Rise of the Planet of the Bugmen

[Anonymous No.14721805]

Mankind is devolving into a bug-like species caused by a cocktail of degenerate tendencies in late stage capitalism. Artificial sweeteners, plastic bottles, excessive onions-consumption and endless hours in front of the internet without proper physical activity is causing morphological changes to men: they are becoming flabby and effeminate looking.

Their values have evolved to scorn religion and the folk culture of one's forefathers, and instead it embraces obscene and child-like entertainment on Netflix and a mindless devotion to Scientism - the cheap psychedelic awe of gazing into astronomical photographs and reading popularizations of quantum mechanics replaces the Bugman's need for serious philosophical meditation on metaphysical principles.

Nietzsche warned us of the Bugmen who would inhabit the cities in the twilight days of western civilization. In Thus Spake Zarathustra he describes the Bugman in great detail:

I see and have seen worse things, and divers things so hideous, that I should neither like to speak of all matters, nor even keep silent about some of them: namely, men who lack everything, except that they have too much of one thing—men who are nothing more than a big eye, or a big mouth, or a big belly, or something else big,—reversed cripples, I call such men.

And when I came out of my solitude, and for the first time passed over this bridge, then I could not trust mine eyes, but looked again and again, and said at last: "That is an ear! An ear as big as a man!" I looked still more attentively—and actually there did move under the ear something that was pitiably small and poor and slim. And in truth this immense ear was perched on a small thin stalk—the stalk, however, was a man! A person putting a glass to his eyes, could even recognise further a small envious countenance, and also that a bloated soullet dangled at the stalk. The people told me, however, that the big ear was not only a man, but a great man, a genius. But I never believed in the people when they spake of great men—and I hold to my belief that it was a reversed cripple, who had too little of everything, and too much of one thing.

He saw the thing the shell of gray paper had concealed.
Horror. The spiral birth factory, stepped terraces of the hatching cells, blind jaws of the unborn moving ceaselessly, the staged progress from egg to larva, near-wasp, wasp. In his mind's eye, a kind of time-lapse photography took place, re vealing the thing as the biological equivalent of a machine gun, hideous in its perfection. Alien.

Don't these types of scientific queries raise metaphysical questions? Should we delude ourselves into asking the same questions over and over without any new data? Philosophy would be a metaphysical mess if we still thought the sun revolved around us.

>The last man (German: Letzter Mensch) is a term used by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra to describe the antithesis of his theorized superior being, the Übermensch, whose imminent appearance is heralded by Zarathustra. The last man is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security.

>The last man's first appearance is in "Zarathustra's Prologue." According to Nietzsche, the last man is the goal that modern society and Western civilization have apparently set for themselves. After having unsuccessfully attempted to get the populace to accept the Übermensch as the goal of society, Zarathustra confronts them with a goal so disgusting that he assumes that it will revolt them.[1] Zarathustra fails in this attempt, and instead of repelling and manipulating the populace into pursuing the goal of the Übermensch, the populace take Zarathustra literally and choose the "disgusting" goal of becoming the last men. This decision leaves Zarathustra disheartened and disappointed.

That’s not even the relevant passage from TSZ about the Last Men. That passage you posted is Nietzsche poking fun at the idea of geniuses. It’s right there.

Here’s the relevant passage about the Last Men:

Alas! There comes the time when man will no longer give birth to any star. Alas! There comes the time of the most despicable man, who can no longer despise himself.

Lo! I show you the Last Man.

"What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?" -- so asks the Last Man, and blinks.

The earth has become small, and on it hops the Last Man, who makes everything small. His species is ineradicable as the flea; the Last Man lives longest.

"We have discovered happiness" -- say the Last Men, and they blink.

They have left the regions where it is hard to live; for they need warmth. One still loves one's neighbor and rubs against him; for one needs warmth.

Turning ill and being distrustful, they consider sinful: they walk warily. He is a fool who still stumbles over stones or men!

A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And much poison at the end for a pleasant death.

One still works, for work is a pastime. But one is careful lest the pastime should hurt one.

One no longer becomes poor or rich; both are too burdensome. Who still wants to rule? Who still wants to obey? Both are too burdensome.

No shepherd, and one herd! Everyone wants the same; everyone is the same: he who feels differently goes voluntarily into the madhouse.

"Formerly all the world was insane," -- say the subtlest of them, and they blink.

They are clever and know all that has happened: so there is no end to their derision. People still quarrel, but are soon reconciled -- otherwise it upsets their stomachs.

They have their little pleasures for the day, and their little pleasures for the night, but they have a regard for health.

"We have discovered happiness," -- say the Last Men, and they blink.

Soulless animalistic humans, essentially driven entirely by their base material desires for money and cooming.

Then there's the Psychics, having a soul but lacking the divine spirit, they can achieve a lower salvation, but depending on their actions in life and whether or not they embraced the faith they might be consigned to destruction like Hylics.

Then there's the Pneumatic elect, those possessing the divine spirit, they're guaranteed to achieve salvation and will ascend to be with the Father.

There isn't. The identity is based on nothing besides a string of photos of people you've never met, which are photoshopped no less, who for all you know have nothing in common personality-wise. You don't know the intention of the photos or what anyone in them is thinking before and after they're taken. Youtube videos are also disingenuous ways of building caricatures for the same reasons and because everyone on the platform is acting since they monetize the videos and want to appeal to the main demographic, which is children. On top of this, most of the criticisms are just absurd, like finding a problem with people being enthusiastic about stuff or having frivolous hobbies.

I think they're arguing that every school of metaphysical philosophy has been complicated, or drastically changed by scientific discovery, so what's the use in becoming cemented into a school of metaphysical thinking. I see the problem you're getting at here though, they all worded this in a really shitty way.

The photos are irrelevant, what matters is that many people are truly like this in modern life.

Completely agree, these memes are at best a philosophical argument against materialism, in which case, just call it that, or, superficial criticisms over past-times and interest in popular media. Everybody has a downtime activity, they waste theirs on Nintendo games, you waste yours criticising those that do.

lol left side is people reciting their cultural heritage while midwits think it reflects their scientific contributions. their scientific contributions brought them fame because of it's utility, their philosophical musings were old timey popsci.

This. The image is committing a huge anachronism.

The difference is, people on the left actually contributed to science, perhaps precisely because of their point of view.

Kek, like that's a counter argument. Darwin's theory of natural selection was just a concept too anon.

There's some really funny about someone discrediting the man that first posited the word meme in defence of a shitty meme that barely works as a concept.

The fact that all the salty bugmen are coming out of the closet ITT is testament that the meme is quite effective.

I think we are indeed approaching the world’s smallest worry. “Look how wide their mouths are!” Perhaps the strangest piece of evidence I can imagine for society’s downfall. Truly you should reflect on Nietzsche’ words (if reflection is something that comes to you) that what perverts the soul is ressentiment. You all like to quote Nietzsche when he agrees with you, when he sounds like the underground man, but what about when he’s in a lighter mood? What about the following:


“Lift up your hearts, my brothers, high, higher! And for my sake don't forget your legs! Raise up your legs, you fine dancers, and better yet, stand on your heads!”
“This crown of the man who laughs, this crown wreathed with roses—I have placed this crown on myself. I speak out my holy laughter to myself. Today I found no one else strong enough for that.”
“Zarathustra the dancer, Zarathustra the light hearted, who beckons with his wings, a man ready to fly, hailing all birds, prepared and ready, a careless and blessed man.”
“Zarathustra the truth−teller, Zarathustra the true laugher, not an impatient man, not a man of absolutes, someone who loves jumps and leaps to the side—I placed the crown on myself!”
“This crown of the laughing man, this crown of rose wreaths: my brothers I throw this crown to you! Laughter I declare sacred: you higher men, for my sake learn to laugh!”

And please, if you are going to call me a bugman, at the very least use your own words. It looks poorly when you use stream your diction from the web.

>He saw the thing the shell of gray paper had concealed.
>Horror. The spiral birth factory, stepped terraces of the hatching cells, blind jaws of the unborn moving ceaselessly, the staged progress from egg to larva, near-wasp, wasp. In his mind's eye, a kind of time-lapse photography took place, re vealing the thing as the biological equivalent of a machine gun, hideous in its perfection. Alien.

On what page can I find that passage?
