>Schopenhauer? He played the flute.

>slaves using slave morality to gain a modicum of advantage in this arena of life is... le bad!
>they need to abandon their defense mechanisms put in place for centuries meant to protect themselves against the tyrannous rule of masters and not to be treated like cockroaches
Excuse me if I didn't completely understand him, but from what I'm interpreting, what exactly did he mean by this? Were Nietzsche's books exclusively written for the overman in the distance? Most people cannot be masters by virtue of competition alone, and being blindly critical against what the herd uses for comfort, solace and protection feels a bit drastic, for lack of better word.

The last couple of weeks this board has undergone an invasion of christcucks, zoomers and pseuds that haven't read Nietzsche (pbuh) and constantly make hate threads about him. One can only see this threads and feel disgusted at all the last man that try bring down one of the best philosophers of all time through petty arguments that they heard in a video about Nietzsche from one of the thousand pseud philosophy channels on youtube.

Let me give a list of people that don't like Nietzsche:

>woke SJWs
>christcucks
>women
>neckbeards
>zoomers
>leftists

do you want to belong to these groups? Yeah, I don't think so.

So stop making hate threads and actually read his books before you start talking nonsense about the man.

And if you read him, don't warp his philosophy into your own niche ideology. A while ago I saw a thread that was discussing the fact the Nietzsche was a humanist and actually a christian. Fuck off with all this Jordan Peterson bullshit. Accept his philosophy for what it is, or ignore it entirely.

>“The reabsorption of semen by the blood is the strongest nourishment and, perhaps more than any other factor, it prompts the stimulus of power, the unrest of all forces toward the overcoming of resistances, the thirst for contradiction and resistance. The feeling of power has so far mounted highest in abstinent priests and hermits (for example, amoung the Brahmans).”
- Nietzsche’s NOTES (1880-1881)

What did he mean by this?

>I believe there has been no dangerous vacillation or crisis of German culture this century that has not been rendered more dangerous by the enormous and still continuing influence of this philosophy, the Hegelian. The belief that one is a latecomer of the ages is, in any case, paralysing and depressing: but it must appear dreadful and devastating when such a belief one day by a bold inversion raises this latecomer to godhood as the true meaning and goal of all previous events, when his miserable condition is equated with a completion of world-history. Such a point of view has accustomed the Germans to talk of a "world-process" and to justify their own age as the necessary result of this world-process; such a point of view has set history, insofar as history is "the concept that realizes itself", "the dialectics of the spirit of the peoples" and the "world-tribunal", in place of the other spiritual powers, art and religion, as the sole sovereign power.

>The time will come when one will prudently refrain from all constructions of the world-process or even of the history of man; a time when one will regard not the masses but individuals, who form a kind of bridge across the turbulent stream of becoming. These individuals do not carry forward any kind of process but live contemporaneously with one another; thanks to history, which permits such a collaboration, they live as that republic of genius of which Schopenhauer once spoke; one giant calls to another across the desert intervals of time and, undisturbed by the excited chattering dwarfs who creep about beneath them, the exalted spirit-dialogue goes on. It is the task of history to be the mediator between them and thus again and again to inspire and lend the strength for the production of the great man. No, the goal of humanity cannot lie in its end but only in its highest exemplars.

The only philosopher I find interesting is Nietzsche. Will I be well read if I only read his stuff?

Nihilistic crap.

Do as I say not as I do, the philosopher.

Ubermensch is a man who stop searching the meaning of life,leaving the valour of Socrate,opening the door of a new era when the man is free by the ethic valour.

I'm sure that if Nietzsche was alive today he would costantly post weird, inflammatory posts, and would act as a pleb to fuck with his followers.
I'm sure he would stay there for a very short amount of time, just to weird out humanity.

>he thinks that Nietzsche's prescription matters

Nope, he is just showing you how to use the genealogical method, and how to be a nihilist without being a pessimist. The conclusions he reaches are just a specific perspective, based on a strictly material outlook on the world (he even thinks that the value we give to truth is a prejudice, that's how far he is going), And as Nietzsche himself said
>There are no facts, only interpretations
And then
>There are no interpretations
And at the end of his life he was sure that he could not truly overcome all values in his lifetime.

Basically: try to understand Nietzsche's way of reasoning through his analyses, make up your own mind and from then on treat his prescription as a very sophisticated interpretation of his experience (that's what it was). Take him literally only when he is talking about epistemology and metaphysics, when he goes to the surface (society, human interactions, culture) keep in mind that not even Nietzsche believed in what he wrote for more than 2-3 years at a times. The only exceptions are the aforementioned ones: he used to think that he had the right ideas about epistemology, metaphysics right from his teenagehood, and he has spent his entire life playing and experimenting with these "discoveries" of his, mainly radical nihilism which is overcome through a vitalist philosophy.

Post philosophers that oddly enough fit Jordan Peterson's definition of Marxism.

I'll start with le ''There are no facts.'' guy.

What did Nietzsche think about black people? Did he ever mention them?

>he thinks that Homo Sapiens Sapiens can be Ubermensch

With Ubermensch Nietzsche was clearly talking about more evolved humans, who will slowly achieve perfection in tenths thousands of years from now. Our job is to guide and steer our evolution in that direction: we are but a bridge to the Overman.

>The concepts "true" and "untrue" have no meaning in optics.

Such a simple concept that was alluded to in the earliest Greek philosophical works, and which someone can easily come to thanks to the development of science since the 1800s.

Yet how come, after more than a century since he wrote this, most people still haven't grasped it?

Blaming Marx for the barbarism of the USSR is like blaming Nietzsche for the holocaust and other moral transgressions of Nazism.

Has there ever been a greater thinker or example of a cultural critic? Like the man had an absolute monster of a mind. He literally changed the way people think. He covered almost every major topic. He had no biased narrative

Just I want his cock desu

''Nietzsche's complete works''? More like ''One T R U T H-bomb every 2 sentences for thousands of pages''.

How did he do it?

What was he like in person?

How is Thus Spoke Zarathustra supposed to be read? Can I read a chapter every once in a while, or does it have to be marathoned from start to finish?
I'm asking because Nietzsche has written a few books that can be read in the way I'm describing (Untimely Meditations and Ecce Homo).

>50% of the time he spends shitting on Wagner is because Wagner advocated chastity.

Wagner advocated chastity and justified with Christianity.
Had you read Nietzsche late books, especially Ecce Homo, you would know that in his life he chose loneliness for his art and philosophy, and that that choice wasn't something that he forced upon himself (aka, it wasn't a life-denying sentiment, it was instead the manifestation of his inner nature).

>>9203881
As I said in another post Nietzsche did not die as a virgin. What I was saying is that in the years in wich he wrote his masterpieces (post Thus Spoke Zarathustra) he had very few friends and, as far as we know, no lover.
It's not that shocking though, since we're already past his unviersity experience, his relationship with Lou Salòme and his worst years of illness.

reading twilight of the idols again... is it me or is the 20/21th century a completely decadent hellscape

>being a genius

Just accept that certain people are better than other, and that that does not mean that those inferior people have to be enslaved/exploited/killed/whatever.
