Sure, whatever. Final bosses tend to be disappointments anyway.

>philosophy is for fa-

1. Anyone who thinks Nietzsche is an optimistic, life affirming philosopher is deluded because they think this because they believe that they themselves are ubermensch and capable of achieving the level of self-mastery needed to becoming one
2. Nietzsche's solution to nihilism only applies to a very select few, and yet almost everyone who reads Nietzsche and follows him believes that they are that select few
3. Nietzsche, despite what these deluded "followers" of Nietzsche believe, is a nihilistic, negative philosopher for most of humanity.
4. After growing up and realizing that they are unable to become ubermensch, do not have the strength of will to achieve self mastery, the followers of Nietzsche usually begin to disregard him and think of him as childish, immediately thinking of Nietzsche's philosophy as bad, and his mindset immature, instead of admitting their inability to succeed in it.
5. Almost everyone who goes through a Nietzsche "phase" is a childish deluded narcissist, unable to gain a mature acceptance of their irreversible inferiority, at all stages of their development.

Prove me wrong. (Note: this post is not pro nor anti-Nietzsche)

Hey, I'm currently trying to become an ubermensch, and I know that because ubermensch have a lot of self-mastery, they are all fucking jacked, so I'm trying to get jacked. According to a bunch of fitness gurus on youtube, if I eat fruit, I will get fat because it has a lot of sugar. But, according to Nietzsche, you have to eat a lot of fruit to become the Ubermensch. So, there is a paradox in Nietzsche's philosophy: you must be both jacked and fat at the same time.

How do I resolve this? Did I just refute Nietzsche's philosophy?

>Systems are stupid! I am superior to all philosophers with systems because I do not make assumptions! All other philosophers are dumb because they just go based on assumptions that the FEEL to be true, what idiots!
>Schopenhauer plays the flute too, what a fag!
>All other philosophers are slaves to my cause, because I am a true free thinker who doesn't use systems!
>Oh yeah, by the way, everything is based on the Will to Power because that's what I feel it to be
>Oh yeah, also the free spirits and philosophers are teh superior master race because that's what I feel
>Also everyone should try to strive for existential self-overcoming beause it's the best because that's what I feel
>Stupid system using philosophers am I right?

Nietzsche is literally the most aesthetic person who ever lived. Not an example of, not one of.. He is literally the most aesthetic person to ever walk this earth. For starters, take a look at pic related. His mustache is fucking glorious. His posture is fantastic. His demeanor is one of the most noble you will ever see. He looks like the ruler of the world in this picture, and I would gladly lend my life to fighting for whatever cause he stood for. Now look at his life. Okay, first he starts his life off with a bang as one of the most brilliant students in his time. He becomes a fucking professor by the time he was 24. Imagine that, a full time intellectual by the age of 24. Nietzsche was a born intellectual and truth seeker, a fucking warrior of truth. And after experiencing the horrors of the Franco-Prussian war, falling to the depths of a terrible sickness, Nietzsche recovers and begins his destruction of all of human thought, his quest for ultimate truth. He destroys metaphysics, he destroys morality, he destroys free will, he clashes with and destroys other geniuses like Wagner, he destroys psychology, nationalism, science, he destroys fucking God. He creates Zarathustra, a new way of thinking, a new philosophy, a new fucking modern world, in the course of 10 days. And he does so fighting against the greatest sicknesses known to human kind, not only metaphysical and moral, but physical as well. He transcends all of humanity, flying to the countryside where he confronts God alone, a wandering ubermensch in a harsh and lonely world. He fights, and fights more, until his very brain fails him. Until the neurons in his brain simply cannot withstand his transcendence, until he breaks beyond physical reality itself. The greatest mind to ever live, the greatest man to ever live, falls under the weight of the combined sickness of humanity. He fought for all of us, he broke for all of us, he ate fruit for all of us. Nietzsche is the most aesthetic person to ever live.
