The endgame for anyone consistently practicing his philosophy is getting themselves killed.

"To everyone I really care about, I wish suffering, desolation, disease, abuse, indignities, the deep self-contempt, the torture of lack of self-confidence, and the disgrace of the defeated."

What did Nietzsche mean by that?

>Life no argument.- We have arranged for ourselves a world in which we can live-by positing bodies, lines, planes, causes and effects, motion and rest, form and content; without these articles of faith nobody now could endure life. But that does not prove--them. Life is no argument. The conditions of life might include error.

Holy...

Is the ubermensch an ontological concept?

What are his politics? Are his politics relevant to the rest of his thinking or something that can be extracted out without changing his base ideas?

He's right about everything on genealogy of morals. Morality is a tool in order to assert your will to power and control.

That said, how should one judge morality? Because morals are still good for the greater good regardless.

Can someone explain to me better the Nietzsche’s stace on the creation of values?
I've been trying to read and re-read some stuff and he seems to be all over the place when it comes to this and leaves no direct explaination to this, imo.

From what i understood, Nietzsche wanted us, as individuals, to revise all our values, accept that they are as subjective as it gets, no matter what and pick the ones that are a positive affirmation of our desires. In other words, we shouldnt accept values thinking they have some sort of objective or imperative nature in them since that would only lead to the inevitable realisation that they are value-less and so we depose them, restraining us from affirming them since they have no objective value. On the other hand, subjective values are presistant even in the face of judgement since their objects may or may not be desirable

Did i get this right? I honestly thought he would really have a set of values of his that would work like some imperative to us, but from this interpretation of mine i feel like two people from diferent cultures/traditions would read him, understand him in the same way and yet still become hateful enemies.
