This side of instinct Nietzsche did not see - the animal urge to Life.

Do you think “how to succeed” and “how to live” are the same question? Personally I’d say there’s an important difference, and while much can be said about the former, humans haven’t made much objective progress on the latter

Jung is the biggest pseudo-intellectual of all time. I was tempted to say Peterson is, but he wouldn’t be here without the original pseud. I read the Modern Library Basic Writings of Jung collection and was appalled by how he just makes shit up and then basks in his word salad bowl of dung as if he has insight into the nature of the human. Nietzsche btfo’s Jung before he even starts.

>>22334397
>Do you think “how to succeed” and “how to live” are the same question?
As long as you don't try to define success objectively (e.g. making money,) then yes.
Nietzsche failed purely on his own terms. He wasn't a superman. In fact he could barely function as a human being.

>>22334258
This. For some reason a lot of people assume he was some sort of right winger, and they take his criticism on socialism as proof that he was also critical of communism, but something people always miss is that he never criticized Marx or communism. If Nietzsche were alive today he would be a communist. Capitalism is slave morality.

>>22334291
>He does what Stirner did with flair
stop depreciating the value of Nietzsche by invoking Stirner and the 1 word redditism that has formed around him.

>If Nietzsche were alive today he would be a communist.
absolute goofyness.
>If something isnt x... it has to be y, right?
Only the goofiest interpretation would consider communism anything less then a slave morality of the highest order in the Nietzschean meaning of the term.

>>22334258
Everyone who reads Nietzsche understands him

>>22334657
What you understand to be "communism" is nothing but the Marxist-Leninist project of state socialism. This is not what Nietzsche was advocating. Nor, of course, was he an advocate of fascism. Pretty much the same thing when you look closely enough.

Nietzsche literarily (literally) described the übermensch as a cross between an aristocrat and an anarchist. An aristocrat without need for land ownership or servants.

>>22334663
If this were true, the state would have dissolved by now.

>>22334627
And its sum worth is as an overused meme. If just saying what people think is right is actually just what other people want them to think is right, that's something everyone already understands intuitively, but people filate themselves over their ability to state the obvious out loud. I have never seen anyone who invokes stirner go past this.
>>22334644
they are separate projects at their base. Their main overlap is that they both dont like how people think. And at that point, you could mention Augustine and Trotsky in the same breath as well.

>>22334675
the fact that you bring up fascism and assume I mean a particular bent of communism kinda implies you might be a direction brain.
An aristocrat can have land and servants if they want, or not if they dont. The essence is the ability and will to do as one likes, while here you are assuming a limit or necessary confines of what that is. A raider after going on an enterprise usually does exercise his power over others and areas, because they are all external objects like anything else.

>>22334689
No mention of his nominalism, his critique of Hegel, his critique of socialism, his critique of communism, his critique of essentialism, his critique of language, his critique of truth, his critique of religion, his critique of property rights, his critique of human rights, his proto-existentialism, his anti-egalitarianism. I’m guessing you haven’t read him.

>>22334725

>"saying what people think is right is actually just what other people want them to think is right"
No you little retard. What other people want has nothing to do with his views on universals or his critique of them. What you are trying to say is more applicable to Nietzsche than it is to Stirner, funnily enough.

>>22334371
>Readers of Aphorisms. The worst readers of aphorisms are the authors friends if they are intent on guessing back from the general to the particular instance to which the aphorism owes its origin; for with such pot-peeking they reduce the author’s whole effort to nothing; so that they deservedly gain, not a philosophic outlook or instruction, but-at best, or at worst—nothing more than the satisfaction of vulgar curiosity.

Nietzsche already btfo anyone who used his life to discount his philosophy. I recall him making a point of saying that he is not an example to be followed but can’t remember the book it was in.

again, you are bringing up particulars and slinging terms. communism inherently imposes limits to ones will by its communitarian nature being first instead of will. pre monarchal tribal aristocracy is anything but. people by their strengths resources and willingness rising to heights and gaining retainers and lands by their might and fall likewise. thats what áristos, elite, means.
>Not the point

>>22334812
Pedantic hair-splitting. Yes, Nietzsche wanted to erect new ideals for humanity. Stirner wanted to tear down ideals. If you don’t see how these two modes unify, you are a nigger.

Semi related to Nietzsche, but why the anglosphere has such a hard time understanding antihumanism? I've lost count of the times I've heard atheists or vegans calling themselves antihumanists because they don't think humans are special and therefor it's our moral duty to be the guardians of the world and take care of animals and the environment and so on. Don't they see the obvious contradiction in their way of thinking?

>>22335010
people of either of those proclivities, who aren't complete blithering retards who don't know the meaning of words, probably wouldnt use the term antihumanism. maybe anti anthrocentricism. and they would probably use humanistic sentiments to justify it.

That's because neither Marx nor Nietzsche read each other, if they were even aware of each other. Nietzsche was writing at a time before Marxism took real hold on academic philosophy, and Nietzsche himself was a philologist.
Nietzsche would not have been a communist because communism is destructive to creativity apropos of its equalizing nature. Nietzsche would have disagreed with the very idea that a communist state is desirable at all.

>>22334615
>redditism

>>22334122
Non-meme answer: Nietzsche is actually a good philosopher. The problem is that everyone who is introduced to him (notably all smug and probably lower tier educated) reference him as a way of saying they are right and everyone else is wrong without proving it because muh nihilism, muh neetchee said whatever I feel like is aktually important durduh and so on. Most of them also have probably never read all of his works and probably don't understand his works very well. As a result he is viewed as a philosopher more suited to angsty teens than a real one, which is unfair to him but a good characterization of his rabid followers.

His works, if they are correct, point out unsettling things about the nature of humanity. No one wants to believe that polite society, with all of it's "rationality" and "equality", is just a protective layer of conscienciousness placed overtop our more primal desires that are still very real. We are the apex predator after all. We like violence and think we are better than other people. Also his dramatic style makes people mad, as it doesn't uphold polite society.

Other philosophers be like:
"Before I endevor to elucidate the errors of X, I will first mention that I am in agreement with X on many issues such as blah blah and blah. Furthermore, I do find X to be a smart man a good person in his personal life. Now , I am afraid, my fellow gentlemen, that I must now turn to polemics if we are ever going to get to the bottom of the errors that have plagued us since his time"

Not him but Nietzsche is one of the few philosophers you can say that about and support from his writings. Nietzsche exists in interpretation as much if not more than he does in what he actually says. Which is an achievement people like Derrida, Heidegger and Baudrillard struggle with over their careers to either maintain or disavow.

Beyond Good and Evil Section 147

If Nietzsche were alive today he would be a chud and definitely not a communist. Most of the stuff that is assumed about Nietzsche is right. He was a racist anti-semite and a right-winger. The reason why this things are not considered true is because after the second world war he became a very controversial philosophers thanks to the Nazis and Hitler. So (((academics))) and (((Kaufmann))) tried to paint him as a misunderstood philosopher that were not a right-winger so that he could be read in the west. The best way to determine if a someone has not read a page of Nietzsche is if he says that Nietzsche would not have been a right-winger in modern times.

>>22336195
>Nietzsche would be right wing
kek is that why he calls Germans basedboys afraid of their own fairytales?

>>22336022
Yep. The ubermensch is just another meta narrative. Nietzsche ultimately didn't believe his own cope about willing power and accepting vitality and living in the present and so on, so he had to come up with another, more lasting cope, something that would only come in a distant future. There's simply no way out of nihilism. All you can do is cope.

>How is this cope?
If it weren't a cope, we wouldn't need an ubermensch. In thinking the ubermensch was a necessity to surpass nihilism, Nietzsche is tacitly admitting that the will to power of regular men is not enough to do it. It's just a distraction. Will to power is a way of keeping yourself busy not to confront nihilism. Kierkegaard was right. You either live to distract yourself or you confront existence. Nietzsche's cope is thinking humanity can distract itself with will to power until the ubermensch comes.

>>22336232

>>22336237
>Nietzsche is tacitly admitting that the will to power of regular men is not enough to do it. It'
Uh, I think you're defining Ubermensch weirdly. You seem to think it's a superior being coming in the future. That doesn't plug into Nietzsche's nonlinear timeline. Ubermensch are constantly happening, because they're just people who want to climb the mountain of truth and help others up it. There isn't one truth at the top, because the Ubermensch is about the process it takes to constantly remount your search. It's not a future goal after which everything gets better, it's just basically being a bro about everyone's constant cope.

>>22336251

>>22336256
Yes, an Ubermensch is the person who sets the hooks and rope ties to get shit up a mountain. Employ a translation dictionary. It's man's desire to be more than what we view as mere animals. Nietzsche also plays with Aristotle's theory that one is man or beast, calling such rope slingers, between man alone outside society (on the mountain) and animals, "philosophers" instead of either man or beast. It's kind of embarrassing to have to explain this to you.

>>22336251

>>22336264
I think you're confusing the ubermensch with what Nietzsche called free spirits. Nietzsche was clear that the ubermensch is something that has never happened and that it will come in the future.

>>22336309
He's clear the Ubermensch has never taken over the earth, but it's pretty clear he's saying it would take all of humanity stopping themselves from being sacrifices. Is that what you're talking about or do you have some reference other than
>Ich liebe die, welche nicht erst hinter den Sternen einen Grund suchen, unterzugehen und Opfer zu sein: sondern die sich der Erde opfern, dass die Erde einst des Übermenschen werde.

I found what you were talking about with your quote, and I think you know how out of context you had to bend that from the chapter being a railing against priests offering a great redeemer. It's a chapter about how the established religions are a grift for offering an ubermensch which never comes. That's why he says he wants to see the religious orders naked and winds up what they would look like naked with them offering a never coming future ubermensch redeemer.
I really hope you're trolling at this point because if you misread that chapter to be an argument against ubermenschen instead of against establishment grifting promises of such, you're retarded.

Yall are talking so much about the übermensch even though it was a small part of his philosophy. This tells me you don't really know as much about him as you would like to believe.

You know that to understand Nietzsche you need to learn between the lines, right? If you take his word literally you're never going to get him. It's honestly sad that I have to explain this to you.

Yes, but improving your English comprehension isn’t. Reread

Finding the commonalities of the two isn’t bad or hard. Why are you so dumb?

Are you saying what you read between the lines of the priests chapter was something other than I described? Your "explanation" has made nothing clearer.

He is hated by the very people he calls out directly in his works, and they respond as predictably as ever to him.

I donno. But 4 and 9 are lucky numbers in Japan

Not aware of when this was written but anything Jung wrote on Nietzsche or Hitler after WWII is invalid. He had to denounce what he had previously given praise to because muh 6 gorillion.

Yes, but this is his genius. I believe he purposely lied in some places and it's very obvious too (when he calls Jews and women superior). It worked 100%, Nietzsche is the only man who managed to outjew the Jews.

He's not. It's just that he's PY101 tier

Nietzsche is the perfect bait for pseuds, that’s why people always shit on the threads about him. It’s the perfect cope for people who think they’re hyper intelligent special boys in a world of sheep. Normally they’re people who read, at most, one of his books.. and maybe listened to some YT videos about him

>>22337166
What is a "YT video"? Mr. Special boy. I am sincerely asking. I do not know.

>>22334807
>I recall him making a point of saying that he is not an example to be followed
Uh, because he was an individualist. Like I said earlier, he was a failure on his own terms.

>>22336866
>But 4 and 9 are lucky numbers in Japan
>Anon refusing to be insulted by Japanese people sending him death threats
They're not, that's why they have second readings which allow you to not curse your baseball team

This criticism that he didn't live up to his philosophy and thus should be disregarded has always bothered me:
It isn't even true. It's made abundantly clear in Nietzsche's writings that he views art and creativity as the highest height that man can achieve, and Nietzsche was a revolutionary poet-philosopher - a true artist. He did accomplish his will to power.
>"His loathing of man, for the animal living by instinct, was too great."
He retroactively refutes Jung's critique when he said "I love the great despisers, for they are the great lovers"
This happens a lot when someone will decry someone as a hypocrite; what they accuse the person of not living up to is a misinterpretation of the accused's words - or it is a result of the person simply stuffing words in the accused's mouth. The classic example these days is Left vs. Right debates where one side accuses the other of hypocrisy because something they said contradicts their view of what (other side) is, despite the person never making any such claim.
Nietzsche also said that he was not an Ubermensch, nor was any man living at that time, nor that there would be any alive today. The Ubermensch is an ideal to strive towards, not something one already is.
The criticism boils down to the person imagining their own idealized version of what an Ubermensch is and then deriding Nietzsche for not living up to their own personal idea of what they think he should have been. It's absurd.

Here, this chapter is one of his best and in my opinion is the essence of his philosophy distilled in its purest form.

Key passages:
>What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an OVER-GOING and a DOWN-GOING.
>I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.
>I love the great despisers, because they are the great adorers, and arrows of longing for the other shore.
>I love him who desires not too many virtues. One virtue is more of a virtue than two, because it is more of a knot for one's destiny to cling to.
>I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goes he willingly over the bridge.
>I love him who is of a free spirit and a free heart: thus is his head only the bowels of his heart; his heart, however, causes his down-going.
>>Lo, I am a herald of the lightning, and a heavy drop out of the cloud: the lightning, however, is the SUPERMAN.
