Well, it depends.
It´s hot, humid and sunny where i live, Guayaquil, which is by the coast.
Up in the Andes is colder, like in the capital, Quito, though still mostly sunny.
It´s nicer in the Andes i´d say

Nice. Any more Nietzsche you're planning to read ? Genealogy of Morals is great because it's really easy to understand the underlying themes and thesis put forth by Nietzsche, especially about bad consciousness.

Reading Plato rn, I wish he was half as clear tb'h

I've read almost everything by Nietzsche.

Only now am I reading On the Genealogy of Morals & Untimely Meditations. I wouldn't recommend working backwards like I did though.
