What does "Untergang" mean to Nietzsche?

What author strikes a certain tune in your heart? The kind that makes you feel understood, and as if though your feeling and being was/is mutual in experience of that of being*

What is some Nietzchean literature/poetry? What would it look like?

What are some writers that talk about viewing life as art or from the perspective of an artist? So far I've got Nietzsche, Wilde, and Proust.

What if he was right about the eternal return?

What order should I read his works?

fellas, what did you do when you realized eternal return was unironically real?

I like Nietzsche but I don't like telling people this because I feel like they're going to lump me in with the cringy edgy teenagers who read Beyond Good and Evil and misinterpreted it completely. Why are Nietzsche fans so cringy???

>Amor fati
>Eternal recurrence
>Tschandala
>Will to Power
>Apollonian Dionysian dichotomy
I'm sorry, does anyone take this guy Seriously? Beyond Good and Evil is terrible and the Gay Science is incredibly gay

I don't get nihilism.
Why would me being a nihilist imply I will want to kill myself? I really struggle to make the connection personally.

>Amor fati
>Eternal recurrence
>Tschandala
>Will to Power
>Apollonian Dionysian dichotomy
What a reddit tier philosopher. Beyond Good and Evil is Cringe, Thus spoke Zarathustra is crap, On the Genealogy of Morality is boring. Why do people like this guy?

The bad influence of Nietzsche on Western Thought was the whole idea of a 'subconscious'. There is no 'dark, feminine, chaotic,' side to cognition. Femininity is not an opposite of masculinity. Femininity is just the void. In people of great genius there is no separation between reason and emotion. Michelangelo I guess was the most 'Apollonian' artist, yet Michelangelo was a man of great and "irrational" melancholia. Yet this melancholy was rational and the exact same impulse as his art.

>Nietzsche's philosophy says perspective taking is better than making up systems
>Some psychologists now say this dichotomy is the main difference between a "feminine" and "masculine" way of thinking
Nietzsche is still labelled as a misogynist because of some random quotes, but wouldn't his way of thinking actually be pretty "feminine"? I'm using scare quotes because I don't know if this stuff actually exists.

Has his nightmare come true?
