Kudos for the narrative. It is not fawning nor does it skip over the weak points in Nietzsche's character and philosophy. Instead, I am left with an appreciation for what he did offer in the pursuit of an alternative to submission
Thank you so much! I'm glad the approach resonated with you. Nietzsche was a complex figure, and presenting his strengths and flaws allows us to fully appreciate his pursuit of an alternative path to conventional thinking. Your comment perfectly captures the essence of what I hoped to convey!

0:01 I’ve heard it said “the ability to suspend belief is a mark of sanity”. My experience has shown me; the abandonment of belief is the beginning of serenity.
Thank you for sharing this! That’s a powerful perspective, and it resonates with Nietzsche’s ideas about questioning established beliefs and forging one’s own path. The abandonment of rigid beliefs can indeed bring a sense of freedom and serenity, as you mentioned. It’s interesting how philosophy can lead to such different personal revelations. I appreciate your thoughtful insight!
@@NexusInsight-13 the belief that you can abandon belief is self-contradictory.

After analyzing life's meaning in detail, I have come to the conclusion that life is really a gift of nature in the way of an adventure for a few chosen humans, and as such, we must enjoy it as best as we can, and we must also understand that like every adventure, it must end some day, an act that must be accepted without any regrets....

I think most 'horse whisperers' would agree that Nietzsche was able to connect with the spirit of the animal and understand why it was reacting the way it did. In the 17th century man had not evolved their thinking of how closely they are connected the animals DNA and the working in harmony with animals when possible will yield far better results than beating.

unfortunately, many nuances of nietzsches philosophy are not found here. for example, his famous, "god is dead," actually is a triumphant cry. for the masses, certainly, it is not. but nietzsche was not writing for the masses; this is an important distinction about nietzsche: he was an elitist. indeed, the death of god is a catastrophic thing, but only for the herd, as they are too weak to be able to create new values. in fact, nietzsche asserted that the concept of god itself is nihilistic. his philosophy is explicitly anti-christian, against the "ascetic ideal" that is nihilist. to nietzsche, the death of god, the age of faith passing, is one of opportunity unlike any other. it is like a vast, wide, open sea to be explored and creatively sailed. also, the famous horse story certainly never happened and he likely never had syphilis

Horse story happened in Torino. Nietzsche died from syphilis, that rendered him mentally ill.
@@JustinCase-ld4ih there is no evidence of the horse story ever happening. the earliest mention of it was from an italian tabloid magazine published some years after nietzsches death, and not a single person in nietzsches life ever mentioned such a thing happening. the syphilis diagnosis is not evidence of syphilis: his tongue had no tremor, he lived far, far longer than any syphilis patient normally does, and he suffered the symptoms that pointed to syphilis since about the age of 10 (nietzsche had a life full of physiological struggle). the most likely cause of death is something like a tumor behind his right eye; his father died young too, so did his brother. the horse story is entirely hearsay, and the syphilis diagnosis was likely wrong due to the prevalence of syphilis during that time and nietzsche not being a high-priority patient.

Your 'pursuit of greatness' is only about 1/6th of a balanced life. No more but no less. The other 5 areas include Spirituality, Family, Social interaction, financial planning and finally pursuit of optimum health. These 6 areas are like spokes in a wheel; if 1 or more spokes are bent, the wheel will still run, just not very well.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
I think Nietsche covered Spirituality in most every book, the other 3 items in your list I would agree that Nietsche did not spend enough time/energy to pursue, however I suspect his mental issues made him unlikely to connect with others, probably on the Autism Spectrum which no one knew anything about in the 17th century.
I really do wonder what Nietzsche would think the way forward was today, seeing a great rise in radical individualism/narcissism, art losing its meaning & the abandonment of both relationship & community. Would his push towards liberation through individual creativity still be relevant?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
Very well done, thanks.
Religion brings problems, lack of religion brings different problems. There is a huge difference in outcomes between a thinking atheist and an ungrounded, unexamined lack of faith. Such as so many people are today. While often failing in implementing the higher values that religion tries to instill, having no moral framework outside of what a chaotic society is telling you is catastrophic for both society and oneself. The great religions and many unknown try to teach that one should be humble, be kind. Now we have millions of people that think all that matters is themselves. Look at me! Look at me! Tik Tok vs. "Pride goes before the fall," to use just one biblical quote.

Really helpful summation of Nietzsche life and thinking ,providing g understanding His attempts to replace the transcendent moral framework so as to provide a new ethical framework , gave rise to “ The Will to Power ‘ and the catastrophic ideologic philosophies of the 20th century , manifested as overcoming others rather than self . The issue of what is a healthy relationship , between the individual and the collective , remains . For many , Jesus is the instantiation , of overcoming self
I find it interesting that Nietzsche , near the end of his life , sympathised with a suffering horse saying ‘ I understand you ‘ , as St Francis apologised to his “ brother donkey “ before he died . Epiphany ?
Human development is from the primitive, pre-personal, to the personal and then the Transpersonal.
It seems to me that Nietzsche travelled in the wrong direction and ended in despair.
Power over others is not liberating, it’s evolutionary regression.
Thanks for sharing such an insightful perspective! Nietzsche’s philosophy often sparks strong reactions, and you’ve raised a thought-provoking point. While his concept of 'power' is controversial, Nietzsche focused more on personal empowerment and overcoming one’s limitations rather than domination over others. It’s open to interpretation, though, and I appreciate you bringing this into the discussion!
@@NexusInsight-13 thank you for your reply.
For me, personal empowerment requires self-understanding and identifying with one’s unifying centre, the True Self.
Những ý tưởng của Nietzsche đã dẫn đến những cách diễn giải khác nhau, một số bị sử dụng sai cho các hệ tư tưởng có hại. Việc so sánh với việc Chúa Jesus vượt qua bản ngã thực sự kích thích tư duy. Khoảnh khắc đó với con ngựa giống như một cái nhìn thoáng qua về lòng trắc ẩn của Người, làm tăng thêm sự phức tạp cho tính cách của Người. Có phải là sự hiển linh hay không, thì cũng thật hấp dẫn!
Nietzsche's life was not in ordinary and sheltered life but was constantly in poor health since his child into adulthood. He was cursed by life to be in pain and suffereing and his Philosophy will ultimately arrive in the Nihilism; he never knew why that was the case.

I argue that the only morality is to not do others wrong. I argue that it is objective. It emerges from the oneness that is all things. All is one. This one is a single objective truth. Science calls it non-locality. Local cause is unreal. The one true object is what we are. The universe is an example. Our identity as well as the identity of reality is this one thing. Truth is what we are. Doing someone else wrong is sin. Our conscience that evolved from within the oneness knows. This knowledge is objective.

Does a 3 arm Nietzsche at 2:24 mean this was done by A.I.?
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Haha seen it too.
Saxony is not in Prussia and never has been. There is a state called Saxony-Anhalt, which is often referred to as 'Prussian Saxony', and Nietzsche was born there.
You're absolutely right-Saxony and Prussia have distinct historical boundaries, and they’re easy to mix up given the complex German states at the time. Nietzsche was born in what’s now Saxony-Anhalt, often called ‘Prussian Saxony,’ which adds to the confusion. Thanks for helping clarify!
Fritz (as Nietzsche was known in his circle of friends) made some remarkable observations about society and human nature. His "doctrine", however, is only to be regretted, as any realistic philosopher, anthropologist or historian can see. In fact, and despite his contradictions, as an apologist for Western nihilism, he only collaborated in the project of the moral decay of the ‘West’ that has brought us to the moment of 2024. His superman incarnated in a primitive Sapiens (which is what we still are) despite the layers of varnish, together with liberalism, could only develop the devil that we see today on the loose in this modern jungle. No wonder it was adopted by Nazi ideologues along the way. He never synthesised his analysis and propositions, which, due to their core contradictions, would prove impossible.
Thanks for sharing such a detailed perspective! Nietzsche’s work is indeed complex and often controversial. While his ideas have been interpreted in various ways, including by movements like the Nazis (a connection he likely wouldn’t have supported), his critiques of society and human nature still provoke valuable discussions today. It’s true that his philosophy leaves room for contradiction, but perhaps that’s part of why it continues to challenge us to question our assumptions. I appreciate your thoughtful input.

Thanks for your comment! Nietzsche’s journey through his ideas was undoubtedly complex, and he faced many internal contradictions. While some might see him as having reached a 'local maximum,' others find value in the questions he raised, even if the answers weren’t fully clear. Philosophy often leaves us with more questions than conclusions, and that’s part of its ongoing appeal. Appreciate your thoughts!

..."meaning in a Godless world..."..? I like Spinoza's idea of God as "all things"... the Universe and everything in it, including humans. Living in accordance with Nature, seems like the 'natural' thing to do in order to maximize, to the extent possible, living in harmony with "God / Natural Law". One has to wonder if his frustration in later life was not caused by the effects on his brain by his syphilis. Assuming that there is an "absence of absolute truth" is naive and dangerous. Not just spiritually, but physically. Anyone who has touched 220V, while grounded can attest to that - assuming they survive.
Thanks for sharing these insights! Spinoza’s view of God as synonymous with nature offers a fascinating contrast to Nietzsche’s ‘godless world.’ In Spinoza’s philosophy, living in harmony with the universe's natural laws can provide a meaningful framework without relying on traditional religious doctrines. As for Nietzsche’s health in his later years, the role of syphilis is still debated among scholars, but it’s certainly possible that his condition affected his outlook and writing. The point you raise about absolute truth is also important: while Nietzsche questioned moral absolutes, physical realities-like the danger of a live wire-remain undeniable. Your comment reminds us that philosophical inquiries often intersect with practical truths, making the search for meaning both a cosmic and a very real, grounded endeavor.

Thank you for the great feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and artwork. Nietzsche's ideas, particularly about the 'Übermensch,' were indeed distorted and misappropriated by the Nazi regime. His philosophy focused on individual empowerment and transcending traditional values, while Nazi ideology twisted these ideas to justify authoritarianism and conformity. It's ironic, as you pointed out-it's almost the complete opposite of Nietzsche's intent.
@@NexusInsight-13 I'd like to add that I've dabbled in philosophy all of my adult life and Nietzsche I could never get but now I feel a bit of clarity. Thanks for the video.
His nazi ideas included his racism, the master race of blonde blue eyed beasts who are above the morals of the slave races, his admiration for dictators like Napoleon, his glorification of war, the poisoning of the blood of the Germanic race by other races, and the authoritarian rule by the select few of strong men over the slaves. The myth that his sister somehow inserted these ideas in his already published writings is a way of whitewashing his proto Nazi concepts.

Clearly, he wasn't familiar with the Buddha's teachings and Eightfold path. To the Buddha, the issue of God was irrelevant; he wanted to free human beings from suffering. He prescribed a combination of ethics ("right speech", "right livelihood", etc) and meditation. The mind and all the drives were to be brought under control and transcended. The point was never to "merge with God" but, through meditation (going beyond all thought-patterns) to become free from corrosive habits and tendencies, free from all conditioning. Unfortunately, much of the western world sucks at meditation and remains stuck on the intellectual plain.

Thanks for your comment!

It's always interesting to see how different interpretations of his work come up
@@NexusInsight-13 Wrong.
People are just exploting his ideas for personal gain. Commodifying his ideas. Like this video. No authenticity.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I understand the concern about commodifying philosophical ideas, especially ones as profound as Nietzsche's. My goal with this video is to explore his insights and make them accessible for discussion, not to exploit them. It will encourage viewers to engage more deeply with his philosophy. I appreciate the chance to address this and welcome any thoughts on how to keep these discussions authentic!
Nietzsche NEVER opposed “faith” to nihilism, on the contrary he said all faiths ARE nihilism.
He opposed faith in God, Marxism ideals and promises from science, to Human nature, as all of them being hypothetical ideals.
He advised the individual to reach his/her “Will of power” instead, i.e. to burn all the icons and join the momentum of “here and now”.

Thank you for watching and sharing your comments! I appreciate your thoughts and insights.
I agree with Infinityblue's response. Nietzsche is best when taken like a seasoning; he can spice up your thinking, your searching, but he is not adequate as food, sustenance. He cannot sustain a person. I like the way Nietzsche can spur on toward self-honesty and rigorous self examination. I dislike his cynical view of religion or belief in God. It is easy to be cynical about organized religion -- very easy, and for good reason; yet, it has done a fair amount of good over the centuries too. Often our absolute judgements are flawed, incorrect, oversimplified, lacking definitive correctness. Each must find his own way to the truth; and yet there is still Universal Truth. I do not belief that "there are universal transcendent moral truths." Yes, there are; but the complexities of each situation can make determining those truths unattainable to mere homo sapiens. The "Superior Man" then (my 21st century transliteration of Ubermensch). is not some objective ideal, not an absolute. He or she is merely superior to others, to the herd, in self honesty, courage and perhaps also in moral ambition.
Thank you for such a detailed and insightful response! I agree that Nietzsche’s philosophy can be a powerful catalyst for self-honesty and introspection, even if it’s not a complete ‘sustenance.’ His critique of religion often sparks strong reactions, and I appreciate your balanced view-acknowledging its benefits and flaws. The idea of a ‘Superior Man’ or ‘Übermensch’ as someone who embodies courage and self-honesty, rather than an unattainable ideal, is an inspiring take. Philosophy truly does push us to seek out our own versions of truth. Thanks for adding depth to the conversation!
Because he was wrong about God, everything else needs re-examined.

I appreciate overman instead of the translation superman, following his translator Kaufmann---as Nietzsche constantly refers to uber und unter, over and under in his writings. and the video almost said that the many gods (Greek influence) laughed themselves to death over a god who saw himself as The Single God, (as God is free of human concepts or assigned attributes). God is Dead means more like ....bell bottoms are dead as a fashion....God and faith are not fashionable in the Western world among so called intellectuals and most others...ask yourself how could the source of spirit, which is fundamental, and also not composed of anything material, decompose of die??

The religion of self has a poor god

I've an artist friend who mentions him, and in my perusals, have come across on-liners of his thinking.
Thanks for this. I am one with him, pondering the same questions.
I rejected religion as a child, even though forced to go to church, Sunday school. I was drawn to the music, the choir, the organist's work. I endured the boring rhetoric, just for the music.
As a young adult, I became a musician, which I consider a life's passion.
I spend a lot of time in solitude, because to me, it is safety. I find society so abusive, filled with contemptuous ridicule. Some lay in wait to critisize, one-up, compete. Yet performing for the public is essential for my music, and I need to engage, bear the slings and arrows, and throw them myself because I take my craft seriously.
My life goes way beyond music. I've an engineering mind that takes on challenges, from fixing a faulty appliance to designingnand making devices that serve a purpose, or entertain. This is as challenging as music.
I have intellectual pursuits, yet I don't read much. I am anxious for no reason. Inner conflicts abound.

The fool has said in his heart “there is no God.”
That’s deep
Keep telling yourself that. ..165 years after the Origin of Species. Maintain your comfort level in the ancient myths.
Actually Nitche got everything wrong!
Thank you for watching and sharing your comments! I appreciate your thoughts and insights
@ Well, Nitche’s most fundamental error is obviously a Godless universe. As a God realized soul, I naturally disagree with him on almost everything. It’s important to emphasize that I’m not a “god fearing man” nor do I “believe” in God. I’m a rather God conscious person, possessing an acute awareness of God’s presence which was developed through many years of practice advanced yoga.
Philosophers such as Nitche are lacking fundamental knowledge and therefore resort to mental speculations and imaginary theories.
Just another excuse to call him a philosopher. He was yet another critic, an opinionated nihilist.

@@zoltanhajdu4979 you may have killed the wrong one. I think the real one is, as always, hidden but very alive…
Every human endeavour is a form of subjective Slavery. Niezsche Philosophy pioneered freedom of thought 🎇👏
Very true when neighbor cannot love neighbor in the Holy Land. Best regards on what comes next.
We can kill what we invented.
