i don´t worship humans but i give it merit and respect, specially if they did something oustanding, maybe Neetsche did this to put a trap for midwits

i think you´re just trying to "grandiose" mundane things of life like having a family, maybe because you feel like having one will be enough to give purpose to your pathetic life, i will never think of someone raising a family is something that belong to heroism because there´s no danger in having a family, specially if you´re a man, you just a meet a woman who shares the sames values as you and both agreed to have a child, then you raise your child, you´re just following the easiest path of life to bring fulfillment to your pathetic life, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly, all have families
it´s mediocrity at its finest specially in this present age of superpopulation that plagues the world

>Let us face ourselves. We are Hyperboreans; we know very well how far off we live. 'Neither by land nor by sea will you find the way to the Hyperboreans'—Pindar already knew this about us. Beyond the north, ice, and death—our life, our happiness. We have discovered happiness, we know the way, we have found the exit out of the labyrinth of thousands of years. Who else has found it? Modern man perhaps? 'I have got lost; I am everything that has got lost,' sighs modern man. This modernity was our sickness: lazy peace, cowardly compromise, the whole virtuous uncleanliness of the modern Yes and No. … Rather live in the ice than among modern virtues and other south winds! We were intrepid enough, we spared neither ourselves nor others; but for a long time we did not know where to turn with our intrepidity. We became gloomy, we were called fatalists. Our fatum—abundance, tension, the damming of strength. We thirsted for lightning and deeds and were most remote from the happiness of the weakling, 'resignation.' In our atmosphere was a thunderstorm; the nature we are became dark—for we saw no way. Formula for our happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal

i am a midwit so i could never go too far with philosophy. fortunately i have a good groundwork and know a decent bit about music and math

i will teach him to read from a young age as well as how to read at a higher level.

When he asks me about the existence of god i will tell him i dont know. i will teach him the gods of the old and hand him the books of all the abrahamic religions and that it's up for him to decide.

I will instill in him an early love for music composition and theory. he will be playing lizst by the age of 10.

i will teach him algebra at an early age, since it can actually be understood by kids at a much younger age and schools are just slow.

i will teach him how to think, tell him there are no absolutes in the world and that he should question everything that can be questioned

and of course, i will teach him the overman

What does he mean by "downgoing"?
I search it up and I get different answers all the time.

Is a downgoer someone who is a humble person who lives a modest life— and an overgoer someone who is an over achiever and say, strives for ideals?

Does it depend on context, wat?

I've read this and could highly suggest it!
Although it's not a boon per se but rather a collection of lectures, you might need to focus more in order to absorb the fast-paced amount of info provided.
If you ever toyed with the idea of getting into Islam, just read his lecture on Mohammed, you won't ever consider that idea again.

Is an ubermensch just a go-getter ?

Who /Niezsche/ here? Gentle reminder that this guy BTFO'd Christcuckery, inspired the religion of Thelema, was the main inspiration of Evola and also the root of all postmodern philosophy, including feminist theory.

He inspired both Anarchists like Emma Goldman and Fascists like Benito Mussolini, reactionaries like Evola and progressives like Foucalt. He was a protean figure without comparison in history.

is ecce homo any good?

also general nash thread 2bh

This is my board these are my people

Hey guys OP here, and you do know Nietzsche was in exile most of his life depressed because none of his books were ever popular until long after he died (the Van Goth effect). But anyways I was just wondering if anybody had some tips the only real thing the internets told me about the publishing business is GET A LIT AGENT, and write something great, and the second one is pretty straightforward.

DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT? THAT I LIKE TO TELL WACKY JOKES NOW AND AGAIN?

Hi /lit/
