I don't get why people follow Nietzsche

Like, by accepting his premise that you have to create your own meaning, that implies you also accept that life is inherently meaningless. Therefore, whatever "meaning" you seek to create, is really just hedonism in disguise. The fact that you may suffer in the process, just means you're deriving a sadomasochistic pleasure from the pursuit of meaning.

The other issue with making your own meaning, is that all paths are equally valid. It's just as meaningful to jerk off all day as it is to write a book, because as was established, it is up to the individual to be the subjective arbiter of what constitutes a meaningful activity, or not.

I'd rather be a hedonist, desu, at least it's not hypocritical and logically consistent.
