In reality Nietszche was completely terrified and broken by the concept of the eternal return, read his girlfriend's book on him, remained fundamentlly within Schopenhaur's pessimist system his entire life, and became a neurotic recluse who withdrew from society and gainful employment, lead a sad and lonely life hiding in the hills complaining of migraines, until his brain cancer, or whatever it was, overcame him.

Because she had hundreds of hours of deep and meaningful conversations with Nietszche, was his sweetheart and confidant sounding board, to whom Nietzsche proposed marriage twice. Further the book was written while Nietzsche was still alive and isn't influenced by Nietzche's reception.

They are incredibly rare, I would even go so far as to say it is not worth your time looking, I might also add that the relative scarcity that produces said rarity should not be interpreted to mean a 'good' thing as well. IIRC, the guy she chose over Nietzsche ended up dying after falling off the side of a mountain or something to that effect.

call me a retard but i still don't fully understand the basis for his idea of eternal recurrence. is it really just a stupid baseless "what if" scenario he came up with while in the swiss alps like its a shitty black mirror episode? why does it terrify him so much? it would be like if i said "what if you are a schizophrenic just dreaming up your whole life! lol get spooked now!" why did he believe eternal recurrence is real or even likely?

>> No.22943133

>why does it terrify him so much?
Because he was a pessimist leading a miserable life suffering from ill health. Persistant migraines had forced him out of his job, society, prevented him from reading for more than five minutes at a time where previously his vocation was reading copius amounts of Greek and other material, and the thought occured to him that he may have to live and experience this for an eternity, and that horrified him. The 'demon' was what Nietzsche actually experienced, the 'angel' was a desideratum he never got to. He treated the eternal return as a horrific revelation and burden that he wanted to shield others from, a dark secret.

Nietzsche was very powerful. His convictions probably drastically alter his perceptions. That’s not a common ability, especially nowadays

The argument is that the universe is finite so eventually this exact same arrangement will be reached again, given enough time. But you could also reach eternal recurrence with infinite universe models like eternal inflation or simply a multiverse

okay sure, but there is no sort of evidence that his same consciousness will arise again to experience the same shit again. its a quite baseless and silly fear in my opinion so i don't know why he made up this scenario for himself to be afraid. i don't know why more people don't talk about how absolutely silly this eternal recurrence shit is.
