Did Aristotle really say that?

>>19600601
More or less, yeah. It's lightly paraphrased but accurate.

>>19600582
Nietzsche is such a meme. He should have stuck to stuff like Birth of Tragedy

>>19600582
Sounds pretty based.

>>19600601
This is some translation

>>19600582
You are not ready for him. Hide it all away for now, litli

>>19600582
oh god this guy is a collection of semi-retarded meaningless quotes
what does that even mean? such bullshit

>>19600582
Do you even know what he means? Of course you don't, you learned about him through a Jordan Peterson youtube video.

>>19600620
The basement dwelling obsessive anarcho communist vehemently defending Nietzsche will never not be funny to me

>>19600997
Because you don’t read books.

>>19600993
Do you know what it means?

>>19600620
The way people use this quote nowadays is so fucking cringe
He was trying to point out that NO ONE truly likes solitude, and now some autist on Facebook or Instagram posts this quote thinking that he’s le sigma ubermensch because he thinks he likes to be alone

>>19601013
ironic coming from yourself

>>19601023
i cant help but feel like anyone shit enough to post it doesn't actually "like" solitude, they just dont have much of a choice, and/or their experience with social situations is one laced with mockery and coldness

>>19601021
I have a much better idea than someone who thinks a genuine philosophical assertion is "cringe."

>>19601041
>genuine philosophical assertion
It's just some thing some guy said. A kind of dumb metaphor. That's all it is

>>19601047
>a world renowned philosopher is "some guy"
You actually ARE from youtube, aren't you?

>>19601050
Yes he is just some guy.

>>19601054
His credentials surpass yours.

>>19601056
Nietzsche kind of just says shit with no backing.
His credentials are like that of a poet or artist, not trustworthy.
If you don’t buy into his bullshit he doesn’t work on you and it’s easier to see how batshit his claims are.
Stop

>>19601074
You got filtered. It's okay.

>>19600582
Love seeing all these chuds being filtered by Nietzsche. Thats oke only a few can be king.

>>19601025
No, not at all.

>>19601023
I enjoy the company of others, but have grown quite comfortable in solitude. I understand the meaning of the quote, but I also understand my needs.

>>19601056
I don't care about credentials. There are things which can prove themselves with undeniable results and there are things you have to just assess as "something some guy said". That is why I like 4chan, it mocks the entire idea of credentials.

>>19601056
So we just blindly accept everything he say because he’s famous?

>>19601123
Of course the tranny cam girl commie who hates God likes Nietzsche

>>19601130
>So we just blindly accept everything he say because he’s famous?
Yes, and by we I mean midwits like you.

>>19600582
"Man makes himself anew in language & language anew in man. Neither the one nor the other are conscious of this act, yet it determines consciousness itself & transforms everything before & after. Language is the only way to reach into the past & change it: a change that is simultaneously gain & loss."

>>19601198
What?
You’re the only that says Nietzsche is right because of his credentials, when he was clearly talking out of his ass. Philosophers are just failed poets, they’re not special.

>>19600582
This sounds like something written by a 13 year old who watches Rick and Morty.

>>19601272
Give us a grown up big boy quote you enjoy or shut the fuck up, retard.

>>19601013
I do, you just need to get over your extensive personal insecurities and desperation for attention

>>19601272
kek

>>19601250
>Philosophers are just failed poets, they’re not special
Nietzsche was a poet and a philologist though

>>19600582
> not even getting to the total destruction of Socrates the goody-goody as a sanctimonious asshat burning with an inner rage
> not even experiencing the first time a philosopher took physical ugliness outside the realm of criminological observations and legitimized it as having potent psychological explanatory power

>>19601439
>insecurities
?
No, I was just identifying your lack understanding of Nietzsche here >>19600997
it’s not uncommon for anarchists to adopt Nietzsche as an honorary anarchist. He does describe a future human that could very well come out of the free world communists dream of. He does say the Übermensch is kind of cross between an aristocrat and an anarchist. Socialists take the critique in stride

>>19601656
Nietzsche hated socialism, you absolute monkey

>>19601023
>He was trying to point out that NO ONE truly likes solitude
Shit take. "wild beasts" and "gods" refer to archetypes that rare humans occasionally embody.

To live is to cringe, to be based is to find some meaning in the cringe

>>19602464
Life as will to non-cringe.

Shakespeare did it better. :^)

>>19601511
A bad one

>>19602599
His poetry was okay, but he was a respected philologist.

>>19600614
>He should have stuck to stuff like Birth of Tragedy

This is legitimately his most solid work.

>>19600582
based

>>19602620
It’s hard to judge translated German. It probably was good though. Hobbes’ and Emerson’s poetry was also good.

>>19600582
>>19600620
What if I just like being alone because no one is breathing down on my neck?

>>19602718
If you want to be alone the quote doesn’t apply.
If you want to live alone though

>>19601123
> I enjoy the company of others, but have grown quite comfortable in solitude.
Cope for not being able to get pussy. I see why you like NEETcel.

>>19601023
Close but no cigar, the quote means that to supply life's wants and necessities a man must live in a community, he is after all a political animal, and that the only things in this world that need no other men to live are savage beasts like bears and the Gods whom need not the same necessities as men, it's not about enjoying company, I doubt Aristotle himself wasn't the greatest fan of the Macedonians he lived with, but they kept him alive and supplied with drink at least.
