nietzsche is an overrated nationalist meme

why would nationalists meme somebody who was against nationalism?

I don’t understand how this comment is constructive, or encourages the reader to think more deeply about anything. It appears to me that this comment’s only purpose is to display the cleverness of the author. Unfortunately, despite the collective efforts of the commentariate, we do get infiltration from those who are apparently determined to give the impression that they are incapable of parsing an entire piece of writing and reading it as a whole.
As has been previously noted (regular readers will be aware) we (that’s the “Royal we” — fellow commenters, occasional contributors such as myself and the moderator team) are engaged in an ongoing attempt to keep the quality of comments at its former impeccably high standard. Sadly, this is more of an effort than it should be.
And as a writer, it is rather tiresome having to try to explain to the occasional numpty who happens across a post basic reading comprehension skills, how to follow an argument when it is constructed long-form and the ability to master data interpretation.
And I’ve just caught up on all the subsequent comments on this page. All the other commenters have managed to make coherent and intelligible contributions that furthered my understanding or gave me something to think about, because they took the trouble to type more than a single sentence. I don’t agree with everything that’s been said in other comments. Quite the opposite in a couple of cases. But at least I understand what was expressed and the intention behind it.

"overrated nationalist meme" is a meme the past few days

Tried to force myself to study but failed and spent all day raging at the unauthenticity of any kind of path there is to take in this life while trying to hang on a little hope that I'm not even sure on what is based

I masturbated to chastity porn.

i think that it's a mistake to see nietzsche as offering anything more complex than a kind of narrative analysis way of looking at the world by punctuating it with the episodes of a larger transcendent conflict between apollonian and dionysian forces. in his big nietzsche book, kaufmann calls this nietzsche's "dialectical monism," an ontology of a perpetual self overcoming of reality by its stronger self. likewise with apollo and dionysius, only here, the directional forces resisting or accelerating the self overcoming movement are categorically privileged, rather than the discrete regions of the reality ranked by relative strength and weakness—apollo/dionysius analytics treat the mover, while strength/weakness treats the moved.

This is what brainlets who skip birth of tragedy will never understand

I jacked off to internet porn this morning, had a shower, then went to work. Do those count?

>tfw you try to "philosophize with a hammer" and succeed in nothing more than destroying anything you could ever recognize as a cohesive world view
What the fuck? What am I supposed to do?

become a critic

any cohesive worldview is myopic and not an accurate representation of things as they are. reality is too complex to be signified by any single human system

Nothing. I am become the Ubermensch. I have shed my pathetic ego and bathed in the waters of posthumanity, reveling in the collective algorithmic construction of identity as a consequence of specific points of observation along a linear function of timespace, but never fully coalescing into a specifc and complete identity outside of the specific data of all collected points of observation, processing results, predictive matrices calculated, and action decided upon, the gaps between two in some cases coming down to a single collapse of a single wave function... yet, a non-infinite, countable number. I *am* a number, and yet I am unique and irreproducible at this specific moment, and at all specific moments by which I claim this identity, as a human being who seeks experience at the cost of all else, knowing that the answer to every riddle of time and space is "omniscience:" for once possessed, it provides you with the knowledge to accomplish all else.

Care to help a nigga (me ) out? Share some tips brwe

You are supposed to actually philosophize with one of those tunning forks. With an small vibration and BOOM c u later Plato's REPUBLIC!!!! Just with that the bases of any faggy philosopher's philosophical systems will slowly crash
THE STROK MUST BE PROTECTED FROM THE WEAK

BTFO LOL

>(((kaufmann)))
GTFO here with that.

Word, homie:

It's impossible to *not* be authentic. Inauthenticity of human behavior is a meme. People literally *can't* be fake as long as they are *aware* they are being fake. You can ironically do something and simultaneously experience it authentically, because your authentic experience is through a filter of conclusions that have formed your basis of interpretation.

Nobody knows what the fuck they're doing. They think they do, but they chalk up luck to good planning and their fucking things up to bad karma, and they just smile and play along like they meant to do it all along.

It's how humans have always behaved. It's what we are. We're placeholders for society to find meaning in, and sometimes all we have is the knowledge that our own unique, special, inimitable suffering is meaningful to some degree.

And it is. Logically. The idea that we all have individual meaning and there is some larger pattern through which all our answers may be found is actually a logical consequence of the mathematics. Since infinity is something irrational, we cannot possibly express it in a rational way. This carries over into our lived physical experience, and since every piece of information you are receiving can be expressed digitally, your entire empirical reality is essentially a sum total of non-infinite data points along a linear timeline (albeit, it's fucking *huge*, but it's definitely a non-infinite countable). This makes you both completely reproducible and completely irreproducible at the same time. It's a paradox, but it's one of those things you have to just accept in order to resolve. It's irrational. You exist and at the same time you don't. It's only from an outside observer that it makes any difference at all, so I guess we have to just learn that we need each other, and try to understand the bigger picture.

Hope that helps...

I'm not sure... But thanks anyways
The problem is that I don't know what to do with my life. I want to major in philosophy in the best uni in my country, the chances of that happening are low but I still can do it if I study really hard now. But I don't really know if thats the life I want, seems so vapid and the academia ambience is disgusting.
I would read novels and poetry all day while doing some other mimum wage job, but that doesnt promise nothing at future
I don't know mane

no you

If you want to major in philosophy, major in philosophy. Maybe you can get into the "best" uni; maybe not - it doesn't matter what uni you go to (especially at first), but it definitely matters that you want to major in philosophy. Do it. If you like reading novels and poetry, then maybe double-major in Lit as well. Of course it will be vapid sometimes. Of course the "academia ambiance" is disgusting (I find it obtusely elitist in that special way that people get when they literally don't understand how privileged they are... there's a lot of that at all colleges, though). So what? Fuck them. There will also be people who also love reading and talking, to whom you get to talk about things you're all reading. You'll meet people. You'll form relationships. You'll see things from different perspectives. You'll understand more shit. If you can do that, do that.

How does that make you completely irreproducible?

> reality is too complex to be signified by any single human system
And what is it you are signifying, when you qualify reality as being X?

>Nietzsche
>nationalist

What meme is this

7/10 enjoyed reading

>I want to major in philosophy
Literally why
Inb4 why not, the why not is the thousands of dollars

What a bunch of garbage

Only cucks would want to sublimate their will to power.

I don't care. I'm pretty much lowkey suicidal desu. Even if I had all the money I would be unhappy

am I sublimating the "will to power", or am I sublimating "will" to "power"? Pretty important distinction.

Unironically do drugs. Opiods and poetry are what keep me waking with a smile

talk shit to people on Veeky Forums

Why would anyone do opioids when they could be on amphetamine all the time?

Because my dealer doesn't have amphetamines and I'm not gonna buy drugs on the internet I just don't believe it. Opiods are perfect for greek poetry I feel like I'm in a neo classical painting
