Nietzche. I despise this pseudo-intellectual lying Polish prick more than any other.

>WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER!
Love your enemies and turn the other cheek.
>NOOOOOOOOO, NOT LIKE THAT! SLAVE MORALITY!

>ultimate truth that everything in existence orients its own meaning towards? that's NIHILISM! YOU DONT BELIEVE IN MEANING.

>nothing except my fee fees are real? now THAT'S deep.

*contradicts self*

>Christianity is why everything is gay now, not the explicitly pro democratic, proto-socialist (Babeuf) anti Christian Enlightenment

Wow it’s so crazy how redditors keep coming to this conclusion….

Do you respect religious writers? Why or why not?

>Quit being such a bitch, that is what Nietzsche boils down to.
Nietzsche was a little bitch himself who had a mental breakdown over a horse getting beaten and deliberately infected himself with syphilis from a prostitute (the only time he had sex btw) because people were opposed to pointlessly fucking in late 1800s.

>THE ABYSS BRO
ultimate pseud shit. There's nothing terrifying about doing a little introspection and contemplation, unless you're an NPC.

>how to be happy
>you must suffer and do huge effort doing so
all philosophy of life and self-help literature in summary, yet nobody has figured out any satisfactory answer to this basic stupidity at the heart of it. inb4

Just started reading Daybreak and its more reddit then I was expecting:

5.
Be grateful!
- The greatest accomplishment of past mankind is that we
no longer have to live in continual fear of wild animals, of
barbarians, of gods and of our own dreams.

>modern civilization is... LE GOOD!

6.
The conjurer and his opposite.
- What is astonishing in the realm of
science is the opposite of what is astonishing in the art of the
conjurer. For the latter wants to persuade us to see a very simple
causality where in truth a very complicated causality is at work.
Science, on the contrary, compels us to abandon belief in simple
causalities precisely where everything seems so easy to comprehend
and we are the fools of appearance. The 'simplest' things are very
complicated - a fact at which one can never cease to marvel!

>Magic isn't real and I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE

7.
Learning to feel differently about space.
- Is it the real things or the
imaginary things which have contributed most to human happiness?
What is certain is that the extent of the space between the highest
happiness and the deepest unhappiness has been produced only
with the aid of the imaginary things. This kind of feeling of space is,
consequently, being continually reduced under the influence of
science: just as science has taught us, and continues to teach us, to
feel that the earth is small and the solar-system itself no more than a
point.

>tfw you realize your just a sack of meat on a heckin' spinning rock in a chonky abyss.
