and it's exactly because of edgy, pretentious faggots like yourself that, although i'm mostly in favour of the merger, i have second thoughts

I really don't understand why every 20 something guy fetishizes Nietzsche.

After reading him and a few other sources about him, and unless my interpretation is egregiously wrong, I don't understand why. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong here but again, my basic understanding is generally correct, no?

1) "God is dead", then nihilism happens
2) we ought to be the poets of our morality, indeed our lives; nihilism isn't inherently bad but a virtue from which an ubermensch can be engendered
3) fuck utilitarianism suffering and the will to power are good (I'm somewhat okay with this)
4) master morality is superior and we are the arbiters of our moral destiny

But there's nothing in Nietzsche's conclusions that really preclude outright sociopathy -- in fact, Nietzsche's cold and detached writing seems to encourage it. Is the genesis of such a philosophy not "fuck everyone be a noble master"?

I rather like Christian virtues, and I see great value in them. Moreover I like the reformed Abrahamic religions in general, and I find that there is utility in the cohesion formed when their various forms are adopted by a people.

It seems that for a society to adapt Nietzsche's system they would have to be a society full of anarcho capitalist autists

Tell me why I'm wrong; I enjoy a good learnin'
