Asher Moore

Nolan Carter
Perhaps those ideas seem common sense because Nietzsche successfully permeated western culture
Adrian Clark
Great rebuttal. How can I ever recover?
Carson Scott
we have this thread every lifetime. Scientifically, that's pretty gay.

The only one you truly needed senpai, short and sum up what's NIETZSCHE
Jeremiah Perry
I thought Twilight of the Idols was intended to be the sum of his thought. Am I being wrong on this?

I started with Zarathustra because it was in my dad's bookshelf and I didn't know it was not supposed to read first
>The living thing did I follow; I walked in the broadest and narrowest
paths to learn its nature.
With a hundred-faced mirror did I catch its glance when its mouth was
shut, so that its eye might speak to me. And its eye spoke to me.
But wherever I found living things, there heard I also the language of
obedience. All living things are obeying things.
And this heard I secondly: Whatever cannot obey itself, is commanded.
Such is the nature of living things.
This, however, is the third thing which I heard - namely, that commanding
is more difficult than obeying. And not only because the commander
bears the burden of all obeyers, and because this burden readily
crushes him:-
An attempt and a risk seemed all commanding to me; and whenever it
commands, the living thing risks itself thereby.
Yes, even when it commands itself, then also must it atone for its commanding.
Of its own law must it become the judge and avenger and victim.
What did he mean by this?
If I think that I can't command myself, at least in this moment of my life, so I start obeying VOLUNTARILY someone who I think is worth obeying so I can learn to obey and then be able to obby my I own command, am I being really commanded by the other or am I already commanding myself and the other to command me? I would ask this to Nietzsche himself but since he is dead...
