The sound of a low-testosterone male's skull rattling. Low testosterone puts you in a mental state similar to that of a wounded animal. You see everything in terms of threat, obstacle, and cost. With healthy hormones, the body functions the exact opposite. People with healthy hormones see the world in terms of opportunity and gain. The low-testosterone male tries to scheme his way up the hierarchy through an endless series of tricks and loopholes so as to avoid challenge risk and work, or he suffers the way described in this post.

Amor Fati is illogical. There are good experiences and bad experiences. You love the good experiences and hate the bad experiences. To try and love both good and bad experiences means you are trying to circumvent the original value judgement. This leads to indifference, not a love of life. It's weird seeing this from Nietzsche, since this is an idea central to the cuckold Stoic philosophy.

Eternal recurrence can be romantic if you take a high degree of poetic license. If you think it through, however, it has a problem. Assuming that the life you are living now is the one where you make your first decisions (I think Nietzsche might disagree with this) which will then recur eternally, then every subsequent life is one without agency, so you are not a human but an automaton repeating pre-programmed actions. Just like how a plant has no need for emotions because it doesn't make choices, you too would feel nothing.

G-d's not real. Deal with it.

Meaning is a remnant of the religious past, loosely translating to the afterlife.
>What's the meaning of life?
>It's a test from God.
>How do I pass?
>Follow his rules
>For what?
>Heaven
It's no wonder that philosophers have a hard time with 'meaning', because its ideological base has already been destroyed.
