What influence has Nietzsche had on you?

I got way more from the philosophers that read him

If you have to read Nietzsche to realize that Trump is a caricature villain then I have some bad news for you.

[Anonymous No.9706241]

none. he makes morally truth-apt claims, unfalsifiable statements, and re-defines words to try to shoehorn opinions into facts. he strokes the ego of a person with a secular predisposition in the same exact way kierkegaard strokes the ego of someone with a monotheistic predisposition. he contributed nothing to the field, only made aspects of the field already expanded upon by hume accessible to normals. literally the dawkins of his time.

the YA undergrad patrol will be on my ass any moment, though.

[Anonymous No.9706242]

I'll admit that I 'read' Nietzsche and had a really superficial understanding of him
He did influence me in some way but that could be confirmation bias

[Anonymous No.9706258]

I will prevail trough my will, which will result in a better world for me and the people I choose to help and gift my passion to.

so, stirner?

[Anonymous No.9706277]

none so far, beyond good and evil read like a bunch of very quotable unconnected thoughts and i couldn't extract much from it overall, just that he thought different climates created different races with different temperaments.

should go back to it at some point when i have more time maybe. or maybe not

[Anonymous No.9706308]

None because I realized very quickly that engaging with Hegel and Heidegger was more important than reading the notable quotables of some unstable manchild rebelling against Wagner and his being cucked by Paul Reeeeeeeeeeee.

[Anonymous No.9706337]

>>9706308

surely then you've read the 1,000+ pages that heidegger wrote on nietzsche

[Anonymous No.9706367]

He made me realise a life without conflict would be pretty boring, but that's about it. I didn't find much originality in his critique of religion.

[Anonymous No.9706371]

>>9706277
The genealogy of morals was a nice breakdown of societal ideology and was a greater unintentional critique of capitalism than Marx. But I'm just a cynical asshole who reads Nietzsche to cement my amorality

[Anonymous No.9706377]

If I had not read him I would probably still be a NEET
But I think wellbutrin played an important rol in that too

[Anonymous No.9706500]

>>9706218
He taught me to find meaning and perseverance through suffering. Suffering validates existence. I learned that I don't need to find fulfillment through any team identity, be it family, religion, nation, or political party. I was severely codependent for most of my life, you see. And, of course, the will to power and a rejection of weakness. Unfortunately, people who speak to me about 'deeper things' all think I'm evil, when I'm just being realistic. I've read Beyond Good and Evil and Genealogy of Morals, and starting Thus Spake today

[Anonymous No.9706564]

>>9706337
I read a bit (also Heidegger on Kant is interesting), but anyone with half a brain knows that Heidegger is the philosopher you need to come to terms with, not Nietzsche.

Armchair history.

[Anonymous No.9707217]

He made me realize that the ideal human is strong, joyful, evil and light-footed, not that I am these things, but it's a good compass. Especially when you're about to get caught up in world-blaming or autistic reactionary bullshit.

and don't you tell me "use will to repair it" because my meta-will is also broken etc ad infinitum

give up, but that's practically a tautology

[Anonymous No.9707263]

>>9706236
This. But Deleuze's reading even more than Heidegger's. Also Klossowski's reading (dedicated to Deleuze). Of course things only really become clear and precise once Deleuze works with Guattari, as weird as that may sound.

he affirmed and elevated desire, happiness, pleasure, and living in the world rather than waiting or seeking a world elsewhere or yet to come. living with less blame, anger and resentment.

Understand that your inclination or interest to do something about your 'broken will' is evidence of its functioning foundation. There is always hope, and a damning thing it is .

[Anonymous No.9707672]

None. I read a ton of philosophy, but I never change the way I live my life.

[Anonymous No.9707716]

The understandment that in a writer character is more valuable than validity; or, put simply, that ethos > logos. This is to say that I rarely disagree with what Nietzsche is saying on a moral or rhetoric level, but I still cannot stand him.

I go clubbing every night.

Yes, I drink as well. Getting shitfaced is Dionysian and Nietzsche advocated reading him against the grain so I'll booze it up in spite of him.

[Anonymous No.9708690]

>>9707374
Not necessarily. Nietzsche's critical breaking-down-everything side is way more persuasive than his lukewarm meme of a solution to it.

>>9708631
You realise Nietzsche was extremely anti-alcohol, right? He consider it last man slave tier, a narcotic to make the plebs docile in their faiths rather than strive for greatness.

[Anonymous No.9708721]

Did you read my post. I'm reading him against the grain. Exactly what he wanted. Plus Dionysus is literally the god of wine, so...

It's a battle of the wills. I'm sure me and my girl friends will triump over Nietzsche. Nietzsche couldn't even get laid.

"Islam says yes to life...The rare and luxurious Moorish life!...I don't know how a German could even feel Christian. War to the knife with Rome! Peace and friendship with Islam!" - Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher

Nothing.

Nothing, again.

Nothing: The drooling of subjective immaturity that belongs to only children in believing in themselves, so they can fine tune their senses to a "superhuman" level to carry into adulthood, but never capturing the ideal, as no one can capture it;

That if Wagner wasn't a real musician, but an actor, - all of his heirs, whether they acknowledge it, or not, or even know him, or are even in a different medium, are actors as well, - all claiming "'god' is not dead, 'god' is in my art, - if you look closely enough";

And examine away, at adults who feed off an interpreter to be altruistic in finding a profound meaning in something that you could somehow fap to temporarily, and call it "love", and ponder all its meanings;

what is the meaning of wiping your ass with your fingers, when you have rolls of toilet paper in the cabinet, and in your other hand;

Identity politics, and proper context for the sublimity, - if your analysis was off for the "genius", even if you were inductive, and then deductive;


-------
Every Dionysus will conduct music with a dance, and they do not need intoxicants; it's in their blood, - serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, etc . . . mania that is well ordered;

A freak of counterpoint, and fugues;

The flee, and chase of the muse(s) in the "abyss".

------
But nevermind the fatalistic nothing; my interpretation is off, and yours is most likely the correct choice.

Why do you want to fix it? Isn't that a will?

[Anonymous No.9709326]

>>9707248
If you have no will you are less than human, just animal or ID acting on impulses. You think you have a vague, fuzzy vision of will, but the abstraction escapes you? How can you even define will without The Will?

Surely you would know if you had no will. Or rather you would be unable to identify a lack of will, for what would allow the effort to even have such an idea?
