Yeah. He says a lot of pretentious nothings in two minutes. I know. I heard. I spend a lot of time in nature, but i prefer to take it in for myself instead of making cheap pornography for teenagers impressed by frilly phrases with no actual meaning.

It's a fundamentally Schopenhauerian/Nietzschean outlook common among especially german artists, and you will find a flower from the same root in the works of Thomas Mann.

Hell no, Bauhaus, New Objectivity and Düsseldorf School of Photography all of these were Apollonian autists, totally opposite of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Even now German photography is soulless as fuck.

>What are we to make of a creation in which the routine activity is for organisms to be tearing others apart with teeth of all types—biting, grinding flesh, plant stalks, bones between molars, pushing the pulp greedily down the gullet with delight, incorporating its essence into one’s own organization, and then excreting with foul stench and gasses the residue. Everyone reaching out to incorporate others who are edible to him. The mosquitoes bloating themselves on blood, the maggots, the killer-bees attacking with a fury and a demonism, sharks continuing to tear and swallow while their own innards are being torn out—not to mention the daily dismemberment and slaughter in “natural” accidents of all types: an earthquake buries alive 70 thousand bodies in Peru, automobiles make a pyramid heap of over 50 thousand a year in the U.S. alone, a tidal wave washes over a quarter of a million in the Indian Ocean. Creation is a nightmare spectacular taking place on a planet that has been soaked for hundreds of millions of years in the blood of all its creatures. The soberest conclusion that we could make about what has actually been taking place on the planet for about three billion years is that it is being turned into a vast pit of fertilizer. But the sun distracts our attention, always baking the blood dry, making things grow over it, and with its warmth giving the hope that comes with the organism’s comfort and expansiveness. “Questo sol m’arde, e questo m’inna-more,” as Michelangelo put it.”

Sounds like you were filtered. De Maistre is regarded as one of the great French prose stylists and his view of nature is a classic example of 18th century Catholic reactionary pessimism. Nobody claimed that he says exactly what Herzog says, duh.
