Not sure, I'd be all like

There is a city Pera in the midst of wine-dark Tuphos,
Fair and fruitful, filthy all about, possessing nothing,
Into which no foolish parasite ever sails,
Nor any playboy who delights in a whore's ass,
But it produces thyme, garlic, figs, and bread,
For which the citizens do not war with each other,
Nor do they possess arms, to get cash or fame.

Nietzsche was way too timid and introverted. He would have made a horrible leader/king. He has the philosopher part down just not a king.

Obligatory pic.

No, I would not make a good philosopher king. But I might make a good neo-tribal philosopher chieftain or elder someday.

doesn't this kind of imply that aristotle's game is an ideal?

>> No.3538636

>>3538615
Yeah. Aristotle talks a good game but he couldn't take it to the real hoop if his life depended on it. We never get to see the ideal form spoken of.

I'm not qualified to judge the answer to that question with regards to myself.

Probably not though; I'm still subject to intense bouts of passion, and don't trust my human-heartedness.
