ZARATHUSTRA

Speaking of edgy teenagers, I read this in high school when I WAS an edgy teenager. I smoked a cartoonishly huge blunt to the face and read this. The German madman scrambled my neural circuits. He packed so much truth into such a small space that my head was literally spinning like a top. My head was spinning like a top, literally. I smoked a blunt to the face and reaD thus spake zarathustra by nietzsche and it changed my views of things my head was spinning like a god damn top, literally. Changed my views forever. Germany.

Nietzsche was a very sad, very lonely man who said a whole load of absolute nonsense shit that can be very powerful to the individual but is absolutely, totally abused by "nihilist" privileged kids that get a little sad sometimes and need an excuse to detach themselves from the world they live in.

Nietzsche writes as if he were the most woke, powerful writer of his time and admittedly in context his writings were a fucking bombshell. But you need to turn his own philosophy - especially that in Beyond Good and Evil - on himself, and recognise that he is a hateful dickhead who cannot string together a sentence with substance for the life of him.
His politics is trash, his philosophy is nonsense garbage for the most part, and his rhetoric is condescending and annoying;
bare all of that in mind and you may take something very personal and powerful from him like I did. Please never post a quote of his on Facebook.

His philosophy his laughable, his point of view is despicable, his selfishness is obvious.

Grow up.

...

it's very similar with Zhuāngzi philosophy books
both of them want to destroy old believes in their society
both come from different age and different culture

In my opinion, it's his worst work. It's just an overwrought and belaboured display of German profundity. For all of his perspicuousness and great sense of humour, I really don't understand why he sought to mystify himself through prophetic parables and dodgy diction. It's a terrible, sloppy mess which is totally unworthy of him. All it shows is that an author's judgement is not sovereign in relation to his work and even the best could do with some editorial guidance.

thoughtful criticism? intelligence? something that makes you think?

on my Veeky Forums?

what's become of this place?

Meaningless garbage critique that doesn't engage with the work at all. Literally
>Ahh, Nietzsche's new work.. Indeed, indeed, quite erudite, but I found it.. rather tiresome!
affected bourgeois dinner conversation: the post.

Never read philosophy again. You are demoted to being an honorary woman.

zarathustra is a culmination, not a stand alone text

...Fez?
