>>10969923
>He that speaks here, conversely, has done nothing so far but reflect: a philosopher and solitary by instinct, who has found his advantage in standing aside and outside, in patience, in procrastination, in staying behind; as a spirit of daring and experiment that has already lost its way once in every labyrinth of the future; as a soothsayer-bird spirit who looks back when relating what will come; as the first perfect nihilist of Europe who, however, has even now lived through the whole of nihilism, to the end, leaving it behind, outside himself.

>On the genesis of the nihilist:
>It is only late that one musters the courage for what one really knows. That I have hitherto been a thorough-going nihilist, I have admitted to myself only recently: the energy and radicalism with which I advanced as a nihilist deceived me about this basic fact. When one moves toward a goal it seems impossible that "goal-lessness as such" is the principle of our faith.

A theme present can mean the dominant theme, spud. The most famous passages from Hamlet are about death, sin, afterlife, and time. Even the biggest of pseuds who've only read a single soliloquy know it's about death.

"Wow, you clearly have misunderstood Nietzche because you didn't come to the same conclusion that I did"

I am so sick of seeing this, how can someone be revered as mystically profound while almost everyone that reads him forms a different understanding. If this applies to you then, Newsflash asshole! Nietzche has been interpreted differently this entire goddamn time!

Try bringing a girl back to your dumpster fire of a room so you can watch the respect drain from her eyes.

Peterson says it in retort to the activist students that waste their time on social justice when they cannot even hold down a job or keep their own rooms clean. It's a metaphor for 'sort yourself out first before trying to change the world' except cleaning your room is a good thing anyway.
