I pity this guy. Honestly. He's so detached from reality, and I mean that in the general sense - encompassing everything. He's lacking in spirit, passion, intelligence...

While Stirner's social alienation was endearing and empowering, Nietzsche's was largely self imposed due to his cold hearted aggressiveness and rambling. He's the philosophical equivalent to the beta nerd, the permavirgin who worships chad and has no hope for anything. And at times, he comes off like a child. Again, not in the charming scoundrel way, but rather like an insecure Sartre on the verge of a temper tantrum. Early in Zarathustra, he talks about how he'll write about the elderly stage of the übermensch once he reaches it. Fitting he dies of syphillus, as a prositute was his only chance of scoring.

Nietzsche is the saddest example of hubris and delusional cynicism outside of fictional literature. John Green had a warmer soul.
