Nietzsche failed

[Anonymous No.21299043]

All his life he tried so hard to do without God, to be an atheist, to be enough for himself, but like Ahab, like Ivan, like Antigone, he failed utterly in his quest. And while the others are only made up characters, Nietzsche is the real life embodiment of the atheist: a failed one. Nietzsche was the modern Christ. And I am not talking about the hollywood version of atheism we have today, atheism is not the negation of the divine but it is prior to both the negation and the affirmation of God, to be outside of God and still remain. What a loser.

Idk anon I’ve been studying him for the better part of a year now and I feel the exact opposite. I actually read his books, essays and study though so our mileage probably differs.

"Also his hero-will hath he still to unlearn: an exalted one shall he be, and not only a sublime one:—the ether itself should raise him, the will-less one!
He hath subdued monsters, he hath solved enigmas. But he should also redeem his monsters and enigmas; into heavenly children should he transform them.
As yet hath his knowledge not learned to smile, and to be without jealousy; as yet hath his gushing passion not become calm in beauty.
Verily, not in satiety shall his longing cease and disappear, but in beauty! Gracefulness belongeth to the munificence of the magnanimous."

Nietzsche differentiated between:
- 'spider-god' (GM III:9; A:18) that tries to present oneself as good, but is actually deadly and long-term ruinous.
- and 'the devil' (BGE: 37; TSZ II: "Manly Prudence") aka Dionysus - that hurts you (BGE: 295), but actually means well, trying to make you to grow through pain.
The true savior is not Jesus, but the forthcoming "anti-Christ and anti-nihilist".

He failed because he literally spent doing nothing all his life.

Classical philology is like Bible Studies, but with Homer, Plato, and Thucydides as your scripture.
De facto it is priestly education, i.e. learning how to provide answers on life-meaning to the plebs.

"Suffering was it, and impotence—that created all backworlds; and the short madness of happiness, which only the greatest sufferer experienceth.
Weariness, which seeketh to get to the ultimate with one leap, with a death-leap; a poor ignorant weariness, unwilling even to will any longer: that created all Gods and backworlds.
Believe me, my brethren! It was the body which despaired of the body—it groped with the fingers of the infatuated spirit at the ultimate walls.
Believe me, my brethren! It was the body which despaired of the earth—it heard the bowels of existence speaking unto it.
And then it sought to get through the ultimate walls with its head—and not with its head only—into “the other world.”
But that “other world” is well concealed from man, that dehumanised, inhuman world, which is a celestial naught; and the bowels of existence do not speak unto man, except as man
<...>
A new pride taught me mine ego, and that teach I unto men: no longer to thrust one’s head into the sand of celestial things, but to carry it freely, a terrestrial head, which giveth meaning to the earth!
<...>
The sick and perishing—it was they who despised the body and the earth, and invented the heavenly world, and the redeeming blood-drops; but even those sweet and sad poisons they borrowed from the body and the earth!
From their misery they sought escape, and the stars were too remote for them. Then they sighed: “O that there were heavenly paths by which to steal into another existence and into happiness!” Then they contrived for themselves their by-paths and bloody draughts!
Beyond the sphere of their body and this earth they now fancied themselves transported, these ungrateful ones. But to what did they owe the convulsion and rapture of their transport? To their body and this earth."

It is the Christian disease that we have unfortunately. They never read Nietzsche or care to read him. They just like to be angry because their whole religion is built on resentment

I hate when pseud faggots gratuitously namedrop literary names to appear "cultured" or "knowledgeable", but it's actually very clear they don't know much about anything. Antigone? Really? Did you just finish reading Sophocles or something?
