>The people ITT saying Nietzsche
Cringe. He was an edgy midwit. The only distinguishing thing about him is that he was edgier than most people in 19th century Germany. He didn't have a single idea of worth (name one (1)) and is now utterly irrelevant given that most people are now more "progressive" and individualist than him. He was autistic, and also an incel, and—let's be honest—if we were alive today he would probably watch anime and be a tranny.

Even though I disagree with many of the things Nietzsche says, I still think all his insight and criticism is praiseworthy.

Also, tried to keep out religion-founders like Laozi and Siddhartha Gauthama. The play field wouldn't be fair if they were allowed in.

Was divided between Schopenhauer and Jakob Bohme. I still think Bohme was more influential, but I kept Schopenhauer because he's more famous. No, I don't this is a good parameter.

Are you a fucking idiot? How can you call other people midwit with your cumbrain? Progressivism is social, and thus inherently collectivist. The progressives espouse a moral framework which Nietzsche called slave morality, and it is the dominant morality in the west. If anything, Nietzche is more relevant now than ever. You are either moronic or a brilliant baiter.
