY to be safe and comfortable, quite the OPPOSITE.
One chooses morality as one's way of life DESPITE its "POWERLESSNESS" in this world.
Why? Because one's INTEGRITY and SELF RESPECT, which are acquired through SELF-CONTROL (not control of another) and by the POWER of CONVICTION, are more valuable than ANY OTHER kind of power, control, or gain.
Yes, Nature is IMMORAL, but a HUMAN BEING IS NOT supposed to be a PART of it. We are supposed to be APART from it.
TRUE POWER lies in being strong enough to say NO to "animal nature" and its IMMORALITY.
Unless, of course, one PREFERS to behave like an ANIMAL, in which case one cannot be called a CIVILIZED HUMAN BEING.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I agree-true morality is about integrity and self-respect, not comfort. Real power lies in the courage to rise above our baser instincts.
As SOCRATES understood, EVIL is nothing more than IGNORANCE. And ignorance never "wins," but only seems to win - due to ignorance. LIMITATION is IRRATIONAL by definition. And we are experiencing limitation; we are having an irrational experience, which is the very definition of INSANITY. As SOCRATES understood, WISDOM is knowing and admitting to oneself that one's understanding is limited and therefore irrational. Intelligence without wisdom is a boat without water. And Nietzsche was intelligent, but quite insane in much of his reasoning, which was based on false, presumptive premises. Absolute Truth is simple and makes absolutely perfect sense. And the foundation of absolute Truth is what has been called "The Philosopher's Stone." I found It. And so can you, if you're ready to. That is, if you have overcome FEAR sufficiently that you possess enough WISDOM. Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies.
Thanks for sharing your insights! I appreciate your take on Socratic wisdom and absolute truth as a compelling counterpoint to Nietzsche's ideas.
Even this planet was rewarded to the ones who "rebelled in heaven". And all of us who are sent here are supposed to be their servants. "Lucky devil(s)" is not a co-incidence. We common souls are sent here as how law-breakers are sent to jail. So, we more or less deserve our servants status ...until we realise that there are certain conditions that will qualify us to go back to a more pleasant place when we die. Death is the reward given to us to go back. If there was not death, we would permanently suffer here. The real challenge for us is to find out what really qualify us to go and not return.
Thanks for sharing your thought-provoking perspective! Your view on life as a trial and death as a gateway to something better offers a fascinating contrast to Nietzsche's take on human constructs. It's definitely food for thought!
A philosopher that believed European royals and Lords practiced the same faith they handed down to the masses? Makes sense that such a simple mind would take hold of the Germans.
Thanks for your comment! Nietzsche’s ideas were provocative and continue to spark debate-it's fascinating how his critiques of imposed faith still resonate today
Does the Venus fly trap apologize for being carnivorous? No.
Exactly! Nature doesn’t apologize for what it is, and neither should we.
This is only one side of the story..... Did injustice won in the finale? Did the world goes better when the powerful kills each other? Lol. Be wise😂😂😂😂
Thanks for your comment! You're right-this is just one perspective. Nietzsche's ideas challenge us to rethink morality, but real life is far more complex.
The strong have one enemy yhat they cannot beat, no matter how hard they try, and that is their own ego. Their own sense of reality. Sure contortions of reality and abuses of power may deliver short term gains, but in the long run, they are the source of their undoing. Hence, the only antidote to this, is humility and delayed gratification. If Freddie wants to misconstrue this as a slave morality, he is welcome to do so. However, this is the same impulse that nurtures and looks after the needy, without which, none of us would have made it to adulthood.
Great point-ego is the strong's greatest enemy. True power demands humility and delayed gratification to sustain lasting strength
@NexusInsight-13 Freddie's insights on power are profound, but never forget his own perspectivism. He was an outsider looking in, locked away in a swiss mountain hut high on opium. This is not to say that his insights aren't useful, because they are. However, they have their biases, just as we all have, and our own inability to move past them, is precilsey the reason of why perpetual humility is nessesarcy. Will this generate long-term success? Not nessesarcily, however, it pre-empts you from dying to your own foolishness, and that is worth something as well in the law of the jungle.

Control over the followers is why I have little respect for religion.
Thanks for sharing your view! Nietzsche was very critical of how religion can be used to control followers, and many share your sentiment.
0:18 huh no, kind man knowing he's dangerous, f$&$# you up at the right moment with precision and power is not to be overlooked.

there r two power, one has ego the dangerous for society's and other is sacrifice that's stand on moral and follow the God principles
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I agree-ego-driven power can be dangerous, while selfless, morally grounded sacrifice has the potential to uplift society.
Would you rather be with the team that cares about you? Evil just exploits you. Everyone is invited to join Team Fairness. We don't do anyone wrong and we care about everyone. We curse those that do us wrong. The most powerful ones punish evil for us.
Team Fairness is noble, but Nietzsche reminds us that fairness can be manipulated by power.
He was wrong.Good has courage. Evil is cowardly.@@NexusInsight-13
Nietzche ignores the fact that heroes are all through our history. Jesus, Buddha, Guru Nanak, etc. Evil was defeated in world War 2.
@@TheWayofFairness…the heroes you quoted were all weak af..!!😂
He explained the world. Not real life. We do need a Government like Jesus Christ preached. Under God almighty and able to get rid of all evil, including death. The future is bright when God's Kingdom takes over 🌎 government...
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Nietzsche's view of the world is quite different from the vision of a government based on divine guidance. It's fascinating to see these contrasting ideas as we think about the future.
The powerful have already taken everything.
Thanks for sharing your view. It may seem like the powerful have it all, but Nietzsche reminds us that power is never absolute-it's always up for a challenge.
Nagarjuna: neither nor wins.
Interesting point! Nagarjuna’s middle way-neither extreme wins-offers a refreshing counterpoint to Nietzsche's focus on power. Thanks for sharing!
Lol, see how well this philosophy work out for Nietzsche.
Thanks for the comment
I feel there are 2 sides to Natural Law, a Yin side and a Yang side. The Yin side is Jungle Natural Law, or do as thou wilt; and the Yang side is the Civil Natural Law of those who want to live peaceably together. The Yang side should never be ignorant or blind to the Yin side, and reach down to the little black circle in the Light of the Yang and fight when need be. I feel the Founders of America did something like this when they fought the Yin power coming from England and the Jews, who are masters of the Yin Natural Law.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I appreciate the Yin/Yang analogy for natural law, though I prefer not to attribute these traits to specific groups. For me, it's all about balancing raw power with civil order

It's inaccurate to compare the beast to the beast of human beings. You do realize how dominate we are on this planet?
Thanks for your comment! The comparison is more metaphorical-highlighting that primal instincts still influence power dynamics even in our dominant human society.
Great video make more videos like this.
Thanks, will do!
So why is the most powerfu country and autocratic men in the world are falling apart along with innocent people?
Autocratic power built on brute force and control is inherently unstable-when it unravels, even the innocent bear the cost.
Drawing lessons from animal kingdom into human experience is fallacious. That is where Nietzsche philosophy is flawed. Divine design of creating Human species as inherently different and superior to all animal life, bestowed with conscience that has subliminal recognition of justice, compassion and righteousness completely differentiates the Human Experience.
That is the essence that always eludes Nietzsche and all Existentialists. Only if one has faith in a Creator who has bestowed Humans with the element of conscience and a moral purpose, can one comprehend the higher purpose of life, way beyond power for its own sake.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Nietzsche’s comparisons to nature challenge us to think differently, but many feel our divine endowment of conscience and moral purpose truly sets us apart.
Um it's the circumstances and situations with included timing that matter in the outcome because oh let's see David and Goliath just to start
Absolutely-circumstances and timing can turn the tide, just like David and Goliath. Thanks for sharing your insight
In the end God ( good) wins ❤
Thanks for sharing your view! Nietzsche challenged divine justice, but many hold that ultimately, good prevails.
Those that have the WILL to fight,
Let them fight!
But those that do not have the WILL to fight, in this eturnal world of STRUGGLE, have NO right to live!! 😮
For is not knowning this the beginning of ONE's own WILL TO POWER that was taught by the profit Zarathustra after he decended down the mountain called LIFE the day after his creater, Nietzsche, killed the concept of GOD? 😮
Thanks for your passionate take! Nietzsche’s 'Will to Power' challenges us to harness our inner strength, though life's complexities go beyond simple confrontation.
We must resist this doctrine of exploration of the weak in the name of greatness and power. The devil in the initial stages appears very strong but in the end he suffers a humiliating defeat. Good will always triumph over evil.
Exploitation
Reality prove false
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Even if power seems to favor the strong at first, true goodness can still prevail
“The devil in the initial stages appears very strong but in the end he suffers a humiliating defeat. Good will always triumph over evil.”
This is just a religious narrative though; has nothing to do with actual reality.
It's not hard to see how and why Nazis thought so highly of Nietzsche's writings. Freud saw us as wretches, as scum. He saw our task as developing character and courage and to wake from the stupor we're born into. Then there's Matt 7:13-14 that says only a small fraction of us manage to navigate the strait gate to rise above our birth condition. That fact is more than obvious today. What's missing from our understanding is why we'd consent to go through this wretchedness. The power people are even more damned that the weak they exploit. Again it was Freud who said Christianity's answer to our dilemma is for fools and children, not developed souls. What's described here in this video is social Darwinism. It's taking us back to the Dark Ages and global chaos--and likely extinction (as Chomsky reckons). We have to do a lot better than that but it seems we can't. The stupor won the day. Weakness is the general human condition. Eric Hoffer said of it: "It's often been said that power corrupts. But it is no less true that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of inadequacy and impotence." I've met very few people who aren't devoted to weakness and mediocrity through fear and ignorance. The only conclusion to be drawn is that Earth life is the equivalent of rubbing a puppy's nose in it when he craps indoors. But what is it all leading to? What is the ultimate objective behind it? No mention of any of that here, just the bad news most of us already know. Bad news has become our diet of the day.
Thanks for your deep insights! Nietzsche's work has been misused in many ways, and while his ideas may seem bleak, they push us to question power and morality. The ultimate objective is for each of us to find our own truth beyond the 'bad news.' Your perspective adds a lot to this conversation-thanks for sharing!
Yes history does repeat, look at Trump and America today.
Remember: This is All a Test!
Absolutely-life's challenges are tests that help us grow. Thanks for the reminder!
Evil doesn't exist.
What? What planet are you on?
U must be a kristkuckkk christian
Interesting point-Nietzsche saw 'evil' as just a label we use in power struggles, not an absolute force.
It seems as someone forgot his pills.
By that reasoning, then "good" doesn't exist.
Good wins in the end bossman don't care what no one says look at all the wicked people in history none didn't have a happy ending. A man is to be good for the creator instructions. not what the world thinks!🫡🫡🫡
Thanks for your comment! While Nietzsche challenges our notions of morality, many believe that true success lies in following a higher calling. Staying true to the Creator's guidance is indeed a powerful way to live.
