This video is the closest I'll ever come to understanding Nietzsche and I studied philosophy in Germany.

Allow me to simplify it further:

Do or do not, but stop hogging the cocaine.

(The priest class as a bimbofied ubermensch is actually a pretty genius comparison imo)

I don't think anyone has actually read Nietzsche

I actually read some very recently because I heard that the recent PhilosophyTube had a bunch of bad takes. He's actually far more fun to read than I realised

I'll have you know I bought an English copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and read almost the entire first dozen pages. Twice!

Ecce Homo is... interesting. Quoting Tears for Fear:

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad

It's one of his last books and it's obvious his eccentricity is bordering madness already. It contains chapters like "Why I Am So Wise", "Why I Am So Clever", "Why I Write Such Good Books", and "Why I Am a Destiny". Some scholars say it's a provocative or sardonic way of presenting an autobiography; I wouldn't be so sure.

I couldn’t tell you much beyond this since it was boring and I don’t remember but: “God is dead” was not emo edgy bullshit but rather an observation that society as a whole was growing more secular, to way over-generalize the context.

I read Thus Spoke Zarathustra when I went through a phase of reading "classical" philosophy books. I remember liking it, though I don't remember much of it anymore.

That's pretty wholesome, they managed to find some common ground.

Yeah, I love this dissolution into honesty from them both!

That or there's some wild context we're missing.

Internet arguments if people were actually being honest

Classic bot conversation?

Sure but Albert Einstein disagreed with it.
