Genealogy of Morals is probably my favorite. GOAT philosopher.

Here's a rare Nietzsche

What are some essential reads regarding philosophy?

I never read Mr. Walrus man, but isn't his most famous work just another fictional novel?

>It takes a goddamn Superman to meet all the expectations put upon the celebrity figure nowadays

The true Ubermensch would take a look around himself, at the surroundings of the Information Age, and declare with truth,

"This is not right."

Unless we are missing something, it is a shame that the bad still resides within Being-in-the-world. Silencing it is a disgusting non-cure. Disregarding these words and not-changing is worse. Allowing it to fester like this is terrible. How could you?

ITT People get meta and do not add to the discussion anything but their up-turned chins. Also, his free will argument in the beginning of B G&E is easily debunkable but I'm not typing that again

>There can be little doubt that Nietzsche is the most important figure in modern atheism, but you would never know it from reading the current crop of unbelievers, who rarely cite his arguments or even mention him. Today’s atheists cultivate a broad ignorance of the history of the ideas they fervently preach, and there are many reasons why they might prefer that the 19th-century German thinker be consigned to the memory hole. With few exceptions, contemporary atheists are earnest and militant liberals. Awkwardly, Nietzsche pointed out that liberal values derive from Jewish and Christian monotheism, and rejected these values for that very reason. There is no basis—whether in logic or history—for the prevailing notion that atheism and liberalism go together. Illustrating this fact, Nietzsche can only be an embarrassment for atheists today. Worse, they can’t help dimly suspecting they embody precisely the kind of pious freethinker that Nietzsche despised and mocked: loud in their mawkish reverence for humanity, and stridently censorious of any criticism of liberal hopes.
