it doesn't seem like people made much out of it, though. same thing with Taipei.

um i made a collage out of naked-people-with-books-thread if anyone is actually compiling these and using them in a card
idk if it's some sort of breach of trust or 'netiquette' to use them but i can post them as soon as someone is making a card if someone is making an actual card or something

"'What! Are you dead already?' I said to him.
And he then: 'How my body stands in the world
I do not know. So privileged is this rim

of Ptolomea, that often souls fall to it
before dark Atropos has cut their thread.
And that you may more willingly free my spirit

of this glaze of frozen tears that shrouds my face,
I will tell you this: when a soul betrays as I did,
it falls from flesh, and a demon takes its place,

ruling the body till its time is spent.
The ruined soul rains down into this cistern.
So I believe, there is still evident

in the world above, all that is fair and mortal
of this black shade who winters here behind me.
If you have only recently crossed the portal

from that sweet world, you surely must have known
his body: Branca D'Oria is its name,
and many years have passed since he rained down.'"
more fitting for Hitchens imo but he's actually dead now

What does lit think of this?

Do you ever have moments where, simply put, you'd prefer to erase your existence?
This isn't angsty language for suicide, but simply where you consider yourself to be at a high point of enjoyment.

After all, what's to fear in not existing?

>where some people are talented and other not
Dude, you´ve got to read it carefully. He doesn´t make any categorical distinction between the "talented" and those who are not. He says, without making any distinction between the various kinds of readers, that "your true nature lies, not concealed deep within you, but immeasurably high above you", i.e. that the potential is there for everyone. It is true that the great majority does nothing to develop this potential, but this isn´t due to any intrinsic weakness, but - laziness. That is, anyone can reap the benefits of education proper if he is willing to walk the walk (which admittedly takes a lot of dedication).

And personally I find it wonderful, immensely uplifting and more humane than any other of Nietzsche´s writings. But that may be just me.

Your grasp on his exalted philosophy is truly abysmal.
